Eyewitness Testimony And Recovered Memories: Can We Trust Them?
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Children play an entertaining game of telephone operator, where one child whispers a short story to the next child in line, who then whispers the story – to the best of his or her recollection – to the third child in line. When the last child finally receives the story, it has typically been modified so drastically from the original version that it is wholly unrecognizable, a phenomenon of human nature that speaks to the differing perspectives any two people might have of a single situation. The same holds true with relying upon eyewitness testimony and recovered memories as being concrete evidence in legal proceedings. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Jeffrey Reiman/Rich get richer, Poor get Prison
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page book review that profiles Reiman's text The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison. The writer argues that the 2004 edition of Jeffrey Reiman's classic text shows that time has only validated the accusations that Reiman formulated against US jurisprudence in the original edition of his book in 1979. As Reiman points out in his preface to the seventh edition, "recent events continue to bear out the main thesis of the original edition of this book" (xiii). That thesis is that the criminal acts committed by the poor are treated a crimes while the acts of well-off people, which result in occupational death and disease, are not treated by crimes--"or if treated as crimes, not treated as serious crimes" (xiv). With the news filled with stories of white collar crime that robs millions of Americans of their retirement funds and financial security, this book is extremely relevant and should be required reading for all Americans--particularly in an election year. No additional sources cited.
