Adult Entertainment And The City Of New York
... are set forth by the New York Department of City Planning for the following reasons: decrease property values of surrounding business and residents, increase in crime, substantial loss of business because of loss in investments and decline in economic and pedestrian activities.
Issues.
The controversies in the dispute involving the interests of the city versus the interests of the Adult Entertainment enterprises are three-fold. First, in the process of zoning property boundaries, the government must avoid a regulating factor that allows a commercial business to have no other competition. A monopoly is an illegal economic entity in our free-market syste ...

The Extradition Of Nazi War Criminals
... universal law
prohibiting one human being from killing another. But during times of war
murder of the enemy is allowed, which leads one to the question, "if murder
is permissible then what possible "laws of war" could there be?" The
answer to this question can be found in the Charter established at the
International Military Tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo:
Crimes against Humanity: namely, murder, extermination, enslavement,
deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian
population, before or during the war, or persecutions on political, racial
or religious grounds in execution of or in connection with any crime within
the jurisd ...

Gun Control
... people feel that gun control violates the right of the people
given in the second amendment the right "to bear arms". Opponents of gun
control, including the National Rifle Association, better known as the NRA,
argue that the "right To bear arms" is guaranteed in the second amendment
of the Constitution of the United States of America and licensing
restrictions penalize law-abiding citizens while in no way preventing
criminal use of handguns. It is also argued that by making it difficult
for guns to be bought and registered for the American public there is a
threat to the personal safety of American families everywhere.
However controlling the sale a ...

Crimes
... of the offense, according to the motives of the offenders. Such may include economic , political , of passion, organized crime, and white collar crime.
I had the opportunity to work with the "CAPS" organization (Chicago Alternative Policing Stradegy) of the Chicago Police Department. Citizens complain about young people being out of control, or that someone parked two inches inside thier handycap parking spot. Criminal justice majors are hired by the city of Chicago to explain to the citizens that working together with the police can produce solutions to minor problems like the "Parkers", or the "Loud People".

Capital Punishment: Costs Of The Death Penalty
... we pay to execute certain groups at much
higher rates than others.
We pay different prices for using a death penalty. Sadly, today more than
ever, the dollar seems to be the endlessly interchangeable standard of value.
We strive to make money, save money and when we spend money we do so with a
valued return in mind. Accordingly, a popular argument contends that we spend
too much money incarcerating prisoners for life. We probably do but the price
tag on issuing a death sentence according to a Florida study is $3.1 million
compared to $1 million for a life sentence; a 3100% difference (Walker 1994,
108). Imagine your death being valued at $3.1 million - ...

Alcohol And Driving While Intoxicated
... enhances your mood. If your angry, after a couple
drinks you may be quite possibly angrier. If you are sad, you probably will
feel sadder after some drinks. It is not good to drink and drive when you are
in a good mood, but your driving is also influenced by your mood. It can make
you drive faster, pay attention less, etc… Study's have shown that the
combination of anger, and drinking is responsible for much of reckless driving.
Not only can alcohol enhance your mood, but it has been proven that it can
quickly alter your mood. When alcohol is consumed, it is not digested. It
passes through your stomach and small intestine directly into the bloodstream
and is ...

Gun Control-Forfeiting Our Rights
... we simply remove a dangerous element from society, the bad effects of this element will disappear. Proponents of gun control feel that if they can limit the availability of guns, crime will cease.
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
This statement was said by Thomas Jefferson, one of the singlemost important men in the foundation of our country. Almost all gun control ...

Medical Malpractice
... In its
simplest terms, malpractice has four essential elements: 1) Duty. Every
health care provider assumes a duty when starting consultations, diagnosis, or
treatment of a patient. The duty arises from an expressed or implied contract.
2) Breach. For example, if you fail to make a correct diagnosis once you have
assumed the duty to do so, you have created a "breach of duty", due and owing to
the patient. 3) Causal Connection. Your failure to correctly diagnose,
("duty" you "breached") the duty due and owing to the patient and as a direct
and proximate cause of your breach, caused damages. 4) Damages. The result of
your failure to diagnose correctly, ...

Should Gambling Be Legalized?
... In recent years,
the attendance at casinos has nearly doubled the attendance at all major league
baseball games, with close to 130 million people visiting casinos every year.1
With so much money at stake, the average gambler does not stand a chance
against this big business. The casinos go to every length to analyze what makes
a gambler bet, stay longer, and loose as much money as possible.
Gamblers who come to casinos with the intention of winning money are
habitually disappointed. As casino crime lord, Meyer Lansky's universal
gambling truth states; "Gamblers never win, the house never loses"2 Slot
Machines and most table games allow players to make bets w ...

Legalization Of Marijuana
... way up the Mississippi River, and within a decade was commonly
used throughout the entire nation. Currently, marijuana is considered a “
Schedule One controlled dangerous substance.” That classification makes
it a crime to be in possession of marijuana. In New York State,
possession of under four ounces of marijuana is a violation, and is
punishable by only a ticket, and possible probation. Possession of four
ounces or more can result in jail time.
One argument in favor of legalizing marijuana is its potential use
as medicine. Many of the effects marijuana has on the mind and body are
helpful in fighting several diseases. Marijuana has often been used to
