Crime

Crime In the sociological field, crime is the breach of a rule or law for which some governing authority or force may ultimately prescribe a punishment. The word crime originates from the Latin crimen. Even in society there are always black sheep and these people are called 'criminals'. Estonia is a relatively safe country, although there are some situations, where people should be more careful ­ crime has been increased lately. We could count different type of crimes, but most common are smuggling and robberies. Many people like something, what do not belong to them. On the one hand, news are talking about shoplifting, bank robbery and vandalism. When looking for the reasons why people commit crimes I can only say what I believe to be sure of, and it is that individuals go against laws because they choose so, as criminal behaviour is a matter of choice. People want to have somebody`s

Illegal Immigration in America - essee

Illegal Immigration in America Essay Often the United States is referred to as the land of opportunity. No wonder a lot of people want to experience it – in fact a survey found out that about 165 million adults worldwide would immigrate to the United States if they had the opportunity. Unfortunately not everyone who decides to live in America does it legally and that’s where the problems begin. Illegal immigration is not a new issue in the United States. For many years immigrants have crossed the American border through Mexico, the Pacific Ocean or some other way. Also there are people who enter the country with a visa but stay for a longer time than it allows them to. Every day thousands of immigrants come to the United States and in March 2010 the estimated number of illegal aliens in the States was about 11 200 000. About eight million of them had jobs. But why are there so many illegal immigrant

This body is charred beyond recognition, but on the basis of fragments of clothing it is identified as Pamela Reeves, a 16-year-old Girl Guide who had been reported missing earlier. It soon emerges that Pamela had arranged to attend a secret screen test with a man whom she believed to be a Hollywood film producer, but who appears to fit the description of Basil Blake. Pamela never returned from the screen test. This leads the detectives to Girl Guides and Ms Marple solves the crime with the help of one of the girls she interrogates and with the victim's fingernail. The other detectives had jumped into wrong conclusions and would have arrested the wrong suspect but Ms Marple saved him from the worst possible thing that could happen to him. I chose this book because I have read Christie's books before and they have been interesting. I like crime stories and this book has got very good feedback from readers
