The document discusses the documentary Bowling for Columbine and its examination of the causes of gun violence in America. It explores how the media drives fear and discrimination in American culture. The film questions who is responsible for gun violence and concludes it is not due to gun ownership but the exploitation of violence through the media and government. Fear is intensified by the media and controlled by the government to manipulate society. While gun ownership is a constitutional right, gun control policy remains controversial as it debates this right versus preventing crime.Reaction Paper 2

This document discusses intimate partner violence (IPV) as a global issue that disproportionately affects women. It argues that patriarchal ideology and societal gender roles contribute to the normalization and lack of attention given to IPV. The author examines how patriarchy influences legal systems and proceedings related to IPV, often resulting in the blaming of female victims. The document concludes that addressing the root causes of male entitlement and control, rather than focusing blame on female victims, is needed to properly address the issue of IPV.America: In Search of Justice

The document outlines several arguments against the death penalty, including:
1) Innocent people have been executed and there is no way to remedy this once carried out. Research shows 1 in 7 on death row in the US are later found innocent.
2) The death penalty system is fraught with errors and flaws that could lead to innocent lives being taken by the state.
3) It is more expensive than life in prison, costing around $2 million per execution on average versus $500,000 for life in prison.
4) Poor defendants are more likely to receive the death penalty due to receiving inadequate legal defense from overworked public defenders.Anti death penalty

The document outlines arguments against the death penalty. It argues that the death penalty is problematic because innocent people have been wrongly executed and there is no way to remedy it if new evidence is later found. It also claims that execution methods are cruel and inhumane, and that the death penalty process is more expensive than life imprisonment.Untitled document

On June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen killed 49 people and injured 53 in a mass shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Before opening fire in the club, which was holding a Latin night event and was popular with the LGBT community, Mateen swore allegiance to ISIS. It was one of the deadliest attacks in U.S. history after 9/11. The shooting sparked debates around gun control and national security, with Democrats supporting stronger gun laws and Republicans favoring increased vetting of immigrants and refugees. The attack caused discrimination against Muslims and debates about balancing national security with civil liberties.Hate Crimes On Campus

This document discusses hate crimes on college campuses and the challenges around balancing free speech rights with preventing hate speech. It provides examples of recent hate crimes like racist videos and threats targeted at students' race, gender or sexuality. While public universities must protect free speech, private schools can restrict speech through codes but these are often unconstitutional. The document recommends anti-bias education, free speech areas, and administrative leadership to thoughtfully address issues of hate rather than emotional shouting matches.phaper

The document discusses the four types of homicide: excusable, felonious, justifiable, and praiseworthy. Excusable homicide involves killing with legal authorization from authorities, such as for law enforcement. Felonious homicide is intentional killing without legal justification, like murder. Justifiable homicide includes cases of self-defense or accidental death. Praiseworthy homicide is when a group approves of a killing, such as of a hated leader. In conclusion, the document outlines the four "supreme dictators of the crime world" or categories of homicide.Arg essay texts

After putting a box of old poetry manuscripts in the trash, a professor was reported to police by a student as a "Middle Eastern man" acting suspiciously. This led to an evacuation of campus buildings and cancellation of classes as the bomb squad investigated. It was revealed to be just recycling. However, the incident showed how an innocent action by a person of color can be viewed as a threat due to a culture of fear and profiling. While the university denied the report was racially motivated, the professor was deeply troubled by the profiling and atmosphere of suspicion it revealed.Rape culture

The document discusses the death penalty and provides information about its history, costs, deterrent effects, and alternative uses of funds. It summarizes that:
1) The death penalty started in colonial times and methods of execution included hanging, beheading, and stoning.
2) Death penalty trials and appeals processes make the death penalty significantly more expensive than life in prison without parole.
3) Most experts say that there is no evidence the death penalty deters murder more effectively than other punishments like life in prison.Made in america terrorist

It argues that easy access to guns, radicalization on the internet, and anti-government sentiments have contributed to homegrown terrorism.

