Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the crime indices of burglary in the Bismarck North Dakota Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) to that of the Macon Georgia MSA as reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in its annual "Crime in the United States" publication. It then discusses some of the factors that may contribute to the disparity between the two MSA.
From the Paper
"The rate of burglary was highest in Macon in this comparison. The rate for 2005 was 1,383.2 per 100,000. The rates for 2000 and 1995 were 1,235.4 and 1,104.0 respectively. There was one statistical change made in the sampling from 2000 to 2005. The metropolitan statistic area was revised. For the 1995 and 2000 reports Macon included Bibb, Houston, Jones, Peach and Twiggs counties. For the 2005 report, Houston and Peach were replaced with Crawford and Monroe counties. This had an effect on the overall population reported for the MSA. The 1995 population was 313,771, 2000 was 338,029 but 2005 the population was reported as 234,455. The later number must be disregarded when assuming a slowly increasing population trend. The trends are contrasted to the Bismarck data."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of burglary investigations. Specifically, it discusses the theory of burglary investigations, how "surveillance" is part of the stakeout, how to look for a suspect, how fingerprinting is a part of the investigation, and distinguishes between the different types of burglaries, i.e.: First-degree; Second-degree, etc. based on using a weapon or not. It also discusses the degrees of penalty, and how burglaries differ between day and night.
From the Paper
"Burglary is one of the most invasive crimes perpetrated on the public. It is also known as Home Invasion, or Breaking and Entering, and is defined as "The unlawful entry into the premises of another with intent to commit a felony (usually larceny) therein." How detective and police officers investigate this crime can mean the difference between solving the case and allowing burglaries to continue in the community, and unfortunately, burglaries are some of the crimes with the worst clearance rates in police investigation."

The Death Penality, 2002.
Argues that capital punishment does nothing to deter crime.

Abstract
In a society that is ridden with crime with no reprieve in view it seems that we are all too eager to accept that the death penalty will help reduce the mind boggling statistics related to criminal activities. Murder, rape, burglaries and other such deviant behavior has become so common that it is becoming difficult to have any human emotions of compassion. Juvenile crime is increasing and we, as a society are now considering punishing juveniles as adults. So the next time a juvenile commits a crime he or she may be liable for the death penalty. Such vengeance we have. Such emotions of revenge we savor. Proponents of harsh criminal sentences contend that the more fear the criminals have the less the crime. Yet, the facts do not back this statement. When we review the research we realize that the death penalty has no effect on reducing the criminal statistics of the states where it is enacted.

From the Paper
"The first national crime victimization survey in Britain, the British Crime Survey (BCS) was carried out in 1982 with further surveys in 1984, 1988, 1992 and 1998. In the 2000 British Crime Survey, close to 23,000 people aged 16 and over were interviewed. From 2001, the BCS moved to an annual cycle with 40,000 respondents to be interviewed per year. The BCS measures the amount of crime in England and Wales by asking people about crimes they have experienced in the past year. It asks about people's attitudes to crime, such as how much they fear crimes and what measures they take to avoid it."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the meaning of several poems by William Wallis from his Sonnets, such as "This is the Devil's Own Work" or "The Critic", in which the poet compares the act of criticism to a burglary. Criticism is seen as an act of scraping off layers to seek evidence and as similar to discovering the nature of a burglary by looking at the broken windows.
From the Paper
""This is the devil's own work, or the critic's" In this sonnet, the poet compares the act of criticism to a burglary. Criticism is seen as an act of scraping off layers to seek evidence and as similar to discovering the nature of a burglary by looking at the broken windows. The critic in this case is named Mr. Lane (whether this is a real person or not is not indicated in the poem itself). As a critic, says the poet, "His squint at the surface brilliance shows/ The success of my method and elbows," the elbows linking back to the idea of cleaning the windows before the house is burgled."

