Criminal justice has garnered massive national attention in the past few years in America. Multiple police shootings, the Black Lives Matter movement, and other hot-button issues have occupied the media on a daily basis. This attention has led many Americans to question the integrity and efficacy of the government institution that was designed to uphold the law and seek justice for its people. However, this system is severely damaged and its definition of justice has been perverted and contorted beyond recognition, resulting in unfair and discriminatory treatment of the people it has been sworn to protect.

One would be hard pressed to argue that the criminal justice system in America is perfect. Everyday, countless headlines can be seen nationwide about some perceived injustice within the courts. Our criminal justice system is no different than our society wherein special people get special consideration, men and women are held to different standards, and so forth and so on. As an American, I have accepted these facts of life. I am a father of two boys, a varsity baseball coach and a police veteran of 17 years. In my experience as a father, coach and police veteran, I have seen and heard it all.

Dr. Seuss addresses various social issues through his children’s books. Horton Hears a Who, published in 1954, targets discrimination against minorities. The Sneetches, published in 1961, takes aim at racism. In the story, Plain-Belly Sneetches are discriminated against because they lack a star, which signifies higher social status in their Sneetch community. Unfortunately, Seuss’ children’s story parallels contemporary society. Recently, children in the United States have experienced horrible mistreatment by law enforcement. In order to subdue misbehaving elementary school students, campus security guards and the police, who tend to be white in most cases, resort to extreme measures like handcuffs. Disabled African American children are often subjected to such abuse. They receive more severe, traumatizing punishments based on their skin color; they do cause disturbances and should face the consequences of their actions, but such force should not be used. Although these children can and should be handled in a less humiliating fashion, law enforcement accepts criminal punishments as a reasonable way to restrain African American children because their skin color makes them less than human and a greater threat.

The United States is the world leader in both positive and negative arenas. As a nation, we are leading the world in the number of incarcerated individuals. While the ethnic composition of each state will vary, documentation shows that “African Americans are incarcerated in state prisons at a rate that is 5.1 % the imprisonment of whites.” (Nellis, 1) Consequently, most sentences are issued at the state level and not the federal level. In our attempt to be tough on crime and rid our nation of her drug problem and criminal action, we have created a new more pressing issue, an unethical system of law and society.

One of the most misunderstood job positions in the United States is accounting. Accounting is often described as a dull job that requires a mastery in crunching numbers. Despite accountings misconceptions, it is often considered one of the most satisfying jobs. One particular accounting title, Certified Public Accountant (CPA), is one of the most popular qualifications accountants seek out. To organize and represent CPAs, the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) was formed. Today, AICPA is informing the public about accounting and uses the slogan “Start Here, Go Places.”

I agree many of accountants skills are used to keep track of business records much like scorekeepers at gaming events. I also agree most people have some form of accounting background like balancing a checkbook, paying taxes or reporting some form of income. Much like financial accountants if we do not do taxes or report our income we could get audit by the IRS.

Most Americans in the United States would never presume that they would become wrongfully evicted. From young ages, kids are taught to believe in the criminal justice system and believe that it works. It is pounded in our heads to presume the criminal justice is fair. Prior to 1932, research upon this subject was nonexistent. It was not an idea until Judge Learned Hand stated that that the American judicial system "has always been haunted by the ghost of the innocent man convicted." He relates the idea of becoming wrongfully convicted to an "unreal dream" (Halsted, 1992; Huff, Rattner, Sagarin, & MacNamara, 1986). About a decade later professor Edward Borchard of Yale, published his book, Convicting the Innocent in 1932. His book raised the spiral notion that wrongful convictions do happen. The main question raised is how frequently do wrongful convictions occur? After research proves more wrongful convictions, the question of how do these convictions happen? Is it possible to stop wrongful convictions, or reduce the problem? Researchers have uncovered the truths and facts of the American justice system leading to wrongful convictions.

What do some people do when faced with problems they can’t confront the lie about them just like when you broke something as a little kid you would say it wasn’t you.

Almost everyone who has seen a cop television show or movie has heard the saying “You have the right to remain silent”. In America, people are raised to believe that the justice system never fails, and that no matter what happens justice will always prevail, though for some people this safety net has failed them. Since the late 1980s six studies have documented 250 interrogation-induced false confessions. Police-induced false confessions are the result of multistep process and sequence of influence, persuasion, and compliance. Imagine that a solider of the U.S. military is brought in for questioning, kept locked up for sixteen hours in an interrogation room, constantly threatened with the death penalty if they did not confess to the crime, and the whole time left without representation. In 1997 this was the case for four individuals from Norfolk, Virginia held without representation and forced to give false confessions.

“Americans have always had ambivalent feelings about crime and punishment” (71). Many say our American System of Justice is broken, for they believe the system is looking to just punish those who have done wrong and is not looking to rehabilitate them, especially for juveniles. Then there are some who say, the American System of Justice does not need to change for it already punishes criminals with due process, and rehabilitates them. The American System of Justice should change the way they punish criminals, because those who are incarcerated for nonviolent crimes are taking up space in our prison system, juveniles are being put in solitary confinement and coming out more damaged than they were, and lastly some offenders are serving to long for the crime they committed.