Rape culture is defined as an environment where rape is prevalent and normalized through media and popular culture. It is perpetuated by misogynistic language and objectification of women, as well as by trivializing sexual assault. Victim blaming is a key aspect of rape culture, where victims are held partially or fully responsible for crimes committed against them. The lenient six-month sentence given to Brock Turner for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman sparked national outrage and showed why many victims choose not to report assaults. Rape culture also affects men, though this has been overlooked. Ending rape culture requires addressing its root causes such as toxic definitions of masculinity and not tolerating rape jokes.Lam_Presentation

This document discusses rape culture and its implications for counselling. It defines rape culture as a society that encourages sexual violence and sees it as normal. Some key points:
- 1 in 4 women will be raped in their lifetime. Most victims are female while most perpetrators are male. Very few sexual assaults are reported.
- The Stanford rape case shows elements of rape culture through victim blaming statements and the lenient sentence.
- Rape myths minimize sexual violence and blame victims. Counsellors must understand how to help both victims and perpetrators while challenging the normalization of sexual violence.
- Studies on rape myth acceptance can help evaluate rape culture's influence but it is deeply ingrained in society acrossHillaryclintonvsdonaldtrumpempoweredpres 160130042256

This document summarizes a paper that examines police brutality against African Americans. It discusses several cases of unarmed black men being killed by police and finds that police are more likely to use force against black men. It argues that implicit racial bias permeates the criminal justice system and causes disproportionate policing and incarceration of African Americans. Statistics show black people are more often stopped and arrested for minor crimes. The document traces these issues back to slavery and Jim Crow laws and argues systemic racism remains deeply entrenched in the criminal justice system.Rape Victims Are A Class Of Persons Often Defined By Gender Medical ...

Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. One out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. Only one in 50 women who have been raped reports the crime to the police.
Although both women and men may be victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, women are the victims of the vast majority of these crimes. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than 85% of violent victimizations by intimate partners between 1993 and 1998 were perpetrated against women. Women are between 13 and 14 times more likely than men to be raped or sexually assaulted; for instance, in 1994, 93% of sexual assaults were perpetrated against women. Four of five stalking victims are women. Data on male victimization do not show that males experience comparable victimizations and injury levels, do not account for women who act in self defense, and do not measure financial control, intimidation, and isolation used by perpetrators of domestic violence against women.
The gender issue is foremost in sexual assault issues, and is usually background in general victimization. The unique cultural bias and shaming that accompanies rape cases needs its own focused opposition. The history of rape law is a history of the law used as a tool to protect rapists, rather than the raped. The anti-rape movement confronts, as it must, the cultural myths that uniquely exist in the context of rape. Manipulation of these myths, along with humiliation and victim blaming, are typical informal defenses to rape charges. Blaming victims in rape cases may be an effective means to secure acquittal. In contrast, blaming a robbery victim is typically ineffective because robbery is unaccompanied by the same pernicious cultural myths. The nature of stigma and abuse in rape cases is profound and unique, a criminal process that mistreats and excludes other types of victims also inflicts secondary victimization.
In 2002, there were 247,730 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault. One out of every six American women have been the victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime (14.8% completed rape; 2.8% attempted rape). A total of 17.7 million women have been victims of these crimes. In 2002, one in every eight rape victims were male. 93% of juvenile sexual assault victims knew their attacker; 34.2% were family members and 58.7% acquaintances. Only seven percent of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim.
One of the most startling aspects of sex crimes is how many go unreported. The most common reasons given by victims for not reporting these crimes are the belief that it is a private or personal matter and that they fear reprisal from the assailant.
In 2001, only 39% of rapes and sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement officials about one in every three. [1999 NCVS]
Approximately 66% of rape victims know their assailant.
Approximately 48% of victims are raped by a friend or acquaintance; 30% by a stranger; 16% by an intimate; 2% by another relative; and in 4% of cases the relationship is unknown.
About four out of ten sexual assaults take place at the victims own home. More than half of all rape/sexual assault incidents were reported by victims to have occurred within one mile of their home or at their home.
In one study, 98% of males who raped boys reported that they were heterosexual.
Rapists are more likely to be serial criminals than serial rapists. In one study, 46% of rapists who were released from prison were rearrested within 3 years of their release for another crime -- 18.6% for a violent offense, 14.8% for a property offense, 11.2% for a drug offense and 20.5% for a public-order offense.
61% of rapes/sexual assaults are not reported to the police. Those rapists, of course, never serve a day in prison.

