Abstract
This paper presents a sample press release from a prosecutor attorney office to the press and public regarding the case of a man who was not prosecuted for a crime he committed. He was not prosecuted because the search of his residence was deemed improper therefore the judge suppressed all evidence found in the search and the victim could not identify the assailant. Many points of court and law are discussed.

Abstract
The paper posits that the concerns raised in Yamamoto's story are still prevalent today, for the threat of male violence against women still plagues modern society. The paper explains that the overall connecting theme in this essay reveals the dilemma faced by women in every era, for society itself produces, perpetuates, and tolerates male aggression, which is often manifested as violence against women. The paper asserts that consequently, female victims often feel overwhelmed by the futility of defending themselves and other potential victims by reporting incidents and testifying in court against their assailant.

Abstract
The following paper attempts to answer the question of whether or not a 15-year old girl, pregnant from a rape committed by an unknown assailant, should abort the fetus or not. In answering this troubling ethical issue, the paper also considers whether or not the parents of the girl have an ethical obligation to counsel her against the abortion, an ethical obligation to counsel her to have the abortion, or whether they should simply stand aside and let the girl make up her own mind. Ultimately, in addressing this problematic subject, it is essential that some philosophical theories be introduced so as to offer an intellectual framework for the discussion.

Abstract
This paper discusses the question of whether or not a 15-year old girl, pregnant courtesy a rape committed by an unknown assailant, should abort the fetus or not. The paper also looks at whether or not the parents of the girl have an ethical obligation to counsel her against the abortion, an ethical obligation to counsel her to have the abortion, or whether they should simply stand aside and let the girl make up her own mind. The paper explains that in addressing this problematic subject, it is essential that some philosophical theories be introduced so as to offer an intellectual framework for the discussion and the paper then examines Kant's deontology (with its emphasis upon the categorical imperative) and the theory of utilitarianism espoused by Jeremy Bentham, John Stewart Mills and others (with its concomitant emphasis upon "proportionality"). In conclusion, the paper shows that a deontological approach to this problem is too inflexible and unyielding and that a better resolution is to apply a proportionality test which recognizes that the harm which would be done to the young girl if the child was brought to term outweighs the argument by others that abortion is unethical.

From the Paper
"In the view of Erin Soros, the fetus arising from a rape becomes, at least for the woman or child who must bear it, a manifestation and reminder of the illegitimate desire of another. Additionally, the fetus is "a physical replacement for the part of herself that was lost through the trauma" (Soros, 1998, p.153). From an ethical stand-point, the woman's body has been violated by another and, to the extent that an abortion can heal the psychic wounds inflicted by rape, a woman is entirely within her prerogatives to demand that the product of sexual violence be excised from her being. For the young girl whose story lies at the heart of this paper, there is a utilitarian component to all of this; to wit, the suffering she would endure, and the displacement within her life which would result, from bringing the child to term outweighs whatever loss might be associated with aborting the fetus - at least that is Erin Soros' view."

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of excessive force used by police officers, a constant concern of the worldwide community, government, political entities and police officers for decades. The alternative to excessive force that the paper presents is intermediate force, which allows officers to capture suspects with the least amount of injury when force is required and ensure their own safety as well. The paper concludes that training and monitoring of law enforcement officers in the intermediate use of force, weaponry, and tactics will provide all police departments with more positive outcomes and ensure that the safety and protection of the society is achieved successfully. The paper includes detailed tables showing examples of force used and charts of assailant/officer action, mapping out the legitimate amount of force to be used.

From the Paper
"In 2002 the city of Detriot, Michigan underwent an investigation regarding police use of force and found that no definitions of force or the procedures that specified types of force were found in the city regulations ("Investigation", 2002, sec. 1). This led to multiple cases of excessive force that were reported to the city, civil rights organizations and the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Michigan. In addressing these concerns, the city attorney advised that the police department of Detroit develop stages of force that were applied to different situations, with intermediate force being a vital inclusion in those stages ("Investigations", 2002, sec. 1). The city attorney stated that intermediate force was significant because it allowed police to use chemical sprays and weapons other than guns as a means of maintaining peace and ensuring that arrests were made."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that since the first "alphabet soup" agency proposed by Franklin Roosevelt, the New Deal has been assailed as socialism in America, and as a break with history and the American spirit. The writer maintains that from the turn of the twentieth century until the outbreak of World War II, the threat from both Fascism and Communism remained all too real, and this paper aims to show that the New Deal's relative moderation in fact saved America from a revolution. By tracing the history of 'un-Americanism' and the official Congressional Committee tasked with rooting it out, one may see just how threatened the United States has been - and just how close the country came to full-scale rebellion.

