The original issue was the protection of national security, which was compromised during the 9-11 attacks. To counteract those attacks, the Bush administration declared war on terrorism and built Guantanamo Bay Prison in Cuba. This prison was designed to hold the worst of the worst. Along with AUMF, Congress passed another act called the Military Commissions Act, in 2006, stripping all military courts of the right to hear Habeas Corpus, which was later repealed under the Obama administration in
Just eight incidents were reported to the NHS. Report author and independent regulator Dr Margaret Flynn said the true figure was much higher. Four people were arrested after BBC Panorama revealed a pattern of serious abuse at the Winterbourne View private hospital near Bristol.

More than half of America’s youth are drug users. Drug War Facts stated that more that 102 million Americans have tried marijuana; 15.2 million Americans are estimated to be “past-month” users. Yet there are only an estimated 1,855,000 “past –month” users of cocaine and 213,000 “past-month” users of heroin. With that said, I came home to find my sons friend in our house without permission rambling through our kitchen drawers. He was under the influence of marijuana and looked at me with a surprise face, stating that he needed to write a note to my son.
Specifically, 10 percent of the private prison inmates were rearrested in the 12 months following release versus 19 percent of government prison inmates.

Less than 25 percent of the average daily population of sentenced offenders is incarcerated; the majority are supervised in the community. For the past 20 years, Connecticut's prisons have operated at or over capacity despite the addition of thousands of new beds since 1990 and a steady 10-year decrease in crime and arrest rates. Department of Correction lacks both a sufficient number of beds to house total inmate population and an adequate system of high security beds to manage high-risk population. Correctional system is hampered by inaccurate population projections and lack of a needs analysis of total offender population, but in particular of the inmate population. The number of inmates released early from prison to community supervision or parole has dramatically decreased.
Labor trafficking accounted for 12 percent of incidents, and other or unknown forms of human trafficking made up the remaining five percent; about a third of these incidents involved sex trafficking of children (January 2009). A shocking 92 percent of women involved in sex trafficking activities used drugs and alcohol to cope with their experiences and a half of those women didn’t use drugs or alcohol until they entered the sex industry (Raymond and Hughes, 12). 43 percent of U.S. women tried to leave the sex industry, but 27 percent of those women said that it was hard to leave because of drug addictions, economic necessity, and pimps that beat or threatened them and their
Scholars Mears, Cochran, Siennick and Bales will discuss implications of the findings for research and policy in this article. America has entered what many scholars have described as an era of mass incarceration in recent decades. (Clear, 2007; Garland 2001; Gottschalk, 2006; Rosenfeld & Messner, 2010). It is estimated that over 1.6 million individuals are in America's state and federal prisons (West 2010) and perhaps over 735,000 are released back into society annually. (Sabol, West & Cooper, 2009).
Decrease in Juvenile Crime In 2001, according to the FBI, juveniles accounted for 17% of all arrests and 15% of all violent crime arrests (Snyder, 2003). In the late 1980s, juvenile violent crime arrest had a substantial growth then peaked in 1994. However, between 1994 and 2001, the juvenile arrest rate for Violent Crime Index fell 44% and as a result, the juvenile Violent Crime Index arrest rate was the lowest since 1983 (Snyder, 2003). Furthermore, in 2001, the rate of juvenile arrests for Violent Crime Index offenses that included forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault and murder declined for the seventh consecutive year. The juvenile arrest rate for each of these offenses has been declining steadily since the mid-1990s; for murder, the rate fell 70% and manslaughter arrest rate fell 40% from its 1993 peak through 2001.
As stated in their study, on average a homosexual will have from 20 to 106 partners a year. A heterosexual person will have, on average, under 10 partners a year. In a study which asked about homosexuals and their sex lives, 43% admitted to having 500 or more partners in their lifetime; 28% admitted to having 1000 or more partners in their lifetime. As a result, many homosexuals have contracted different sexually transmitted diseases. According to the study, homosexuals account for 3.5% of gonorrhea cases, 60% of syphilis cases, and 17% of
Ana Engelbrecht English Professor Dr. Freedman Teen Rape Every two minutes, somewhere in the world, someone is sexually assaulted. Of these approximately 248,00 victims, about 87,000 were victims of complete rape, and 70,000 were victims of sexual assault. Up to 4,315 pregnancies may have resulted from there attacks.

For one reason or another, rapist are usually portrayed as a stranger, his motivation is entirely sexual, and the victim is always a young and sexy female.
