Firstly, people may not be responsible for their acts. Statistics show that in the USA most executions that took place; people were proven to be insane [1].The effect of this is injustice and unfair due to the fact the person was not aware of what he or she was doing. They are in a state of mind which prevents normal behaviour. Moreover some see it as immoral which leads to disadvantages. As people state “to take a life when a life is lost is revenge, not justice”.
They think different. They act different’ emphasises that they are not the same as everyone in society. Juror 10 compares the people from the slum as animals ‘They breed like animals’ which builds up to a metaphor ‘they are wild animals’. Juror 10 doesn’t believe in a fair trial ‘I don’t give a goddamn about the law’ he just wants the defendant to be prosecuted because he is one of ‘them’ which is unjust. Numbering of jurors rather than naming them as individuals emphasises that they are meant to be objective.
Because we are poor, shall we be vicious?’, illustrating clearly her belief that murder or violence is not the correct or dignified way of conducting oneself. This realisation by at least some of the characters that violence is not the only way of achieving goals is pivotal to understanding whether or not the White Devil is indeed nothing more than a demonstration of imaginative ways to commit murder, as Cornelia’s sarcastic exclamation heavily implies that other characters do act without a need for violence, therefore exemplifying that The White Devil is more than just a vehicle for violence. However, even though this non-violent existence is present is the play, it can be claimed that the sheer volume of murders is paramount to a piece that is obsessed with imaginative murders. The simple fact that seven murders occur throughout the play is an obvious suggestion that Webster did in fact write the play as a means to demonstrate his murderously imaginative mind. On the other hand, this argument falls apart when you more closely examine both the question and The White Devil.
But Capote's questioning of the relevance and righteousness of small-town values and priorities could be his own angry criticism of the world he himself inhabited: a false meritocracy in which his talents were inadequate unless accompanied by a biting, unrelenting charm. Capote depicts the hypocrisy of Smith and Hickock's trial and execution with similar precision; murder by an individual was illegitimate, but murder by the state was an accepted, even necessary means of satisfying a sense of reckoning and restoring order. Once they had fallen off the generic, automated mechanism of upward mobility toward the American dream, the barriers to re-entry were too high to scale again, and, Capote implies, not interesting to Smith and Hickock. Perry Smith is in many ways the central character of the book. He confesses to killing all four members of the Clutter family, a fact he later denies and then reiterates.
Unethical and Illegal” which should cause the recall, disbarment and the dismal of the judge for such corrupt and violated acts of the law as well as the violation of the rights of the people involved with his court. 3. Taken together, would these actions warrant the judge’s being disciplined? Would it warrant the judge’s removal from office? Why and or Why not?
Cultural, generational and religious bias prevent us from crediting our ancestors or other countries with effective crime-control techniques. Scholars are biased against ideas other than their own. Criminology has its own research bias. Most prison reform advocates are biased by their own political beliefs. Many want the problem to be placed on the shoulders of racially and financially motivated oppressors.
Exposure to violence can breed violence even in those who oppose it. In the story, Lord of the Flies that is exactly what happens to the characters. Ralph loses his composure, Jack turns into a blood crazed savage and Ralph becomes part of the demented hunters. The aggressive atmosphere that thrives on that heinous island conquered the good character of the boys. Jack was the first of the boys to show signs of aggression, then it turned on his hunters, and then it took control of Ralph.
Many societies face racial discrimination, but it is only those who are willing to stand up for what they believe in that can really change how things progress. In this case, Gandhi’s revolt is a virtue due to the fact that he is standing up for a greater cause by opposing a racial system that brings pain to the everyday lives of Indians. As Gandhi is burning peoples’ passes, a fellow officer beats him cruelly with a stick without fighting back. Gandhi expresses his ideals on the issues associated with the racial discrimination demonstrated by burning Indians’ border passes through nonviolent methods. By doing so, he is brutally beaten for stating his own opinion, which by law he
In civil cases, we increasingly see the phenomenon of the Robin Hood jury awarding runaway damages based upon emotion and a misguided understanding of the law. In criminal cases, juries have a disturbing tendency to accept preposterous theories advanced by defense counsel and sometimes by overzealous prosecutors. The problem is that juries no longer represent a true cross-section of the community. Exclusion of certain groups from jury
This has introduced a whole new form of inhuman cruelty and society should wholeheartedly disagree with this type of treatment of human beings. First, Jacoby mistakenly presumes that flogging can keep juvenile delinquents’ from taking up a life as a career criminal if he was publicly horse-whipped. This is really a pathetic analysis. There are statics showing that gangs initiate new members to painful and humiliating beatings by older gang members. If flogging would come back in this century and be legalized like Jacoby presume it should be it would open the door for more violence and humiliation by anyone and everyone and most
