...White Privilege Where is my white privilege? I’m a 34-year-old white male, according to some I should be placed in a successful career, making plenty of money, with no record and living the American dream in my cozy safe community. All these are false. My privilege started at 12 when I worked for the family landscape business for 15 dollars a day. We are a family of 6 and to make ends meet my mother worked an 8-5 and matriculated through night school to a 4-year degree in 9 years and my step father ran a business and worked overnight at the paper. We started the couponing game in the early 90’s, daily we would fallow the master sales add and cut the coupons that where selected out of hundreds of copies of that day’s paper. That’s how our privilege...

...On April 11, 1945, American forces, including Harry, freed Buchenwald which in total had held over 238,000 people over its existence of a span of eight years. The death toll was calculated to be around 43,000 or more. Throughout his testimony, including his tales of bonding with the boy, he uses language that conveys his feelings during his experience, for example: pity. He expressed that he felt sorry he had to see the victims but was not able to do anything- and it truly leaves an impact on the reader- showing an unfamiliar perspective from a soldier on the Holocaust. After the Holocaust, most Jews had problems such as having no home, money, or family where they could safely return to, and so this meant they had to live at Displaced Persons. camp. The sand is a sand. At first, these camps did not have the best conditions, but they progressed as more political leaders inspected and invested in these...

...The criminal sanctions (Punishments) Prof. Dr. Ayman Elzeiny A - Introduction : "Punishment, "is a concept; criminal punishment is a legal fact." At the heart of all attempts to handle offenders are systematic images of human life and culture, including knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes regarding the human condition and the meanings, purposes, and ethical foundation and rationale of punishment. These ideologies or philosophical approaches provide explanations for the past behavior of the offender, guidelines as to what ought to be done with or to him, and bases for predicting his future after return to the free world. A sentence is an authorized judicial decision that places some degree of penalty on a guilty person. The responsibility for administering this judicial decision is placed with corrections. (1) If we take a historical and global view, the philosophy of punishment has been embodied in four major theoretical positions: vengeance, deterrence, rehabilitation ,and prevention. These positions overlap and intertwine with each other, but a degree of evolution is also evident. The comments made below on these four positions must be understood simply as broad generalizations. ___________________ (1) Gregory Zilboorg, M.D., The Psychology of the Criminal Act and Punishment, Greenwood Press, New York, 1968 , p. 97. - Ernest van den Haag, Punishing Criminals ,New York: Basic Books, Inc., Publishers, U.S.A, 1975 , pp. 14-15.

...Casualties of Law Enforcement: Homicide and Suicide Katherine Nielsen Buena Vista University Online Abstract This work is an overview of the increase in deaths of law enforcement agents: those killed on duty and those who kill themselves. As per a yearly report (Berman, 2014), the number of law enforcement agents killed while working rose almost a quarter this past year compared to years prior, especially ambush-style killings. Police officers across the country face potential dangers on their job, and they are a target simply because they are in uniform. As well, every 17 hours an officer commits suicide (Berman, 2014). This paper explores the correlation of the stress experienced by law enforcement associated with general strain theory (GST). GST is an explanation for suicide ideation for law enforcement officers. Other articles observe that police officers may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a critical incident or a traumatic experience. PTSD awareness is critical for saving lives. Why is there an increase in law enforcement deaths and suicides, and what needs to occur to change this trend? Keywords: post-traumatic stress disorder, general strain theory Introduction There were 50 officers murdered by shootings in 2014, a huge leap from the 32 such deaths a year prior (Berman, 2014). One officer killed is one officer too many, and this trend needs to be reversed. How does society stop this? Altogether, 126 law enforcement officers died in...
