Crime Theses Samples For Students

Anybody who has read or watched The Game of Thrones: A Song of Ice & Fire Series –would agree with me that it is a series that shows every facet of deception used by humans.
According to Merriam-Webster, the word “deceive” means, “to make someone believe something that is not true” or “to cause to accept true or valid what is false or invalid.”
Deception is a form of dishonesty that is used everyone, every day. And the characters in this book are able to show how it is done so to achieve what one wants; whether it is something ...

Introduction

Organized crime has been a matter of major concern in the United States of America for a long period. Attempts to get rid of this social ill have not been fruitful. Mallory defines organized crime as an activity that is not allowed in the society and deal with illegal substances, and services such as drugs, gambling and stealing (Mallory 2007). Given this explanation, organized crime can be seen as a social institution that is socially disorganized. Organized crime has deemed to be problematic to eliminate from the society, despite the several attempts by the government to curb it. However, there is still ...

Day by day, our life spectrum is widening, and new technologies are introduced. Computers remain a crucial part in our lives as they are present in all aspects that we encounter. Countless individuals use a computer before the day ends to perform multiple functions. Surprisingly, not many people understand how a computer works, or even think about the changes introduced by the devices. Computer technology is associated with a constant changing nature, and this makes it hard to establish ethics and moral codes to govern the use of computers in people’s life. The American Heritage Dictionary defines ethics as "The rules or ...

The poor have always had to struggle throughout the generations. Often marginalized, the poor are whittled-down to a statistic. The poor represent different things to different people. Poor women, in particular, often find themselves with limited incomes, single parent responsibilities, low employment levels, and a need to receive aid from state and county welfare programs. This general aid includes government provided medical care. However, with the passage of recent healthcare policies, the types of therapies and treatments offered to and made available to poor women is changing. Women’s health issues, concerns, and conditions often find themselves open to ...

Introduction

Crime has been an ever-present feature in the society. Every society has had some deviant individuals who have chosen to engage in this behavior. Throughout the years, the society has come up with various measures that punish those who engage in criminal behavior. The punitive measures have become progressively severe with the hope that criminals who witness the massive punishment that awaits them should they be involved in criminal activities will be deterred from committing crime. The presence of strict and severe punitive measures has to a significantly helped in the deterrence of criminal activities in the society. However, in ...

Socrates is popular for his shifting thoughts on Greek philosophical ideas about the nature of the universe. Philosophers before Socrates’ time also examined of the problems associated with human life. Nonetheless, Socrates was the first philosopher to analyze ethics as a science. In addition, Socrates looked at the principles of human life from a methodical and consistent perspective. Many critics note that Socrates influenced the expansion of Western philosophy and culture in many ways. In fact, a number of critics believe that Socrates was instrumental in his teachings and such thoughts impacted on the development of Christianity. Arguably, Socrates wrote nothing and ...

Juvenile defendants are getting processed in a system that is not geared to deal appropriately with them. Focusing on punishment rather than rehabilitation for juvenile offenders, we put them into a system that is treating children in a manner that is fundamentally unfair. When a young person commits a serious crime, the criminal justice system seems ill-equipped to properly handle the situation. There are numerous problems with the adult court system as it pertains to trying juvenile defendants. Our system of justice doesn’t seem to have been made to handle juveniles who commit serious crimes. The blanket solution seems to be to treat ...

With the media ever focused on shootings throughout the USA, which only seems to add to the fire that is the gun control debate. Shooting and even Mass shootings tear at the emotions of the populace, and the heat is on for someone to do something. The gun control debate is not new; however, many people are demanding action. Proponents of both sides of the argument tend to bring non-facts to the debate in order to persuade people to listen to their argument. Besides, the actual implication of the effectiveness of the gun control is still controversial. The American ...

Community policing

The police protect people and enforce laws. However, nowadays, in some communities, police officers do not consider protecting people to be the main task of their job. Instead, they abuse people, especially those with different skin color or religious views. Moreover, some of the police officers use their job to take bribes. In recent years, there have been several cases of such police officers’ misconduct. This thesis is aimed at examining whether community policing leads to less abuse police authority or not. The paper will be divided into two parts. The first part will be devoted to the issue ...

