.... the "Drug Abuse" in everywhere in the United States, from 5 to 10 million young people who are between the ages of 12 to 17 years old who are using alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs (Focus). Also, among of youths is also related to drug trafficking and criminal activity. Every year, government is spending a lot money and time on the crimes, drug users, and addicted. But government policy regarding illegal drugs has proved a failure after 25 years because of the forfeiture laws which allow law enforcement agencies to keep the assets they seize instead of focu .....

.... policy, which would punish anyone who is caught in the act of an alcohol-related crime on the first offense, such as drunk driving. Raising the driving age to eighteen instead of sixteen could also reduce traffic accidents in general. I think that sixteen is too young to be given power over a weapon as deadly as an automobile. However, since the legal driving age is sixteen, perhaps lawmakers should enact training requirements that are stricter for new drivers. For example, they could require more driving time with a certified instructor, or give them a .....

.... stooping down to their low level, and it wouldn't solve anything. Flag Burning disgraces all who put their sweat and tears to fight long and hard for this country's freedom. Those brave honorable heroes are the reason why we are the United States of America, and are the reason why we are lucky enough to bear a flag with such honor, nobility, and grace. Burning our nation's flag is dishonorable to those founders of this great country. That is no way to show respect to the people who battled to earn the right for our country's freedom. I know that the reasons beh .....

.... huge amounts of data, text, images, and sounds--also makes them dangerous. The pressure on the government to regulate the Internet is tremendous, and the implications of their judicial and legislative decisions will be far-reaching. Sex, Laws, and Cyberspace examines these battles and includes interviews with key players in both pro- and anti- regulation camps. The authors offer a spirited defense of the freedoms now under fire, and suggest ways to monitor the “net” without stifling it. As an example the reader must look at is Jake Baker who liked to write .....

.... a student to a four-year college. Due to overcrowding, more than ten billion dollars in construction is needed to create sufficient space for just the current prison population. "Building more prisons to address crime is like building more graveyards to address a fatal disease." (Robert Gangi, Executive Director, Correctional Association of New York) Ervin 2 Prisons take the nonviolent offender and make him live in the same conditions that a hardened killer would have. The very nature of prison, no matter how humane society attempts to make it, produces an enviro .....

.... public's fear and anger over this issue to a near frenzy. When asked in January of this year, " How often do you see reports of violent crime on television ? " 68 % replied " almost every day ". Although the media have played an important role in raising the public's awareness of lawlessness, crime in America is far from a media - created phenomenon. Government statistics support the image of a nation which has overwhelmingly lost the war against crime. For instance, in 1960 there were 161 reported violent crimes per 100,000 people By 1992, the figure h .....

.... the executive, judicial, and legislative branches to ensure that no one part of government gets too much power. Although this limits the power of any one person in government, it often slows down the ability of government because a consensus can be difficult with so many people working together. Another problem is that there are many subgovernments affecting the legislation as well, such as interest groups like the Sierra Club, Administrative Agents like the Environmental Protection Agency, and Congressional Committees.

.... would not decide to drive with a blindfold on. Yet, the Alabama state government needs to have power so it passed the "no driving while blindfold" law. Alabama is not the only state with laws that seem useless. In California community leaders passed an ordinance that makes it illegal for anyone to try to stop a child from playfully jumping over puddles of water. The fine for such a crime is fifty dollars and up to ten days in jail. Once again a government decided it didn't have enough power and thought that it might as well impose a new law to show its "im .....