From the Paper
"Governments define policing in multiple ways. Depending on the structure of a government, whether democratic in nature, authoritarian or socialist, policing takes on many different forms. One may define policing in places like the U.K. as any and all actions whose purpose includes maintaining a peaceful enterprise within the land (MPS, 2007). In other regions of the world however, including in the Middle East, historically policing involves many acts of violence and radical activities engaged in to support variant rather than homogenous interpretations of what policing is and isn't."

"In life insurance the insurer agrees to pay compensation to the policy owner upon occurrence of an undesired event and the compensation is paid for the same, this undesired event can be death or accident or any other event which causes damage to the policy owner. In return the policy owner pays a premium, which can either be a stipulated amount or can be lump sum. There are many terms included in the most of the policies, one such common term is suicide, if the policy owner commits suicide the policy becomes null in other words the policy holder will be paid no compensation if he commits suicide. Another common term is the face amount; this is nothing but the initial amount which is paid by the insurer to the policy holder when the policy becomes mature."

From the Paper
"Jaworski disappointed Nixon by serving him with a subpoena in 1973. Nixon was ordered by the committee to furnish the tape recordings and documents relating to 64 White House conversations. Jaworski believed that the tapes contained valuable information that would provide evidence in the cover-up case. Finally, near the end of April, Nixon gave up the fight and released 1,254 pages of edited transcripts of White House conversations. Edited transcripts did not satisfy Jaworski. He insisted on the submission of the original tapes and documents that he had requested. Nixon began to reclaim that, as president, he had the constitutional right to protect confidential documents."

Probation: An Alternative to Incarceration, 2006.
A discussion on whether probation is the most practical method of treating large numbers of offenders.
865 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 30.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how probation is seen to be a viable alternative to a jail sentence and far less destructive than time spent in an over-crowded, corrupted and dangerous environment which most of the prisons have become, giving the offender a greater chance at rehabilitation. This paper reviews the specific case of a Mr Joseph Jones, who has been convicted of burglary in the community in which he lives.
Contents:
Introduction
The Case of Mr. Joseph Jones
Why Probation For Mr. Jones?
The Victims in Mr. Jones' Case
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the case of Mr. Joseph Jones, it appears that his offenses were not carried out as a result of any true criminal intent as would be the case for a career criminal. Since Mr. Jones was gainfully employed at his job at Tempura Industries for eight years (his employer informed the court that Mr. Jones was an exemplary worker and was disappointed to lose him) and during his tenure was not involved in any criminal activity, he definitely appears to be a valid candidate for probation. Also, since he is married (five years) with one child, Mr. Jones is obviously a responsible parent, due to providing for his family while employed at Tempura Industries.
In addition, since Mr. Jones has shown much remorse for his offenses and has offered to compensate his victims, the court should take all of these facts under advisement and recommend
that Mr. Jones be placed on probation for a period of not less than two years and not more than three years.
The Victims in Mr. Jones' Case:
After a rather lengthy interview with all of Mr. Jones' victims, it appears that they would be very willing to accept monetary compensation for their losses. For example, Mr. _______. mentioned that he would be satisfied if Mr. Jones compensated him for the loss of his television (est. value $500); likewise, Mrs. _______. also agreed to monetary compensation for the loss of her 5-carat diamond ring (est. value $2000). Thus, Mr. Jones, during and upon the completion of his probation, will compensate these two victims and the others by working at odd jobs. Mr. Jones has also expressed that he will diligently search for full-time employment during his probation period. Finally, all of Mr. Jones' victims have been told the circumstances of this case and thus understand why he committed the burglaries in the first place. "

From the Paper
"Dewey's Concept of Continuity Related to Growth and the Links between These Concept and the Undesirability of Proficiency at Burglary 1. The current situation in Toronto schools is one over which teachers have no control. Numerous students are sooner or later becoming proficient in crime. This development still illustrates the process of growth, which is a neutral term. Growth is a reflection of the principle of continuity, which intercepts with interaction to shape a series of situations.
