Why Death Squads Have Been A Tool Used By States

This was exemplified when there were executions of 22 members of the FMLN between June and September of 1993 (Witte 2011). This suggested a renewal of death squad style assassinations and hinted at the everlasting presence of political crime in El Salvador.

The police in Rio de Janeiro regularly takes bribes from drug lords, abuses favela citizens, and sells back drugs and firearms to the drug trade. Because of this, the favela becomes scared of the police, which can make some places dangerous to be at which can make it easier for people to be killed.

In the search for suspects in the cases, the police are mostly involved in the brutalization of the family members in search of evidence to present in court. The use of physical force is dominant with the police and also there is destruction of property of the suspects who are involved in the police brutality. In the search for the suspects too, the police may involve the people through long interrogation processes which entails issuing of threats to arrest the people, eviction of the people and also threatening to lose their children in cases whereby they want evidence on the crimes. In the search of people with warrants of arrest, the police become brutal in a way which may make them promise things like funerals and also putting the people to emergency rooms for medication purposes quickly (Newcomb, 2014). The higher pressures in arresting the people according to Goffman indicates the failure of the police on the war against drugs which has made them to be brutal in such ways. The war against drugs according to the writer has led many people in prison instead of finding solutions to end the trading of drugs or to end poverty in many homesteads. According to Goffman, the agencies which are entrusted with the enforcement of law and order “address the significant social problems of able-bodied

This essay will examine all nine readings. There will also be insight given to why the United States entered World War I, and whether or not the reasons were persuasive. Other things will also be discussed, including: what America’s war aims were, and how Wilson’s goals were unrealistic, misleading, overly idealistic and moralistic. The fact that Wilson expected too much of international law and international organization. Also, why Wilson’s goals were not achieved. That the national interest is what should guide American diplomacy. There was also a lot of questions of loyalty and civil liberties that were raised by the war.

There are many types of religions in the United States, such as Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Religion helps individuals find their inner self and practice certain beliefs. However, regardless of the type of religion, every individual seeks to have their sins forgiven. In Johnathan Edwards’s sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Edwards is able to create a vivid imagery of what happens to individuals who commit sins. Edwards uses strong diction and imagery to make any individual repent for their sins.

The current drug policies and officers are very good at drug busts(Jones). Stopping trafficking of drugs is the current wars strongest winning points(Jones). The current method has reduced drug use and certain crimes(Jones). In most of the cases in the past the “no Tolerance”attitude has paid of(Jones).

The different goals behind the brutality and the different methods of murder is evident in each of the

The most significant aspect of sheltered instruction is that instruction is different from regular instruction but is on grade level and appropriately challenging (Wright 92). The teacher has established that the lesson is a SIOP History Lesson for newcomers. The SIOP model identifies 8 components that help in implementing an effective lesson. (Preparation) The language and content objectives seem pretty clear. Not very challenging but clear. Students will be able to describe the characteristics of Tainos. They will also read and use graphic organizers to take notes on reading. (Building background) The idea here is that you build on student’s prior knowledge. Using the KWL chart does help build on the student ‘s prior knowledge. I guess

The War on Drug policy, in its implementation, came along with the tools of war, such as Special Weapons and Tactical teams (SWAT), armored vehicles, assault weapons, and undercover operations. The communities disrupted by the war were those most vulnerable, where drug activity was more apparent, and often occurring in open air markets. These communities were in the urban areas of American cities, where minority and lower-class citizens of color resided. The targets were easy. The numbers substantiated the validity of the proverbial war. The result was an unprecedented increase in the incarceration of American citizens, primarily from inner-city

In 2015 990 were shot by police. From January to September 2016, it is estimated that 681 people have been shot and killed by police officers (Fatal Force). The incredibly high number of deaths in that short time span should not only shock one but give concern. Police officers are supposed to serve and protect, not be the cause of all the murders of the people they are supposed to be protecting. Police officers have gotten too comfortable in reaching for their gun when feeling uneasy about a situation. Many, if not all, of the murders could have been prevented if police officers were not allowed to carry any lethal weapons. There are various options in preventing these murdering without jeopardizing the safety of police officers. Police officers should only be allowed to carry non lethal weapons in order to optimize the safety of the people.

When I first had any thoughts about the war on drugs I believed that this issue had nearly been completely eradicated due to the tireless efforts of law enforcement. One of my preconceived ideas was that the individuals involved in this trade lacked any autonomy of what they were doing to their societies. But one thing that I never doubted was that those in charge of these drug-dealings were cunning and calculated people. Through applying various sociological concepts such as; the influence of race, ethnicity, bureaucracies, among other sociological ideas one can see that there is more to the war on drugs than people selling narcotics and people buying narcotics. An important sociological term to familiarize oneself with to understand this

Over the past few decades there has been a drastic shift towards an almost completely militarized police force around the world. Local, national and even international law enforcement agencies are militarizing to face modern day threats. Law enforcement agencies around the world have been forced to militarize in order to properly respond to the ever growing arsenals of terrorist and criminal enterprises. This will be examined through looking at the globalization of militarizing police forces, the violent criminal, problems with the militarized force, use of the military equipment, and finally the justification for using military equipment.

It is irrational to think that the death penalty – a remote threat at best – will avert murders committed in drug turf wars or by street-level dealers” (Bedau). This shows that the death penalty is not stopping murders from occurring. The introduction to the death penalty conducted a survey were top criminologists stated that the death penalty does not deter homicide rates (Introduction). “For 2009, the average Murder Rate of Death Penalty States was 4.9 [Murder rates by the 100,000], while the average Murder Rate of States without the Death Penalty was 2.8” (Introduction).

As stated throughout this essay, Mexico has taken a hit with the outstanding homicide cases due to this drug war.

routine; there were days when more than 100 persons were executed. Amnesty International documented 2,946 executions in the 12 months following Bani Sadr 's impeachment, a conservative figure because the authorities did not report all executions. The pace of executions slackened considerably at the end of 1982, partly as a result of a deliberate government decision but primarily because, by then, the back of the armed resistance movement had largely been broken. The radical opposition had, however, eliminated several key clerical leaders, exposed vulnerabilities in the state 's security apparatus, and posed the threat, never realized, of sparking a wider opposition movement.
