Examine the current crime, incarceration rates, and the correctional population statistics for the United States and the state/city in which you live. Write a paper explaining the crime, incarceration, and correctional population rates within your city/state as it relates to the rates within the U.S. as a whole. Discuss contributing factors to crime and incarceration. Discuss whether or not the U.S. can effectively utilize incarceration as a deterrence method to combat the issue of crime.

Crime, Law and Morality

Problem
David’s mother is dying of cancer. She has been suffering extreme pain for several years and,
despite recent radical medical treatment, there seems little that the doctors can do to reduce
her discomfort. Her advanced years make it risky to carry out further surgery; and, in any case,
the cancer is too far advanced to warrant such intervention.
For months now, David’s mother has begged her son to assist her in suicide. He has resisted
her pressure, despite his deep distress at seeing her suffer. One afternoon when David’s
mother’s doctor visits her, David overhears his mother make a similar request. The doctor
replies that, despite her sympathy for the mother’s position, her ethics as a doctor prevent her
from taking life. In addition, there is no law in this State which would relieve the doctor of criminal
liability if she assisted in a suicide.
Outline 2021-1V1 Page 9 of 86
The following day, David’s mother again begs her son to help her die. Again, David refuses.
With this, she calls her son a coward and a disgrace to the memory of his dead father.
Distraught, confused, and desperately wanting to silence his mother’s abuse, David lashes out
with his fist and strikes his mother on the face, knocking her to the floor. Fearing that he has
killed her, and in a state of blind panic, David sets fire to the room to conceal the evidence.
In fact, David’s mother was only unconscious, but a later coronial inquiry revealed that she died
as a result of smoke inhalation.
 Should David be convicted of any homicide offence?
