Alcohol affects judgment, and contributes to thousands of deaths every year, but it is perfectly legal (as long as you are over 21), and is not considered a public health risk. The Division of Vital Statistics reported that in 2009 there were over 15,000 deaths caused from liver diseases as well as over 25,000 additional deaths related to the use of alcohol. There has never been a reported overdose from the use of just marijuana. Yet drunk drivers are responsible for nearly one half of the highway fatalities, around 65 people
Burglary and robbery crimes have also been steadily decreasing. Juvenile felony arrests in San Mateo County dropped considerably in the late 1990s, and have varied slightly in recent years.

The number of inmates released early from prison to community supervision or parole has dramatically decreased. Types of crimes for which offenders are convicted and sentenced to prison has not changed significantly since early 1990s. Almost 70 percent of all convicted offenders admitted to DOC have been sentenced to three years or less and most of those (47 percent) for one year or less. The court has not significantly changed its sentencing practices in imposing prison terms, but recently there has been an increase in the number of sentences of between five to 10 years and a decrease in sentences of one year or less. Violent crimes generally receive the longest prison sentence (about six years) and drug offenses the next longest (almost four years).

Objective: Positive effects of tobacco free campuses Cigarettes these days are becoming a part of everybody’s life, be it a smoker or a nonsmoker. Cigarette use has long been known as the main reason of lung cancer in millions of people, but now it is affecting many second-hand smokers, who don’t smoke but just breathe in the smoke from the air and then have to face respiratory diseases. And this epidemic of smoking is not limited to any age. These days’ young teenagers and adolescents are found to be smoking compared to people of bigger age.