Anti Death Penalty Arguments provide three main reasons against capital punishment. First, innocent people have been executed and there is no way to remedy this once carried out. Research shows 1 in 7 on death row in the US have been found innocent. Second, the death penalty costs significantly more than life in prison due to legal costs and appeals process. It also does not effectively deter crime. Third, the system is applied arbitrarily and is often discriminatory towards the poor and marginalized who cannot afford proper legal defense.Wrongful_Convections[1]![Wrongful_Convections[1]](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/87d6cb48-58af-4ef4-99fd-aaeeebcc1dd9-150925133711-lva1-app6891-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

It examines eyewitness misidentification, false confessions due to interrogation pressures, and prosecutorial misconduct as leading causes. It presents the case of Kirk Bloodsworth, the first death row exoneree based on DNA evidence, who served 9 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. On average, exonerees spend 14 years in prison and are 26 years old at the time of their wrongful conviction.

The document discusses a terrorist attack in New York City where two police officers were shot and killed. It summarizes that the shooter, Ismail Abdullah Brinsley, approached the officers' patrol car and shot them multiple times in the head and chest with a handgun. Brinsley then fled the scene but later committed suicide. The shooting appeared to be in response to other police-related deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. The incident caused protests against the NYPD and heightened tensions. The document argues that addressing root causes of such incidents is important to prevent future violence, and calls for understanding without personal hatred or aggression.Presidential Presentation Power

Effective leaders are believed to inspire followers by providing inclusive visions of the future that followers can identify with. In the present study, we examined the neural mechanisms underlying this process, testing key hypotheses derived from transformational and social identity approaches to leadership. While undergoing functional MRI, supporters from the two major Australian political parties (Liberal vs. Labor) were presented with inspirational collective-oriented and noninspirational personal-oriented statements made by in-group and out-group leaders. Imaging data revealed that inspirational (rather than noninspirational) statements from in-group leaders were associated with increased activation in the bilateral rostral inferior parietal lobule, pars opercularis, and posterior midcingulate cortex: brain areas that are typically implicated in controlling semantic information processing. In contrast, for out-group leaders, greater activation in these areas was associated with noninspirational statements. In addition, noninspirational statements by in-group (but not out-group) leaders resulted in increased activation in the medial prefrontal cortex, an area typically associated with reasoningMy story so far

Economic theory seeks to explain economic facts from the behavior of individuals. In this paper, it is argued that the type of individualism methodology (IM), the economic profession should consider, is an institutional IM which includes a structural one as a special case. It follows that the mechanism leading to individual behavior can be decomposed into a social mechanism and a decision mechanism. Moreover, economic theory and game theory have generally made too restrictive assumptions concerning interactions structures. It is argued that agent-based modeling may be a useful approach for understanding processes combining heterogeneous and situated decision rules, feed-back effects and non trivial interaction structures leading to complex systems and emergent properties.

This document discusses arguments for and against the death penalty. It argues that the death penalty should not be legal because it does not effectively deter crime, it is very costly, mistakes could result in innocent people being executed, and it is unconstitutional as it contradicts several amendments like the 8th amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. While advocates claim it deters crime, studies have found no evidence that capital punishment reduces murder rates. It also discusses how the lengthy appeals process is very expensive for taxpayers. Overall, the document makes the case that the death penalty should be abolished.Crime Waves, Fears, and Social RealityThe American criminal just.docx

Crime Waves, Fears, and Social Reality
The American criminal justice system is a mirror that shows a distorted image of the dangers that threaten usan image created more by the shape of the mirror than by the reality reflected.
Jeffrey Reiman and Paul Leighton
For decades, polls have found that people in the United States are wor- ried about crime. A Gallup poll found that people worried their credit card information would be stolen by hackers (69%), their homes would be bur- glarized when they were not there (45%), their car would be stolen (42%), their child would be physically harmed while attending school (31%), they would be mugged on the streets (31%), their home would be burglarized when they were there (30%), they would be victims of terrorism (28%), they would be attacked while driving their car (20%), they would be murdered (18%), they would be the victim of a hate crime (18%), they would be sexu- ally assaulted (18%), or they would be assaulted/killed at work (7%) (Riffkin, 2014). The learning process for these fears is complex, but one contributing factor is the dissemination of crime statistics by the media and the govern- ment. (Recall our discussion of the crime clock in the first chapter.) How reli- able and valid are these statistics? Does the publics perception of crime reflect the reality of crime?
The number of people who fear crime is substantial. Perceptions about individuals who engage in criminal behavior are even more revealing. Jef- frey Reiman and Paul Leighton (2017) describe the stereotyped image:
Think of a crime, any crime. . . . What do you see? The odds are you are not imagining an oil company executive sitting at his desk, calculating the costs of proper safety precautions and deciding not to invest in them. Prob
ably what you see with your minds eye is one person attacking another physically or robbing something from another via the threat of physical attack. Look more closely.

