Opposition to the Death Penalty
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the issue of capital punishment and argues against it. From a purely theoretical perspective, one has to consider personal belief systems and moral concerns. After years of debate, most Americans now believe the death penalty is an appropriate punishment. However, the view presented in this paper defends the idea that life imprisonment is more appropriate since the death penalty has been shown to not necessarily serve as a deterrent to crime.

And while we fondly call ourselves a democracy, the United States, is actually a "representational" democracy instead of a "direct" democracy.

This discussion will examine the fact, that we may change the party system; but we will not change the democratic process. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Police Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. Law enforcement exists in order to provide community protection and ameliorate situations that prove to threaten social accord. When the very individuals who are supposed to uphold this duty are the ones perpetuating the problem, the fine line that already exists between criminality and lawfulness becomes blurred to such an extent that there ends up being little difference between the two sides. Indeed, police are bound by a code of ethics that helps maintain a sense of equity and morality; when that code is breached and officers act as though they are above the law, the fundamental essence of civil safety stands in great peril. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
