Abstract
The paper discusses the case of Jose Padilla, arrested on May 8, 2002 because it was believed that he was conspiring with Al Qaeda Terrorist to detonate a radioactive "dirty bomb" within the U.S. The paper shows that Padilla?s arrest and subsequent imprisonment has been the subject of an on-going legal debate and at the present time Padilla is being held as an enemy combatant, which means that he is subject to Military Tribunal instead of the civil court system and can be held without being charged until the War On Terrorism is over. The essay discusses both sides of this legal debate and determines which viewpoint is the most constitutional and credible.
From the Paper
"Many legal experts believe that the U.S. does not have grounds to hold him as an enemy combatant. They contend that his imprisonment is unconstitutional because he is being held even though he has not been charged with a crime. Padilla?s lawyer believes that he is in custody based on information that is circumstantial and that he should be released. They also believe that his detainment is based on the idea that he may be able to provide investigators with important information about forthcoming terrorist attacks on the country."

Abstract
Wrongful arrest due to seizure activity in public is not an uncommon complication for individuals with epilepsy and other seizure disorders, not caused by illicit behaviors. There are over two millions Americans living with epilepsy, all of whom at some time have experienced challenges associated with their disease and many of whom have been the victims of wrongful arrest and incarceration. This work addresses the problem of wrongful arrests for seizure-related behavior in public, the degree of the problem and some possible solutions to the problem.
From the Paper
"Though efforts have been made to educate and assist individuals and to train professionals who are called to the scene, individuals with seizure disorders are often innately aware that there is something wrong, and they are therefore resistant to assistance, and especially restraint which can be perceived as resisting arrest. This problem has been documented for centuries and would have been significantly worse in the past as less seizure suppression medication was available to patients and the social stigma of the problem was even greater, for both the individual and the family."

Abstract
This paper discusses the differences between an arrest and detention, explaining that a key distinction between the two is that only arrests require probable cause. The paper examines legal information regarding the definition of an arrest and detention and explains some of the difficulties associated with differentiating the two.
From the Paper
"Early decisions of the Court suggested that an arrest occurred any time the police restricted a person's movement. See Henry v. United States, 361 U.S. 98 (1959). Under this definition, an arrest would happen anytime the police even talked to a suspect if the suspect unilaterally thought he was not free to leave. Id. In Henry v. United States, the Court found that an arrest occurred when police stopped a car whose occupants were suspected of transferring stolen liquor. According to the Court, "when the officers interrupted the two men and restricted their liberty of movement, the arrest, for purposes of this case, was complete." The Court ultimately ruled that since the police did not have probable cause at that moment, their action was unconstitutional."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In response to rising crime rates during the last half of the 20th century, law enforcement agencies across the country engaged in a wide range of reforms in an effort to reduce crime and improve public confidence in their safety. These issues became all the more critical following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and as a result, a number of police departments have hired additional staff, many using federal funds specifically allocated for the purpose. One of the goals of these initiatives was to improve overall arrest rates as a measure of law enforcement effectiveness in carrying out their duties; however, because the decision to arrest is based on a wide range of frequently changing social and administrative factors, studies have shown time and again that there is little, if any, correlation between actual police response times to criminal scenes and the percentage of people who are arrested as a result."

Abstract
This paper discusses how racism sometimes negatively impacts on the arrest procedures used by police. According to statistics, blacks in the USA have far more than their share of arrests, relative to their population percentage. This paper further points out that this also appears to be true in most countries. For example, a study conducted in 1998 in England showed that blacks were 7.5 times more likely than whites to be stopped by police officers and searched.

Arrested Development and Rape in Orangutans, 2002.
A general overview of the trait of arrested development and its result, rape, in orangutan populations.

