a) Christopher Michael Benoit was born on May 21, 1967 and died on June 24, 2007. He was a professional wrestler all his life and is known mainly for his time spent in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He was born in Montreal Quebec, Canada, but was raised in mainly Edmonton Alberta, Canada. Chris lived with both his parents and had an older sister. All his life Chris Benoit had a passion for pro wrestling and knew from his youth that he would want to become one. In his early days as a pro wrestler, Benoit met Eddie Guerrero, also an aspiring pro wrestler at the time and they became extremely close friends. They, along with another close friend of Benoit’s, Dean Malenko, eventually made it to the top wrestling promotion at the time known as World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and then they all went to the WWE together when their contracts expired.

b) Chris Benoit started his wrestling career at a local promotion in Alberta known as Stampede Wrestling. The renowned Hart Family owned the promotion, which is where Benoit would usually train as well. He wrestled in the promotion for 4 years from 1985-1989 where he earned a lot of accolades. He won his first title against Gama Singh in 1986 and would go on to win 4 more titles before leaving the promotion. After spending time in promotions such as New Japan Pro Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling, Benoit finally was signed to a deal by the WWE, something that he had wanted from the start. He started off mostly as a tag team wrestler winning several Tag Team Championships with numerous other wrestlers. Finally, in 2004 Benoit was given the opportunity to advance in his WWE career when he was given a push as a singles wrestler. He ended up winning the WWE Title, solidifying himself as one of the best wrestlers to lace up a pair of boots. Chris Benoit wrestled his last match ever against Elijah Burke on June 19, 2007.

Youth violence has become a growing problem due to the economic breakdown in the inner cities and the availability of illegal guns. Criminal Justice professionals are responsible for the control of illegal guns and the gun markets.

As WWE were broadcasting a tribute show in Benoit’s memory, news which addressed why the wrestler had passed began circulating. “The answer to that question was indeed chilling and has led WWE to disassociating itself with their former icon and Benoit’s reputation hitting an all time low” (Ring Surf, 2009). Reports to this day reveal that, over a period of days, Benoit had choked his wife and smothered his son both to death, before taking his own life on June 2007.…

    Alexander Mclennon, when you said that you do believe that “competition in criminal justice is a good thing ethically speaking because through competition people understand that they are not alone in this world and their interests are not all that matters.” Are you sure that is how people think when it comes to competition?

Therefore, I don’t see how people would understand that they are not alone in this world when it comes to competition, and their interests…
