Crime: A Case Study: The Crime Of Marcus Hutchins

The criminal justice system plays an important role in this society, it is meant to protect and serve. This “system” is also meant to maintain the peace and enforce the laws set by the government. However, the criminal justice system is not even close to perfect. It has many flaws, some of which are: police brutality, death penalty, mass incarceration, gun violence, and especially wrongful convictions. A majority of the flaws that the system has can be easily fixed and can be set straight. For example, the issue of wrongful convictions has been relevant for quite some time and has the potential to decrease its probability of occurring by focusing on the importance of scientific evidence, rid of faulty witness testimonies, and make sure that the lack of evidence and/or government misconduct, if applicable, does not determine the outcome of the case.

Throughout the social development of individuals, there are several things that we learn through inclusion and the way in which parents raise us. We learn how to make appropriate social interactions depending on who is in our presence, we learn social expectation, what is considered good behavior, and finally what is considered bad behavior. Yet, awareness of what can constitute as criminal conduct has become increasingly prominent in our culture, especially with the strong presence in social media that it now has. However, what we are often exposed to are adult criminal assailants, and we rarely hear about juvenile, unless they have committed an extreme offense. But it is that last population, the one that we need to focus on, considering that it is them that can move to the extremes; to get blossom under help or to commit an increasing amount of crime.

Humanity has no ultimate standards. There is no absolute wrong or right for the entirety, only differing perspectives adjusted by opinions and experiences. What inclines a person to enforce a law could be the same motive that encourages another to break it. This motivation born of commitment, passion, disregard, or indifference, is what blurs the line between criminality and lawful action. Although our notions of morality can be a societal norm or an individual bias, ultimately the perceived justness of ones cause motivates and governs ones actions. Fighting for a just cause is all in the eyes of the beholder. As is often said: One man 's freedom fighter is another 's terrorist.

The unreported crimes are referred to as the dark figure of crime. I found this interesting because I have never heard unreported crimes referred to as the “dark figure of crimes” until now.

This book shows viewpoints that contradict one another about crime related issues. In showing that there is two side to looking at crime, such as saying poverty causes crime verses poverty does not cause crime. There can be different ways and theories and trends relating to poverty causing crime but there also is evidence that not all poverty causes crime. This book shows both viewpoints of how one angle of an issue could cause crime but does not always. Looking at crime this way shows that people think it is a stereotype of who commits crimes.

I’m one of those people who think most people are good people. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and try not to judge anyone too harshly or prematurely. Do I think everyone is a good person? No, but I think some may have had a much more challenging life than others. Do I think everyone knows right from wrong? No, but I think many people can be rehabilitated, and can have a successful second chance. I like to keep a positive outlook on society as a whole, and I think this positive attitude has contributed to my wish to work with youth in the criminal justice field.

Since the beginning of civilized society there has always been a need to have a system in place in order to ensure that the laws of the land are followed by all. This system, today, is called the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system is very important in serving the individual needs and society’s needs by making individuals feel safe and secure and by fulfilling societal requirements of punishing that criminal element that infringes on those needs of individuals. The role that the criminal justice professional is vital when it comes to ensuring that individual and societal needs are being met which will in fact keep a certain amount of balance within the system itself.

Community Courts could very well be one of the best things to happen to not only the criminal justice system in the past 10 years or so but for the community also. Rather than sending people for mild offenses to prison for their crimes, such as minor drug crimes, they get the opportunity to rehabilitate back into society and contribute to society as a citizen. Personally, community courts are a fantastic attribute of the criminal justice system. They keep people that shouldn’t be in prison (people addicted to drugs, people who made mistakes in life such as vandalizing or burglarizing a home) out of prison and give them a second chance. Regional treatment courts (drug courts) often play a large role in getting people off of drugs and out of prison. People shouldn’t be in prison for petty things such as having a small amount of marijuana, or any drug at that. Drug addiction is a psychological issue, not physical issues, and drug courts help bring a realization to this to the criminal justice system.

A felonious murder is an official decree that increases the meaning of taking the life of someone. This type of homicide relates when a person or persons commit a crime and if someone decreases during the progression of the offense. The main difference between assault and battery is the authentic occurrence and intimidation of harm on a person. Somebody can be incriminated with battery charges if he or she causes bodily injury to a person, while the accusations of the battery are when another individual can be accused of assault if a little danger of harm exists.

The Business of Crime: Italians and Syndicate Crime in the United States, written by Humbert S. Nelli, contains the history of Italian criminal organizations in the New World, between 1880 and 1930. The book is divided into three main parts. The first chapter, From Italy's South to America's South, contains the political, social, economic, and cultural background of Italians before they entered in the New World. Also, it describes the beginning of criminal organizations, and the national wide impact created with the murder of Chief Hennesy (October 15, 1890). The second chapter, The Immigrant Era, describes the Italian involvement in syndicates activities, and discusses the widely publicized

The criminal justice system we have today was formed by the trial and error of our society. From no rights to African Americans to equal rights to all, we no longer hold public hangings for spectacles but we as a society are still characterized for our hyper obsession with law and order. We pour billions into our police and judicial system in a hope to curb crime and this has led to the creation of a prison solution. This solution is simple when someone breaks the law you lock them away, when that doesn’t work you lock them away for a longer period. Over the decades this method combined with the so called drug war has led to the overcrowding of the prison system. As Ernest Drucker wrote there are over 7.3 million people under the control

Bail is the next step of the process and the suspect may try to get bail, “ Bail is an amount of money or other security that is designed to insure a criminal defendant 's return to court if released from jail. Although bail may be reconsidered at any stage in the criminal process, this is usually the first opportunity to set it (Wright, 2012). A judge can also deny bail if the crime is very serious, or if they are considered a risk and if they have a criminal history.

So what does the criminal justice system do to avoid this? What are the policies put forth to deal with this inevitable dependence on crime? Although difficult, it is essential to strengthen the non- economic social institutions, like church or public school educations. There must be less emphasis placed on the importance or status of private school education. In addition, it is necessary to equalize the opportunities for success. The lower level employees must have the same amount of opportunity that the upper level employees have, or once had. The lesser employees must not be alienated within the workplace or held accountable for things that the upper level employees are excused of. The current crack down on white-collar crime is an example
