Abstract
The paper considers the arguments of those in favor of capital punishment, namely the issues of deterrence, cost and public safety and explains why these arguments are not convincing in today's environment. The paper looks at the Christian ways of addressing capital punishment by examining the Bible and the Vatican's beliefs that are mainly against the use of death. The paper discusses the arguments against the death penalty and relates that after considering these arguments and statistics, he believes that the death penalty in no way helps humanity but, on the contrary, destroys it.
From the Paper
"Capital Punishment or death sentence is the execution of a convicted criminal by the state as a punishment for his/her crimes. The earliest established death penalty laws date back to eighteenth century B.C in the Code of Hammurabi, which ordered death for 25 different crimes. Also, death sentences in earlier days were carried out by such means as crucifixion, drowning, beating to death, burning alive, impalement, boiling, hanging and beheading. Today the society, in which we live, has come a long way due to our experiences over the years and we today view the means and ways of death penalty during our ancestor's time as cruel, barbaric and nonsensical."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the unsolved, heinous killings that have taken place in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The paper points out that the numbers of dead and missing vary dramatically, and change frequently, but it is known that over the past sixteen or so years, hundreds of young women have been murdered, raped, dragged to remote desert graves and in many cases mutilated in and around Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, just across a bridge from El Paso, Texas. The writer notes that the killings fall under three categories: they are ethnic because the women are all Latino; they are of a "class" nature because the great majority of women are working class individuals; and third, they are of a sexual / gender nature because all the victims are women.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In other words, there is a bitter irony that Camacho wishes to address. Many of the products manufactured in the maquiladora factories are technology devices (cell phones, computer-related technologies) that a substantial portion of the economically deprived female workers will not be able to afford. Hence, these women are only pawns in the globalization game; they are not really participants in the more affluent global society, members of which feel a strong need to be able to download music and movies onto their cell phones, and carry Blackberry technologies so they can instantly receive and send emails, documents and photos wherever they are. Indeed, the poor women who labor in the maquiladoras are not part of any "civil society" - let alone a global civil society - because any sense of civility they may have experienced by earning a paltry $55 a week has dissolved in the river of ongoing fear generated by the mindless bludgeoning of so many young women in Juarez."
"Moreover, if these young women ever did enjoy a sense of Mexican citizenship, their bargain-basement participation in globalization has probably stripped them of that emotion."

Abstract
This paper provides an historical overview and an in-depth look at one of the most famous murder cases of all times. The author of the life after prison for Evelyn Dick. Many photos are also included.
From the Paper
"The Torso murder case is one of the most sensationalized and talked about murder cases in Canadian history. At the time the story was a journalist's dream, a story of scandal, mystery and the bizarre. The case became front-page material for months on end. Not only the public, but also the journalistic and publishing communities, were enthralled by the case. Now more than half a century after the crime was committed, the Evelyn Dick case still arouses much public interest. It seems, however, the public remains largely unaware of what the details of the case actually were and what transpired legally after the dismembered body of John Dick was recovered."

"Mexico Profundo", 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Bonfil Batalla writes passionately about the abuses of power within Mexico in his "Mexico Profundo: Reclaiming a Civilization". It looks at how beginning with the colonization by Spain and enduring until the present, the disempowerment of the group that came to be identified as Indian has lead to an internal struggle between the imaginary Mexico and the Mexico Profundo. It explores how the misuse of power physically and psychologically has been utilized to subjugate the Mexico Profundo and to attempt to destroy what is uniquely theirs. It also shows how Batalla writes that now at the time of the collapse of the civilization project envisioned by the imaginary Mexico, an opening exists for readjusting the power balances and forging ahead with the tremendous resources available within Mexico.
From the Paper
"Within the Mayan community of the Chamulas explored by Rosenbaum (1993), they have decided to have the elders of the community elect officials for their own council from those who have had positions on religious cargos and although the state?s council has final authority the Chamula?s council is able to make decisions in alignment with their value system. The Chamulas have developed a very strong cargo system and have found a way to empower themselves regarding civic politics and, thereby, have been able to feel the penetration of imaginary Mexico less than other Indian communities. Their cargo system is well structured, so although most of the people cannot afford a cargo, they can participate as assistants expanding those participating to about a thousand and, thereby, confirming the communal activity that reaffirms the Mesoamerican culture."

