Research, Research, Research


In the Crime Report for the state of Vermont showed that between the year 2008 and 2007, the numbers were not any different. In the state of Vermont, they have two categories they report. Group “A” is when the crimes are more serious and there is a complaint to the law enforcement. Group “B” is when the crimes are less serious and only an arrest was made. In group “A”, crimes had increased 1.6% when compared to 2007 and in group “B” crimes had decreased by 4.2% when compared to 2007. The crime that increased more in Vermont was property crime. It had increased the most by burglaries and theft. Burglaries had increased by 11%and theft was at 10%, which decreased motor vehicle theft by 4% and vandalism and fraud were both down by 7%.

Questions to the Researcher for the UCR data
1. A prediction from now until 10 years in future, what will be the highest crime report in Vermont?
2. Could the state of Vermont do something in order for every crime reported to decrease instead of increase?
3. Would you say if people have more knowledge of all this data, it wouldn’t be so high and maybe help out?

Questions to the Researcher for the NCVS
How many different types of crimes do you receive a year?
Are your files confidential or open for any police department?
When you investigate, do children from the age of 12 to 15 get terrified or scared from the questions you ask?

Questions to the Self-report Data
What type of offenders would you say you get more of?
Is there a certain type of offender you would say has the highest rate?
Do you identify offenders or is there another department who does?


Minors should not be given the option to have an abortion without a parent’s consent. In other words abortions should be banned in Vermont like it is done in South Dakota. One reason why abortions should be criminalized is because in most cases when a female gets an abortion a heart beat is already formed inside of the fetus. If I’m not mistaken that’s called murder. Anything that has a heartbeat and is growing is alive. Another reason why abortions should be banned is due to the fact that a woman could risk not being able to have the chance to have children ever again. Most women make the mistake of getting pregnant. Instead of terminating the pregnancy try an alternative such as adoption or foster care. In addition to this there is a 50% chance there’s an increase in breast cancer .Every time a woman completes one abortion the risk of her getting breast cancer doubles, especially if you are under the age of 18 or above the age of 30.


Sexting is the act of sending a sexually explicit photo or video to another individual. Sexting in the state of Vermont is illegal if you are eighteen and under. Under Vermont laws all participants that are under age will be charged with child pornography, labeling these minors as a sex offender for life. These teens will without a doubt be prosecuted as a sex offender if caught sending an explicit image of themselves, even if it was consensual. A survey showed that many parents do not want their children prosecuted and labeled as a sex offender for a stupid decision. Many of these people have to take into consideration that as teens from the ages of thirteen to eighteen there will lie a natural physical curiosity for the opposite sex. For example teens all around the world are making the decision to send risqué images of themselves to other teens without out knowing the consequences of their actions. In my honest opinion teens should not be prosecuted for a stupid action that many adults have or will engage in, so these teens are only following by example. Teens sexting in Vermont should without a doubt be legal, reason being a thirteen year old female can make the decision to terminate her five month pregnancy without consent from her parents which is legal, yet that same thirteen year old female cannot send a nude photo of herself to another teen without being prosecuted. These teens are taught about sex education and how to protect themselves sexually. These teens are also taught abstinence and to find other avenues for their sexually gratifications, yet when they do it gets them in legal binds. Teens are also told by many adults, parents, and teachers including that at their age teens hormones are raging which will make them do many foolish things, these foolish things are risqué photos and videos. These charges should be brought upon the real sex offenders that commit a violent sexual act, not teens that are influenced by their peers, celebrities, and friends. Legalize teen sexting.

THE RIGHT TO KILL A DOG PURSUING DEER OR MOOSE: A state game warden, deputy warden, sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable, police officer or state police may kill by shooting with firearms, dogs, whether licensed or unlicensed, when in such close pursuit as to endanger the life of a deer or moose or found in the act of wounding, maiming or killing deer or moose. Provisions of this section shall be subject to limitations set forth in section 4710 of this title. A warden or other person authorized under this subsection who does not kill a dog under the provisions of this subsection shall if possible, locate the owner or keeper of the dog and shall issue a warning that the dog was in violation of this section and each future violation shall result in the owner or keeper being fined not more than $200.00 nor less than $50.00.


OUR OPINION WHY IT SHOULD BE CRIMINALIZED: Murder should be considered murder. No matter under what circumstance killing is killing. If the U.S. in “One nation under God,” then we should follow the 10 Commandment that says “Thall shall not kill.” It doesn’t state that there is a right time to kill. Killing is either wrong or right. There is no exceptions!!!!


PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL: It is illegal to consume alcoholic beverages if you’re under the age of 21. This law should be legalized because teenager have access to these beverages. Either way they are going to drink. It has the same effect on a teenager as it would to someone who is 21 years of age. They should change the legal age to drink alcoholic beverages to 18 years old. If we are able to vote for President at the age of 18, fight in the war and use weapons, why shouldn’t we be able to make our own choices in the substances we intake into our body.