Title:
How FBI's Dylann Roof gun snafu hurts Obama's gun control agenda.
Authors:
Patrik Jonsson Staff writer
President Obama pushed Americans to call for stricter gun controls in the wake of the June 17 Charleston church massacre, complaining that the admitted killer, Dylann Roof, "had no trouble getting his hands on a gun."
What the President likely didn't know when he made those comments is this: It wasn't a lack of gun controls, but a bureaucratic failure, that led to Roof obtaining the gun legally, due, it turns out, on a senior FBI document examiner's unfamiliarity with South Carolina geography.
As such, details revealed Friday in the Dylann Roof case add to the complexity of the President's earlier call for a "greater sense of urgency" on gun safety, as FBI Director James Comey said Friday that the agency "felt sick" about its role in the Charleston tragedy specifically, a failure to spot a drug charge that would have disqualified Roof from buying a gun on April 11.
According to Mr. Comey, a senior examiner started working on Roof's application on April 13, digging into the details of a drug arrest from earlier this year, which had the potential for disqualifying the application. But, being unfamiliar with South Carolina geography, she contacted the wrong law enforcement jurisdiction, which said it had no details on the arrest. A federal law allows the FBI three days to do a background check before either approving it or giving gun stores the discretion to sell the gun anyway.
By the end of that week, Roof had his murder weapon in hand.
For some commentators, the question now is whether a new focus on background checks and the FBI's admission that it flubbed Roof's application will affect public opinion over gun controls in an era where a recent government study found that the number of active shooter incidents rose from an average of 6.4 situations a year in 2007 to an average of 16.4 incidents in 2013.
The role of the government in preventing such tragedies is at the heart of the debate, which is deeply intertwined with America's long-running and complicated relationship with firearms ownership as guaranteed by the US Constitution.
At the same time, the "revving up of presidential campaigns for 2016 [have] increased the hostility" around the gun control debate, writes Aileen Graef for Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns 162 TV stations in the US.
After a comprehensive gun safety bill failed to pass Congress following the Sandy Hook school massacre in late 2012, support for new gun controls has waned. Polls show only 47 percent of Americans now favoring stricter gun controls. There's other evidence that the US public has little appetite for new gun strictures. After all, 90 percent of NRA-backed candidates won their races in Election 2014.
And while the Charleston massacre forced South Carolina to reconsider its sanctioning of the Confederate battle flag, which Roof had posed with in photos and which t ...Jones 1Jones 7Kyle JonesMatthew ZimmermanEnglish 10222 N.docx

In 2014, we live in a world with a media saturated culture. This is the era of digital news services, of 24-hour news channels, free newspapers, and even media based applications. For the majority of us, the way in which we learn about the world outside our personal perception is through the consumption of news, mainly still through broadcast or print (OFCOM 2007). Various forms of media has fed the public statistics that created a sense of stereotyping for each particular race. For example, the media and those on film, such as politics and leaders of the government, link together race and crime, which conveys a criminal image of the publics consumption (St. John & Heald-Moore, 1995). Since race and crime are tied together, when one thinks of a crime, hears about a crime, or when crime is being reported, race is usually associated with it. In the American society, a frequent representation of crime is that it is majorly committed by African- Americans. The view of African Americans has been distorted and twisted by the media. Without question, almost everything that is being covered by the media is believed by most of society and it becomes their actual perceptual reality. Broadcast media and other various forms of media has a history for portraying African Americans in a biased manner, as if they were mostly reported involved in crime, drugs, or acts of violence. This has led to many cases of stereotyping, racial profiling, police brutality, prejudice, inhumane acts and has brain washed most of our society into believing that almost every African American is mischievous or a threat to their well-being. African Americans are unjustly, as well as unrealistically depicted on broadcast news and various other types of mass media. These negative connotations affects more than just African- Americans but also every other culture that exists in America.
African Americans have been associated with crime for quite some time. It was not until some in the 1970s and early 1980s that the popular stereotype of the young black man evolved in the eyes of many from a petty thief or rapist into the notorious , malicious criminal predators, or what Kathery Russel ( 2002) has argued, is the world recognized criminalblackman. Within the last few decades there have been controversial law enforcement practices of racial profiling. Law enforcement officials pursue minorities in an attempt to increase the likely hood of catching illegal activity or the predetermined act of illegal activity, which is part of a consequence from the racial profiling that the media has inflicted upon society. The questionable practices has led to negative effects on blacks. To the African American culture law officials are deemed more criminal or more of a threat than what the media and statistics has condemned blacks to be.

