    Crimes and Misdemeanors, according to Conard’s article, poses a lot of important questions about the meaning of life and the existence of God. He begins his article by stating the plots of the two lives being shown in the movie. One in particular, of a man named Jonah where he questions his own values based on his life situation in that moment. Conard makes the premise that Jonah got away with murder because his views on God were not demeaning to his own life. Meaning that since Jonah did not actively follow God, like his friend rabbi Ben, he was able to get away with murder, guilt-free.…

    Kyle Good job by bringing out as what out text discussed, the two separate types of mens rea or intent. General intent, which is defined as the intent to do the act or omit to do the act.

    Americans today live in a country overflowing with more prisoners than ever, yet crime has been dropping since the late twentieth century. In fact, from 1980 to 2008, the number of people incarcerated in America quadrupled from about 500,000 to 2.3 million people (Criminal 1). There are several factors contributing to this problem. In recent years, America has taken new approaches to crime, such as the “War On Drugs” and the “Three Strikes” law. These approaches have drastically increased the prison population, to the point that 1 in 31 adults, or 3.2% of the population, will spend some time in prison in their lifetime (ibid).…

Thought his book "A Suitable Amount of Crime" he observes the vast differences between countries over what is considered a crime, and how those who carry out acts that are criminal are punished.
