The Problem Of An Illegal Act

The criminal justice system plays an important role in this society, it is meant to protect and serve. This “system” is also meant to maintain the peace and enforce the laws set by the government. However, the criminal justice system is not even close to perfect. It has many flaws, some of which are: police brutality, death penalty, mass incarceration, gun violence, and especially wrongful convictions. A majority of the flaws that the system has can be easily fixed and can be set straight. For example, the issue of wrongful convictions has been relevant for quite some time and has the potential to decrease its probability of occurring by focusing on the importance of scientific evidence, rid of faulty witness testimonies, and make sure that the lack of evidence and/or government misconduct, if applicable, does not determine the outcome of the case.

Many of today’s interrogation models being utilized in police investigations have an impact on false confessions. The model that has been in the public eye recently is the social psychological process model of interrogation known as the “The Reid Technique.” There are two alternatives used by the police today to replace the Reid Technique, one is the PEACE Model and the other is Cognitive Interviewing. These methods are not interrogation techniques like Reid but interview processes.

“More than any other nation on Earth, America has constantly drawn strength and spirit from wave after wave of immigrants. In each generation, they have proved to be the most restless, the most adventurous, the most innovative, the most industrious of people. Bearing different memories honoring different heritages, they have strengthened our economy, enriched our culture, renewed our promise of freedom and opportunity for all” (Clinton 146). Those are some wise words from a former president who explains the importance of immigrants and has the mentality of a person who has reason. For many, or everybody, walking through a hot, dry desert with no water or even through a cold, windy and rainy desert would not be an activity that they would like to engage. Even though this dangerous and severe weather goes on, several people still immigrate illegally because they want what is going to be best for them. Some make it all the way and unfortunately some we do not hear about ever again.

When a law enforcement officer or other public employee is accused of potentially criminal conduct, they may face three different kinds of interviews or interrogations. If an officer is interviewed as a criminal suspect, they have the absolute right to decline to answer any questions, or to insist that they have a lawyer of their choosing to attend the interview. The first is type is during a criminal investigation; the second is during a disciplinary investigation and finally during the course of civil litigation where there has been damages. During a criminal interview, there is no professional, ethical or moral duty to participate especially without the assistance of an attorney to represent the officer under investigation. It has come to a surprise that many experienced officers will waive their right to silence and give the investigators an audio recorded statement. Some of the inexperienced criminals do not make incriminating statements. The motive for cooperation is to avoid unfavorable publicity.

Rule: Homicide: The legal definition of homicide is the intentional, premeditated taking of the life of another human being.

In the case of Robinson v. California, 370 U.S. 660 (1962), the Supreme Court ruled that a law may not punish a status; i.e., one may not be punished to being an alcoholic or for being addicted to drugs. However, of course, one may be punished for actions such as abusing drugs. The question becomes; What if the status “forces” the action? What if a person, because of his/her addiction to drugs, is “forced” by the addiction to purchase and abuse the illegal drugs? Would punishing that person be unfairly punishing a status?

Location of Interview: My partner and I will interview the suspect, Gavoni, at the procurement building in a traditional office setup. We will clearly communicate with his Supervisor, Carl Rodgers, and request an office to use. We will ask Rodgers not to tell Gavoni anything about the situation. After we arrive and preset the office space to our liking we will call Rodgers and request that he tell Gavoni to report to the designated office immediately and fully cooperate. We don’t want Gavoni to know about the suspect interview until the moment he walks into the designated office. This

When choosing immigration as my topic, I knew that I would know a lot of the information that I found while researching (especially after the very interesting debates this year). I found the expected information like how Mexicans made up the most populated immigrant group, and how poverty was the leading cause of the move many are making from their respective countries. But while looking for new information I discovered some surprising things. One of the most surprising things was my finding of the Alien and Sedition Acts, which really put Americans first, and threw the unwanted people out. I still don’t understand why people would just want to get rid of these people trying to have a better life! I also found out that many reasons that bring

"Intelligence derived from CIA detainees has resulted in more than 6,000 intelligence reports and, in 2004, accounted for approximately half of the [Counterterrorism Center's] reporting on al Qaeda” (Thiessen). It is the hope that eventually everyone will talk with the correct tactics. Even though it may take minutes, hours, days, or months this is better than not knowing at all. Gainful knowledge helps the US track terrorists, stop bombings, and detour other terrorist acts before they can happen. ." In other words, the terrorists are called by their faith to resist as far as they can -- and once they have done so, they are free to tell everything they know. This is because of their belief that "Islam will ultimately dominate the world and that this victory is inevitable." The job of the interrogator is to safely help the terrorist do his duty to Allah, so he then feels liberated to speak freely” (Thiessen). Saving lives of US citizens should be the priority not the safety of horrible terrorists that don’t care about American lives. Another reason that enhanced interrogations are important is only 1 person suffers instead of thousands if a terrorist attack is successful. The main goal of a terrorist is to destroy the safety and quality of the economy. Per the FBI “International terrorism involves violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that are a

