It was determined that since Gershowitz had been treated as a level-1 for 1 year and 8 months without any convictions that he should remain as a level-1. This was concurred by Kim Acker with the DOC End of Sentence Review.

In the event that Kelly Steems is found guilty, he should be given three years in prison. Three years seems like an odd number to give, but a number of ideas should are taken into consideration that make three years a suitable punishment. Mr.Steems is being charged under sections 249(3) and 267 of the Criminal Code, which both carry maximum punishments of ten years. One of the objectives of sentencing is to deter the offender and others from committing offences. Although Drew Morrie was not seriously injured, Steems must be deterred from doing it again. Three years is not so long to be considered an unjust punishment, yet it is long enough to prevent him from doing it again. No one wants to spend three full years in prison. Additionally, he

In the novel Enrique’s Journey I feel Enrique is a perpetrator of crime. He unlawfully enters the US in the hope of finding his mother. Yes, it is a heartbreaking story, but that still does not excuse the fact that he broke the law. There are some dangers when attempting to illegally enter the US such as death and diseases. Death is a concern for the person trying to enter the US; they can be killed along the way by countless different ways, such as: Starvation, dehydration, burns, falling off of trains, freezing, and murder. They also can bring diseases into the United States that can kill many. When Unaccompanied Alien Children are apprehended Border Patrol and other guards are forced to watch and care for them. Some children may have diseases and a guard may catch it. Many undocumented people lack basic vaccinations. This is not only affecting the person who is travelling, but others around them too.
In the Matter of R-A-M the Board of Immigration Appeals determined that possession of child pornography is a particularly serious crime. The Board of Immigration Appeals made this determination by considering the nature of the offense, the specific facts, and the circumstances of the crime. The Immigration Judge determined that possession of child pornography was an aggravated felony. The Immigration Judge does not feel that the respondent has been convicted of a particularly serious crime. I agree with the legal conclusion of the Board of Immigration Appeals because I feel that child pornography is a serious offense that can directly relate to the sexual abuse of children.

With the escalation of murders and rapes committed by minors as seen in recent years the people are looking for the right answer. Public concern over the effectiveness of the juvenile courts when dealing with these offenders has brought about change in the justice system. (Stolba, 2001). The courts now, are quicker to transfer a juveniles’ case to adult court than when the juvenile system was first formed. There stands a conflict of interests within the two court systems. Juvenile courts are to protect the rights of youths determined incapable of adult decisions. The primary concern is that the youth be rehabilitated and not become a repeat offender. Thus, protecting the child from incarceration with adult criminals and any possible future victims. The concerns of the adult court is to make sure the convicted offender pays for their crime and that the victim gets justice. Rehabilitation is not a primary concer of the adult justice system.
Based on the Evaluation conducted on Mr. smith, it is with my greatest of opinions that things should go as follows; when it comes to the victim there seems to be no risk of Mr. smith trying to reestablish contact with them at all and hence no need for a stay away order to be placed. This is based on the fact there is such a low risk of him reoffending with the same victim not even a temporary stay away order needs to be put in place at best, as for his mental status it would of great interest that Mr. smith continue with suggested therapy and counseling as to help with his depression along with being medicated for his night terrors with trazadone. Although Mr. smith should be reevaluated for to possibly put on some anti-depressants for his ongoing depression issues and suicidal thoughts.
