enjoyed reading your post. I think you did a great job explaining the ways classical and modern day philosophies pertaining to crime are different. I found out that we agree on many points. For example, I agree that having multiple theories about crime is not a bad or negative thing, like you mentioned it gives us the chance to come up with new ideas and to also take other things into consideration. I also agree that science as well as the criminal justice system has come a long way when it comes
Circle of Justice vs. US Criminal Justice System Have you ever heard of the Circle of Justice? If not, I will be telling you about the Circle of Justice and the US Criminal Justice System. The Circle of Justice and the US Criminal Justice System are both very good things, they both teach you a lesson, but in very different ways. The Circle of Justice teaches you to become calm and be a better person, but the US Criminal Justice System punishes you by giving you an amount of time in jail. The Circle
I believe that to a high extent canada's justice system is fair and equitable for our youth. There are two criminal justice systems. The criminal code of canada which deal with adults in trouble with the law. Then there is the youth criminal justice system which deals with youth between the ages of twelve and seventeen, in trouble with the law. People who think it is fair and equitable to a low extent do not agree with the Youth Criminal Justice Act. They would likely value the consequences should
The criminal justice system conducts trials, determines guilt, and decides what kind of punishments to give to adults who have committed some sort of crime. Adults, however, are not the only ones who commit crimes. Kids under 18 can commit crimes too. In 1899, the juvenile justice system began to form. People thought that kids should be treated differently after committing crimes. Being younger, they were believed to be more able to rehabilitate than adults, the criminal justice system was believed

Is the Criminal Justice System Racially Biased? Most criminologist use two sources of criminal justice data in the United States: the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) and the National Crime Victimization Surveys (NCVS). The URC data is made from law enforcement agencies and include crime incidents reported to or obtained by the police. NCVS data is obtained from a very complex national survey of a sample of homes and provide information about crime incidents and victims for both reported and unreported
I agree that our nation attempts to prioritize equality yet frequently falls short of doing so. You did an exceptional job of describing this and how the discrimination and racism that result can negatively impact those who are targeted. It is an excellent point that we must be able to understand how and why discrimination occurs in order to eradicate it from our society. I strongly agree that discrimination and racism are prevalent in our criminal justice system, and especially evident in the example
Retributive, Utilitarian and Rehabilitative Justice Compared The three justice theories or views, which include utilitarianism, rehabilitative or a retributive style of justice, are multifaceted. It is not easy to sum the aspects of each without lengthy discussion. Therefore, I will try to maximize my efforts and offer concise answers. It is fair to note that my belief system correlates strongly with retributive style justice theory. Nevertheless, I will compare all three theories accordingly.
While I understand the premise that for anyone to justify acting in a way to be defined as criminal (i.e. in opposition to the societal set precedent) could by definition be defined as psychosis, I do not feel that this considers all influential variables. One fallacy with this concept is the thought that the majority of humans contain the same neurologic biology. Moreover, this concept fails to incorporate the potential for a difference in opinion of morality, i.e. the concept relies on the premise
Danny Arbelaez Take-Home 2B It is no secret that the criminal justice system, as a whole, has some major problems that could be fixed. Some of us may not agree with some laws, but one thing is for sure, no one is above law, or are they? Three areas of the system that could use some revision include police discretion, plea bargain and jury nullification. When we speak on an ethical level with these three elements of the system, it is difficult to categorize them into which one is more unethical than
The article regarding criminal justice is extremely unnerving. While it is no secret that African American males are continuously harassed and recently killed for little to no reason, the maps and graphs paint a horrifying picture. The systemic incarceration of black males is undoubtedly collusion in an attempt to control black men, whether they are involved in crime or not. It is disheartening that race is constantly the basis for certain laws, policies, and inequalities. The numerous inequalities
The criminal justice system of Texas and Norway may seem quite similar at glance, but are actually extremely different from one another. Although both systems consist of the executive, judicial, and legislative branches, they have many distinctions between them two. To begin with, the Texas criminal justice system is an entire system broken down into different positions handling different responsibilities. The attorney general, also known as AG, is an elected executive who has major responsibility
the criminal process. The two model of the criminal process are the crime control model and the due process model. Both of these models are bring used in the criminal justice system. The two models give understanding to the values of the criminal law with that in mind these two modes are not absolute. Herbert Packer articulates the values of the criminal justice process between due process which is emphasis on the right of an individual and crime control model sees the regulation of criminal conduct
own words? a. Plea bargaining is when the defendant and prosecutor negotiate an agreement between each other where the defendant pleas guilty to reduced charges. 2. Do you think plea bargaining undermines our criminal justice system? How? Explain yourself? a. In some cases, plea bargaining does not undermine our criminal justice system because the defendant should be allowed to weigh their options; especially because this plea will affect their lives. Pleading guilty to a lesser charge can benefit
Hillary Clinton said, "We can do better. We cannot ignore the inequalities that persist in our justice system that undermine our most deeply held values of fairness and equality." She was correct in her statement, we need to reform our criminal justice system due to it highly lacking in fairness and equality. 2.38 million Americans are in prison, with another five million on probation or parole. 1 in 31 adults in the United States are in jail, prison, or on probation or parole.
