Bowling alone by Robert Putnam is primarily summarized as our disengagement from the involvement in our communities. Putnam describes to the reader a decline in the civic engagement initially through our politics, particularly in the decline in “turnout [of] national elections over the last three decades,” “attendance [of] a public meeting on town or school affairs,” and “attending a political rally or speech, serving on a committee of some local organization, and working for a political party.”…

“We old fellows have a lot of time in town and that is where we sit down.” People had to known something because people talk. We already seen the observation of Anna Brown and Henry Roan were killed the same way. So I think they were killed by the same person or people. A.W Comstock is a new suspect in these killings because he was an quardian to the Osage so he was close to them. If you seemed to be a killer to one of your coworkers on the case, then you probably had something to do with it and…

Plea bargaining is right and proper and should be continued. In the United States plea bargaining is considered an essential part of the criminal justice system (Terrill, 2013, p. 82). I consider plea bargaining a necessary evil. With overwhelming court dockets, a plea bargain allows the prosecutor to streamline the court docket as well as minimizing costs (Savitsky, 2009, p. 9). It would be impossible and take entirely too much time to take every case to trial. When a defendant receives…

A lot of criminals come from troubled childhoods and/or broken homes. Most people don't wake up thinking that they want to start a life of crime because they have nothing better to do. Jeffrey Dahmer and Charles Manson are no exception. I would like to think if they were raised differently, they might not have become the notorious criminals that people love to hate. Dahmer and Manson have been in and out of jail since they were young. Manson raped a fellow male inmate while serving time at…

The use of public shaming has been used for centuries to humiliate people who broke the law. In some ways it is still being used whether it be social media or on the news, public shaming has never stopped being used. According to The Wall Street Journal (1987),”True, public shaming may work much less well for hardened criminals or in larger cities, where people do not know one another. And if very frequently used, it may lose much of its potency. In short, it is not a cure-all for our severely…
