Rise Of Crime

One may avoid negativity for any kind of reason. One may be distressed by it, or perhaps one may find negativity traumatizing to their emotions. Whatever it may be, some people attempt to dodge any sort of negativity. The topic of my independent novel serves to not only challenge the idea of avoiding any kind of depressing news, but to bring light to new ways of thinking that humanity should adopt should we want to understand the roots of crime. Furthermore, we should use our knowledge of these roots to prevent crime.

The rise of the Mongol and Aztec empires had a large impact on the areas they inhabited. The lands and regions they seized had been completely conquered and affected by the invasions of these empires. The two were immensely similar in many aspects such as their ultimate goal to exceed power and land. Even though the Aztecs and Mongols shared many similarities in their war strategies, they had numerous variations when talking concerning their religious, technological and hierarchic aspects.

As crime statistics rise in cities across the United States, people are left with the question: Why? While there are numerous theories, one of the most debated ideas has coined its name from the city of Ferguson, Missouri. The death of an unarmed black eighteen-year-old man named Michael Brown outraged the citizens of Ferguson; which is a predominantly black society on the north side of St. Louis. Other blacks involved in altercations with the police (that subsequently ended in their deaths) sparked even more unrest, generating rifts between local law enforcement agencies and citizens around the country. As a result of these rifts, violent protestors have bombarded Ferguson, attacking the city with an un-relentless

In this essay I am going to talk about The Call of the Wild. The essay is going to describe how the book and the movie are different. So the Call of the Wild is a story about a dog named Buck. Buck is the main character in the story.He gets turned into a sled dog because people come and steal Buck from his owner Judge Miller and his family.

Figure 10.14: While comparing the Murder rate ratio between Chicago and other Large Cities has shown a gradual increase since 1990. Has the NRA influenced these numbers or are they not doing enough?

However, some criminologist state that these statistics reveal very little about the cause of the increase in violent crime. On the other hand there are some people such as Heather MacDonald author of “Are Cops Racist?”, in the Wall Street Journal who believe that “the most plausible explanation of the current surge in lawlessness is the intense agitation against American police departments over the past nine months” (Jonsson, 2015). There is a lot of back and forth debate of whether or not The Ferguson Effect is “thing”. Of course by accepting the “Ferguson effect” as a new theory of policing on would have to admit that police officers are no longer doing their jobs out of fear of public scrutiny. What is certain is that there has been a

Chicago is facing a serious problem. Over this year 's Fourth of July Weekend, eighty four people were shot resulting in fourteen deaths. After this violent weekend, Mayor Rahm Emmanuel nearly called for total martial law, calling upon United States Military 's support to help protect Chicago 's citizens and patrol Chicacgo 's streets. So far in 2015, over 2,300 people have been shot in the city of Chicago, and it is only a matter of days until the death toll surpasses four hundred on the year. There are a number of factors that contribute to this inflated level of violent crime. Some would point to loose gun restrictions, others to gang fragmentation. I believe the most influential factor leading to these high rates of crime in certain

This article goes through the disparities in races in comparison to violence. Statistically blacks are six times more likely to die by homicide than white people are (Robert J. Sampson, 2004). That is a significant gap between the two races. The rates of Latino’s have slowly been converging with the whites in more recent years. There are other studies that are based on police statistics that show disadvantaged communities have the highest violent crime rates.

In 2015, Phoenix, AZ had a lower number of homicides compared to Dallas, TX. This is a city that is demographically similar to Phoenix. In 2015 Phoenix, AZ had 113 homicides, while Dallas, TX had 136 homicides (Martin, 2016). That is not a major difference, but Dallas is slightly higher in homicides. In the “Dallas News” it stated that Dallas homicides had increased 17 percent compared to the 2014 homicide number (Martin, 2016). The Dallas 2015 homicide number is still less dangerous compared to previous years (Martin,

The United States has been a world leader in homicide for centuries. Indeed, “since the early 19th century ...[America has been] the most homicidal country in the Western world” and holds that title today (Kelley, 2009). In a 2007-2008 list of 31 nations, only two nations, Mexico and Chile, had higher homicide rates (Comparison, 2010). Nations with higher populations, such as India and China have fewer homicides (Comparison, 2010). Further, a nation such as Japan, which has a lower population but a higher population density then the United States, has one of the world’s lowest homicide rates (Comparison, 2010). Population size and density, therefore, cannot be the chief reasons for this nation’s higher homicide rates.

This year’s shootings has climbed by twenty percent from 2013, there have been nearly one hundred homicides involving guns so far this year. This is an upsurge from sixty nine during the same period in both 2013 and 2014.In. In New York city officials have blamed the upsurge of homicides on deadly conflicts between career criminals and blamed gang activity in Brooklyn and the Bronx. On the other hand what’s been happening in Baltimore is different. The number of homicides has doubled while shootings has climbed more than eighty percent, and the vast majority of experts say that it is at partially connected to a averseness by police officers to aggressively do their jobs. (Sanburn, 2015)During the year of 2013 the population in New York, NY was 8,396,126 and they had 335 reported homicides, while Baltimore, MD had a population of 622,671 people and 233 reported. (Crime in te Unied States 2013,

Murder is a form of violence that does more harm than just destruction of property but leads to a loss of life in the process, and that makes it more severe than other forms of violence that may just end at injuries to people or destruction of property (Staples 2014). The sociological approach to issues of murder in the city highlights how the society or the environment increases the cases of death or reduces them in a case where there are few cases of murder and how the revelation would relatively contribute in mitigating the cases of violence (Pratt and Godsey 2003). The trend in deaths across different cities including Philadelphia is a motivation that results from how the city operations are set and are functioning, the level of security

The United States has the highest incarceration rates in the world. According to Attorney General Eric Holder “The U.S. accounts for 5% of the world's population, but 25% of the world’s prisoners”. The United States incarceration rates were not always so drastic. In fact, according to the Sentencing Project, in less than 30 years “The U.S. penal population exploded from around 300,000 to more than 2 million”. The primary contributor to this enormous growth of the prison system is due to The WAR ON DRUGS. Now the question we should be asking: is the war on drugs doing more harm than good?

Crime is considered to be some breech or violation of behaviors which stand in opposition of rules or norms instituted by some governing body. Some actions are considered to be crimes throughout most societies in history; murder or physical abuse can serve as an example as an example. However, the majorities of things that are considered crimes are more of a subjective nature and vary widely in different societies. In many societies it is a crime to be an atheist or to be homosexual for example, while in other societies these items are tolerated and in some cases are considered social norms. Furthermore, when an individual is considered to have committed a crime, the punishments for these crimes also can vary widely depending on the culture, the social norms, the position of the authority figure, as well as a plethora of other factors. This paper will analyze some of the different forms of crime and they develop and how they are treated in different societies.

The effects of crime on victim can have a mixed feeling about making a victim impact statement. They may want to tell the judge or parole hearing officer how the crime affected their life and yet they may be anxious because you don't know how to prepare an impact statement or you don't want to bring back bad memories by describing how the crime has hurt you. The victim impact statements may include descriptions of:
