Three Strikes And Youre Out
1,472 words
In 1994 California voters approved a ballot
initiative known as Three Strikes and Youre Out.
The law states that people who are convicted of
three felonies may end up facing life in prison
(Mullins). The Three Strikes law increases the

Recidivism Of Sex Offenders
1,305 words
Sex offenders have been a serious problem for our
legal system at all levels, not to mention those
who have been their victims. There are 43, 000
inmates in prison for sexual offenses while each
year in this country over 510, 000 children are
sexually assaulted (Oakes 99). The latter
statistic, in its context, does not convey the
severity of the situation. Each year 510, 000

this viewpoint will bring about a reduction in
domestic violence. Dr. Sonkin does not claim to
have a solution to the problem of domestic

Marijuana is the second most popular drug after
alcohol in the country today. So many people smoke
marijuana that the numbers alone seem to

innocuous drug. Our society perpetuates the myths
about pot being a fun, harmless, recreational
drug. These myths feed into peoples denial of
