Paradise Lost: The Child Murders At Robin Hood Hills
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Less than a decade ago, three eight-year-old boys were found brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. Their bodies were savagely mutilated. Inasmuch as the horrific crime put the entire town into shock, what was even more shocking was the manner by which law enforcement officials went about prosecuting the case. Thirty days later and no apprehended suspects, some believe that police began to feel the social pressure to locate the boys' killer(s); in their quest to close the case, they charged three teenage boys with the crime. However, what occurred shortly after their arrest is what had residents and strangers alike wondering just how just the justice system truly was in this situation. The writer discusses the Paradise Lost documentary. No additional sources cited.

Poverty: Problems and Solutions
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper delineating a complexity of problems associated with poverty. Suggests that these problems require a flexible approach to their solution. This approach must include traditional programs designed to meet the most basic of human needs but it must also include measures to address the more ancillary problems of poverty. These ancillary problems require such measures as the enforcement of labor laws, the provision of child care for single mothers and impoverished families, and a variety of other approaches. Most importantly, however, the solution to poverty is an reintegration of community and family, a break down of the barriers associated with economics, race and age. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
