It was to impose the mandatory sentencing an offender would receive for crimes that were committed. The mandatory minimum punishment guidelines would require for judges to hand down judgement for a certain length of time.

These minimum sentencing apply to many of the crimes committed on society, such as violent, drug-related crimes and for those habitual offenders. In cases where the offender commits a crime and is a repeat offender then it should be left up the presiding judge to serve out justice. People who commit low level crimes should be punished but not to the extent of going to prison for a long period of time. Congress has enacted these guidelines so that the criminal justice system would not be burden with smaller crimes or be overwhelmed. Lengthy sentencing hearings seldom are necessary, the disputes about sentencing elements must be resolved with sensitivity concern and carefulness. A dispute exists about any factor important to the sentencing determination then a judge will use his discretion to hand down equal and fair judgement.

This would most likely be the fastest route to get any results on the matter, however, it is not the only route of which these organizations could have taken. The policy problem could have been taken to the courts, however, as observed this could be a tedious affair of which lots of money would be spent for the hope that a case trial would be picked up. There is no guarantee that a policy will make it to court though.

In the last two-and-a-half years there has been 11 murders committed by offenders while on parole. This is a clear example of why we need stricter laws on parole for offenders.

Every person that has operated a vehicle before, or has seen a vehicle operated, understands that while driving is a very convenient mode of transportation, it can also be extremely dangerous for vehicle operators and people near the roads which vehicles are operated on. These dangers are suppressed by the rules and regulations imposed by our governments. While some laws on roadways seem to be a nuisance to drivers, they are there for a reason, to keep us safe. One specific roadway area that the government is very concerned with keeping safe would be construction zones. Currently the fines and punishments for drivers who are ticketed and/or are involved in accidents in work zones are higher than they are in regular roadway areas. The question that this essay will explore is whether or not these higher fines are appropriate.

Demerit points is a system in which you gain points for breaking traffic laws. Different traffic laws will add up to more points. Gaining demerit points is not a good thing, it comes with penalties. The more Demerit points the worse the penalty is so it’s in the driver's best interest to keep their demerit points at 0. If you gain enough demerit points it could result in losing your license.
