Should the insanity plea be abolished?
Opinion
No, it is not if it is used appropriately. Under federal law in the United States, at the time of the commission of the acts constituting the offense, the defendant must prove that as a result of a severe mental disease or defect, he/she was unable to appreciate the nature and quality or the wrongfulness of his/her acts. Mental disease or defect does not otherwise constitute a defense.
Under state laws, four states, including Kansas, Montana, Idaho, Utah, do not allow the insanity defense. In other states the standard of proof varies. Generally, the defendant must prove they did not have the capacity to conform their actions to the law or understand the consequences. See related links.
Opinion
Of course not, in reality. It's a very rare defense and seldom successful. It's the nature of the accused's intent at the time that must be proven by the defendant's to be successful. Hence, it's called an affirmative defense, meaning it requires proof of claim rather than assumption of claim.
The three factors that increase the probability of fraud?
According to Merriam Webster's Dictionary, Fraud is the intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another [person or company] to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right. This can be either through statements or conduct. The probability of fraud occurring is largely based on human factors and has less to do with account balances or the nature of the business conducted. Donald Cressey developed the concept of the Fraud Triangle while working on his doctoral thesis at Indiana University in the 1950s. The triangle was a visual representation of the three main factors that he indicated had to be in place for fraud to occur. These were as follows:
1) Perceived Opportunity: This can be as simple as an open safe in the office, access to inventory or the ability to manipulate the general ledger. A person has to visualize an opportunity for gain.
2) Incentive/Pressure: People can feel pressure to achieve sales numbers or pay medical bills for a sick family member. The things that pressures one person may not affect someone else so these are relatively subjective. The incentive can be simply greed or desire to maintain a lifestyle beyond someone's means.
3) Attitude/Rationalization: Cressey indicated that humans need to feel their actions are justified. Examples of rationalizations are that "the company owes me for working all these hours", or "this person is rich and they will never miss the money."
The probability of Fraud occurring is a balance between these three factors and mitigating controls within the organization. For example, a company may require an individual to work behind a counter with access to inventory and a cash register. This may be a necessary risk to conduct business, but regular cash counts, periodic inventories and security cameras my reduce the perception of opportunity. Paying a fair wage and benefits commensurate with the market may reduce incentive or pressure. Also, establishing realistic sales goals and compensation structures may lower employee pressure to commit fraud. Finally, the rationalization factor can be mitigated by a strong tone at the top (lead by example) and a clearly conveyed code of conduct. Examining your organization's controls from the standpoint of these human factors may assist you in determining the overall probability of fraudulent behavior within your organization.

Why or why not should the death penalty be allowed?
Yes of course! "Killing the criminal will not bring back dead people." Now, I ask, who has ever argued that the death penalty brings back dead people? I've never heard anybody make that argument in my entire life. When anti-death penalty people make this argument, it only shows that they have too little to argue with--that is why they argue against an argument that is never made. The only people I've ever heard the "won't bring the victim back to life" argument from are the death penalty opponents themselves. (More on this below.) "It is wrong to kill people, period." So people like Hitler should have lived? If you see a person killing people he should be allowed to live? You death penalty opponents don't believe this absolute statement, and you need to stop making it. "Having the death penalty cheapens life." No, having the death penalty indicates how highly we value life, and it shows how little we tolerate those who in fact don't value life. "The death penalty is legalized murder." This is where death penalty opponents try to make a legal argument and end up showing that they know nothing about legal arguments. Legal killing is not murder. Murder is a legal term to describe the unlawful taking of life. Get a clue, people: "legalized murder" is a contradiction in terms. "If it's wrong for people to take life, then it's wrong for the state to take life." This argument is so silly it makes me wonder whether the people making it are just plain stupid or hugely dishonest. They don't believe it, anyway. After all, it's wrong for me to steal money from people--so does that mean governments cannot tax? Can governments not impose and collect fines for traffic violations? It's wrong for me to lock somebody up in a room for years, so does that mean governments can't put people in jail? This argument totally ignores the purpose and nature of an action, whether it be by the government or by an individual. How can some people seriously compare cold blooded murder of totally innocent people with the death penalty as applied to somebody who has committed horrible crimes? They are not equivalent acts. "Innocent people might be executed." This is a good point, when it applies to innocent people. Nobody in his right mind believes innocent people should be executed. But when it comes to people who are unquestionably guilty, this argument doesn't apply. "We should not execute people because they might have had a bad childhood." Give me a break! This argument makes such a blanket assumption that it is insulting to people who have had unhappy childhoods but still don't go on killing sprees. "If you really want to punish somebody, use life in prison, because that's harsher than the death penalty." This is supposed to be an argument coming from people who proclaim their compassion? They are proposing what they say is a worse punishment? Death penalty opponents who use this argument show their complete intellectual dishonesty. It's also instructive to note that while death penalty opponents make this argument, they never seem grasp that "imprisonment won't bring people back to life." Or does this mean that the anti-death penalty crowd believes imprisonment will bring the victims back to life? Also, if it's wrong for an individual to kidnap and lock up somebody, isn't it wrong for the government to do it to? (Death penalty opponents never seen to address this argument, although it's very similar to their "if it's wrong to kill, then it's wrong for governments to kill" argument.) "It takes too long and is too expensive to execute somebody after conviction." The people who make this argument are, interestingly, the ones who seek to postpone the execution and make it drag on for years and sometimes decades! And, yet, the same people who make this argument are the same ones who propose as an alternative life imprisonment, along with the costs involved in that. http://dan_pressnell.tripod.com/deathpenalty.htm