Introduction and Background

Many organizations that try to change their ways of conducting their operations often fail to meet their targets for different reasons. Mental perception of the people involved in operationalizing the transformation efforts is the biggest contributor of the success or failure of these endeavors. The police force is one of the most important institutions in Singapore. Like all societies in the world, law and order is an integral part for any progressive society. Singapore is not an exception. Singapore seeks to spur its economic heights and make life better for its citizens. Unfortunately, the Singapore Police force, which is ...

It is the application of physical force inflicting pain but not necessarily causing any wounds as a means of discipline. There has to be a certain degree of pain for the punishment to be classified as corporal. The corporal punishment is an effective method of correcting a child’s behavior. It stands out as the best technique to bring up young children in terms of their characters and behaviors.

Everything we do has a limit. Limits are put to define the extent to which we can do certain things or even the extent to which we can move from a particular point. Boundaries are physical barriers which separate different areas. They are usually in the form of walls, roads, paths and so on. Therefore, maritime boundaries and limits are connected with the ownership of valuable resources and coastal state jurisdiction over foreign shipping. Inaccuracies and uncertainties over such sensitive issues are best avoided. There are numerous international disputes over limits and boundaries, some of which could endanger peace and security. ...

Women are always prey to men when they go out at night alone since they are vulnerable and this means that they have to take steps to protect themselves since this is a huge problem in every way. Young women who are scantily clad and make themselves up are prime targets for men who are ready to take advantage of their situation accordingly and who are constantly on the lookout for a quick sexual adventure. One must also be protected against burglaries and other robberies through an alarm system.
In his article, Ander Monson discussed the fear of leaving the ...

Security among public schools has been in the limelight for the past years and triggered growing concern of the safety of students at school. This was a result following numerous violent incidents in school in which some of them resulted to the death of students and school officials. This had resulted to growing concern of parents with school-aged children. Likewise, this has also brought increased alarm in the society. Public schools in particular have taken the first steps in accessing and improving security measures in their respective school are implementing. However, even if the schools reason for applying these measures ...

Monson discussed the fear of leaving the home when he wrote that “Do not go outside, on dates, or to the store, alone.” He discussed this phobia because he felt that a person is safer inside his or her house. But I think that it’s impossible to not leave the house. Everyone must leave home for some reason everyday and that main reason is to make a living for adults and to obtain an education for children and youth. The author wants to show that nobody should leave home because it’s a scary world outside and life is better lived ...

Bullying is a serious problem that many people experience nowadays. It can happen in school, at work, in supermarkets, at the park – everywhere. Regardless of where or how the act of bullying happens, the effects often cause psychological and emotional anguish to victims. Those who cannot cope with the situation opt to take their own lives just to escape the bullying. Typically, bullies behave dominantly towards others just to cover up their own personal shortcomings.
Bullies pick on individuals who appear to be weaker than them and those who do not seem capable of retaliating. For the bullies, the ...

Overcrowded jails filled with violent inmates. Prisons segregated by race. (deliberate fragment). The California prison system currently holds approximately 316,000 inmates across 33 state prisons and dozens of other facilities of varying levels of security (CDCR,gov, 2012). More than 30,000 of these inmates have life sentences. 93% of inmates are male, 7% female; 11.7% of the prison population of California are parole violators. Almost 39% of the prison population of California is Hispanic, 29% black, 27% white and 6% other (CDCR.gov, 2012).

Introduction:

This excellent book by Joseph Damato examines a murder which took place in the early 1980’s by father and son who were both farmers and who were on the brink of destitution with their farm abandoned and mortgaged off to the bankers who eventually met their end in a grisly murder. The murders took place in rural Minnesota, a land of superstition and loneliness where James and Steven Jenkins had to face ostracization from their peers for failing to perform on the farm.
D’Amato delves deep into the psychological problems of the father and son with the former having ...

The 2000 M. Night Shyamalan film Unbreakable tells the story of David Dunne (Bruce Willis), an ordinary man who begins a journey of self-discovery after he learns that he is the sole, unharmed survivor of a devastating train crash. According to Joseph Campbell, the hero's journey, or monomyth, tells the same fundamental story: "A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man" (Campbell. 23). This essay will ...

One of the risks that illegal migrants face when they illegally cross the border is that they risk being apprehended by the country they are migrating to. The border law enforcement agencies of the country they are migrating to will arrest the immigrants and probably depot them.

