killed. Also the oppression of the system had a lot to do with his hostility. There is a fundamental of attribution error, because an internal factors such as his childhood and his beliefs on African Americans isn’t what made him commit a brutal murder, but that’s what was so assuming about this movie. If inmates lives didn’t operate on survival guides things would be okay but no, and if Kell had never met the group of men that he met, he may or may not had never came in contact with Lonnie let…

According to the Death Penalty Information Center, states without the death penalty have lower murder and homicide rates than states with the death penalty. So, clearly the death penalty does not act as a deterrent to crime. Sure, there are other factors that account for crime rates, yet, if you think about it, if you were going to commit murder, would it not make more sense to do it in a state without the death penalty? Surely, you can trick your victim to cross state…

analysis. The online case I decided to do my research on was the Jodi Arias case. I believe the reason I picked this case over the others was this case was very interesting to me. Sure the O.J. Simpson case was a big one, but we all know he got away with murder. The George Zimmerman’s case didn’t last that long, and I felt that I would just find the same information in my research. This is because in my other class we had to do a research paper on Zimmerman or James Holmes. I found a lot more…

ten people in Kansas in a span of 17 years. These men are some of the most prolific serial killers in history. What makes these monsters different from us? What makes a serial killer? This question has plagued psychologists for centuries. Serial murders have augmented over the past 30 years…

Should The Death Penalty Be Abolished? In the discussion of the death penalty and its legality, many will wholeheartedly agree that sentencing someone to death for a crime is immoral. However, this agreement will usually end with the question of if these criminals are deserving of death and if we as a scoiety have the power to condemn them to death. Many believe that if the crime is deserving, we should have the right to end a life, but there are others who believe that no crime is worth a…

Well after reading an article about abortion I wanted to delineate why it is wrong in my opinion. The murder of life is why I 'm an opponent of abortion. So murder should be punished or in this case prevented from happening by passing a law to make abortion illegal. I think it 's necessary to protect those who can not protect them selfs, the unborn babies. Now this is my opinion.
