American Culture Wars: Real or Perceived?, 2006.

Abstract
The paper reveals that in a basic sense, the culture wars of the 1990s consisted of perceived divisive debates in America over social issues such as abortion, affirmative action, homosexuality and school curricula. The general belief is that such heightened social conflicts erode the possibility of shared public values and open, democratic debate. This study, however, argues that the culture wars of the 1990s were largely overblown and did not speak to a pervasive schism in American culture. Several key studies conducted during the 1990s illustrate that while the perception of conflict was high, little historical and statistical evidence exists to corroborate that feeling.
From the Paper
"Americans seem to have a perverse desire to frame everything in terms of conflict. At least in the last fifty years, there has been a growing rhetoric in the United States that characterizes everyday events and circumstances in terms of conflict. We declare war on drugs. We combat homelessness. We battle obesity. In some ways, it would seem that issues are not taken seriously unless they warrant the all-out rhetoric of war. Thus, it's not surprising to find that value differences over social and moral issues in American culture have been cast in the glare of battle. Lines have apparently been drawn in the U.S. as orthodox and progressive forces duke it out for bragging rights. From an historical perspective, though, the question emerges over whether or not these culture wars are real or artificial."

Organized Crime, Hate Crime, and Ritualistic Crimes, 2006.

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of community policing. The author says that for certain types of crime, such as hate crimes, mob-related crimes and ritualistic crimes, police must look at the underlying causes of the crimes rather than just dealing with the perpetrators after the fact. The paper explains why these particular categories differ from other crimes, and why these categories require a different kind of approach from police.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Organized Crime
Hate Crime
Ritual Crimes
Law Enforcement Perspective
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Community policing is a term that is becoming increasingly common in police studies and practice. This is a natural result of the increase in the responsibility of the police in a complex and modern environment. This means that policing has to deal not only with the effects of crime but also with the underlying causes of criminal acts in order to be effective. This is especially the case with regard to forms of crime such as hate and ritual crimes which have sensitive and far-reaching social implications. In this regard the responsibility of the police is being shared with other institutions and the community in order to provide a more adequate and comprehensive solution to contemporary crime issues."

Natural Crime vs. Legal Crime, 2007.

Abstract
The paper examines the seven classifications of crime listed in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. The paper determines which crimes might be considered "mala in se", crimes that are inherently dangerous or "mala prohibita", crimes not inherently wrong, but are considered criminal because their prohibition is necessary to regulate the general welfare. The paper asserts that the crimes in which human life is lost, in threat of being lost or violated in any way, should be considered "mala in se." The paper posits that crimes in which property or belongings are lost or taking away, should be considered "mala prohibita" because property is less valuable than human life.
From the Paper
"Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, as defined in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, is the willful (nonnegligent) killing of one human being by another. (www.fbi.gov) There are some homicides that are reduced to a lesser crime because there was no intent evident in the act. The intent to kill is where the defendant consciously desired to cause death or where the defendant intended to cause great bodily harm. There are other crimes of murder that are justified or excusable. An example of this is if an intruder entered a home with a gun, the occupants could murder the intruder and not be charged with a homicide. The occupants could argue that they were protecting their family from being murdered by the intruder."

»

Abstract
This paper takes a look at hate crimes. The paper defines hate crimes, provides statistics and provides modern day examples of hate crimes. The paper further explains that hate crimes are not only against the laws created by man, but also that of God.
From the Paper
" We now know the term "hate crimes" was introduced in 1985: clearly an act of commission, but how far back do we need to go to realize that these hateful acts have been apart of society since the beginning of mankind. In the bible, when we read about "The Parable of the Good Samaritan" (Luke 10:25-34); dating back to about A.D. 62, which has me to believe as a Christian, to be in a state of omission, and do nothing about a crime that has taken place is just as much a sin as the crime itself. It's printed in black and white for me in 1John 4:20, "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen but love God whom he hath not seen?" When we read Gospel passages like those in the bible from Luke and 1John, Jesus' message is direct and uncomplicated: love God, love neighbor....Go do it. Looking at the details in these passages can help us understand how Christianity and hatred get mixed up together. It provides us with clues about how to stay clear and focused on God's calling to love. "

