Criminal Justice System Number Of Users
1,236 wordsThe concept of marijuana legalization has gone in and out of vogue over the past 20 years, as several states, either de jure or de facto, have decriminalized its possession and use. Some describe the cause of decriminalization in the 1970 s as a wave of permissive liberalism. This is hardly the case, however. In the early 1970 s, a presidential commission chaired by the former Republican governor of Pennsylvania, Raymond P. Schafer, called for federal decriminalization and eventual legalization,...

Ernest Van Den Haag Criminal Justice System
1,108 wordsThe Case for Capital Punishment Society, in general, agrees that the taking of an innocent life is an unforgivable act, and that the rape of children is particularly heinous.

Capital punishment is not only justifiable but is morally correct and should be the mandatory sentence for such crimes once an individual is found guilty. It would be neithe...
