Criminal Justice Narrative

In The Mythology of Crime and Criminal Justice it discusses the consequences of reality programs have on the public. One particular show called America’s Most Wanted, was giving information about a fugitive named Don Moore who was wanted for having different sexual interactions with fifth-grade students. What happened was that a worker named Richard Maxwell was thought to be identified as Moore even though his description was not very close to the actual suspects. The police officers arrested him in his workplace in front of his other coworkers and went to the police station to fingerprint him and was found innocent and allowed back to work. He sued “the city whose police officers had compounded the process initiated by the reality programming”(Kappeler and Potter 16). What the court also had found was that the police officers never asked any questions or his consent to the fingerprinting. They “had no grounds for suspecting Maxwell” (Kappeler and Potter 17). This sort of mistake can lead to reputations being destroyed and can affect their future employment.

There are so many life experiences that play a role in my return to college to seek my bachelor's

On October 21, 2014 I went to a court to listen in on some proceedings. It was pretty difficult to find one that was open to the public in this court. Many courtrooms were private or some hearings were irrelevant with what I was looking for. The bailiffs were really nice they helped guide us to the big courtroom that allowed proceedings to be heard by the public. There were some trials that we couldn’t attend because it was a more serious crime or there were juveniles involved and since they are under age we couldn’t be there for it. The courtroom I was in had a professional atmosphere to it but kind of unorganized because there were a bunch of papers all over the place and some of the inmates didn’t show up so the judge would put them to the side. Majority of the inmates being held for drugs, driving under the influence, or physical violence.

My name is Md Kalim Uddin. I went to observe a misdemeanor case in borrow Queens County, Kew Garden Supreme court on Nov 20, 2017, at 10:00 am with my fellow classmate Rochelle. Inside the Supreme court, we went to the room number part Ap-4. It was my first time to observe a misdemeanor case. I was eagerly waiting for this moment. The judge was a female and her name was DB Aziz. It was a curious moment for me and what I have observed was very interesting but on the the time also was emotionally upsetting.

I entered law school secure in my foundation of knowledge on access to justice barriers inherent within the Canadian criminal justice system. With that understanding, I freely commented on LGBTQ+ community, First Nations issues, class, and race. While my deeply held opinions were rooted in dismantling access to justice barriers and were “common sense” truths, they were predictable, simplistic, and misinformed, given the vast body of academic work available. The basic foundation of knowledge I held prior to this class did not prepare me fully and effectively to conceptualize and develop the understanding to discuss access to justice issues in any depth. The absence of academic knowledge that is empirically supported on these issues can be a sign of ignorance in most people, including lawyers, since they may conduct themselves in ways which shows their complicity to a flawed system of inequality. Thus, in the following essay, I will argue that any lawyer who lacks academic knowledge and holds false opinions on these key issues which are inherent in the Canadian criminal justice system, by way of barriers to access to justice, lacks the capacity to discuss these legal issues adequately.

On 5/11/2016 at approximately 0849 hours I was patrolling eastbound on k-96 Highway at approximately mile marker 170. As I was patrolling I saw a gold Chevy passenger car start to pass another vehicle heading westbound on k-96. The gold vehicle was passing and I had to apply my brakes and move to the right shoulder of the highway to avoid a head-on collision. I turned around and pulled in behind the gold vehicle which is baring Kansas tag 819JAB. I activated my emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle. The vehicle pull to the right hand shoulder and came to a normal stop.

My name is April Weston and I am a crime analyst. My work revolves around reviewing police reports every day with the goal of identifying patterns of, analysis of, and solutions to patterns, trends, and problems in crime and disorders as they emerge.

The trial of Mr. Macknight matches my view of the Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity defense. The jury trail, considering the man called “Mac the Knife” was to determine if he would be free, in a secure psychiatric hospital, or be transferred to a lower security hospital for continued treatment of his mental illness (Woychuck, 1996). He was a diagnosed, paranoid schizophrenic, who had killed his neighbors while believing he was Jesus and that said neighbors were pumping poison gas into his home. He had also murdered his brother, saying that he was defending himself, although no other weapons were found but the knife he had murdered his brother with. He was in a psychiatric facility before he managed to escape, and eventually had more run-ins

I attend John Jay College of Criminal Justice not only to further my education, but also to take care of my family. My mother passed away when I was only six years old; however, I have a brother, two sisters, a grandmother who knows what struggle is, and a father who cannot find the words to define his love for my mother. At no point she was hesitant about being a mother to her four young grandkids. I always knew she was an important part of my childhood, but I had never truly understood how she influenced me until a much older age.