White Collar Crime and Organized Crime, 2006.
A look at the reality of organized crime.
1,980 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at how organized crime is heavily involved in activities that are traditionally considered white collar crimes. The paper also discusses how there are several misconceptions surrounding the concept of what types of criminals are considered white collar. The paper goes on to describe the symbiotic relationship between organized crime and the surrounding society.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the most worrisome group of organized criminals is composed of the various terrorist organizations that operate within the United States. While they have some of the same goals as other criminal organizations, terrorist groups are not motivated by profit, but by a desire to harm individuals. This makes them more dangerous than other groups of criminals. In addition, terrorist organizations often use traditional means of criminal activity to develop their incomes. Most notably, Al Qaeda's funding has been linked to illegal drugs and weapons distribution."
"Fraud takes a tremendous toll on society each year; millions of people are victimized and billions of dollars lost each year to schemers and hucksters. Furthermore, modern technology has made fraud increasingly possible and profitable. Any person with an e-mail inbox should have an understanding of how pervasive fraud is on the internet. In fact, internet and telephone fraud is a tremendous underground issue, which "victimizes hundreds of thousands of consumers annually and indirectly affects our entire society by causing a loss of confidence in the e-commerce economy of the 21st century." (Morgan and Johnson, 2005). In fact, telecommunications fraud may be the most lucrative white collar criminal enterprise."

Abstract
This report focuses on showing how the leaders of the United States and other First World nations have blatantly attacked a sovereign nation with the sole purpose of extracting that nation?s oil reserves for the oligarchy and future positioning of the precious resource.
From the Paper
"Some history on the Iraqi nation has shown that they are and have not been financially stable even with all of this natural resource available. Iraq is actually an original member of the Ottoman Empire but was occupied by Britain during World War I. ?In stages over the next dozen years, Iraq attained its independence as a kingdom in 1932. A "republic" was proclaimed in 1958, but in actuality a series of military strongmen have ruled the country since then, the latest was Saddam Hussein.? (Iraq) In the mid 1980?s, the nation of Iraq created for itself a massive financial problem due to its high expenditures to support an eight-year war with Iran. Iraq also suffered mass destruction of their oil export facilities during that war which caused them deplete income and forced them to borrow large amounts of money from the world in an effort to maintain itself. ?Iraq suffered economic losses from the war of at least $100 billion. After hostilities ended in 1988, oil exports gradually increased with the construction of new pipelines and restoration of damaged facilities.? (Iraq)"

Cyber Crime, 2004.
An analysis of the relationships between Internet crimes, intellectual crimes, and cyber-crime.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Internet crimes, intellectual crimes, and cyber crimes are related to a large extent. It provides a definition of each of the terms and attempts to show how, in actuality, the use of the term 'cyber crimes' subsumes both the Internet crimes and the intellectual crimes. The intellectual crimes can occur without having the Internet, but with the application of the Internet, the intellectual crimes occur faster, often leaving no physical trace of such crimes.
From the Paper
"Cyber crime is an umbrella term that covers both the Internet crime and intellectual crime. In other words, cyber crimes are those crimes that can be done with or with the help of the Internet. For example, to gain unauthorized access to someone?s computers in order to deleting files, altering web pages, posting stolen credit card numbers, and making unauthorized purchases. In addition, the cyber-crime involves child Pornography or exploitation, computer fraud, Internet harassment, and Internet bomb threats. Cyber crimes also include money laundering and unlawful banking transactions, use of organized crime records or books, and bookmaking. For example, in one case, a suspect committed murder by changing a patient's medication information and dosage in a hospital computer."

"The Real Lincoln", 2006.

Abstract
The paper discusses the book "The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War", by Thomas DiLorenzo.
The writer evaluates DiLorenzo's central arguments, including allegations that Lincoln regularly committed war crimes against Southern residents. The paper further discusses how DiLorenzo misinterprets and misrepresents Lincoln's key policies, in order to support a specious thesis. The writer concludes that due to the book's lack of balance and failure to provide proper context, the book fails to provide enough proof to challenge the myth of the Great Emancipator.
From the Paper
"DiLorenzo's arguments, while provocative, are far from new. Instead, the author rehashes conspiracy theories that have been circulating since the time of the Confederacy. This paper thus argues that when held under scholastic scrutiny, DiLorenzo's historiography falls short of his goals of shedding new light on the "real" Lincoln presidency."

