In Lepines’ letter, he sites how feminists had ruined his life and they were the reason he committed this crime. Feminist theory on crime explains this thought clearly. Lepines’ ideas about the roles of women were formed by a patriarchal society leading him to believe in some that women were not equal to men and should not be given all the opportunities of men (Knuttila, 305). These women wanted to be educated and become engineers; Lepine could not cope with this fact and blamed women, namely feminist for his short comings in life. Did Lepine come up with these ideas himself or was he a product of a society that dictated classical roles and oppression of women?
This type of murder or murder-suicide differs from other forms of mass murder in that the murderer kills family members or loved ones rather than anonymous people. This means that there is a different psychodynamic and psychiatric significance, however the distinction is not made. What is a common stereotype among mass murders within the family, is that the perpetrator is typically the father. However there are many cases where either the wife or children commit the assault. However, for the sake of this paper we will stick to one of the

Making note of whether or not this family is influenced by conditions in which they live, such as, the inner-city and making note of relationship between the family and the community..

Harvey Jones Professor Robert Frazier CJ 420 Strategies and Crime Prevention October 21, 2014 Policing and the Fear of Crime Summary This article titled Policing, and the Fear of Crime, was mainly about the relationship between fear and crime and how it affected those who have been victims of crime. The article started off by giving examples of a nurse that was raped, a black family whose home was vandalized, and a teenager from the ghetto that is shot to death. The authors stated in the article that society would focus more on what the victims and their material losses rather than the victims fear and worry about repeated victimization. In certain cases this is true. When someone is robbed and you hear about it on the news most people specifically wait to hear what was stolen rather than how safe the victim feels after the attack.
Some of the tactics they employ include starvation, beatings, rape, and gang rape. Also, the traffickers are not the only ones to perpetrate violence. Reading ahead, I noticed we will be learning about Power and Social Justice and this subject fits in perfectly because there is no answer to why people hurt one another. Our previous assignments focused on issues in society such as the one in Enrique’s Journey and Loaves and Fishes and George Orwell’s 1984.

There are some situations where women are the perpetrators of the abuse and men are the victims, but usually clinicians only see women seeking treatment for abuse. The US Department of Justice estimates that women are up to eight times more likely than men to be victimized by an intimate partner. Nurses play a very important role in identifying and treating the victims of intimate partner violence. Intimate partner violence is summarily defined as an ongoing pattern of domination and control perpetrated against an intimate partner through a culmination of physical violence, sexual assault, and/or psychological abuse. The abuser’s ultimate goal is to establish control over their victims.
Gordon Brown, former prime Minister, warned ‘frail and ill people would be under pressure to end their lives if the suicide laws were changed.’ It would also risk pressure on the vulnerable people in society who may feel their existence a burden to others. A survey showed that 70% of disabled people would feel more pressure to kill themselves if the suicide law was changed. There is also the issue of people’s wishes fluctuating. Would it be making it too easy for people to end their lives and be legally helped to end their lives? Assisted Suicide is one of those controversial topics where everyone has different opinions, and everyone thinks their opinion is right.
With the new concealed weapons law passed in Illinois, criminals must think about if wonder if their next victim will be carrying a concealed weapon or not. This may stop that crime from happening. Every law abiding citizen has the right to protect themselves, their family and their property. With the current gun control law that just passed in the State of Illinois and the other 49 states. A person must complete a background check, go through a gun safety class and once that is completed then pay a hefty dollar amount for the concealed gun permit.
Although this person may be affiliated with some type of religion, their religion is not present at this time. They are for the death penalty because the shoe is on the other foot and they are the victim in the situation. Someone close to them was murdered and they feel that they best punishment would be to kill them; despite the fact that they were on the other recently going against the death penalty. The mood that they are in also is a deciding factor in this situation. They are hurt and upset and feel that justice must be done.
