Islamic Culture 5-2 Assignment Two Hayden Bucher CJ-120 Views The Islamic Culture emphasizes crime prevention, which they believe can be achieved through moral education and upbringing. Islamic courts are independent, in which the judicial selection is based on high standards, capability, and loyalty. “Criminal responsibility is based on two principles: (1) punishment is a social necessity imposed to protect society and safeguard public interests and (2) punishment is inflicted on persons who are sane and able to discern and exercise their own free will” (H El-Sa’aty 1989). Islamic cultures also view punishments for committing a crime as gods prerogatives, as this protects humanity from evil and it attains peace and security, trying to deter and discourage crime by rehabilitating the criminal. Some punishments still being used in the Islamic culture for the worst of crimes are lethal stoning and beheading in the public, as its controversial for being a cruel form of capital punishment. Misunderstandings Religion can cause confusion in the criminal justice process, as many criminal justice professions are not religion experts. This can lead to insulting or harming the people you’re supposed to protect, interfering with a religious act, or disregarding their concerns can lead to major problems. An example would be you’re a police officer knocking on someone’s door, and
nobody is answering after a few minutes, a Muslim women answers. She was adjusting her headscarf, the officer proceeded to initiate a handshake in which the woman refuses because her religion discourages contact with members of the opposite sex. Should you be offended? Professional Practices: Understanding the Public Description of Practice: To do these gathering citizens input is huge to understand how the public views the criminal justice system. A problem is that few members of the public have direct contact or exposure with the criminal justice system, as it only touches people’s lives occasionally and in dramatic ways. Getting feedback from the public is crucial, which is why a survey-based tools are an option but selecting individuals of the public at random to speak about the criminal justice system is more reliable. Possible Outcomes: Helps build trust and a bond. Helps the public understand the role of the criminal justice system. Professional Practices: Diversity training Description of Practice: Having diversity training as a police officer is a very important tool, this teaches the officers how conscious and unconscious biases about race, gender, ethnicity, immigration status, and religion will influence their role as a police officer. When people in the community feel their concerns are not being dealt with appropriately, that leaves the confidence
in law enforcement to dimmish. This training gives law enforcement the skills and tools they need to interact with the public in a professional manner, as it earns the public’s trust, solves crimes faster, and lets them understand the people they work with. Possible Outcomes: Helps the public trust and have confidence in law enforcement. Helps communicate with cultural nuance. (Body language and conversation cues) Professional Practices: Procedural justice Description of Practice: Its focus is on the way police and other legal authorities interact with the public and how those interactions shape the public’s view of police. This will determine how the public obeys the law and maintain cooperation with the police. There are four principles that’s involve the procedural justice process (1) treating all citizens with dignity and respect (2) displaying trustworthy motives (3) making unbiased decisions and (4) giving citizens an opportunity to express their views. Possible Outcomes: View those in authority as more legitimate Builds and sustains trust Helps control crimes as a deterrence model Professional Practices: Police legitimacy
