Insanity Defense

The Andrea Yates case was very disturbing and made me exteremly angry. I feel as though Andrea should of been sentenced to life or the death penalty. although she was insane she was good for a period of time and when she started getting worse again her family should of put her back in rehab. Insanity cases are complicated and should not be a good idea. If someone is insane they should be out into a mental hospital to be taken care of with proper treatments. Being insane is a mental illness, but that is no excuse to murder five innocent children. By believing she was a horrible mother and it is almost like she was almost possessed by something else. Insanity cases are very hard to deal with and should be taken into careful consideration. I am very against the outcome of this case and feel it was not enough of a punishment due to the actions that were taken place.

ending crime

Personally i think crime can be prevented but not stopped. Some ways we can prevent crime in our society is through the media. There are many videogames and television shows that display violence and crime. Children are watching this and learning at a young age what crime is and how to go about it. To prevent this from happening parents should monitor what their children are watching, some videogames should have a limit on them . There are many limitations on wanting to prevent crime, alot of time would have to be dedicated in the hopes of preventing crime. Genetics, poverty, and the media are all main causes of crime, by focusing on these three issues we will be able to attempt and prevent crime from happeneing so frequently. There will never be a one way solution to crime.
