Number of words: 884 - Number of pages: 4.... of three basic components. These are to
live,

White Collar Crime Vs. Street Crime
Number of words: 655 - Number of pages: 3.... is a defined victim.
The one answer that our politicians give for solving street crime is
more money for the Justice system. More cops, more judges, and definitely more
jails and prisons. There are shows, such as "Cops," that shows America the
"truth" about crime in the US. All the attention is given to street crime.
Unless it is a huge scandal, you will seldom hear of white collar crime through
the media. When white collar crime is reported, it gets little publicity
compared to a gang shoot-out that killed a mother and her three kids. There is
a reason for this. Since violent street .....

Immigration Should Be Restricted
Number of words: 639 - Number of pages: 3.... and industry owners do not care who they have working for them, as long as they hustle. So why, one may wonder would anyone hire an American worker at a higher rate, when an immigrant will do the same work for less pay? This increased competition for jobs is certainly related to the saturation of unemployed immigrants in the U.S.
In addition to the economic problems that arise with immigration, there are also many social issues as well. Some of these issues include education, communication, and assimilation. The public school systems of the U.S. today are inadequate enough, without the ha .....

Defending A Killer
Number of words: 829 - Number of pages: 4.... even though someone was going to
die for a crime they did not commit. Where and how could such a rule be put
into place that would make it totally acceptable for an innocent person to
be put to death for a crime that they did not commit? Try to vision if you
can, a family member accused of murder, tried, convicted, and sentenced to
death for a crime they did not commit. How much faith would you now have in
that family member or friend telling you that he or she is innocent. Now
picture a lawyer, knowing that your spouse, son, or close friend are
innocent. This lawyer knows that your .....
