Michael Arthur Long was a police detective who was shot in the face, but survived, because of a metal plate inserted in his skull from his time in the Vietnam War. After being rescued by Wilton Knight from the near fatal incident, Michael receives a new identity through plastic surgery, as well as a new name, as Michael Knight. Afterwards, Wilton chooses Michael to be the primary field agent in the pilot program of the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG), Wilton’s public justice organization. Michael is provided with high tech crime-fighting equipment, most notably among
I grew up in a neighborhood which is riddled with crime. Unfortunately, people who I grew up with became involved in gangs and criminal activities. Those actions led to them having a criminal record. When looking through the options of the podcast, People who are involved in the criminal justice system is the one I thought would be most interesting. The person Bradley Jacobs discusses what he does in the Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services (CASES).

Ever since I was young, I have been watching tv shows like Burn Notice, Criminal Minds, NCIS, etc. It was always one of my interests. Ever since I started watching Criminal Minds, I have wanted to be a profiler. I want to because I enjoy the show, and I think it would be an interesting job. That is why I chose to do my I-Search paper on Criminal Behavior. My main question I want to focus on is “Why do criminals behave the way they do?”
Yes, all of the time a search warrant will require probable cause. Our important constitutional right The Fourth Amendment means that police cannot arrest or make search without probable cause. For example, the police cannot just come into a residence unless the proper documentation is in hand such as a search warrant signed by a judge. Or if they are in
The court structure in Kansas consists of four levels and they are the municipal court, district court, the court of appeals and the supreme court. All four levels are important and play slightly different roles depending on the crime.
It is true that criminal justice is a major part of the entertainment world. In most shows on TV today, I was really surprised when I sat down to think about what shows I watched that would actually fit in to the three components. I didn’t realize at first how many shows I watched that actually depicted the law enforcement, court systems, and the corrections aspects of Criminal Justice.
The novel “Three Day Road” intertwines the story of a young soldier during the First World War and the experiences of his aunt growing up in pre-20th century Canada. Though at face-value this seems to have little relation to the study of the Criminal Justice system, the two narratives tackle important issues. With the soldier’s experiences, the reader contemplates the place of law and justice on the battlefields and the effect of these actions once the war is over. As we learn about the life of the soldier’s aunt, we are made aware of the wrongs done to Native American people in Canada’s history and how this is still having repercussions. By reading “Three Day Road,” people involved in the justice
A right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures is declared by the Fourth Amendment, but how one is to translate the guarantee into concrete terms is not specified. Several possible methods of enforcement have been suggested over time; however, the Supreme Court has settled, not without dissent, on only one as an effective means to make real the right.
Terrorism has never been in the States; only in third world countries. Since 9/11-2001 is has been a reality and ongoing nightmare and hit close to home. The attack on the World Trade Centers in New York was a wakeup call. United States has been on high alert ever since, waiting for the next possible Terrorists attack. This paper will explain why terrorism is a law enforcement concern as well as how terrorism is considered a crime. At last the paper will state some recommendations that the American Criminal Justice should do, to better prepare for future crimes.
This country has come a long ways since the time of slavery. In 1902, the International Agreement of Suppression of the White Slave Traffic was drafted. This agreement was the first step in an effort to end sex trafficking. Throughout the next eight years, the Mann Act was enacted, forbidding the transportation of any person across state or international lines for the purpose of prostitution or other immoral purposes (Sex Trafficking, 2000).
On September 19, 2016, AEON publishes an article by Judith Lichtenberg, “How US prisons violate three principles of criminal justice”. Lichtenberg suggests the Criminal Justice System is a failure for society. Americans agree that there is a problem with incarceration achieving very little, Lichtenberg says, but disagrees about the expressing their concerns about the discriminatory judicial system. She insists that retribution is a major issue for why people are being sent to prison. Three basic principles should control the use of incarceration as punishment. Lichtenberg argues punishments should correspond to the severity of the crime, discrimination in sentencings have negative effects for African Americans, and prisons should rehabilitate
Within Justice J. Harlan’s dissenting argument in Katz v. United States (1967), Justice Harlan re-identifies the main principles of the two-fold requirement—known as, the reasonable expectation of privacy test (R.E.P.). According to Justice Harlan, the first fold, of this two part fold requirement, must illustrate “a person […] [exhibiting] an actual (subjective) expectation of privacy and, second, that the expectation be one that society is prepared to recognize as “reasonable”.” Thus, we are able to utilize Justice Harlan’s dissenting argument of the two-fold requirement—the R.E.P. test—in regards to Turner’s attempt for overturning her conviction.
I also would like to learn about how prisons work. Depending on the shows we have watched, I would like to find out if prison is similar to shows like "OZ" or "Prison Break". I personally do not think that the U.S. has one of the best criminal justice systems. I do not know if you are familiar mandatory minimum sentencing laws. Which require judges to punish certain crimes with a minimum number of years in prison regardless of context. Which if you are not aware seem to be the cause for the increase in prison population. For example, in some places in the U.S. you can get a life sentence for trafficking 3oz of meth. In comparison to an aircraft hijacker who would have gotten between 20-30 years in prison. Not even child rapist or terrorist
1) The theme in which the textbook builds upon is the needs of both individual and public order. Balancing both the rights by evenly distributing people rights with the use of public order from criminal justice. 2) Justice is fairness and having moral righteousness. The chapter discusses justice, social justice civil justice, criminal justice and, administration of justice. Criminal justice like social justice both seek to maintain an upright position between right and wrong.
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
