However, now I've run into the problem of transportation. Her office is located in Los Angeles, so yet again I am on the hunt for a more convenient mentor. (I still think I want to get a interview or maybe a couple hours with her.)
On a brighter side note, during these research checks I've learned many interesting facts (and stories) on criminology, that I had never even really considered. Here are a few that I can recall.
- In Connecticut, if you sell drugs to someone, and they die (whether it be accidental or suicide) you can be sentenced to the death penalty.(Pero porque?!)
- Reports have found that men who rape married women get more time in jail than men who rape divorced women (Why?!)
- About 30 government officials raided the home of a 60 year old man and killed him in front of his wife. Why? They admitted they just wanted the land.
- So much time and effort is spent on consensual crimes, that almost 20% of "real" crimes are left alone. Aka bad people are let off the hook because instead of prosecuting them, we're prosecuting someone else for petty parking ticket.
In other words, there's a lot of things wrong with policy in our law system now. (according to a multitude of criminologists who came together to write and argue within a book about it.)
In other news I also found a pretty rad book filled with quotes that can be useful later on. Not to mention the great voice this author has that allows me not to fall asleep when reading his book. In my opinion, whoever is able to write a book about law and pulls it off successfully, is pretty darn impressive.
In other, other news, since I've been reading up on a lot of reports and theories, I'm really lost and confused on how I'm gonna be able to edit my EQ, to fulfill the point I want to get across. Honestly I think I still have a lot of research to go through to truly get a feel for what I want.
Well there's my update, I'm not sure if this is what is really expected, but there it is.
