Essays on Shooting

Is it safe to allow teachers and students to carry guns? Will it be safer to give this permission only to the one group? These are difficult questions that create controversial opinions. News show schools, universities and other educational institutions had mostly negative impact of weapons.

There are other examples of students who used guns to kill or wound people in ...

Question 1

1.1 In her taxonomy, Joh (2005) describes private policing as law enforcement activities offered through agencies owned and controlled by private individuals. That said, unlike their public counterparts, private police officers concentrate on property loss, preventive techniques, private justice, and safeguarding personal interests. As such, these entities mainly operate as parallel entities, each focusing on their individual duties in law enforcement. This taxonomy is both useful and an excellent beginning in the categorization of various forms of private policing as explained below. On the one hand, some of the existing classifications include publicly contracted, protective, intelligence, and corporate security ...

Part 1: Active Shooters

There has been an increase in the number of shootings in hospitals as well as other institutions around the country (Hospital Employee Health, 2013). The increase in these cases has made institutions to start preparing their employees on how to react if such a shooting occurred in their organization. There are similarities in some of the hospital shooting cases. In St. Vincent’s Hospital, the shooting was unpredictable and could not be prevented. This was similar to the case of the Western Psychiatric Institute shooting in Pittsburgh (Thomas, 2012). The Joint Commission agrees that there has been an increase ...

At common law, a felony murder was defined as the unlawful killing of a human being while in the commission of a felony crimes (LaFave). However, the modern concept of felony murder has widely been interpreted to mean an unlawful killing that occurred in the commission of only a certain type of felony crime, or acts that are deemed, by the totality of circumstances, to be inherently dangerous (LaFave). Under the federal criminal code, a person is guilty of felony murder if in “preparation of, or attempt to perpetrate, any” robbery (LII). Robbery, under the federal criminal code, is ...

In a movie, you have an opportunity to employ your imagination and explain things that can be hard to explain. For some people, cinema provides a platform ...

After the carnage of 9/11, the international community turned its local and joint efforts to the struggle against terrorism and prevention of terroristic activities. Antiterrorism initiatives have been run by various international organizations, particularly by the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee, and by the United States government, which applies its resources to combat terroristic activities on a domestic scale and in countries overwhelmed by terroristic groups. As Chalk notes, “the coordinated terrorist strikes of 9/11 galvanized a [] response by the United States government to increase the country’s physical and financial security in the face of potential future attacks” (Chalk, ...

In this paper, we will explore the psychological impacts of two human-made disasters. One that happened during the First World War, and the other one is a recent terrorist attack in Paris, in 2015. The Lusitania Disaster was an attack from the German army to a British ship liner coming from New York to Liverpool, UK. The terrorist attack in Paris however was not a war attack, so people were not expecting anything as such. However, it can be argued that we are on a war today, that begun by several attacks of radical Islamic groups against the West. ...

. This essay on Orwell’s work in question will seek to examine the striking theme of guilt and shame as depicted by the author in his writing, as well as the painful, contradictory nature of his own feelings versus actions. Orwell, at the time of writing, was a British policeman in the country of Burma in south east Asia dominated by the rule of the British Empire, and here begins the first contradiction given his subsequent reputation as a crusader against such a political system. The essay will examine three aspects of the essay in relation to guilt and ...

On November 5, 2009, the son of Palestinian immigrants, Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan randomly fired into a crowd at a processing center at Fort Hood, the largest active-duty military post in the country (Army Major kills, n.d.). One would be hard pressed to find a larger military stage to conduct such blatant murder. Despite the Major shouting ‘God is great’ in Arabic, “Allahu Akbar”, just before he opened fire on soldiers who were either returning from deployment, or getting ready to be deployed, there was a denial by the government to officially label the shooting as an act ...

Yes. Nancy Grace seems to be fast in making conclusions and individual judgements. From the cases cited, Nancy seems naïve in the legal field and the way she manages vital information is extremely unprofessional. Grace used the murder of her college fiancée by a coworker to gather popularity and fame among the general public. Without even waiting for the official investigation reports to be broadcasted, she even reported that a random stranger was behind the incident. Nancy Grace doesn’t seem affected by the murder and her persistent cries for truth and justice are all in a ...