I will not stop until I make the world a safer and better place. Maybe it'll be done by me being a prosecutor and help bring justice to the families who have been hurt. Maybe I’ll be a police officer and work my way up to a detective, or maybe I’ll even be a forensic psychologist and testify in court for the prosecution. It’s obvious I don’t know exactly how I’ll protect my people and make the world safer, but I am determined to do so; I will not give up on making my dreams a reality.

Since the last report I have continued to experience a lot more cases and different types of courts. The different courts range from drug court, veterans court, mental health court, recovery court, and so forth. Recently I experienced my first veteran’s court, which I saw two very familiar faces. I actually got to see Denise who works at the VA and Carl who is a probation officer for the veterans. They came and gave a presentation when I had your Interpersonal Relations class fall semester. They are very well respected and take their job very seriously. One of the veterans were graduating from the program offered to veterans when they commit a crime. The court was decorated with a lot of American flags to show support of the veterans who have fought for our country.

The United States Courts are played by different selected people that operate the entire courts. Courts are in place to handle disputes between parties, that can be civil, criminal, family, and/or traffic. In order for the courts to be able to operate, they must employee staff to help the function of the cases. In fact, the players of the courts are like the players of the doctor’s office. This analysis will discuss the results of an interview conducted with a prosecutor, defense attorney, and a judge, it will go over the results, and the procedural law in the time span as an inmate.

I remember like it was yesterday, I held my daughter so tight the night prior. On Friday June 18, 2010, a Pembroke Pines detective was reading my rights at the police station. In addition he was going over the charges with me. I had three different charges which each of them had a five years minimum sentence. I was numb through out the entire process because when I heard the name of who was pressing charges against me I was in total disbelief. I remember shutting down as I heard my grandmother’s name. Tears and tears were coming out I could not believe, I still cannot believe it. I was an Assistant Manager for Bank of America at the time. I would process a few transactions for my family and friends of course with their consent. My grandmother claimed I stole $6,996. 89 using an ATM. Due to her age and the dollar amount I was arrested without a question. However, I pleaded with the detective to please give me a chance to say goodbye to my daughter and which he did. He warned me that I had to show up to his office Tuesday June 22, 2010 at 9:00 A.M. though. One of the scariest days of my life, not only what I was facing but being amongst serial killers, drug dealers, gang members, you name it. The Jail (s), (I went to four in one day) do not

ideas on what exactly crime is, how it is represented by the media, and how

As stated above, as a criminal justice major, academically, I have gained the ultimate development and background of the Criminal Justice System and its practices from my Intro to Criminal Justice and Criminal Law class; how they implement the laws and apply them to crimes, offenses, and offenders. The whole concept of the criminal justice system is to uphold social control, deterring and mitigating crime, or execute sanctions for people who violate the law. Throughout my Criminal Justice courses, I found certain concepts interesting; the concepts that I found most important surrounding the Criminal Justice System were Deterrence, Rehabilitation, and Punishment. These three major factors are substantially the main functions and focus in regards to offenders. Deterrence, rehabilitation, and punishment are elements that help offenders readapt back into society so they can reestablish all of the mechanisms they need to be successful. They prevent future crime, implement reconstruction, and issue consequences. They are significant and crucial factors that the criminal justice system used to promote safety, change, and justice. Deterrence focuses on future behavior by both individuals and society. As a result of offenders receiving punishment, people will deter or discourage from committing crimes in the future. The hedonistic calculus argued that harsher punishment for committing a crime will cause pain rather than pleasure and crime would be prevented (Seiter, 2017). It is basically the concept of making the punishment outweigh the reward or pleasure. I learned that they are two kinds of deterrence which are specific and general deterrence. Specific deterrence is preventing an individual offender from repeating the same crime over in the future while general deterrence focuses on society as a whole and prevent them from committing a crime in the future (Seiter, 2017). The criminal justice system also believes that it is important to focus on the offender's attitude and behavior and tries to improve them for the can reenter into society as law-abiding citizens (Seiter, 2016). Because of my Corrections class, I learned that correctional facilities have all sort of programs the deal with drug/alcohol abuse, mental
