.... and assaults on the police. The next called category is called " Summery " crimes which is equal to our misdemeanor crimes. Summery crimes were all minor crimes such as: Property crimes, Vagrancy, Drunkenness, Prostitution, Minor Larceny , and all other minor offenses. Probably the most famous criminal in the Victorian period was " Jack the Ripper ". Jack the Ripper was " the first modern sexual serial killer" ( Sugden, pg.2) Jack's trademark was the killing of female prostitutes. But not only did he kill them, he would surgically remove organs and intrails and place them nea .....

.... Great Leap Forward of 1958-60. This program, initiated by Mao, was designed to step up industrial production to a level with Britain and create a truly communal society without Russia's aid; all in the course of 15 years. The project was a failure and Liu Shao-Ch'i temporarily took over Mao's position as head of state. When differences between party leaders arose, and Mao Tse-Tung began feeling that the revolution was exhausted, he launched the Cultural Revolution of 1966-69. This was intended to stir up the conservative government/military and add more revolutionary element .....

.... to her freedom. All across Ireland people were repulsed by the executions which they considered to be needlessly brutal. What they lacked was new leadership to focus the restless energy of the Irish into effective political action, but it was not long in coming. At Christmas 1916 all rebel prisoners who had been interned without trial, those that the British had considered insignificant, were released as a goodwill gesture to the United States which had been very angry by British conduct regarding the rebels. This proved to be a costly mistake. Among those released was a cadre of IRB me .....

.... at least $10 billion a year on drug enforcement programs and spends many billions more on drug-related crimes and punishment. The estimated cost to the United States for the "War on Drugs" is $200 billion a year or an outstanding $770 per person per year, and that figure does not include the money spent by state and local government in this "war" (Evans and Berent, eds. xvii). The second cost of this "war" is opportunity costs. America has two resources which are limited prison cells and law enforcement. When more drug crimes take up law enforcement's time and when more drug criminals take up .....

.... had not yet ended. During his presidency Kennedy was determined to lower unemployment by creating more jobs. He expanded the space program and stimulated military spending. He also cut taxes to give Americans a little more money to spend. This tax cut lead to a period of prosperity. He proposed a medical care program for the elderly. It was rejected by congress. Kennedy appointed black officials to higher government positions to support a Civil Rights Law he was delaying to propose. Kennedy’s program was a big hit. A national poll indicated that at least 60% of Americans approved his pre .....

.... that marijuana clearly controls nausea and vomiting in many chemotherapy patients, helps AIDS patients gain weight, and greatly reduces damaging pressure in the eye caused by glaucoma (4, p.1). The fact that smoking marijuana to relieve medical distress is still illegal is alarming. If marijuana can help so many suffering victims of these ailments, then why keep it out of use? Marijuana ranked ninth in order of preference for the treatment of mild to moderate nausea and vomiting, and sixth for treatment of more severe symptoms induced by chemotherapy (8, p.1). Forty-four percent of oncol .....

.... which included the vacationing President Clinton and his wife, that is wrong. "I invite you to look at a picture of Timothy McVeigh and to forgive him," said Miller. "If we profess to be Christians, then we are called to love and forgive." Once the sermon ended, Rev. Miller, Clinton, and their wives got together for brunch at the Sweet Life Café. What the Rev. did not know was that 24-year-old Jeremy T Charron; an Epsom New Hampshire police officer was gunned down in cold blood just hours before Miller's sermon on forgiving murderers. That Sunday marked Charron's 44th day as a fu .....

.... million annually by elemating programs that the state uses to inforce affirmative action. These savings can be used for other, more constructive programs to help elimate discrimination. Maybe other Propositions on the ballet can use the extra funds. I think that ending affirmative action will be the right thing to do. It ends government-sponsored discrimination by rejecting quotas, preferences and set-asides. My brother had a run in with affirmative action. After attending a junior college and getting a 4.0 there he transfered to U.C. Davis for Pre- Med school. Two years later .....

.... first offense, such as drunk driving. Raising the driving age to eighteen instead of sixteen could also reduce traffic accidents in general. I think that sixteen is too young to be given power over a weapon as deadly as an automobile. However, since the legal driving age is sixteen, perhaps lawmakers should enact training requirements that are stricter for new drivers. For example, they could require more driving time with a certified instructor, or give them a probationary license for the first six months of their licensure. Even though there have been many cases of irresponsibl .....

.... go to the intersection and time the amber signal. Try to remember where the officer was sitting, and see if he had a clear view of you approaching him and exactly what he could see. (Which traffic lights were visible to him, how far down the road he could see etc.) Make a reasonable measurement of the width of the intersection. You do not have to prove yourself innocent….the officer must prove you are guilty. If you can prove that there is a reasonable doubt in the evidence he is giving, you will be found not guilty. That is all you can do. Try to cause a reasonable do .....
