Number of words: 1323 | Number of pages: 5.... matter whether it will deter the crime rate.
Supporters of the death penalty are in favour of making examples out of
offenders, and that the threat of death will be enough to deter the crime rate,
but the crime rate is irrelevant.
According to Isaac Ehrlich's study, published on April 16, 1976, eight murders

Internet Censorship Laws
Number of words: 1189 | Number of pages: 5.... Germany, Great Britain, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and all others pass those kind of lows the pornography won't be stopped.