Abstract
The paper investigates a unique characteristic found within the development of male orangutans whereby the reaching of complete maturity and adulthood among a portion of orangutan males, both in the wild and captivity, is held off and slowed down by natural means. The paper explains how developmentally arrested orangutans remain subadults, smaller and less physically mature than their fully grown adult male counterparts. It explores a number of studies which have been conducted to attempt to determine the reasons and causes for what is often called bimaturism. The paper shows that because of the lower status of subadult males, female orangutans prefer to copulate with dominant, fully mature males. Often, in order to receive sexual gratification, subadult orangutans force unwilling females to have sex and the act of rape is extremely common among orangutans. The paper shows how a number of studies have been conducted in order to better understand the reasons for bimaturism and the effects of the trait on orangutan populations and the species as a whole.
From the Paper
"Because of their solitary, illusive nature, it is often difficult to observe orangutans in the wild. It was previously believed that orangutan males reached puberty sometime between the ages of seven and nine. Researchers thought that developing males would spend a few years in an intermediate stage, before becoming a full grown adult sometime between twelve and fourteen. However, after populations were established in zoos, scientists noted that subadults would remain in the arrested development stage as long as a dominant male was present. When the fully mature male was removed, the subadult males would physically develop the traits of dominant males, most notably the wide cheek pads, and long, brightly colored hair."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Jose Marti is considered by many as one of the most influential writers in the Hispanic world. The paper explains that Marti used his personal experiences to conceptualize his political position with his well-articulated political views. The paper details his background and political beliefs. The paper highlights the timeline of his youth, the greater connection of his upbringing with the transforming texture of Cuba and his location in Havana. The paper maintains that these factors all influenced Marti to become a unique player in the Cuban Revolution whose legacy lives on until today.
From the Paper
""A genuine man goes to the roots," Marti wrote. "To be a radical is no more than that: to go to the roots." For Jose Julia Marti Perez, those roots began on January 28, 1853 in Havana, then still the capital city of a Spanish colony. Marti's parents were both Spanish, his mother from the Canary Islands, and his large family included seven younger sisters, with whom the family moved from Cuba to Valencia and back to Havana while Jose was still very young. The early exposure to both the political anti-colonial movements burgeoning in Cuba and the new artistic rebirth of the Eclecticism epoch overwhelmed Spain. In the heat of this rekindling of arts and ideologies, Marti explored his creative bent after enrolling in a local Cuban public school."

From the Paper
"For society to function properly it must be able to place the utmost trust in those it chooses to protect and to serve its members. The ability to trust police officers and others who are charged with leading the moral path is essential to the continued growth and development of the nation. When a trusted official breaks the law it sends shock waves through society. Constable Robert Hagan II has been charged with stealing from the United States government. His case has made national news because he is a trusted elected official and as such expected to hold himself to a higher standard than the average resident. His case is being watched closely by media and laymen alike as he goes through the process he was supposed to help implement and uphold."

"Pocho" by Jose Antonio Villarreal, 2008.
A review of Jose Antonio Villarreal's novel "Pocho" that details the painful process of assimilation of new immigrants into America.

Abstract
The paper discusses the 1959 novel "Pocho" by Jose Antonio Villarreal that shows the political as well as the economic reasons for Mexican-American difficulties with assimilating into American society. The paper explores how the immigrant son, Richard, experiences the classical American identity crisis that particularly afflicts recent immigrants and members of races deemed to be 'minorities.' The paper posits that Pocho is perhaps most useful to us today as an example of how far America has come, in terms of racial and cultural understanding. The paper adds that this novel also acts as a reminder of how second generation immigrants will have a different relationship with their home nation than their parents, often causing inter-family tensions.

From the Paper
"The 1959 novel Pocho by Jose Antonio Villarreal is a quintessentially American novel in the ways that it details the often painful process of assimilation of a new immigrant group into America. Pocho details the migration of the Rubio family heading north from Mexico after the Mexican Revolution. It portrays the family as leaving Mexico as part of a general migration pattern, typical of previous generations of American immigrants. The Rubio family "came on--insensitive to the fact that even though they were not stopped, they were not really wanted. It was the ancient quest for El Dorado, and so they moved onward, west to New Mexico and Arizona and California, and as they moved, they planted their new seed" (Villarreal 15). Yet unlike previous immigrants the Rubios almost immediately encounter racism, and learn the sad lesson that a Mexican-American must never call a white man a liar."

