And by using their identity to commit these crimes can seriously damage someone’s reputation. What if the only evidence police had for a crime was your name then what, it might end up on the news saying that this person is a wanted criminal. The police could end up putting the wrong person in jail. This person would have to go through a lot of trouble trying to clear their name and get their identity back. Even if that person manages to get their life back together identity theft still takes an emotional toll on its victims.
Just think if Spain still had control over Cuba and Hawaii, we would have to spend more money as a country to import sugar and pineapples. With America going to war with Spain and gaining control of Hawaii and Cuba these things are not taxed as much as they would have been. During the war however, many people in Spain and supporting Spain in the war, burnt the sugar cane fields and threatened the lives of many. People against the idea of imperialism were worried about the wars that it might entail and I cannot say that I blame them. With the Spanish American War happening because of the imperialism, this brought many people in America against the idea.
Drug Trafficking in the United States from Mexico Drug trafficking in the United States and Mexico is a huge problem for the United States because it has a negative impact on other areas in society such as crime rates. The government needs to find a solution to better control drug trafficking because it claims lives and destroys families. Research shows Marijuana and Cocaine are the top two most illegally abused drugs in the United States. James Gray (2001) points out: Not only is this drug-money corruption problem of enormous concern in its own right, but additional lawless behavior often is derived from it as well. For example, the entire southern California area was shocked in September 1999 when a former officer of the Rampart Division
Jay McClendon 9 September 2014 HIST 2111 - 03 Many people practice the notion that the laws of the land must be obeyed. Any persons that choose to be disobedient of the laws are typically seen as misfits. Marcus Rediker’s, Villains of All Nations, brings us into the golden age of piracy, in which pirates at the time were seen as misfits of every nation. Most pirates had no knowledge or authority within their community, and they lived everyday stealing, looting, and killing, in means to survive. Pirates developed their own tactics of survival, setting forth goals hoping to accomplish and live a life similar to those in power at the time.
Most of them were skinny and look very unhealthy their clothes look like they were made from rags it was just dreadful. I was disgusted by their appearances. The language they spoke was so different from ours I could hardly understand it. It were many slaves that we had no choice but to put them on deck which by the way is the worst part of the ship to stay. As days grew longer and the nights grew more mournful the weather started to get really bad.
Desmond LeSure Professor Bolton ENGL 1020 19 April 2012 “Is the Three-Strikes Law fair and ethical?” There are individuals who were known as habitual criminals who constantly repeated the cycle of committing a crime, getting arrested, and eventually getting released. In 1993, Americans noticed that this was very costly to the public because the process of arresting and trying these criminals was expensive. American tax payers were beginning to become concerned with this issue and wanted something to be done about habitual offenders. Society is pushing the issue that it was more logical to keep repeat criminals in jail and not release them to commit more crimes.

Summary I plan to forever leave Great Britain, the land of my birth, in hopes of leaving behind the disease and pestilence; the crime and poverty; the homelessness and the criminal behavior of Parliament. There are many that feel as I do and are anxious to book passage on a ship bound for the colonies. The public grows weary of sleeping in the alley-ways and risking incarceration due to vagrancy. Those caught are jailed and most lose all their worldly possessions in an attempt to pay fines set forth by the Magistrate upon release from the Gaols’. Those who can not pay the princely sums find themselves in debtor’s prison or worse - sentenced to the Hulks.
Emma Cave Adv. American II Mr. Barry 10/15/09 Advanced American II Term Paper: Organized Crime of the 1920’s & 30’s The 1920’s and 30’s was a difficult time for American society. Many resorted to lives of crime because they thought they had no other option or thought it was a better way to make money then an honest job. Others adored and idolized these outlaws, thinking they were heroes. In these times the justice department experienced much trouble from the Underworld they sought to try and get rid of, only to end up being used by them.
“Many people opposed to having a navy they thought it was too expensive”. We were paying too much to tribute to pirates in the Mediterranean to keep them in capturing our ships and enslaving our crews. “The Constitution fought first against French privateers and then Barbary pirates, the War of 1812 was her 3rd conflict and it was one in which she distinguished herself.” “The Distinctive in the Constitution was a unique item of war”, She fit a niche discovered by her designer, Joshua Humphreys.” He realized realized that for a long time, Our navy would be inferior in numbers to the navies of Europe”.” They were so big that they could beat other frigate, they were so fast that they could outrun any more powerful ship”. “In those days it was not considered cowardly to run from a battle with a ship of war of greater