If the illegal immigrants are apprehended and/or deported, it will cost them time which could have been used to earn wages and salary. This time could have been used to work legally in their home country and in so doing could have earned them money; this comes out clearly if they are ...

Executive Summary

Recent news reports on racial minorities being shot and killed by the police, or by those taken into custody and are reported to have died while in that situation, pose a grim reminder that the relationship of law enforcement and the racial minorities in the United States have been one filled with tension and conflict, mistrust and suspicion, fear and force, and domination and struggle. This is not a civil rights position paper; rather, this is a research geared to proffer that the instance of encounters between racial minorities and the police have been generally characterized by conflict ...

Domestic Violence

“Domestic violence” can be defined as “the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and other systematic behavior [designed] to be part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another.” It is a contagion impacting people in every community regardless of social station in life, age, gender, racial background, nationality, or religious pursuit. This action is commonly followed by psychological abuse and extreme domineering dispositions against the other partner; however, this is only a fraction of the structured pattern designed to force and domination over the other. Ultimately, the action of domestic brutality can ...

Illegal Immigration: The Border Has Been Crossed

Illegal immigration is not only a growing trend in the United States of America but it is also a frequently discussed and debated topic through news sources, social media and through political campaigns. There are both sides of the debate, one which does not see the illegal immigration as being a downfall to the country and one that does. There are always different beliefs when it comes to any easily debated topic, and this is no different. Illegal immigration is a growing issue in the United States of America and it will most likely continue to grow, unless proper policies and restrictions are ...

Developing countries of the world today are facing unprecedented challenges in attaining sustainable development. Many developing countries are plagued by issues such as poverty, population growth, terrorism, dearth of qualified teaching staff, and territorial conflicts. To find a solution to this, many economists have devised various strategies both at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. Many people around the world will tell you that fossil fuel is Saudi Arabia’s greatest natural resource, but they are wrong because the children are the greatest resource. An excellent education of Saudi Arabian children is the key to ...

David Sinclair, the father of five-month-old Joshua, was sentenced to seven years and three months in jail. Originally the cause of the tot’s death was unidentified. The man stated that the baby simply turned blue and stopped breathing, that’s why he immediately dialed 999. The High Court in Glasgow that took jurisdiction soon discovered information. A team of medical experts found out that the man assaulted his baby son by shaking him and caused the injuries which killed him (Glanfield, 2016). Though Sinclair knew that he shook Joshua approximately five seconds, he disclosed that only after the ...

Sexual harassment has been a pathological problem that has affected many people in different workplaces across the globe. The root of sexual harassment is confirmed to emanate largely from power relations and cultural practices at the workplace. Due to its rampancy, many human rights activists and adherents have carried various researches to decipher the rationale behind the perpetuation of this inhumane practice. Sexual harassment has mostly affected women, a scenario that has attracted impassioned focus on the subject to understand the perennial propagation of the vice. Rationally, legal intervention has been viewed as a prudent manner to eliminate the vice but the ...

In Macbeth, ambition combines with evil forces to commit evil deeds which result in fear, apprehension, guilt and an escalating cycle of violent murders. Above all, Macbeth is a study of the psychology of two central characters (Macbeth and his wife) react as individuals and as a couple to the psychological trauma of their evil deeds. In the course of the action, Macbeth frequently misconstrues the guilt that he feels as simply being a question of fear. As a warrior, this self-delusion works because he thinks that he knows no fear and it leads directly to his response to his guilt and his ...

Non-Governmental Organizations or NGOs have become influential actors of societal development and change on a national as well as international scale. Beginning as non-governmental consultants to the United Nations, the number of NGOs across the world has witnessed exponential growth since the 1980s.

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novels can be perceived as significant and resilient records of the contemporary Puritan society, disclosing the social and religious order prevalent at that time. His novels portray the clash between the individual and moral values and virtues and social goodness and ethical codes. Laurence Sargent Hall says: “The moral problem to be found wherever the individual’s mal- adjustment to society culminates in sin furnished Hawthorne with his major tragic themes. In the main this problem is worked out through some resolution by the individual of his mal- adjustment, an expiation of sin, by coming to ...

