He is very experienced in criminal law and is against mandatory sentencing. This journal presents information that the mandatory sentencing policy in the U.S. is a failure. It argues that Legislators thought that they could “get tough on crime,” especially drug crime. I feel this source gives educated reasons as to why drug policy needs to be changed. It also backs up my other sources with the same research results; by removing the sentencing discretion of judges, and replacing it with mandatory jail sentences, we are sending more offenders to prison instead of programs designed to rehabilitate.
In the article it reports on the growing violence of drug gangs that are menacing the U.S. - Mexico border. Details of the violent acts of Heriberto Lazcano, how the Mexican government's efforts to stop such activity have failed, people employed by the largest drug cartels, incidents of murder and kidnappings, and the reaction of the president of Mexico Vincente Fox (TIME Magazine). Choosing this source was not hard; TIME has a reputation of reliable information; to withhold this reputation TIME Magazine does not put stories and headlines to spread gossip, rather use their magazine and writers to inform the nation of big events happening near or far away. There is no question that TIME Magazine is one of the most reliable and consistent magazines to read, for the magazines work to distribute story worthy new about past, present and future problems, in a serious and direct manor. The usability of the source for a college level course is the best bet to get information accurately, stray away from gossip and focus on the real issues at
However subcultural theorists developed this idea claiming that people experiencing strain seek different forms of success. More specifically Cloward and Ohlin put forward the idea of the 'illegitimate opportunity structure’, which they used to explain subcultural crime. This structure was operable outside of the mainstream structure and ultimately lead to the attainment of success and money through deviant means. For example, Cloward and Ohlin argued that organized crimes such as the drugs trade could be explained by failures in mainstream capitalism. Cloward and Ohlin argue, that the majority of criminals involved in the drugs trade were unable to succeed within capitalism and were driven to an illegitimate means of obtaining wealth.
Mexican cartels don’t just hurt Mexico. They hurt the United States, Canada, Europe, and Africa. We need to help Mexico stop the cartels. When the cartels bring drugs to our country, more and more people become addicted. Cartels are the suppliers of drugs to gangs in and out of prison.
Some emerge within the system, and some emerge due to the laws the systems created. Al Capone created his deviant subculture due to the prohibition of alcohol-(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone) He created his own mob that’s own lifeblood relies on the selling of alcohol illegally. Capone had power, but not the same kind of protection that corporate power guarantees. He was well protected due to the use of mob related violence. When he was brought to justice by Elliot Ness the punishment was similar to a bottom of the barrel criminal.
He was against the Mexican War declared by American Government, as it was unjust to colonize other nations (United States itself was separated from British colonization through revolution). For this misdeed, he was imprisoned for a night. Although the crimes and the length of imprisonment of Thoreau and King were not same, both shared the same motive. Jacobus has pointed out that both Thoreau and King were willing to suffer for their views, especially with punitive laws denying civil rights to all citizens (King, 211). Socrates, a great philosopher in human history, also had followed the same path of breaking unjust laws.
Paul. S (2011) pg 23. How can we win a war on drugs when the officials are corrupt and helping the same criminals we are so desperately trying to stop. In order to stop drug trafficking the United States needs to join forces with Mexico to help re build and reform law enforcement to protect the borders. Violence is increasingly directed toward the government.
While these differences shape the essays’ handling of development and detail, the authors’ main ideas are contradictory. For Alexander and Shaler, social dislocation causes drug addiction, and while for Gardner drug trade creates gang-related homicide. Alexander and Shaler’s perspective on free-market society shapes their essay. The writing has a systematic argument and clear thesis. Causal analysis and the detail it provides produce strong historical relationship between dislocation and addiction, especially in England in the 1500s.
