Capital Punishment Essay Help?

Question by Nicole: Capital Punishment Essay Help?
Hi! I am writing a (against) capital punishment essay/speech and I would like to have some feedback. Tell me what you think!

The Deadly Truth

In America we pride ourselves on our sense of freedom and equality that is in the air but there is one thing that still plagues our society; capital punishment. Repealing the death penalty would benefit our economy, it hasn’t been proven to be an effective way to keep criminals off the streets and even convicted felons deserve a second chance.

Can My Friend Get His Record Expunged?

Question by : Can my friend get his record expunged?
I feel bad for my friend. He’s been trying so hard but he can’t land a decent job because of his criminal record. I want to help him, but I can’t really think of any way other than helping him to get his record expunged. Only I don’t know much about the law, so I’m not sure if it’s even possible. I don’t want to bring it up unless I know for sure he could get it expunged. He did time for a felony when he was 17. He had an arrest before that, there was jail time but no conviction (like he didn’t get sentenced to prison time) because he was under suspicion of committing another violent felony. That was when he was 14. So he has an arrest from when he was 14 and a conviction from when he was 17, that he was tried as an adult for. We’re in New York State if that matters (he was also arrested + sentenced in NY). So do you think it’s possible for him to get his record expunged? If not, how else can I help him?

What Does Law Enforcement Think of the Legalization of Marijuana?

Question by Itstartshere27: What does law enforcement think of the legalization of marijuana?
The Indiana police chief Paul Whitesell just came out and said he is for marijuana legalization.”If it were up to me, I do believe I would legalize it and tax it, particularly in sight of the fact that several other states have now come to that part of their legal system as well”. Also, 73 current and former police officers, judges, prosecutors, and federal agents to Attorney General Eric Holder at the Justice Department asking them to abide the will of the voters in Washington and Colorado. I also have heard personally, current, and former police officers say they wouldn’t oppose marijuana legalization. I was watching a documentary and a detective driving around the streets of New Orleans was saying how he opposes drugs, but that the problem wouldn’t be as big if the consumption wasn’t there. He believed that education is the best prevention, rather than prosecution and incarceration. I took criminal justice in college and my professor (who had over 30 years of LEO experience in NYC and became a detective) said the same exact thing. Now I do believe there are social costs to drug use, but marijuana should not be a Schedule 1 narcotic (along with heroin, meth, and LSD). So I was just wondering, how do other LEO’s feel about it? I for one do not drink, but I do smoke marijuana occasionally when I go out if it is around because I feel it is a safe alternative as long as I am not driving. Thanks.

Im a single mom with a ten year old daughter. I am a drug addict soon to be going into a 90 day inpatient treatment center and she will be going with me. She is at an age, that in my opinion ,shes to old not to question this but to young to find out her mommy is a drug addict. It will be very soon that I have to sit her down and explain where we’ll be going and i dont know how to, without it damaging her. And, at the same time I want to be fully prepared for the questions she’ll have.