Over the last three decades, there have been an increase in homicides, violent crimes, and shootings not to mention the several terrorism incidences that ...

Abstract

Although obliged to cover issues in their entirety, with no distortions made in the process, American media tend to misrepresent the reality, as was the case with the depiction of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime implications for the social welfare possibly for political reasons. The noble cause of saving the international image of the USA formerly allied with the late leader in the wake of the Gaddafi demonization could have been the driving force of misrepresentation of the myth related in part to ethical minorities. The knowledge of non-consequentialism and its principles, whether unconsciously or otherwise, allows readers to perceive ...

Issue: The current shooting incidents at the hands of police officers are on the rise, with no hint of slowing down. From the shooting of Rodney King in the early 1990s by Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers to shooting of Amadou Diallo in late 1990s at the hands of New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers there have not been as many incidents of what many see as either police brutality or police misconduct in over 20 years. There was a long period of drought where police incidents were sparse. This dry spell broke in 2014, when Officer ...

Introduction There is plentiful evidence that America needs stronger and more comprehensive gun control laws. There have been hundreds of thousands of shooting deaths in the United States since the 1990s, when the gun control laws were supposedly strengthened. Mass shootings have been going on for years, at schools, churches, shopping malls, theatres, and other public places. These mass shootings are usually caused by high caliber firearms that pose an overt threat to public safety. There has been a documented increase in the number of women in domestic violence situations who have been shot to death in the last ...

The Orlando Shooting is an example of a hate crime trying to gain legitimacy through the channels of terrorism. The shooter Omar Mateen, according to the investigations conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not a member of the LGBT community. Despite several testimonies by witnesses who were in the club at the time of the shooting and allegations by Mateen’s first (ex) wife, there is no indication that Mateen was gay (The Guardian, “Orlando shooting – as it happened”). The motive for the shooting is speculative. ISIS or ISIL followed a specific pattern before influencing a common ...

Response to Robert Brings

One of the most important characteristics of police work is the legal authority given to law enforcement officers to use force where necessary to enforce the law. However, the force applied must not under any circumstance be disproportionate or excessive. That means, for instance, that a police officer is not supposed to shoot an unarmed man who poses no threat to him or to the general public. However, in the US, for example, incidents of police shooting unarmed men have been on the increase in the recent past, with the latest being Alton Sterling shooting in Baton Rouge and ...

Inaction is more harmful than taking the wrong decision. The callous attitude of the Judges in the Supreme Court in recent times is affecting different sections of the society in the United States. Whether it is their reluctance to ban assault rifles or to withhold immigration reforms, the consequences are difficult to bear by the citizenry. There are several incidents of inaction in the past which disgraced the United States in the international arena. It is not surprising that neighboring countries are slowly isolating ties with the nation. Even allied nations choose to hold a neutral position. Inaction has ...

I. Good Samaritan A good Samaritan, named after the biblical parable, refer to a person that voluntarily and with no expectation of reward or thankfulness provides help and assistance to a person in need. In criminal justice this is often exhibited in a person who helps a victim. For example: In 2014, Angela Radtke was first arrested then released for breaking into a car when police learned that did so to save a baby that had been locked in to car during a day of high temperatures. In 2013, Charles Ramsey helped three women missing for years escape from ...

The writing is persuasive because the writer followed the guidelines of sound argumentation, referring to nationwide events that ended in shooting for credibility (ethos) purpose, presenting the facts in a logical manner, hence integrating the logos, and finally, appealing to the readers in an emotional manner (pathos). This essay’s thesis is “Violent video games are desensitizing players from violence and reward them for it, while also teaching them that it is an acceptable way to ...

Part A. Answer the following questions based on the literature:

PTP (Pretrial publicity) creates a set of problems that forensic social/cognitive/experimental psychologists are uniquely qualified to address. What are some of these problems? Hint: they are psychological (social/cognitive) and legal (procedural/substantive). Thus, begin by addressing: why we are concerned with PTP at all? What are the alleged effects and what does the social science research indicate regarding these effects (be specific in citing literature)? One of the problems, caused by Pre-Trial Publicity is the cognitive one. This means that juries get the information about the case under some circumstances, identified by the pre-trial mass media articles, which they ...

