We met up with Al Capone and his followers to begin the rumble. We all stood there silently until the North showed up. There were only 5 of them and 7 of us. There was me, Gerald, Robert, James, Al Capone and 2 others, but I didn’t really pay attention to them. John and William The tension was intensifying and I couldn’t hold back and I began to run towards the North side gang. Then everyone else followed. There was punches being thrown and gashes to the arms and legs being given. I was terrified of what would happen to me and especially the boys. Taking into consideration I was a female no one was going for me. But I had already picked out the person I was going for. He had a tough, hard look to him. He had smoldering dark eyes with curly

    Summary Of Criminal Justice By Adam Foss

    The Adam Foss's video lecture was informative. I was impressed how his desire for prestige and power had changed because he realized that his decision as a young prosecutor could damage a person for life. However, I agree with him in his point of view that the Criminal Justice System needs to be reform by providing resources to help in understanding why and what gave the defendant the mindset to engage in criminal activities. Nevertheless, our prison system is not equipped to create a productive system because of its negative environment only just remake some of them into a career criminal. This is what I have seen and had many inmates to share with me during my assessment interview. Therefore, as Mr. Foss has stated if the Criminal Justice…

    Get Capone: the Rise and Fall of America’s Most Wanted Gangster

    Al Capone. Everyone is bound to hear the name at least once in his or her life. The charming, broad smile, the greenish gray eyes, heavy set, and five foot ten and a half; a seemingly normal man. Until someone notices the scars. A faded purple, still fresh looking, Al Capone’s scars marred the normal face, they gave a glance into the life of the notorious gangster. But who was Mr. Alphonse “Scarface” Capone? One reporter comments, “… Here is a man [Capone] who is an enigmatic, a man who nobody knows, not even his closest intimates.’” (Eig 198) What did the public think of “Scarface”? Katherine Geroud said, "It is not because Capone is different that he takes the imagination; it is because he is so gorgeously and typically American." (Mr. Capone Quotes) What was this mysterious man involved in? Al Capone was a complex man who controlled countless illegal businesses and somehow managed to catch the attention and interest of America as a whole.…

However Capone was not the only one involved with the illegal distribution of alcohol, the rival North Gang leader, Bugs Moran, was also very involved with the same illegal activities as Capone.

Capone’s involvement in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre ultimately led to his arrest.…

    Beanie Monologue

    I pulled my beanie securely on my head as I crouched down on a sturdy tree branch. My hunting knife reflected the dim light of the moon. It glinted letting my prey know I was there. "Yeah, I love a good chase!" I jumped from branch to branch as I chase my target. His brown hair was starting to gray but he ran pretty good for someone in their late forties. At least that's what boss lady said. I jumped down quietly as the man began to get tired. He began huffing as his pace slowed. I knocked into his back sending him into a tree. His chest heavily moved with his ragged breaths. I slowly approached him as I pulled my hunting knife back out. "Let play," I said in a deadpan tone. My eyes lost their light as I stared down at him.…

    Classical Criminology Essay

    There are many different perspectives and schools of thought when it comes to the study of crime. One such theoretical perspective is known as classical criminology, which can be traced back to the early 18th Century. Ideas of the Enlightenment which took place around this time, contributed to foundation philosophies of classicism (Carrabine et al., 2014). The notions of reason and science were beginning to take hold across areas such as political and social spheres of society, so unsurprisingly influenced the way people thought about crime (Bradley & Walters, 2005). Classicism reflected the fundamental aspects of the Enlightenment (science, reason, practicality) in the way it approached dealing with the problem of crime (Taylor, Walton, & Young, 2013). The methods of dealing with crime before the introduction of classical thought were harsh and unjust (Bradley & Walters, 2005).…
