Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of policing and corrections, with a specific focus on bounty hunters. The writer examines whether bounty hunters have too much power. The paper describes bounty hunters as an effective element of the bail bond process and explains that studies show that bounty hunters help keep non-compliant offenders to a minimum. The paper concludes that bounty hunters indeed have powers ordinary citizens do not enjoy, yet they are a vital part of the criminal justice system.
From the Paper
"Many studies indicate the importance of bounty hunters in the bail bond system. Author Reynolds notes, "Only 15 percent of felony defendants released on surety bonds initially failed to appear in court versus failure rates of 26 percent for those released on their own recognizance and 42 percent released on unsecured bonds, according to a 1992 Department of Justice study of the seventy-five largest counties" (Reynolds, 2002, p. 120). In addition, only three percent of suspects are fugitives one year of their release to a bondsman, while over 9 percent remain fugitives if they are released on their own recognizance, and 19 percent remain fugitives if they are released without a security bond (Reynolds, 2002, p. 120). Thus, the bonding process ensures more criminals come to trial, and the bounty hunters are a major reason for this success."

Abstract
This paper examines bounty hunters in the United States. It discusses their role in the criminal justice system and the power that they have been afforded, compared to that of police officers. It briefly looks at instances of bounty hunters abusing the power that they hold. The paper concludes that the best thing for legislative committees would be to do a better job of screening bounty hunters to ensure that they meet certain standards.
From the Paper
"They also do not cost tax payers any money, as they are privately financed. The bottom line is that those who hire bounty hunters must be very careful about who they hire because there are bounty hunters out there who will abuse their power. The best thing for legislative committees would be to do a better job of screening bounty hunters to ensure that they meet certain standards, much like what would be done when hiring a police officer. While there are very few schools available to bounty hunters, quick courses should also be provided to ensure the safety of the fugitive, the general public, and the bounty hunter. This is a very dangerous job so those who take it on should be commended and respected by society. This is not something that just anyone would do."

From the Paper
"What would it say to the women in society if a very feminine-like person was a top executive, the makers probably asked themselves? It would make all of the homemakers, the masculine and feminine, go out and think they could get a job and rise to the top. Moreover, having a feminine-like person as an executive, according to the filmmakers would be very bad. I am very glad to see that today, women are not thought of as just homemakers anymore. People are beginning to value women at home and in the workplace. The only question I want to ask is what took so long?"

Abstract
This paper explains that, although Procter and Gamble (P&G) has had a presence in India for nearly 15 years, it has not yet marketed its globally very successful Bounty paper towel product in this country. The author points out that, because currently in India paper towels have a very limited presence and because Indian families are often very traditional in their ways of living and culture, Bounty would have to become one of their social preferences for cleaning spillage and messes. The paper recommends that P&G 'piggyback' Bounty paper towels on existing distribution channels used for P&G's other household items and that the marketing team for this product should be made up of existing P&G India employees.

Abstract
The 1985 film The Trip to Bountiful (Masterson, 1985) offers insight into aging, changing perspectives on time during the aging process, many of the problems faced by older people, and issues of modernization, activism, and disengagement.
From the Paper
"The 1985 film The Trip to Bountiful (Masterson, 1985) offers insight into aging, changing perspectives on time during the aging process, many of the problems faced by older people, and issues of modernization, activism, and disengagement. The film thus illuminates much of what is written in the literature on these subjects.
Cox (1998) notes research showing an inverse relationship "between the degree of modernization and the status accorded old persons" (Cox, 1998, 1) which means that in the more industrialized nations, the older person has a lower status than is the case in less industrialized nations. This is something we can see all around us as our own culture celebrates youth to the exclusion of the old and has been charged with throwing away older people."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in "Unforgiven", Clint Eastwood plays William Munny, a former bounty hunter who reluctantly strikes out for his career's final coup de grace - the revenge killing of two men who have maimed a prostitute. The author points out that, hardened by experience, embittered by his fall from the righteous life, Munny eventually gives in to the belief that life is unfair, that men don't get what they deserve and that the world is a hard, cold place. The paper concludes that Munny, portrayed as a fallen soul, who pays for the sins of his past by repeating his past; isn't the brilliant marksman or the long arm of the law but rather a sad alcoholic who wishes he could change his past.
From the Paper
"Once the partners have reconnoitered with the Kid, Munny again must face his past. The Kid is holds him in a kind of naive reverence and reminds him of his earlier escapades, which the Kid has heard from his Uncle Pete. To these stories, Munny shrugs, looks away and simply says, "I don't recollect it." Yet when the trio arrives in Big Whiskey, and Munny falls prey to a fever, he remembers his past in ample clarity. In a hallucination he sees the ghosts of men he's killed, the angel of death with "snake eyes," and his wife's head being eaten by worms. To Logan and the Kid, he confesses that he's really "scared of dying." The Kid is shattered by the demise of his hero and calls him a "broken-down pig farmer." "

Abstract
This paper examines how some level of education in prisons can aid the inmate's later adjustment to society and evaluates how this is due to the fact that many are uneducated in the first place, hence their criminal past. It looks at how higher learning in prisons is a costly, ineffective and socially unacceptable way of dealing with an improper public higher learning institution. While victims of crime are harmed, offenders are given a chance for education that they may not otherwise receive. It analyzes how education in prisons makes a life of crime profitable to juveniles in two ways, through the bounty of their crime, and second, by being caught and thereby receiving a formal education. It concludes that higher learning programs within the prison institution need to be reevaluated and that the funding for those programs could go to better serve the community to solve the lack of education that is a major cause of crime.
From the Paper
"Probably the largest argument against inmate education is that of the image the programs give to the public. Many individuals involved in the criminal justice system come from low-income, urban communities. Many of these areas are also likely to have fewer resources in terms of educational programs. Because of this, an unequal number of the imprisoned are undereducated (OSI, 1997). However, the solution to this problem should not be to educate this group once they are imprisoned, but should be to improve the educational system of the urban areas. By placing the education system into the prison, the states are essentially reaffirming the public belief that the communities are not able to be educated."

Abstract
This paper focuses on privatization of policing and corrections, providing a history of privatization. Particular attention is given to bounty hunter abuses and the state of privatized correctional facilities, which is supported by research and an interview with a consultant to a California state senator.
From the Paper
"Privatization is the opposite of going public, which is the direction that many of our criminal justice agencies are heading toward. Privatization of policing and corrections are particular areas that have been experimenting with going private. Public agencies have been relying on private policing and correctional corporations to cut costs for services that state and federal agencies feel they cannot handle. There is an economic tug of war between politicians who are out to save money and eliminate state and federal spending abuses, while state and federal employees, particularly unions, are opposed. They believe that this cannot be achieved without reducing the quality of service and the elimination of much needed state and federal jobs. While these private companies are sometimes able to save money for state and federal agencies who are not able to provide these services in a way that is economically feasible, the officers who are losing jobs are up in arms."