Business Torts & Ethics

Standing alone, the intruder is liable for his or her actions. The intruder is liable for a number of crimes independent of the landowner’s liability. While the landowner may be held liable as well, the intruder is most definitely liable for his intentional torts committed against Darryl and Sharon. Simply because the intruder committed the torts on the landowner’s property does not excuse the intruder from personal liability. The intruder is potentially liable for a number of different torts.
The intruder can be charged with burglary. While burglary is a tort, not a crime, the intruder has ...

in the Debate Between Moral Relativism and Moral Absolutism
The issue of moral relativism versus moral absolutism is an important one in the history of moral philosophy. Benedicts argues that normality is “culturally defined” and argues that what we think of as right and wrong, good and evil, and moral and immoral varies from culture to culture” (qtd. in Rosenstand, p. 146). This view of moral relativism is that the standards of moral right and wrong are based on the moral code of each culture. On the other hand, Christina Hoff Sommers observes an opposite view that moral ...

The main aim of this study was to determine if there was a statistical significant difference in how men and women perceive the primary aggressor, the more likely to sustain injuries, the appropriate punishment and who is likely to suffer the greatest trauma in domestic violence. Furthermore, the study also examined if there was gender based difference in individual variables such as, primary aggressor, injuries sustained, form of punishment and greatest trauma suffered. To achieve this, the analysis was divided into four parts, that is, (1) descriptive statistics; aimed at providing information on the collected data. (2) Reliability and factor ...

The Civil Rights Movement in the American South gave rise to a number of amazingly intelligent African-American activists and speakers. One of those speakers was Malcolm X. Malcolm X was born into a family that was touched by racial violence, and as a result, he became one of the leaders at the forefront of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and onwards (X and Haley). Unlike some of the other leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, Malcolm X was unabashedly fierce on certain topics-- notably, Malcolm X frequently advocated the separation of the races, and occasionally even advocated the idea ...

Nixon supported employment equity by establishing federal contractors to meet affirmative action standards. Three decades later, 32 years after the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the California legislature passed a ban on affirmative action. The law had been initiated by California Proposition 209 which had been accepted in a popular vote. The ...

Introduction

American history is not marked by heavenly lifestyle, but it’s filled with violence and conflicts. One of the major issues that challenge America's democratic setup is their ethnic diversity. After the civil war, the ethnic divisions continued among people and this time the conflicts are based on immigrants. The tensions surrounding immigration peaked from 1875 to 1930 where the US governments during that period came up with so many legislations in swift response to these tensions. In this assignment, we would analyse the important events of immigration between 1875-1930 that caused major tensions and how the US governments ...

The tie between culture and art is profound and close as the two have a joint and beneficial relationship. Art can facilitate the exposure of culture through paintings, sculptures, drawings, and other masterpieces. For instance, contemporary art can serve as a channel of culture. In addition to that, culture is not a predetermined concept. It is evolving, continuous, and subject to change over time. Culture is influenced by an array of factors, and contemporary art is among them. Art is a dynamic, predominant element which can be considered “an aspect of culture” (Hatcher 1). There are several views that people uphold denoting that ...

It is an issue that has had many groups up in arms over what is morally acceptable in society and what is considered criminal. Individuals in society believe that every life should be protected. Many people believe that the policy on abortion may give people the avenue to terminate a pregnancy if they want, or if they decide that it is too much for them to raise a child. Policies are implemented on a regular basis to ensure the limited access of safe and legal abortion. Individuals believe that the woman should be given the right to choose. Others believe that the ...

When referring to a person as an ‘enemy combatant,’ it is typically in the context of a war between states, particularly when one state is holding a military officer or member of the opposing state. It is state that is normally afforded fewer rights and privileges as a prisoner of war, and is often used to be able to punish or interrogate prisoners without needing to give the individual the treatment and rights that are offered them in the Geneva Convention. Before 9/11, an enemy combatant was defined by the Supreme Court as an agent who has come behind enemy lines in secret ...

Philosophy of Sex

It is easy to simply define sex as ‘any contact between two or more individuals in which penetration occurs’; this covers the broad definitions of intercourse as have been commonly understood by societies over the course of history. This definition ostensibly covers oral, vagina, and anal sexual intercourse in a strict physical sense, but manages to ignore some of the greater nuances of the sexual experience. Therefore, this paper will seek to examine and defend a conceptual definition of sex as ‘all acts conveying a physical connection (requiring penetration) between two or more individuals.’ This analysis will be established by stipulating the ...

Who was James Brown? He was known my several monikers that paid tribute to his talent and contributions to the world of American music.