In the United States at the moment, any person has the right to own a gun. Someone once joked that buying a rifle in the United States is easier than purchasing a personal computer. This gives the general view of how the matters are at the moment as far as guns are concerned in the U.S. With the recent mass shootings and the wake of terrorist attacks, there has been a great concern about gun control. Different factions have furiously debated on a different position, the pro and against gun control. I believe that it is the highest time ...

Community policing aims at working in close coordination with the local community, involving citizens in all the aspects of law design and implementation. The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, established in 1994 as part of the U.S. Department of Justice especially supports such strategies.

Abstract

The application of the rule of law as well as driving the use of the law towards the creation of a law abiding society is the limelight towards the creation of a society which does not condone crime and its sycophants.

Essentially, every individual is at ...

Issue

In examining the criminal liability of the four persons about the death of Betty, several issues should be focused on approval or disapproval of any liability. In the case of Naveed, there is a need to prove whether he committed an actus reus in his threatening Betty. In the case of Peter, we need to establish under which circumstances and criminal law he might have been the causal link in the shooting, injury and eventual death of Betty. Also, there is a need to prove whether there was any state of mind with criminal liability and intent to cause ...

Shooting an Elephant- Response Essay

Introduction George Orwell’s -- Shooting an Elephant provides an insight into one day experience of George Orwell as a young British policeman working for Indian Imperial Police in Burma. I was interested in Orwell’s work as it provides a look into the moral conscience of an individual deciding to either kill an elephant or let it live. The story makes me think how taking a life can be emotionally challenging for an individual, even though it can be legal and part of your job. After discovering that an elephant had gone must and finding the elephant in ...

Ever Since the planes struck the World Trade Centre in September 2001, Islamophobia has grown from a feeling restricted to a small section of the American society to a common notion held by many. In the present scenario, every attack in the United States of America by a Muslim becomes an attack from Radical Islam. Such hatred and prospective threat from Islam is developing a society in America, where people are unable to trust people from other religions and respect their values. During the past year, there have been a few events that have helped in fuelling Islamophobia in ...

This year seems to have been full of hatred, turmoil, and attacks amongst many different groups of sexual orientations, races, religion, and more. It leaves us wondering if there is any ounce of hope for changes within our society and the melting pot of thoughts and beliefs that practically make up the U.S.A. There have been a lot of shootings, most of which a majority would consider hate crimes because the victims have been Black men, women, and children and members of the LGBTQ community. The shooting that I would like to discuss is the Charleston shooting that occurred ...

Societal expectations change whenever a new crime surfaces or when there are delays in the Criminal Justice System. However, a drastic change usually occurs when a criminal act is particularly horrific or an officer involved shooting does not seem justified.

In the United Kingdom, the release of Mary Bell, a child serial killer created uproar, and demanded reforms in the system. In the United States, the murder of Megan Kanka by a known sexual predator brought ...

In Gridiron Gang, the character of Willie Weathery had many factors that could explain why he became delinquent.

Should the sale of semi-automatic weapons to civilians be banned? This is a huge question in politics at the moment. It is also a topic that most politicians like to avoid or give patented answers to. This is because they are trying to avoid distancing the NRA and 2nd amendment enthusiasts. This paper will argue that civilians should be banned from purchasing and owning assault weapons. Gun advocates argue that the second amendment and the right of citizens to “keep and bear arms”. This ensures that everyone has the right to own and use a gun. This means that ...

Everyone desires to understand the significance of life, to unveil the importance of human beings and reconcile that importance to the surroundings. Many philosophers, alive and dead, from Descartes to Eve Cole, have indulged in the question of the significance of a human life, and the relationships that people form.

Professional counselors and psychologists make a lot of money by telling people how they can achieve their full potential. In the literal works; Doll House by Ibsen, The Plague by Albert Camus, Ikiru by ...

Violence and Revenge

Violence and revenge only hurt people. Human beings are known for their innate desire for revenge, which makes vengeance part of our survival mechanics. However, those with mental illness pose more danger of harming others since they are driven by their subconscious mind to revenge against physical and verbal abuse and could use weird forms in the process. Revenge is often cruel, lustful and insatiable to the extent that a provoked mentally ill person would do anything to ensure they make others pay for physical or verbal abuse. Such acts of violence and revenge pose major problems in the ...
