Should Sherlock Holmes Let They Go

During retail theft, the stolen items don’t just disappear into thin air. Every item that is taken without being paid for in the store still has to be paid for by the company and manufacturer. This can cause major setbacks in store production and companies a lot of debt. They are handing over money they are not getting back. Being in this situation, forces them to raise prices to stay in business or pay off what has been taken. Shoplifters who don’t get

There are numerous theories as to why a crime is committed. Rational choice theory, which is a subset of classical theory, says that before people commit a crime they think about what they are going to do. They weigh the pros and cons before committing the criminal act. The rational choice theory is well suited for the causation of burglary. The support for this theory is that burglars do not commit crime for the fun of it or just because they want to. It is usually because they need money to keep their heads above water. In their situation, they do not see any other way than to steal to make a living. The opposition for rational choice theory is that criminals do not think before they act as they may be incapable of thinking

Shoplifting is a major problem in today’s world. I myself was recently caught shoplifting and now I have to face the consequences for the bad mistake I made. The temptation of not paying for something is very big factor in why people steal. The shoplifter thinks he is getting a product for free and doesn't know what he's really doing to himself and the community. Shoplifting affects yourself, your local neighborhood and the world population.

Most countries will buy stolen merchandise knowingly, considering they are selfish and only think about improving their country. Many countries do not think about the losses of other countries. For example,if the United States loss something really important many people would want to fight to find their countries prize possession.As mentioned in “Bring Them Home,”Egypt’s invaluable burial mask was stolen and purchased at a museum in St.Louis.In modern time,people are jailed for receiving stolen merchandise;maybe some museums need to be shut down for not returning looted

Larceny is defined as the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods of another from his or her possession with intent to convert them to the takers own use. To say it plainly, larceny is stealing someone else’s property. No matter what reasons there are behind stealing, it is still wrong. I imagine there are many reasons for a person to decide that it is worth the risk to steal something. There are certain people who do not think this is wrong to steal someone else’s property. A large part of this is because people do not understand who or what they are harming when they steal. Most people who commit larceny do not look at the big picture and realize what they are doing and how it affects

I believe that if I were in that situation, I would try not to steal unless it became a life or death situation for me, or anyone that depended on me. I would try to avoid looting because I know that it would be intentionally harming the company that I was looting for, and also the community, both the economy and the reputation. Nonetheless, I believe that human lives are worth more than the stolen merchandise. If I or someone who depended on me were on the brink of death, I would steal from local stores to protect

Scott Decker and Richard Wright studied and wrote a book on criminals who make their livings burglarizing people’s homes. They named the book Burglars on the Job. Their study found that most of the criminals that were career burglars stole to further their drug habits. Many of these career criminals were only making a living by stealing from others.

People have been stealing things ever since there were things to steal. Why buy something if it would be easier to just… take it? Sure, if you don't get caught you can get away with anything.

When questioning Holmes’s motives, one can first examine biological theories. Did crime run in his family? Did he have a bad childhood? Or maybe he was just born with a gene that would somehow trigger him to be a criminal eventually in his life. It’s very possible that he could have suffered an abusive childhood, causing him to grow up and seek a way to somehow enact ‘revenge’ for his own pains.

Reading this quote,it refers to why Holmes never kept his victum’s bodies as rewards and displayed them as trophies. The meaning is deeper than that, this is linked to the theme of people can never be truly satisified or that they can not be satisified for too long. For Holmes, he needed to kill for him to be engaged, however, one was not enough to fulfill his satisfation. For others, engagement comes from the interaction with technology. Additionlly, we are never satified until we has the latest electronics. Therefre this is ironic because it makes Holmes a related person to us.

Along with a community being hurt, his or her actions negatively affect those personally close to the shoplifter as well. Whether it is a mother, father, sibling, or child, there is always someone else being hurt when stealing takes place. It is very easy for the shoplifter to only worry about him or her and not think about the

Is stealing considered ethical? According to Carol Gilligan, stealing may be the right thing to do if and when the scenario is right (Feminine Ethics: Ethics of Care). So what makes a situation suitable for stealing? Well that depends on a lot of things. First and most importantly though is the care involved. Carol Gilligan (2011) explains, “An ethics of care directs our attention to the need for responsiveness in relationships (paying attention, listening, responding) and to the costs of losing connection with oneself or with others. Its logic is inductive, contextual, psychological, rather than deductive or mathematical.” In other words, caring is ultimately about others, learning to put them first and emphasizing the relationships between friends and family. To do so, one must comprehend the following: understanding what stage of morality a person is going through, how they are care for others, the leadership roles that one possesses, how society and culture impact the development of the individual and the emphasis gender has on morality is also important in determining whether stealing is right or wrong. Identifying these things will help to better understand the ethical issues that follow and the theory used to describe it.

On the way to “Twister Two” one of my friends suddenly had a candy bar in his possession. When he was asked how he got it, he simply replied, “I stole it.” It was so amazing to me that he could do that, and act as if it was no big deal. To me stealing would be a thing that needed to be planned and executed, but to him it was just another place that he ripped off. He explained that it is easy to do, “you just grab what you want, wait ‘til no one’s looking, and then walk out.” This is when I first began pondering the idea of stealing. I had never stole before because I knew it was against my morals, but there was that rebel in me that wanted to try it. He, on the other hand, had probably stolen so many times that he could do it with his eyes closed, and he had never been caught. Lucky him.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle utilizes many/several detail-oriented literary elements to develop the many adventures of the famous fictional British detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner, John Watson. Long winded description and complex vocabulary are infused into Doyle’s writing to accentuate Holmes’s great intelligence. By incorporating such a heavy, educated tone upon the mysteries, the tales of Sherlock Holmes are expressed as very complicated stories that challenge readers in comprehension as well as encourage curiosity through puzzling cases.

When reading The Moonstone, written by Wilkie Collins, I found myself asking the same question over and over again. What are these characters hiding? That is a key element to a mystery that Collins does magnificently. It is said that The Moonstone is the first true detective novel in the English language. The premise of the mystery is circled around a diamond. A diamond that is “cursed” and has a history of being stolen. This priceless gem is given to Rachel Verinder at her 18th birthday party. That same night it goes missing and the next morning the household is in disarray. The First Period is a narrative of how the events took place by Gabriel Betteredge, the house-steward of Lady Verinder, Rachel’s mother.
