    Each gene except for the GP gene (which codes for two) codes for its own gene product for a total of 8.

    GPS allows law enforcement to track an offender either in Active or Passive GPS. Passive GPS stores data on the offender and downloads it through a land line for a probation officer to view and it can have a lag time of up to 12 hours.

The data or real time location of an offender can be seen every 1 to 10 minutes on a computer. Passive GPS is used in agencies…

By volunteering at St Oswald’s Hospice over the past six months, I have…

    I think that the idea of GPS tracking on guns is an interesting option. Ideally, it would help solve the issue of finding weapons that were used in a crimes and killings. It also could tackle the issue regarding those owning weapons illegally. More people would be discouraged from buying weapons that are not tracked and registered if they carried harsh punishments.
