[ send me this essay ]
A 13 page overview of the different manifestations of aggression which occur among our nation’s young people.

Devotes particular attention to the problems of verbal aggression, sexual harassment, and acts of over violence. Defines each and examines the different manifestations of each which have occurred during the last few years. These forms of aggression, in particular, are suspected to be the result of deeply rooted psychological problems.

The Minds of Serial Killers and Stanton Samenow’s “Inside theCriminal Mind”
[ send me this essay ]
This 6 page report discusses three high profile serial murderers -- Angel Maturino Resendez, John Wayne Gacy, Andrew Cunanan -- based on articles about them in Time and Newsweek. For the most part, people are fascinated by the stories of serial killers because it is so difficult to believe that such murderers could live undetected in a community for such long periods of time. Dr. Samenow explains that there is little that can truly be understood about why a killer does what he does because he has a “fundamentally different view of the world.” The point Samenow wants to make is that what is truly important is to know “how” a criminal thinks so that society may find the ways in which it can better protect itself.

The Nation's Police Departments: Are They Black, White or Blue?
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper discussing the true level of integration—that of attitude—within the nation's police forces. In large cities, the police force is more likely to be organized along racial lines rather than simply being 'blue.' Such is not the case in smaller towns, however, and the populations of all those towns add up. Small-town America appears to have a much more workable grasp on the issue of race, and the combined population is much greater than are the combined populations of the three or four largest of American cities where police-department racism is a greater issue. In sum, the collective police force of the nation taken as a whole can be said to be more 'blue' than any other color. Considering the racial generation gap of public opinion polls, we should be able to expect that blue hue to grow deeper and more discernible in coming years. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

The Nature of the Direct Order in the Military

The greater knowledge of the present day serves to confirm the benefits of military protocol, particularly the obligation to immediately obey a direct order. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