G. Nettler?s ?Explaining Crime?, 2002.
This paper is a review of G. Nettler?s ?Explaining Crime?, which defines crime and its causes rather than ways of stopping crime.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains Nettler?s analysis of crime and the response of society to crime, beginning with definitions of crime and continuing through an analysis of different types of crime leading to a consideration of socio-psychological explanations for crime. The author states that morals change over time, so the precise definitions, even of generally accepted crimes like theft and murder, will vary at different times, as reflected in the criminal code of a society. The paper points out that Nettler addresses the question of crime statistics, both how crimes are counted and reported and how society reacts to a rise and fall in numbers.
From the Paper
"The concept of rational crime is interesting as defined by Nettler--rational crime includes the wrongs we do one another in order to get what we want. Crime is thus defined as rational because it has a purpose, even though that purpose may be immoral. A rational act is something done consciously, and crime is something done from volition and so consciously. Rational crime can also be seen to have some reason for existence, and Nettler states that an "immediate implication of the conception of some crime as rational is a challenge to the popular psychiatric assumption . . . that crime is a 'symptom' of social and personal sickness". This is thus a counter to the medical image of crime and instead sees crime as a rational choice, a balancing of possible punishment against potential gain. Certain kinds of crime more readily fit into this view than others. Organized crime as it is usually envisioned would be a rational choice balancing these competing interests, while a crime of passion would not fit into this mold. A medical symptom would not explain high crime in poverty areas, but a sociological view of a symptom as a social lack that crime seems to fulfill would."

War in Literature and Reality, 2005.
This paper reviews E.M. Remarque's "All Quite on the Western Front" and discusses the U.S.A., its wars and the war on terrorism.

Abstract
This paper explains that E.M. Remarque's "All Quite on the Western Front", about young German boys in the trenches of WWI just after completing school, argues strongly against war. The author points out that United States of America entered the twentieth century as a potential super power and its participation in WWI proved its ambitions for domination in world politics; the U.S.A. was saved from the Great Depression by WWII but, in the Korean War, there was no real change of borders. The paper stresses that the ideology of terrorism and religious fundamentalism has nothing to do with political ideologies and economical basis of aggression.
Table of Contents
The Book: E.M. Remarque's "All Quite on the Western Front"
The United States of America and War
The War on Terrorism
From the Paper
"The horrors of the war as well as the death of his close friends had shown Paul the immorality and injustice of warfare: he participated in pointless military operations, stood one step away from death, he saw innocent people dying and shot English and French soldiers he bathed with during peace time. The main problem of Paul, his comrades and of all fighting soldiers from both sides was disillusion as they had no idea what they were fighting for. Their personal interests were not represented in the war, as they were not defending their motherland from invaders; they were not struggling for freedom but just were fighting for the private interests of their imperial governments."

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of natural crimes compared to legal crimes. The writer explores the difference between natural and legal crimes, gives examples of both and discusses which crimes are wrong in themselves and which ones are only crimes because they are deemed illegal.
Outline:
Introduction
Natural Crimes
Legal Crimes
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In civilized society there are natural crimes and legal crimes. While they are all crimes when held against the state, local or federal statutes they are viewed differently in the eyes of those who are mandated to uphold and obey them. For the purpose of discussion natural crimes are crimes that are morally and ethically wrong and would be wrong regardless of what the law said about them, while legal crimes will be discussed as crimes in which the only obvious rationale for them being deemed illegal is that the government has deemed them as such.

Crimes of War and against Humanity, 2005.
This paper examines the aspect of war crimes and looks at crimes against humanity.

Abstract
This fifteen page undergraduate paper examines war crimes and crimes against humanity, which are universally condemned as the most extreme violations of fundamental human rights. The writer notes that tragically, history has proven that atrocities and genocide are rarely prevented, for the international community is usually incapable of taking action, unwilling to intervene, or unaware of the scope of the crimes. Further, the writer points out that just as tragically, the infamy of war crimes and crimes against humanity is compounded by the fact that the perpetrators usually escape justice. In order to analyze why this is the case and assess what this demonstrates about the nature of international governance, the writer explains that it is necessary to acknowledge the inherent conflict between international law and state sovereignty, for independent laws and policies often prevent effective prosecution.
