  • Impact of Abortion Laws on Society: A Romanian Case Study

    In the 1990s crime was at an all time high, but suddenly it dropped to an all time low. Experts investigated and found that numerous ideas could have been affecting the decline in crimes. A strong economy, prisons, gun laws, and population to name a few. Levitt and Dubner ask the question, why has crime risen so high in the first place? A strong economy would often be linked to lesser crimes, but studies have shown there is no relation. The biggest link to this is during the 60’s when there was a ton of crime and the economy was high as well. Another false idea of why crimes dropped in the 90s, is the justice system. Criminals were now being convicted for longer sentences. Criminals who would have originally got off the hook for doing drugs were now in prison; many other sentences got increased as well. This lead to more than two million people in prison (Levitt and Dubner, 2009). The increase of punishment for criminals quadrupled between the 80s and 90s (Levitt and Dubner, 2009). The first flaw the authors speak of is that executions are long and drawn out. Death row now only has a 2% execution rate while getting killed by a gang is 7% chance. (Levitt and Dubner, 2009). The second flaw is that capital punishment is more obvious. One criminal getting executed means seven fewer homicides (Levitt and Dubner,

  • Canada's Justice System

    1452 Words  | 3 Pages

    The death penalty, also known as the “capital punishment”, used to be legal in Canada. Most people were publicly hanged. After the Confederation of Canada, the reasons people were hanged were minimized and so only three crimes resulted in execution; rape, murder, and high treason. Although it wasn’t long after the Criminal Code of Canada was made that confederation occurred. Confederation which occurred in 1867 was when the provinces Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec united to form Canada. Joseph-Albert Guay (more commonly known as “Albert Guay”) was a man who got hanged on January 12th, 1951. He lived in Quebec City and was responsible for bombing a passenger flight on September 9, 1949, killing 23 people and his wife Rita, the intended victim. The crime was called “Guay’s Affair”. He was accompanied by Marguerite Pitre, the last woman hanged in Canada. She died on January 9, 1953 in Montreal, Quebec. They were only two of the 710 people who were executed in Canada...

  • Violent Crime Research Paper

    1874 Words  | 4 Pages

    Many observers have drawn a simple correlation between these two trends. Putting more offenders in prison caused the reduction in crime. The Sentencing project has just completed a study that examines this issue in great detail and concludes that any such correlation is ambiguous at best. In examining the relationship between incarceration and crime in the 1990s the picture is complicated by the seven year period just prior to this, 1984-91. In this period, incarceration also rose substantially, at a rate of 65%. Yet crime rates increased during this time as well, by 17% nationally. Thus we see a continuous rise in incarceration for fourteen years, during which crime rose for seven years, then declined for seven years. This does not suggest that incarceration had no impact on crime, but any such connection is clearly influenced by other factors. A comparison with other nations is instructive in this rega...

Whether it be that they are low on money or that they have a brutal relationship with someone, they know the consequence will never be as grave as a death penalty in Canada. However, what if that changed? What if the punishment of homicide lead to the death penalty? Criminals might re-consider the consequence of executing the crime and decisively disregard it due to the very dreadful amercement. The death penalty could save lives of the criminals as well as their victims. Hence, the death penalty is an adequate way to make criminals bethink their crime and it could potentially ...
