What is Bullying

Bullying is a way some take their anger or aggression out on people that have done nothing wrong. In some cases it could be someone being jealous of someone else for what they have like clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc... Bullying is also considered a harassment towards the person that it's being done too. Many schools have to deal with the fact that they are students that get bullied but when they try to speak up and seek help, no help is received. Bullying is a serious offensive and it's not something to joke about.

There are different forms of bullying, but it varies from case to case. Physical bullying is a common form of bullying. It starts off with talking about that person then turns into hate and the bully feels the need to let out their anger by putting their hands on the person they are bullying. Victims seen with this form of bullying often face physical abuse from their bullies. Physical abuse isn't only hitting, it also involves breaking someone else's property.

Another form of bullying commonly seen would be verbal abuse. Verbal bullying is saying something mean about another person or saying something that isn't true about them. It could be teasing a kid for having something wrong with them and making everybody else laugh at them. Threatening to cause harm to them or someone close to them is verbal abuse as well.

Bullying mostly happens during school hours, it could be in the hallways, at lunch, or even on the bus. Most cases are reported to the school but when nothing is done, the bully strikes again.

    Bullying is definitely considered a form of harassment for the victim. As sad as it is to say, it not surprising that physical bullying is the most common form of bullying. Most of the time that and/or verbal bullying is the reason kids and teens resort to suicide as their only option. Although most of the bullying occurs in school, I think that can be changed. If the staff were to enforce the rules more and encourage the kids to participate in more positive behavior. Taking certain precautions could help or even prevent future incidents from happening.

Wrongful Convictions

Over the years, the United States justice system has incarcerated millions of people. But most importantly, some of these people have been victims of wrongful conviction because of one reason or the other.

Exonerations based on DNA analysis have provided proof that wrongful convictions are real . Wrongful convictions result from systemic flaws in the criminal justice system some of which can be addressed. Wrongful convictions can be blamed on various factors, including. Eyewitness Misidentification.             This is the most significant contributor to wrongful convictions in the country. The human brain can fail to recollect the events as they happened.

Is the death penalty an effective deterrent

The Death penalty is defined as the punishment of execution, administered to someone legally convicted of a capital crime.A capital crime is a crime that is punishable by death. Capital crimes are mostly associated with first-degree Murder. There’s no doubt that that the death penalty is a punishment but can also be seen as a deterrent. If Its seen as a deterrent then why are crimes that warrant the penalty still being committed. Deterrents are meant to discourage someone from doing something and if that’s not the case with the death penalty then maybe other methods of punishment need to be explored. The death penalty has always been a relevant topic throughout U.S history . In the nineteenth century abolitionist movements were spreading throughout the states in the northeast and as a result, states reduced the number of capital crimes and built more penitentiaries. Another result was that Pennsylvania moved executions from the public eye and did it in private at correctional ...
