Matt Breslow 5/1/12 English 12 Carnright Teen Curfews Research Paper If your son/daughter was out past 9 p.m., would you feel safe? Many people have said no to this question with all the crime in the streets as of now. With the 2,800 juveniles that were arrested for homicide in 1994 (Teen Curfews), many people wouldn’t want their kids to be in that statistic. Because of this high number of arrested teens, they began to have curfews that made kids stay inside their homes after a set time. These curfews were made to enforce the law and try to lower the teen crime rate.
This is the main reason I do not think the Bloody Code played a part in stamping this out. There are various factors, however, that I believe were a part in stomping out highway robbery. Some clever people did just not want to become a highwayman. This is because of a few factors: houses were built on open land, which made it harder for highwaymen to rob people; people were starting to use banks instead of money, which meant sometimes highwaymen would rob people but they had no money to hand so it was pointless; rewards were being offered to encourage people to catch highwaymen, even if nobody was brave enough there was still a risk that they could be caught and hung and also justices of the peace(JPs) had stop licensing taverns which meant that highwaymen had to find other places to sell their loot. Open land around London was being built on as the population expanded.
Criminals usually plan out and act upon the scenario in a time when they’re not being followed and during the scenario they are not available; Wiggims was nowhere to be heard of or seen, therefore he is a suspect. As the Chief you are authorized to be in control of society, protect it and follow the higher authorization person(s). The Mayor of Springfield, Quimby, told the Police to “take out Burns,” and clearly chief Wiggims is once against suspected because of his authority as a police offer. The little time before and after the shooting, Chief Wiggims told Jimbo Jones to stay away from the statue near the parking lot (where Mr.Burns was shot near the Simpsons car) because he was loitering and during that time it can be safely assumed that Wiggims had committed the crime, got rid of evidence (jimbo Jones) and may have had some cause to leave bloodstains on the Simpsons car. After all the person who was not at the shooting, and was responsible for the case being Wiggims would be a great idea due to the authority(Chief Wiggims), power(Quimby) and the gun that had made the sound when shot.
However the one clue he did leave which was a leather apron was inadequate in those days due to the lack of technology. In source A it says both crimes were the work of a demented being. This suggests that the Ripper was clearly a inhumane being and the fact that the police did not pick up on this makes my feelings on how the police coped much less. Although there would be no clear sigh of madness surely there is some chance that someone would have picked up on the madness when knocking on peoples doors enquiring. The media may have disrupted police enquires by printing papers that exaggerate the situation and this may have given vital information to the Ripper as he may have read these articles and gained sufficient knowledge to get himself out of near misses i.e.
Back in that time, they did not have jails that one could go to if they committed a crime; there was no time for that. In order to sustain order in the community, there has to be some set of laws. Modern day people see these laws as harsh but back in Babylonian time, it was not. These laws were set to teach the people a lesson. One law, “If a man has stolen goods from a temple, or house, he shall be put to death; and he that has received the stolen property from him shall be put to death.” This teaches men not to steal.
This act was introduced to allow police more power to stop and search when they only suspect, also police can offer cautions without taking offences further. However, this act didn’t meet with universal apporoval, civil liberty groups and the legal profession opposed to several measures in the bill as many innocent people were released from years in imprisonment after this bill was introduced. The crime and
Because Unlike today, with DNA evidence, and other forensic tools, made famous by current TV shows, there was little to go on except the 'gut instinct' of the police, testimony of witnesses, etc. Since there were no witnesses to the grisly crimes and since many if not all of the victims were prostitutes, there was less to go on. Until it became sensational, I guess it was being covered in the newspapers, nobody would have cared if 'ladies of the evening' were killed, and some may have even thought they 'deserved
The government was also responsible for the brainwashing and passing the Bill of Life in the first place. That society would never had turned so dark and unloving if it wasn't for that bill. Most juvey cops are also people that agree with unwinding. They dedicate their life to finding these kids and throw them in a harvest camp. Officer Nelson feels that unwinds are “wastes of life” (Shusterman 39).
I believe that gun control laws do not prevent crime; they just restrict legal citizens from protecting themselves. According to what recently has been portrayed by the media, the shooter involved in every major gun crime has had some type of mental problem, and in almost every case, the shooters showed signs of the mental disorder long before they committed their crime. Sadly, it seems nothing or very little was done to help the person in question. People with mental problems should be able to find and receive the help they need. In some cases, a family member tried to take the person affected to receive help, but they were turned away because of lack of resources.
This tend to let the criminal go loose which raises concerns among the society as they are living among with those dangerous criminal and that the police officers have no ways to identify them even if they are able to identify the criminal, they could not put the criminals behind bars. At first crime control model were intended to assist police in getting the criminal. However some police officer had abuse their power given to solve their case quickly which led to miscarriages of justice which can be seen in the previous case. There are also other examples where police have misuse their power that leads to the conviction of innocent society. Situation like this can be seen in cases like Guildford four, Birmingham six, Maguire seven and many more.
