2. Organizational Issues:There are many political events regarding law enforcement officers, corrections officers, or court personnel. Each of these events is accompanied by occupational stressors in the criminal justice field. With each political event there are groups that agree and disagree with the ideas within the event.

3. Abortion:Americans do not accept the positions of pro-life or pro-choice.They rather agree with some elements of each. Americans will not be given a choice between the two positions.They will come to a compromise between the two.

5. “Illegal” abortions:It seems most likely that an abortion law with no exceptions would be widely disobeyed.This would promote a thriving black market in abortions.

6. A solution to Abortion:There is no exact compromise to abortion.Neither sides will be satisfied 100%.Both side should come to a compromise.If the compromises are broken the abortions then should be treated as a criminal act.

7. Guantanamo bay:A United States Naval Base located at the south-eastern end of Cuba. The US government obtained a permanent lease for the base on February 23, 1903 from the newly independent Cuban state.Persons detained at Guantanamo are legally outside of the United States and do not have the Constitutional rights that they would have if they were held in the United States.

8. Guantanamo Bay:Prisoners who have not been charged with any offense have been held in solitary confinement for over 18 months.Denied the right to:Direct contact with their families.Access to their lawyers.Subjected to constant interrogations by the U.S. military.

9. Guantanamo bay- prosTerrorism is the ultimate threat to a civilized society.Terrorism is international.Extended periods of detention would be closely monitored by High Court judges, who would not allow the police to abuse their powers.Technology and identity theft are now so complicated that it takes longer than the present permitted 28 days over which a terror suspect can be held to analyze computer data and check phone records.

10. Guantanamo bay- consThese long periods of detention would, inevitably, be served mainly by members of the terrorist community, further alienating young terrorists.It is unnecessary.It discourages diligent police work. If detectives know they can detain someone for three months, they have limited incentive to operate fast and efficiently.

11. Solution to Guantanamo bay:The perfect solution to Guantanamo Bay depends on your political beliefs.Each individual has their own opinion and no one person will be satisfied with another persons idea.