The American Economy and Serial Murder, 2008.

Abstract
This paper presents a research proposal that aims to analyze the statistical relationship between four national economic indicators -- real GDP (gross domestic product), unemployment rates, the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the presence of recessions -- and the number of murders attributed to serial murders between 1950 and 2000. The paper aims to determine whether economic downturns can motivate serial killers, like other criminals, toward action.

Expected Results
From the Paper
"After all, even if the study demonstrates correlation, it can not indicate exactly why such correlation exists. If we learn that there is a relationship between economic performance and serial murder, it may not be because serial killers become depressed or enraged by economic decline. It may simply be that economic fluctuations increase opportunities for serial killers. For example, a down economy may lead to increases in homelessness or prostitution, which would aid serial killers who prey upon those groups. In short, the "why" behind any correlation will have to be the subject of future inquiry. In fact, many future lines of inquiry could be opened by my research. I believe this research could prove to be an important first step in a new area of study."

"Exports and Local Development: Mexico?s New Maquiladoras", 2006.
This paper discusses Patricia Wilson's "Exports and Local Development: Mexico's New Maquiladoras", which studies the intensely debated assembly industry in Mexico, called the maquiladoras.

Abstract
This paper explains that Patricia Wilson in her book "Exports and Local Development: Mexico's New Maquiladoras", which she based on extensive field study of more than seventy maquiladora plants, compares Mexican industry with the more successful Asian industry to evaluate how policy initiatives could help Mexico utilize local linkages to draw on the local and foreign-owned assembly plants. The author stresses that Mexico needs to attract investors in the high-tech, high value-added industries equivalent with the "new" maquiladoras just as the governments in South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan are actively discouraging investments in labor-intensive industries in order to promote the industrial upgrading of their economies. The paper stress that subcontracting is an untapped source of great promise as demonstrated by the East Asian export processing zones, which create overflow effects in the domestic economy, increasing the level of integration between the industrial activity of the enclave economy and foreign companies.
From the Paper
"Wilson states that this obligates malleable production regularity and the promotion of programmable technology. It would permit a diversity of products to be constructed without costly retooling or exorbitant downtime. The work structure needs to be altered, as well as the connections between firms. A pliable work organization entails circulating the workers and attempting a diversity of chores. Commonly a group at a work station would be more efficient, instead of single people on an assembly line and implies that labor in descriptive rings focused on forecast issues and answers. Wilson adds that it is very important to establish and sustain an immediate connection with the suppliers and fusing computer guidance for the material flows and lower inventories."

Abstract
This paper explains that murder, according to the U.S. Code Section 1122, involves the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought. The author points out that justifiable homicide is an instance in which the accused is treated differently from other intentional killers because the circumstances present a good excuse and exculpation for the killing. The paper concludes that suicide, which is the act of killing one's self, is a major cause of death among Americans, especially young people ages 15-24.

"And even though the literacy rate in India has improved, the views on sex discrimination as regards prejudice against girls and women shows the country is not yet enlightened. "We have a great task in front of us changing the mindset of parents," Damle writes, away from "cultural myths and beliefs" that keep girls and women from full opportunities due to feticide and infanticide. Mothers often refuse to breast feed their daughters the writer continues, and this neglect affects the girl throughout her whole life."

Abstract
While all murderers strike fear into the hearts of innocent people, serial killers are particularly heinous and feared. Without exception, they strike victims almost at will and without mercy. Some kill without doing anything else to their victims; others, such as Charles Ng and Leonard Lake perform gruesome acts of torture simply for their own pleasure and amusement. This paper looks at those two serial killers and explores their acts and eventual capture.
