This is a 5 page paper describing the chronological events in the life and trial of Charles Manson. Detail of the trial is included. The chronology of events and the life of Charles Manson which led to his eventual trial and conviction for the Tate-LaBianca murders is one of crime, psychological disorders and the establishment of his Family. Manson had lived his life mostly within the prison system until his release in 1967 and the establishment of his group of followers called The Family. In August 1969, Manson and Family members murdered five people at the Tate household and two at the LaBianca household. In 1970, their trial lasted nine months which included testimony which proved to be more shocking than the murders themselves.

Corrections in California: Problems in River City
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) "River City" never was a real place; but
somehow I remember it from one of my mother's
musical records. Some one sang, "there is
trouble in River City, that starts with "T", and
rhymes with
" and the rest of the song is some
shadow of a memory that cannot be grasped, other
than the chorus constantly repeating "trouble,"
trouble, trouble," until they danced or faded away.
I have not thought of that song in a kahzillion
years, and now it pops into my head about
California Corrections. Our mind, or the human
memory can do tricks far beyond us sometimes. But
that ancient bit of memory seems very "right on,"
as far as corrections goes in California; it is
"trouble, trouble, trouble." Bibliography lists
3 sources.

Crime and Campaign Promises
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the dichotomy between campaign promises relating to crime and actual observed results. We expect political candidates to lay out for us the reasons we should vote for them rather than for their opponents, and candidates oblige this expectation by making promises during their campaigns outlining the things they will do once they gain office. There will be reform, they promise. Things will be different. They will take some sort of stance against crime. Too often, these promises are made for the purpose of gaining votes rather than truly making a difference. In the end, the most effective law and order campaigns have been those that have come about without any direct influence on the part of newly-elected officials at any level of government.
