Capital punishment in Singapore

One habit of the defenders in the American legal system is their propensity to answer any outcome within the system that “the system worked.” Subsequently, as long as the defender can define what is meant by the claim, there is no result that can disprove it. Due to this, it is reasonable to argue that the acquittal of Casey Anthony and the removal of charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn are both examples of how the system should work. However, when accepting this argument entails recognizing…

Reference: According to our text, justifications of punishment are broken down into two school theories, utilitarian and retributive. Under retributive justification, retributivists believe that punishment based on the notion that people deserve it and the punishment should be in proportion to the crime (Brody & Acker, 2010, p. 7). In short, retributivists’ beliefs are based on philosophical philosophies of punishment, dealing with the moral aspects of humanity; mainly old school eye for an eye…

Death comes to each guest at different times and in different ways in the novel, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. The guest that should die first is Vera Claythorne.

An important question that we would randomly ask ourselves is “How do historians determine what happened in the past?”. Which is actually a great question, which my essay with explain. Historians studied history by putting bits and pieces together to make a whole. Let me explain, you have to have context when making a conclusion. Therefore historians would have to study a primary source first. A primary source is information from a person who was there to experience the event. They analyze…

The definition of the word civilized is opinion based. But being civilized is not simply just being objective it is subjective as well. There are two sides because the only way to to define the word civilized and to say whether a culture is civilized or not is to be apart of that culture. So i believe that the only way for me to know if the ibo culture is civilized is if i was apart of that culture. The way we live now the Ibo culture seems very uncivilized but that's because we only know what…

In contrast to Karen and Lorelei who portray stereotypical blonde bimbos, the protagonist in Legally Blonde, a comedic and inspiring movie published by Type A Film in 2001, defies the dumb blonde archetype by depicting a blonde hair female with both beauty and brain. Reese Witherspoon plays a ditzy sorority girl, Elle Woods, who is a bubbly, attractive, and Caucasian female with blonde hair.

Herndon was born on Jan. 12, 1938, in Houston. His career in journalism began when he volunteered for the U.S. Army and became editor for the Pacific Stars and Stripes’ Tokyo bureau.

The group included Pulitzer Prize winning…

As another person who had not at all heard of the Leo Frank case, I was less surprised by the results of the case than by the application of charges to Frank. In recent years, the federal conviction rate has been about 93%. This number is somewhat lower in state cases, and has been somewhat lower historically, but there is still a tremendous natural advantage to the prosecution. In addition to the obvious, such as the prosecution presenting its case first and receiving 2 closing arguments, this…

How crimes are classified by states vary and they are determined by the state legislature. Normally, the legislature also determines the maximum punishment allowable for each felony class. With this in place we avoid the need of defining specific sentences for every possible crime. This practice has been put into place to divide the levels of punishments, while one may be punishable by death, the other may only be punishable by the loss of freedom (imprisonment). In many parts of the United…
