Arresting Batterers is Not The Solution
Does arresting batterers do more harm than good? For this debate my side is the
con and I will give ideas and support to their views. Before I get started I just want to say
that I don’t condone husbands beating their wives at all, and many others feel the same
way. Battering is a learn behavior you are accountable for your own actions and must
face the serve consequences ahead. Many people believe that what is happening in there
own home is unique but it is not because it occurs in all family households all over the
world. In one survey one quarter (25%) of United States couples report at least one
incident of physical aggression occurring between them during the

By locking them up, law enforcement has taken
the easy way out of dealing with the issue. We should be trying to get to the root of all
the problems and see why and understand these individuals choose to use violence to deal
with there everyday problems. The pro side just wants to throw away the key at the
batterers. In most cases the batterers will not spend along time in jail. When they get
released they are going to go right back to what they were doing before beating their love
ones. This is because when they were in jail that were not given any help to deal with
their problems. By putting them in jail their going to be able to build up angry and
frustration and when they get out they are going to being looking to retaliate the ones that
put them in the confines of the jail. So the women will be targets first so we are putting
them in harm and danger of their lives. Some other problems a rise when we decide to
put batterers in jail because we are taking the child’s father out of the home and with that
might be the income coming into the house to pay the bills and put food on the table and
clothes on the child. I know that sounds like the best thing for the child to take the father
out of the house to stop the abuse that was going on. In some cases the ones who are
batterers hold jobs, are normally nice people but when
“The practice of violence, like all action, changes the world, but the most probable change is to a more violent world” (Arendt pg 80). Violence is contagious, like a disease, which will destroy nations and our morals as human beings. Each individual has his or her own definition of violence and when it is acceptable or ethical to use it. Martin Luther King Jr., Walter Benjamin, and Hannah Arendt are among the many that wrote about the different facets of violence, in what cases it is ethical, the role we as individuals play in this violent society and the political aspects behind our violence.
The purpose of my paper is to prove that marijuana effects teens and their mind. Marijuana is a tobacco-like substance produced by drying the leaves, stems, flower tops of the Cannabis sativa (Indian Hemp) plant (Fact Sheet, 1). It is smoked or eaten to get hallucinated and receive pleasure. It grows just about anywhere. It is illegal in some countries but in others it is used for medical purposes (Encarta, 1). Some names that it is called a joint, nail, pot, Mary Jane, hive, etc. (Fact Sheet and Facts for teens, 1). Marijuana stays in the body for several days after one smoking session. In a chronic user marijuana can stay in the body for up to several weeks (Facts for Teens, 1).
Substantiating and quantifying this violence has proved quite difficult, as there
Some of the secondary causes of this violence as espoused by Phillips (148) include despair, racism, powerlessness and poverty. Many youths have struggled in despair as they struggle to meet their daily bread. In the desperation, many children were therefore introduced to violence at a young age in order to meet their needs. This despair has brought with it powerlessness that has also made life difficult for the children.
In Cohen’s article,“Culture, Social Organization, and Patterns of Violence,” he examined a study, based on the use of violence. Whether it was seen as more culturally appropriate within South and West communities as opposed to less violence seen in tighter, more organized states within the North, he stated that it is a trend of commonplace within these areas and communities following this norm as it is part of that area 's
The United States of America is a rich and powerful country. The way we handle political, social, and ethical issues are
Violence is one of the most exaggerated forms of physical aggression and it can exist for a series of reasons. It involves a person or a group of persons acting against another person or groups of persons with the purpose to achieve one or several diverse goals. In many cases violence results from individuals perceiving the acts of other people as hostile and thus wanting to act against these people before it is too late. Depending on the situation, more or less individuals might get involved in an act of violence, especially when they consider that it would be essential for them to do so.
There are two main views on this argument that different groups and parties take sides on; they
Male and female offenders alike are incarcerated every day for various reasons. Some commit violent crimes while others are arrested for drug use or public-order offenses. The difference between the two are the rates at which they are incarcerated, the length or harshness of their sentences, for the same or similar crimes committed, patterns of drug use, and previous correctional history. While men still lead in violent crime rates, 54.3 percent male verse 36.6 percent female, women are more likely than men to serve sentences due to drug-related offenses and other nonviolent property crimes (American Corrections, 2016).
Substance abuse is a major problem as well for these prisoners because they abuse and because this just triggers violence and puts them in situations to be incarcerated again. In the U.S Department of Justice Reports its shows that about 52% of female offenders and 41% of male offenders are under
of crimes. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and outline the differences among jails

For more than a decade, researchers across multiple disciplines have been issuing reports on the widespread societal and economic damage caused by America’s now-40-year experiment in locking up vast numbers of its citizens. (The Editorial Board)
This system integrated the IRT with another corporation, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT). In fact, this project doubled the total rapid transit mileage and extended beyond the original designated territories to new parts of the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. Due to the World War I, a series of financial crises worried the political arrangements between the City of New York City and the two subway companies since it were prohibited to raise the nickel fare. The context of a political culture in which public ownership and regulation combined with private operation to encourage competition and conflict rather than cooperation, low prices and high quality service, increased the friction between government and business.
Every civilization in history has had rules, and citizens who break them. To this day governments struggle to figure out the best way to deal with their criminals in ways that help both society and those that commit the crimes. Imprisonment has historically been the popular solution. However, there are many instances in which people are sent to prison that would be better served for community service, rehab, or some other form of punishment. Prison affects more than just the prisoner; the families, friends, employers, and communities of the incarcerated also pay a price. Prison as a punishment has its pros and cons; although it may be necessary for some, it can be harmful for those who would be better suited for alternative means