From the Paper
"What does it mean to be 'un-American?' For most of the twentieth century, a congressional committee took upon itself the mission of defining that vague and often misused term. The committee went through different iterations and attacked different targets. By 1946, one thing was clear: the most un-American belief one could hold was that of Communism. Before then, however, the McCormack-Dickstein Committee, precursor to the House Un-American Activities Committee, had as its task the investigation of fascism and fascist plots. The very definition of 'un-Americanism' has evolved at an astounding pace throughout the twentieth century, and continues to change to this day. It was under the chairmanship of Martin Dies, however, that the committee took up the crusade for which it was most infamous and which would last for half a century: anti-communism."

Abstract
This paper compares Sir Thomas More's 2 works of "Utopia" and "United States". Both works together were commonly known as "Utopia" . It discusses the historical significance of "Utopia" and its attitude towards religion and compares how these ideas are parallel to the situation today.

From the paper:

"In Sir Thomas More?s book commonly known as Utopia, More presents an ideal society, which includes his idealized view of how religion might be practiced in such a perfect country.

"It is not possible to examine his view of the perfect religion without considering the times he lived in. Bork (1999) cited some interesting parallels between More?s era and the current one. More saw the common view of what was right and proper crumbling, particularly in the realm of religion. The Catholic Church to which More was devoted was being assailed on several sides. First Martin Luther challenged many of its core beliefs, and then Henry VIII, whom More was sworn to serve, formed a separate Church of England. Tynedale had produced a new translation of the Bible; church services could be held in English as well as in Latin; and the authority of the Catholic Church was being weakened (Philadelphia Society). Although the great majority of United States citizens today would reject the notion that there should be one, nationally recognized religion, many would see some similarities in our modern society and describe it as lacking a moral compass."

Abstract
The paper relates that criminal profiling material is useful in crimes not solvable by conventional police methods. The paper describes how criminal profiling has helped to reopen cases, has given shortcuts for investigations that have proved accurate and has also helped in the monitoring of known serious offenders in the community. The paper also shows how it is an imperfect but still promising science and discusses the challenges faced by investigators who are aware that many dangerous perpetrators are not in their data systems but remain dangerous to others.

Introduction
An Imperfect but Promising Science
Victim Testimony and Other Data
When Profiling Leads Nowhere
Concluding Discussion

From the Paper
"Matters of criminal profiling tend to have a certain glamour in public understanding due to various media influences. As McGrath comments "the popular image of the criminal profiler is that of a retired FBI agent who has written several books highlighting past profiling efforts" (2000:315). More accurately, one finds mundane persons involved in an applied social science rooted in forensic psychology and psychiatry, actuarial science, data harvested from criminal justice and mental health facilities, and information technology, towards plotted tendencies and patterns of use to investigators of usually very serious crimes whose perpetrators a strong risk to society. The field is also intriguing, too, for insight into dynamic and static forces, as criminal profiles alter over time while some patterns remain constant. The field retains knowledge from the 1940s as much as its practitioners are alert to changes in criminal patterns due to changes in society, how people fit into newer laws and legal systems, and what are seen as serious crimes warranting research or which bring repeated requests for information (Kocsis:2006:49-64). Criminal profiling material is useful in crimes not solvable by conventional police methods."

Abstract
This paper discusses the topic of the psychology of offenders. It incorporates a brief description of the psychodynamics of rape, including anger rape, power rape and sadistic rape. Experts agree rape is not a sexually motivated crime. It is a crime of opportunity, or anger, or power, but the sex act itself usually does not motivate the rape. The paper shows that in fact, many rapists enjoy decent sexual relationships with their wives or partners. Most experts define rape as any sexual act that both parties do not agree upon.

From the Paper
"They may also commit other degrading acts, such as urinating on the victim, or forcing oral or anal sex (Birnbaum & Groth 14). In addition, the rapist does not find sexual gratification in the act, rather they experience a release of their anger, but they may feel disgusted by their sexual actions. These men are often extremely angry with women for some psychological women, and so, they take all their anger on random women ("A Round-Up of Rapists"). These rapists can be especially dangerous, and they must come to grips with their own anger and reaction to it to come to grips with their violent natures."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the concerns raised in Hisaye Yamamoto's story are still prevalent today; the threat of male violence against women still plagues modern society. The paper maintains that society itself produces, perpetuates, and tolerates male aggression, which is often manifested as violence against women. The paper relates further that male aggression and violence is so pervasive and tolerated in modern society that resisting it often feels like a lonely, futile battle against overwhelming odds.

From the Paper
"In many cases, the reasons for the fear and reluctance of many modern women to report abuse, domestic violence or rapes are the same as the reasons cited by the women in Yamamoto's story. For example, the essay relates that Mary was assaulted on her way to work by a man "who came from behind and grabbed her, gave her a choice between one kiss and rape." She was terrified and traumatized, but doubted that reporting the assault would do any good, for she hadn't seen the man, could not provide a description of him, and did not believe the authorities would make much of an effort to investigate the incident. (Yamamoto 2-3)"