Abstract
This paper reviews literature surrounding the issue of domestic violence. In particular, the work of Erin L. Han entitled "Mandatory Arrest and No-Drop Policies: Victim Empowerment in Domestic Violence Cases" is examined. This paper questions why domestic violence is a continued problem despite specific laws designed to prosecute perpetrators. Additionally, the author compares the length of sentences for males and females accused of domestic violence.
From the Paper
"The work of Erin L. Han entitled: "Mandatory Arrest and No-Drop Policies: Victim Empowerment in Domestic Violence Cases" states that "In recent decades, arrest and prosecution have been applied to perpetrators of domestic violence with increasing severity, representing an important step in recognizing domestic violence as a crime. Some jurisdictions have taken the war against domestic violence a step further, by employing aggressive "mandatory arrest" and "no-drop prosecution" policies." (n.d.) Han notes that the "...modern campaign against domestic violence" has "waged" for over forty years and yet "...the statistics are still appalling." (Ibid) Han states additionally the fact that approximately "two million American women are victims/survivors of domestic violence at the hands of their male partners." (Ibid) "

Arresting The Menace of Drug Abuse, 2007.
This paper explores the extent of drug and other substance abuse in the United States today.

Abstract
The paper discusses how in the United States, drug and other substance abuse has been a persistent problem for many years. The paper describes how this type of abuse has not only an immediate impact on the health of the user, but also has several far reaching consequences for the user and his family. The paper discusses the usage of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamines. The paper shows how studies have revealed a gradual decrease in drug abuse among the general population, because of the commitment shown by teachers, parents, counselors, the state and the users themselves. The paper concludes that one hopes this trend will continue and the menace of drug abuse can be arrested, at least to a certain extent.
From the Paper
"Several studies have been carried out on the subject, in the hope of finding a permanent solution to the grave problem, but none have been able to achieve great success. For example, a group, 'Monitoring the Future Study' has been making attempts to track the problem of drug abuse among high school seniors, from 1975 onwards. In the year 1991, the group started to survey even eighth and tenth graders to study drug abuse among this younger population. It was discovered that in the graduating class of 1996, about 50.8 percent of the students had used an illicit drug by the time they reached their senior year of high school, and this was indicative of a continuing upward trend of drug abuse, from a 40.7 percent in the year 1992."

Jose Antonio Villareal's " Pocho", 1999.
Reviews this novel about the assimilation of a Mexican-American family.

»

From the Paper
"Jos? Antonio Villareal, in his novel Pocho, examines the subject of assimilation as it applies to the experiences of Richard Rubio and his parents and sisters. The Rubios are Mexicans attempting to start a new life in the United States, and the novel chronicles the difficulties they face. Because the story focuses on Richard, it is as much a coming-of-age story as one about assimilation. In fact, assimilation involves a coming-of-age for adults as well as children, for the need to adapt to the new culture, while holding onto as much of the old culture as possible, results in a "new" individual as much as coming-of-age does. The author presents the subject of assimilation realistically, without romantic illusions about the degree to which the Mexican characters maintain their own culture in the midst of American culture."

From the Paper
" Jose E. Limon, in Dancing with the Devil: Society and Cultural Poetics in Mexican-American South Texas, identifies himself as "an anthropological folklorist" (ix). He qualifies himself in personal terms with reference to his lower-working-class background among "the people of Mexican descent of southern Texas." The basic issues of his unique work are the primacy of the Church; the "superstitious" character of Mexicans; the unquestioned rule of "anglos"; the "natural" submissiveness of women; the monolithic character of Mexican culture itself (x)
.
This personal background melded with his educational training at the University of Texas at Austin, the UCLA Chicano Studies Center, the Stanford University Humanities Center, and other universities and grant programs which furthered his.."
