One of the hot topic stories of the twenty-first century is the issue of gang violence popping up all around the country. In places like New Mexico, California, Nevada and Idaho, gangs are the more concentrated. People are scared to go outside and live their daily lives because of the danger of getting hurt or even killed. So, how do we fix this? While some experts may try and go out and stop the present problem of gang violence, I think the most effective way to solve this problem is finding…

One of the ways I would try and reduce or prevent as much crime as in today’s world would be to re-structure the police practices from using aggressive force during un-necessary traffic stops, which I consider labeling. After all the killings of black men, we have a lot of problems surrounding our justice system, including the courts. It is up to us to make sure that our children and grandchildren are safe, especially if you are a person of color. There is a big difference between black and…

As I was watching a television show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., one of the characters invented something that they called an "icer." It was a gun that shot out dendrotoxins so the victim would be temporarily paralyzed, but not killed. It seemed to me that with the incidents of police brutality that have been prevalent in our news lately, a non-lethal weapon seems like it could be a benefit. We've had many news reports of accidental police shootings due to panic. If the policeman pulls out and…

The Big Sleep is a movie which is based on Chandler's novel. It has an interesting title because there was nothing about sleep during the movie. Besides sleep, there were a lot of deaths. Therefore, sleep which means being nearly unconscious may have been used to refer to death. The movie was about a detective who undertakes a job of saving an old millionaire man's daughters from blackmailers. However, it did not stay that far because the daughters were not innocence also. First of all, almost…

Third and even more importantly, police should wear body cameras because it prevents violence. Researchers at the University of South Florida released a report about a year long study of police wearing cameras. From March 2014 to February 2015, 46 officers wore cameras while 43 did not. Use-of-force incidents dropped 53 percent among the officers with cameras (Wing 2015). This study is trying to prove that the cameras have had a great outcome when used. The way the study compared two sides shows…

Mental health is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Lives have been lost through improper treatment of unstable individuals time and time again through mass shootings and other tragedies. Guns are often blamed as the culprit for these attacks but I disagree. While stronger gun control could help lessen the effects of mass shootings, it's not solving the common problem these shootings have in common with each other, the shooter is almost always a mentally unstable person. Banning…

Have you ever wondered what law enforcements could do to improve relationships with minorities? Well in this essay I will give you some helpful suggestions. Law enforcements should never use excessive force to try and take down someone. They should try to shoot their arm instead of shoot to kill. They should treat them the same as if they were white. They should create a more diverse law enforcement. One suggestion I have is don’t shoot to kill. Shoot them in the arm or in the leg instead of a…

Nation's most controversial: Guns Disclaimer, this is not a paper about abortion or space semi trucks, this is a paper about why guns are not such a bad thing. Many people may not have grown up in a household with guns, and do not feel comfortable with them. Due to lack of education of guns in many people’s views causes some to have negative preconceived ideas about guns. Many individuals do not realize that guns provide a balance of power in society which proved successful for our…

The male case is a first time federal offender and was sentenced to 2 years for 4 counts of robbery and 3 counts of the use of an imitation firearm. Robbery is considered a violent offence, but the issue with this it is generalizing all robbery as violent. The victims of the robbery only received minor injury of hitting, slapping and striking. Mild psychological harm to victims where their was no victim impact statement and where the victim even refused medical help. In my opinion, a person…

Our lives need protecting. What if there’s a dangerous criminal? Guns shouldn’t be banned, people need them for protection. Plus it wouldn’t be fair to ban all guns if people really need them. People could probably die if we didn’t have guns. Guns save lives everyday and saves them anywhere you can think of. People need to be safe. What if an intruder came into your home and he/she is stealing your things and trying to kill you? I think a gun should be provided in that case. As an adult I…
