Right realists believe that crime is not a social construction as other theories such as the labelling theory believe they believe it is a real problem. Official statistics show an increase in violence against the person’s offences of 1% and an increase of 25% in sexual offences against girls. Right realists state crime destroys communities as well as threatens work ethic in today society, this view is shared with neo conservatives. As stated in item A James Q Wilson states that crime is a result of biological differences, some people are more biologically predisposition to commit crime. Eysenck’s personality theory states criminal behaviour is a result of genetics and the nervous system.
The claims they assert have no factual basis or cause. Most of the claims made by gun control advocates can be proven wrong by statistical information. The statistical information used by gun control supporters to boost numbers were falsified somewhat to begin with. The argument of gun control comes from a false basis, has no real evidence suggesting gun control would solve crime rate issues, and infringes on the 2nd amendment right ,therefore,lies unconstitutional.

“Analyzing the Text” Michael Levin’s, “The Case for Torture” argues that there are various reasons for allowing torture in the United States of America. Michael Levin believes that torture is justified when victims are at risk, claiming that torture is not merely permissible but morally mandatory. The author makes hypothetical scenarios in which people’s lives are in danger and preventing future events from occurring. Then stating his position on torture when people’s lives are placed in danger. Levin’s target audience is Americans because his use of American symbolism such as “July 4,” and “unconstitutional.” In addition, the United States is not the only victim of terrorist attacks.
They are rare and hard to get access to, having very strict licensing laws. The pro-arming argument is that the Police would be a deterrent and would protect the officers. People who say that arming the Police would be a deterrent use other armed countries as an example of why we should have it; I don't believe this is an accurate view of the matter. Worldwide 2011 crime statistics show that in the USA there were 12, 664 murders, and 8,583 were caused by firearms. Compared to the UK where 648 murders where only 58 were caused by firearms.
Gun control does not work for many reasons such as ; it gives criminals more confidence (Smith) , limits the the civilians ability to protect themselves, and in the end is a direct cause of an increase in violent crime. With this being said, gun control is ineffective in England due to a large increase in violent crime since the laws have been implemented. There are many types of guns. They are classified by how they look and operate. There are three main types: handguns, shotguns, and rifles (Agresti).
People with felonies and known mental health issues are unable to possess a weapon legally in the United States. Need citation Study data show that victims who use firearms for self-defense are 67% less likely to be injured than those using other kinds of weapons. Study data shows that screaming and running away is far more dangerous to the victim than using a firearm to resist a rapist. ( Kates Article, at 538 - 39 & n. 93, 101; 540-41 & n. 106;) Other countries' severe limits on firearms ownership have reduced murder, suicide, and crime rates. Studies by David Kopel and others of foreign "gun control" laws show no consistent correlation between "gun control" laws or gun ownership rates, and the rates of murder, suicide, and crime.
Anti-Drug Legislation Analysis Steven Duden CJA/354 Criminal Law March 26, 2012 Gary Weil Anti-Drug Legislation Analysis Drugs can be problematic; however, some of the anti-drug legislation policies can at times be even more problematic. Critics of the these strong anti-drug legislation policies and laws comment that such tactics result in raids of homes, family dogs getting shot, children shot, and regular civilians who aim to protect his or her homes as the police is serving the search warrant on the wrong address. These critics also say that these strong-anti-drug laws don’t address the gangs, many of whom have a very sophisticated way of recruiting young juveniles to become drug dealers. Additionally, looking at crime statistics before and after Prohibition, these statistics indicate that there were more crimes during these laws against alcohol, after the restrictions were repealed (Benson, 2009). Economists who have studied these anti-drug policies criticize them by taking a stance that the ongoing effort continues to cost billions of dollars to tax payers while offering little results in terms of reduction of drug users.
If one was to choose to advocate for gun rights, they would not be advocating that everyone own a gun and run around shooting this very dangerous weapon, they would be advocating for safe gun use and possession. This definition is one that silences one of the few prominent arguments gun control advocates have left, this being that with more guns, comes many more accidental gun deaths and other non-attack related crimes such as suicide, the percentage of suicide with guns is very highly correlated with household gun ownership rates. These are issues that arise because of the lack of gun safety. If guns were to become more readily available, gun safety would obviously have to be very heavily enforced. Multiple courses would be required to be taken before one purchases a gun, safes or cases with heavy locks should also be required to be purchased with the gun, the list of options can continue on for a long time.
Why are prisons bursting at the seams? According to Joe Romaine of the International Business Times, it is because of America’s “insane drug laws,” which are doing more harm than good (Romaine). Many people may argue that drug offenders are getting what’s coming to them— they broke the law, and therefore it is part of their consequence to suffer through the overcrowded “cruel and unusual” incarceration. Individuals who argue this point are mistaken because although criminals should indeed receive punishment for their actions, there comes a time when a line of propriety is crossed. The ‘war on drugs’ has become a harsh and unnecessary measure that frankly costs American taxpayers far too much money.
Capital punishment Upon reading the essay, More Innocents Die When We Don’t Have Capital Punishment, which argues against the criterion that abolishing capital punishment saves innocent lives, I was able to successfully conclude that the argument introduced in the essay is not a valid argument. The given argument is not in logical form because the two premises, whether it is true or not, fails to support the conclusion in a manner where the conclusion can be arguable just by the two statements. For example, if Premise #2 which states, “Far more innocent people have already died because we did not execute their murderers” were true, then one would be able to logically argue that conclusion is also true. The writer also claims that murderers
