Not Reporting My Father

Our society for the most part has a set of written laws by which it operates under. Laws govern our behavior in society and list punishments by which individuals that break them will be prosecuted and sentenced. Our criminal justice system is essential made up of three major intuitions which see a case from the beginning and through the trial and finally to the punishment phase ("How Does the Criminal Justice System Work?," 2014). Our society needs laws and punishment for those who violet the laws otherwise we would live in a world of chaos. In this paper we will examine various aspects of the criminal process from arrest through sentencing and appeal.

The criminal justice system enforcing the racial caste system creates several distinct social problems which impact several areas of a person’s life; from the family structure, a person’s income and wealth, participation in the legal system, to the attitude placed

The article emphasize on those who have money and those who lack in education have hard time to be sentence due to what's they're income in family. The reason why I want to use this article is because the way the juveniles are take to prison, discriminate by the money or education.

In society, things are not as they seem at times. The criminal justice system was created to help deter crime and to punish those who break the law. Laws are put in place to be fair to all citizens. Your economic situation, gender, race should not become a factor for you to be given “due process”. Years have come and gone and the crime rates increases and decreases with the years. There have been many senseless killings and everyone has their point of view as to the causes. The focal point of this report will be the findings from the readings of, “The rich get richer and the poor get prison by Jeffery Reimer and Paul Livingston”. I will discuss the causes of the rise and fall of the many different types of crimes ; why the rise and fall of crime rates; what contribution has the criminal justice and or police system has contributed whether positive or negative; and lastly discuss which economic group ends up in prison and why.

This history reflects a society , where involves the legal system to exert punishments against anyone that disclosing capacity that could affect on the Government, a judicial system that is within the parameters of equality projected in this story, which deprives the citizen the right to defend itself against accusations of a controller and authoritarian Government.

People have a tendency of ascribing external stimuli as reasons for actions and behaviour of man. If a person becomes a criminal, we look for reasons in his background and social setting. However, it is not always necessary that a poor person will take to crime to alleviate his misery.

There are several theories that try to explain the morality of the actions; however, two stand out. the first is deontology, and the other one is utilitarianism. The former follow the idea that the consequences of you action hold no importance in what we ought to do. But rather, some actions are morally wrong or good by itself. The latter follows an opposite view in which the consequences of an action are what it makes an action moral. Specially, if that action produce the greatest happiness over unhappiness. In this essay I will focus on two Utilitarianism ramifications, act utilitarianism and rule utilitarianism. They both agree that consequences must be the greatest factor in deciding what we ought to do. Nonetheless they have one big difference. Rule Utilitarianism generalize acts and recreate the consequences of a rule. If the consequences are ultimately favoring, then it is morally right. By way of contrast, Act Utilitarianism evaluate each action individually, and similar situation would have different outcomes depending on the situation. There is no universal rule unlike rule utilitarianism.

The passion to deliver justice in all situations is interconnected to distributive justice and corrective justice. In corrective justice, offenders are expected to be disciplined for their evil deeds and this corresponds with my value and passion for justice. The application of correction justice is also associated with morality which plays a significant role. This is because of the relationship with law and morality and the need, as a criminal justice professional, to understand how and where to draw the line between law. The challenge in correctly identifying a distinct relationship between morality and law is ignited by the observation that law does not include every moral concern. For example, while it may be agreed by a majority of citizens that lying, in most instances is immoral; there are others that may argue that specific laws barring lying do not exist, safe for laws that forbid perjury, numerous types of fraud and additional institutions. The linkage between morality and law can thus be seen as tricky because it is possible to engage in what may broadly be perceived as an immoral act, yet the act is not illegal. Thus, it can be assumed that a person may be perceived as a good person that does the right thing does not necessarily qualify being a law-abiding person. Therefore, it emerges that the issue of morality and law should be

The subject i chose to shadow for this paper is my dad ronnie cadle, the reason i chose him is for the sole purpose that he always keeps his word, and that's the trait i like the most in people ,just always keeping your promises.not a lot of people keep their word,they tend to lie or come up with an excuse to why they didn't keep their promises,but not my fat6her,every time he told me we would do something as simple as going out to my favorite restaurant all the way up to promising to take me up to the mountains so we could do some father/son time, so the reason i chose my father is he has never lied to me.

The minister, Timothy Fugatt, and his wife have a son who has a rare brain disease. They both received traffic tickets and could not afford to pay the fines back due to the stress level of their son that has affected them to not be able to keep a job. Their case found them not guilty, but they were required to pay the court’s costs. The Judicial Correction Services, a private company that collects city’s fines, threaten the Fugatt to be arrested if they did not pay the costs. With that, the Fugatt family was also charged with interest for missing payments. The Fugatt family is one of the many targets of people in the United States. Many people who do not pay for their fees and costs do get interest and it accelerates. Some who are not able to pay their fees are incarcerated in prisons until they pay off their debt. Yet, it is very unfair because room and board is not free in prisons. Now, why does this matter because most people who go to jail must have done a criminal act right? Well, statistically, there is not an equal distribution of ethnicities in prisons. Majority of the people being jailed are minorities who settled in society as low

The police detective interrogating Gafgen, had a moral duty toward the suspect, but he was also faced with a desperate situation. Daschner felt justified in the treat of torture in the event that it might save the life of the missing child. Per Mackinnon, the principle of utility strives to bring about the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, (Mackinnon 54). Thus Daschner was acting upon the basic principle of utilitarianism. In an interview Detective Daschner gave the German press, justifying his actions, he was quoted as saying, “I can just sit on my hands and wait until maybe Gafgen eventually decides to tell the truth and in the meantime, the child is dead,” (Bernstein).

Consequentialism is ordinarily distinct from deontology, as deontology offers rightness or wrongness of an act, rather than the outcome of the action. In this essay we are going to explore the differences of consequentialism and deontology and apply them to the quandary

Before we contemplate the types of behaviour that deserve punishment, it is essential that we understand why ‘deserved punishment’ is a fundamental premise of the criminal justice system. In order to do this, we will need to consider the different justifications for punishment. As Wilson considers, theories of punishment have historically ‘fallen into one of two categories’; they can be identified as either a retributive theory or a utilitarian (consequentialist) theory.[1] Retributive theories suggest that punishment can only be justified if the punishment itself has some inherent moral value; it cannot be ‘made right’ by its positive

A man ends up in a South American town in front of a group of 20 inhabitants who had protested against the government and were about to be killed as punishment and to serve as warning. Understanding that the man, Jim, had ended up in the town by accident, they decide to honor him as a visitor and give him the privilege of killing one of the Indians. As a result, the other 19 will be set free. The utilitarian response to this is that Jim should kill the one man. The utilitarian must again forget his integrity and act for the greater good. Although his best benefit may be to not kill one man, he must consider the complete picture; he is saving the lives of 19 people.

The justice system is not always just, for the events that happened in the story of "Citizen's Arrest" has shown how anybody can be perceived as innocent by believingly accusing someone of doing something wrong. A reason why people tend to view people as moral and immoral over one action, pertains to why people do not desire to be strained over cases in general searching for the truth. This is unfair, as immoral, maleficent people can trick authorities into thinking they are innocent, thus moral people's accidents could come to be viewed as graceless instead, which is what had happened in the story.Thieves are sly and cunning, while moral people are honest which is why moral people could possibly be brought into greater troubles than the sly
