When first adopted from Parliament, it was known as The Forcible Entry Act. The Stand Your Ground law, in layman’s terms, is a branch of Self Defense which states that an individual has the right to use deadly force in an effort to protect himself or his property without a duty to retreat. This law is currently in effect in twenty-two states.

Handguns, gun control laws and firearm violence.
To go on, these same eye witnesses were never questioned by authorities until 48 hours after the incident occurred. This is a perfect example of how the Oxford police were indifferent to the crime and had no interest in pursuing justice. It is one thing to realize that so many townspeople would care so little, but it is the police’s job to care and effectively ‘protect and serve’. The racial killing of Marrow was not only grossly unnecessary but also morally lacking. It is hard to believe that even in the 1970’s so many people in my own town could so readily display such a disgusting side of human nature.
Sutherlands first three principles: 1. Criminal behaviour is learnt Sutherland found no evidence that heredity or human nature being involved in causes of criminal behaviour. People are not predetermined to be criminals because their parents were criminals (Joubert et al., 2009). They have to learn to commit crimes themselves. Just like anything in life you have to be taught how to do it, crime is the same you do not simply become a criminal.