Chapter 1 Juvenile Justice: Myths and RealitiesMyths and Realities
Its only me. These were the tragic words spoken by Charles Andy Williams as the San Diego Sheriffs Department SWAT team closed in
on the frail high school sophomore who had just turned 15 years old. Williams had just shot a number of his classmates at Santana High
School, killing two and wounding 13. This was another in a series of school shootings that shocked the nation; however, the young Mr.
Williams did not fit the stereotype of the superpredator that has had an undue influence on juvenile justice policy for decades. There have
been other very high-profile cases involving children and teens that have generated a vigorous international debate on needed changes in the
system of justice as applied to young people.
In Birmingham, Alabama, an 8-year-old boy was charged with viciously attacking a toddler, Kelci Lewis, and murdering her (Binder, 2015).
The law enforcement officials announced their intent to prosecute the boy as an adult. The accused perpetrator would be among the youngest
criminal court victims in U.S. history. The 8-year-old became angry and violent, and beat the toddler because she would not stop crying. Kelci
suffered severe head trauma and injuries to major internal organs. The victims mother, Katerra Lewis, left the two children alone so that she
could attend a local nightclub. There were six other children under the age of 8 also left alone in the house. Within days, the mother was
arrested and charged with manslaughter and released on a $15,000 bond after being in custody for less than 90 minutes. The 8-year-old was
held by the Alabama Department of Human Services pending his adjudication.
A very disturbing video showed a Richland County, South Carolina, deputy sheriff grab a 16-year-old African American teen by her hair,
flipping her out her chair and tossing her across the classroom. The officer wrapped his forearm around her neck and then handcuffed her. It is
alleged that the teen refused to surrender her phone to the deputy. She received multiple injuries from the encounter. The classroom teacher and
a vice principal said that they believed the police response was appropriate. The deputy was suspended and subsequently fired after the
Richland County Sheriff reviewed the video. There is a civil suit against the school district and the sheriffs department for the injuries that
were sustained (Strehike, 2015).
One of the highest profile cases involving juvenile offenders was known as the New York Central Park jogger case (Burns, 2011; Gray, 2013).
In 1989 a young female investment banker was raped, attacked, and left in a coma. The horrendous crime captured worldwide attention.
Initially, 11 young people were arrested and five confessed to the crimes. These five juvenile males, four African American and one Latino,
were convicted for a range of crimes including assault, robbery, rape, and attempted murder. There were two separate jury t ...Race Relations in the United States.docx

While the US has made progress on racial justice through events like the Civil War and Obama's presidency, recent incidents show race relations have deteriorated. Police violence against African Americans, such as the killing of George Floyd, reveals systemic discrimination. President Trump has ignored these issues and called for force against protesters. The justice system has also failed to properly punish racial crimes, demonstrating an urgent need for accountability and actions to ensure civil liberties for all Americans.Crime News, Criminal Investigations, Lawsuits

Raynette Turner's death in a "cage" -- commonly called a "cell," or a "detention facility," or a "holding place," to mask the grim reality -- is symbolic of the massive deprivation of human liberty that our society inflicts on other humans, and which may be the most serious pathology of our legal system, and one that continues to get worse. It is atthis point in the evolution of our culture that we need to find what the political parties and media have worked so doggedly to hide from us, our common ground. We agree more than we think we do, and there is too much at stake to give up and walk away.
