Napoleon Bonaparte I

Napoleon Bonaparte I once said, Even when I am gone, I shall remain in peoples minds the star of their rights, my name will be the war cry of their efforts, the motto of their hopes. By this, Napoleon meant he wanted to be remembered throughout the years to come as a hero, a legend. Napoleon took charge when the French Revolution developed. He wanted to conquer, and he certainly did. Napoleon will never be forgotten. Napoleon grew up during the inextricable time of the French Revolution. During this time people were highly taxed and very much underpaid. The monarchy was losing power and later on ended up being beheaded. This was the childhood environment Napoleon grew up in. Napoleon became a very powerful leader, but resulted in a downfall because of his pride and stubbornness. He had betrayed the trust of many people. However, he is certainly an important historical figure. His strong military maneuvering and leadership skills are not to be forgotten. Napoleon was born o n the island of Corsica on August 15, 1769 into a noble Italian family. He was the son of Carlo Bonaparte and Letizia Ramolino Bonaparte. His father was a lawyer who fought for Corsican independence, but after the French occupied the island of Corsica in 1768, he became a prosecutor and judge, and entered the French aristocracy as a count.

One such crime is unlawful entry, which is the focus of this study.Unlawful entry, more commonly known as break and enter, is a major problem today. It is the entry to a persons property (home or shop) without their permission thereby breaking the law. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of unlawful entry crimes over the past decade. Although there are many different reasons why people commit this offence, it always has a major effect on both the individual(s) involved as well as the community in which it occurs.Generally speaking, people commit crimes for all sorts of reasons. There is no particular age bracket or sex that can be targeted for any particular crime. However, one trend that is associated with unlawful entry crimes is that the majority of offenders commit the crime to clear debt from other areas of criminal activity. A good reason that is often handed to police is that they were doing it just to clear debts from drug dealers or to help their current drug addiction. Another incentive that people have to commit unlawful entry crimes is for the huge rush that they get from either committing the crime or running from someone afterwards. Another trend that is seen with unlawful entry crimes is that they are often spontaneous actions and not usually well planned or well timed. Most of them are committed at night or on houses that seem to have been empty for several days. But no matter how they happen, who commits it, why they do it and when they do it, it always has a huge aff!ect on both the community and the individuals involved.These types of crimes have both financial and personal effects on communities and the individual.
