Governor George Ryan’s Last Minute Commute of Death Sentences in Illinois: The Right of a Wrong or Just One More Aspect of Deeply Rooted Corruption?

Gun Control / Why There Should be Standardized Laws Regarding the Purchase of Guns Across the United States
[ send me this paper ]
In 8 pages, the author discusses why there should be standardized laws regarding the purchase of guns across the nation. Gun laws from state to state differ considerably. This causes a number of problems. In one state a weapon in a vehicle must be in plain sight, while in another, the weapon must be hidden. Some states have stricter gun laws than other states, which can make it very dangerous for travelers of stricter areas when commuting to those areas that almost everyone is permitted to carry a gun. Because of the discrepancies between state laws, gunrunning, or the illegal transportation of weapons from one state to another, is also a problem. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Historical Development of Prisons
[ send me this paper ]

How, If At All, Should Mental Illness Be Taken Into Account In Determining Punishment?
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. The penal system has been no help in alleviating the stigma attached to mental illness, routinely and historically treating mentally unstable inmates with just the same harsh approach as their criminally insane counterparts. Indeed, the distinction between these two populations is significant; however, authorities have long been reluctant to entertain such a concept. Similar to the treatment availed to them in institutions, mentally ill inmates have a history of being shackled, beaten and deprived of the most basic human needs. One might readily argue how state and federal penitentiaries exist for one reason and one reason only: to lock up the criminal and throw away the key. The conspicuous absence of rehabilitation programs speaks to the attitude society openly harbors about its convicted felons – keep them out of sight forever. Only recently has the idea of rehabilitation over incarceration been considered throughout contemporary correctional institutions as an alternative toward addressing the imprisoned mentally ill, a population many believe are deserving of this option because of their blatant lack of free will in making morally responsible choices. Annotated bibliography lists 8 sources.

Is it Ethical for a Criminal to Profit From His Crime at the Expense of a Victim?: The “Son of Sam Laws” and a Suggestion for a More Equitable Approach
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page discussion of the dilemma which exists between criminal and victim rights. Notes the recent phenomenon of criminals profiting from their crimes after their conviction and imprisonment by making book and movie deals or even producing art or song lyrics. The more gruesome and famous the crime the higher the potential profit. Although laws have been implemented at the state level across the nation to prevent a criminal prospering at the expense of his or her victims, these laws have been recently overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court. We are left, therefore, not with the question of the legality of such profit but with the ethics of such profit. Suggests that victim's rights can be protected, and indeed victim and criminal justice system both recompensed, with legislation which allows criminals to maintain only a small percentage of their profit from such deals and diverting the rest to the victims and the criminal justice system. This would provide incentive to the criminals but at the same time generate much needed revenue for victim and state alike. Bibliography list 4 sources.
