The Massacres were fueled by fear of the invasion from Prussia, food shortages and radical propaganda. About 150 people broke into jails, attacked and killed prisoners because they feared the prisoners would aid in Prussia’s invasion
The "three strikes" laws have filled up the nation's jails with people guilty of relatively minor offenses, causing overcrowding and frustration. In addition, the vigilante mood that overtook the country on 9/11 has led
A few things that I think are unjust in the book were Tom Robinson’s trial and the teachers. Some things that are just in my eyes but were not legal was when Boo Radley killed Mr. Ewell, it was just because he saved Jem and Scout’s lives, but unjust because he did not abide by the legal system. First, Tom’s Robinson’s trial was completely unjust. Tom Robinson was falsely convicted of rape. He was wrongfully convicted by an all-white jury, which at that time, racism was the norm.
These were army and police men and were sent to fight the IRA and reduce the chances of the civilians of Ireland retaliating. It was evident that he may have not made the right decision by sending in the Black and Tans as they were a brutal force who used severe violence against the people, ‘murder for murder’ was their policy. This overall shows an unsuccessful attempt from David Lloyd George and the British Government in dealing with the Irish question as it was later shown that the small war had left 750 dead and over 850 wounded. Despite this failure, David Lloyd George soon realised that the tactic of using violence was not bringing him success and he soon knew that his only choice was to enforce peace. Not only did the British people not want many thousands of men going to war with the Irish, the press and the USA were horrified by the situation and it was giving Britain and DLG a bad name.
These jails in 1166 were horrible places to be detained. The gaols were filthy ,served poor food, had little medical care, and they were extremely violent. The conditions of these gaols came to the attention of John Howard, the sheriff of Bedfordshire in 1773. John Howard felt directed to change the unsatisfactory conditions of the jails. John Howard drafted the Penitentiary Act of 1779 with the assistance of the English House of Commons.
People who expressed negative thoughts about Peter's decisions were often executed before they had a chance to gain followers and rebel against the Tsar. The Streltsy, bushy musketeers and pike men, Russia's first professional soldiers, were often found at the receiving end of harsh sentences[6]. Peter the Great was bad in that he was very cruel to the people of Russia. He heavily taxed everyone, so the serfs had to pay taxes for themselves and their owners. In
In today’s society there are many people who have forgotten about the chivalry codes and dishonor the values we had by doing harm onto others, that’s why for the first code to be brought back should be “Destroy evil in all of it’s monstrous forms”. Evil can be in many forms of actions that people do throughout society. For example, Scams, Abducting people for ransom, setting people’s houses on fire, the list can go on. This can be stopped by giving harsher punishments to those who deserve it. You may say a harsher punishment won’t do any good, but allowing them to be in prison for a longer period of
Jails were used to hold those awaiting trial or those who had been convicted and were waiting for their corporal or capital punishment to be carried out. These jails were in horrible condition and poor men, women, and children all lived together in filth, with little food or sanitary conditions. The fee system was an early bail system that was used by the rich; it prevented them from going to jail. During the 1700s John Howard, an English reformer made many changes to the way jails were operated. As a result of his efforts, the Penitentiary Act was passed in 1779.
Gypsies in Poland were the first to suffer. Soon the annihilation spread. The Gestapo haunted them down like animals, they wanted to eliminate the Gypsies. Most of the captives were taken to Auschwitz, Birkenau to be more precise. Many Roma didn’t even made it to the camps.
With Joan as the leader, the army was inspired again. Before her, they had only attempted one attack and lost badly during the siege of Orleans. The French army attacked and captured Saint Loup on May 4th and then in a bloodless battle, captured Saint Jean le Blanc on May 5th. Joan wanted another attack at Orleans but the English thought that if they locked the gates of the city that they could prevent Joan from attacking; but they were wrong. She got soldiers and townsmen to help her and forced the mayor to unlock a gate.
