The Innocence Of Crime In America

I acknowledge that the occasional execution of an innocent person is a tragic event, and the answer is not to dismantle the system, but to exercise even more care in its application.

Even for those justly convicted, are usually still under high amounts of stress, etc. due to their impending deaths.

Killing another is nowhere near “justifiable”. Imagine this, someone close to you is framed for a murder they didn’t commit. If your state had the death penalty, they could be punished for nothing. There are many other situations when killing another is unacceptable and wrong. Killing someone takes away the meaning of their life. It will hurt those around them and those close to them. We were all put on this Earth for a reason and everyone should be able to achieve the goals they want to in their life. Whether it’s capital punishment, euthanasia,or the case of George and Lennie, killing others is an unjustifiable act.

because of all this crimes in American some cities some have a bigger crime rates

When we get into how society and people look at crime, it happens in every city, every neighborhood, people are victims every day, businesses, and even property. Crime dates back since colonization and the rates have varied over time, believe it or not, crime has decreased over the years. As a matter of fact, the United States has been on a decline. The crime rate for the year 2000 was a total of 11,608,072 a declining year in 2015 with a total of 9,225,197. (U.S. Department of Justice)

Unfortunately, the actual trend for crime is not consistent with what is portrayed in the media due to several factors such as not all crimes are reported according to the chart The Crime Funnel

Are there ever good enough reasons to kill a person? Killing a person is a major debate all around the world. No one should ever be killed no matter what the reasons are. Killing a person should not occur because of anger. Getting jealous over something or someone should not lead them to hurt them. Frustration often makes people do things that they should not, but that should not happen.

Murders, stealing and hommoside everyday twenty four hours a day. A world without broadcasting and recording, just freedom... People were getting hurt everyday by one fugitive, Chris Lowes. I saw him at the park, with a knife one night wondering what he was up to I carefully followed behind him. "Come here!" Chris yelled to a young man. I could see the shadow of the knife going closer and closer to the mans body... Suddenly about a litre of blood spilt onto the footpath, I ran away not even looking back pretending I never saw anything. That was the last murder because of that murder broadcasting was implemented...

When I read Just Mercy, quotes stood out to me, like “The death penalty is not about whether people deserve to die for the crimes they commit. The real question of capital punishment in this country is, do we deserve to kill?” This passage really made me reflect on affairs in our time period because I agree with the sentence. I don’t comprehend why as a culture we feel that since someone commits a delinquency that it justifies a death. Even when we can be the ones to decide whether someone lives or dies through court systems that are corrupt.

Society holds expectations for its citizens, and non-citizens at a very high level. They expect everyone to abide by the law, and give back to the community. In a perfect world all citizens and non-citizens would be good Samaritans, sadly it is far from that in today’s society. Many individuals are deviant and stray from society’s expectations of them. We know them as criminals. Indeed some of them may be hardened criminals, yet some of them commit petty crimes that are still a burden on society. Whether, their crime is petty or severe, society expects them to pay for their actions. Most criminals at one time or another will spend time in prison or jail.

To begin, I have to admit this discussion forum has challenged me. Whenever I think of killing, my brain automatically thinks the word bad. But, the readings have made me realize that assassination or targeted killing, as Statman refers to it, “is not always morally wrong” (White 502). Statman states, “"Thus, people generally fail to notice the moral problem with many instances of killing in war even when they are fierce objectors to the death penalty, because they view the situation of war as different from the non-war context” (Statman 512).

If I were to ask you if killing someone is justifiable, some will answer with a strong no and others like me might say it depends on what they did. However, that is a job for the police to investigate and figure out. No human being kills another without some sort of

. No one know that why murder rates are increasing and not reducing. Such as police officers are less aggressive toward of criminal and do not take a serious an action against a criminal or failed to find a criminal in certain time of period and a criminal commit more crimes and murders in a society. On the other hand, those who are earning less and can’t effort daily life needs is also a sign of increasing crimes in societies and in communities. They can’t effort what they need or their family needs so those kinds of people start plundering, street crimes and even murder to gain their goals and money to support themselves and their families. Such as this kind of problems is headache for societies and for communities. The figure and stability

Crime in this country is an everyday thing. Some people believe that crime is unnecessary. That people do it out of ignorance and that it really can be prevented. Honestly, since we live in a country where there is poverty, people living in the streets, or with people barely getting by, there will always be crime. Whether the crime is robbing food, money, or even hurting the people you love, your family. You will soon read about how being a criminal starts or even stops, where it begins, with whom it begins with and why crime seems to be the only way out sometimes for the poor.

Many prisoners in the past have been known to be killed before they were proven innocent. Many documented cases where DNA testing showed that innocent people were put to death by the government. This sometimes happens because there are defendants who are given minimal legal attention by often minor qualified individuals. The government has made many mistakes which are being wrong about convicting someone for something they didn’t do, and killing this person for the wrong reason. Putting the wrong person to death is the biggest mistake that can be made and the government cannot afford to make this mistake.
