relations with the mayor have afforded him $32 million in the new budget for mental health programs and more correction officers (Winerip and Schwirtz, 2014). This is fantastic news! Working to rehabilitate offenders who are mentally ill will reduce crime, ultimately save tax dollars, reduce prison populations, and it is much more compassionate and humane. Unfortunately, there cannot be a change at Rikers without the correction officers’ union on board, and the president has made it very clear…

Drunk people are not the only ones who slur. Hate crimes are typically acts of violence motivated by racial, sexual, and other prejudice. Stereotypical classification is also a main contributor to the acts of aggression known as hate crimes. Racial slurs are acts of vicious slander that purposely single out someone’s differences to make them feel inadequate. There are several degrees of hate crimes that range anywhere from a distasteful comment, to a premeditated murder. Racial slurring is fuel…

foreigner must pass in order to become a legal citizen, the problem is illegal immigration. The sad truth is most of the people coming over illegally are coming in order to commit various crimes or are simply looking for work, but at the cost of being in debt to dangerous criminals. They commit a staggering amount of crimes, take jobs for less than minimum wage that any person on welfare or without a home would take in a heartbeat, and yet some politicians refuse to deport any illegal immigrant…

One of the most influential theories discussing the issue at hand is rational choice theory. This theory, was first introduced by Cesare Beccaria and concluded that offenders often weight the costs and benefits of a crime before committing the deviant act, however, recent ethnographic research suggests otherwise.

When thinking about guns, the next word that automatically pops into my head, is crime. Crime and guns seem to go hand in hand and there is a strong association between the two. Changing the gun laws in the United States is a simple directive to combat the dangerous crimes in which guns are misused. Guns are powerful weapons. They can be used to defend and protect, but also be used to cause harm, destruction, and death, by those who abuse the right to use them. So why is it that gun control…

reinstated is because the crime rate would go down. Many people feel like they do not have a purpose in life so they turn to criminal activity for a sense of a purpose. Being a part of the military and fighting for their country would give them a reason to do something with their lives.