First, it is important to recognize that in both criminal and HUMINT investigations, interrogation typically takes place at a time when there has been no judicial determination that the person being interrogated is guilty of a crime or possesses useful information. Thus, given the considerable resources that may be invested in the interrogation process, especially for intelligence interrogations, one could argue that it is important to have an effective screening process in place to ensure that only those individuals with a relatively high potential for responsibility and/or knowledge

So what exactly is over criminalization? In technical terms it is the act of imposing unbalanced penalties with no relation to the gravity of the offense committed or the culpability of the wrong doer. In other words, the United states is excessively using and misusing the statutes of criminal law. This is to include unnecessary criminal statutes such as those in the business realm. For example, transporting orchids without proper paper work or failure to ship lobster tail in plastic bags. The most redundant one is the failure to return a library book. Laws in today’s society are here to protect us as a whole as well as maintain order in this country. However, we have an innumerable amount of laws, mostly old laws, that serve no purpose in this new world we live in. These laws are ones most of us have never even heard of because they are rarely enforced. As a result, these statutes can legally be implemented this

The law of inchoate crimes precludes conduct preparatory to however coordinate toward the commission of a wrongdoing. The inchoate wrongdoings are endeavor - activity toward the commission of a wrongdoing; trick - consent to carry out a wrongdoing; and requesting - actuation of another to perpetrate a wrongdoing. no government basic law exists to oversee such wrongdoings, and present elected statutes treat inchoate offenses erratically. Obligation for an inchoate offense would center not on the threat introduced to the general population but rather on the performer 's sign of criminal plan. Endeavor would be defined as a considerable step that firmly substantiates the criminal motivation behind the on-screen character. Connivance would be reclassified as the on-screen character 's consent to the criminal reason in addition to some demonstration according to the intrigue that sets up that a scheme is in progress. Requesting would require circumstances that emphatically authenticate the performer 's expectation to induce someone else to carry out a wrongdoing. Renunciation would be given as a positive safeguard to empower desistance and invalidate the finish of the immovability of the performing artist 's criminal aim.

A suspect can be convicted of many different crimes, but the crimes that are the most interesting are called inchoate offenses. An inchoate offense is a type of crime done by taking a illegal step to the commission of another crime. The inchoate offenses are attempt, solicitation, and conspiracy ("Inchoate offense | Wex Legal Dictionary / Encyclopedia | LII / Legal Information Institute", n.d.). Solicitation is one of bottom inchoate offenses, meaning that it does not take much for a suspect to be found guilty of solicitation. Prosecutors must be able to prove two things to be effective in convicting a suspect of solicitation ("Criminal Solicitation Law & Legal Definition", n.d.). The first thing a prosecutor must prove is that a person

The problem statement is whether to report the issue Louis to the proper officials for being an illegal or not to file a report. Then not having a policy nor procedures to address the issue with supervisors, directors and board of directors. In the many roles, as social workers we are taught to advocate for targeted groups. This targeted group would be immigrants for this case. We are taught to design, coordinate different programs in the United States and outside of the country. So learning to understand political/legal issues needs to be in the front of the overall policies. The legal issue for this case is that Louis Touissant is on a two year visa which the company has paid for a limited time. He agreed to volunteering within the agency that brings him into the country. The agency should’ve set up guide lines as a precaution and made the worker sign a contact. Then informed the worker that sets will be taken if he does not complete his visa agreed working time. There should be no excuse in attempting to locate him before alerting the proper officials. Also they need to notify the board due to putting their jobs into jeopardy. If they do not handle these future legal issues then it could lead to lawsuits against the agency. Then negative press could affect their relationship with funding and/or other companies. As a professional social work in practice, we are taught different ways of locating someone. There was not a good job in the way they handled the situation

Criminal Immigrants as well as its connection to Terrorism has had a huge role in what society face today as an international problem, especially one of those which there is not yet a figured solution to combat this crime. Terrorism is defined as an unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. Foreign born immigrants have been portrayed as Terrorists and are to blame for the increase in crime rates in certain areas of the country. Such reports leaves us to question whether or not immigrants should be deported if they have committed a serious crime. Based on isidewith.com poll study, majority of Americans agree on this issue to have those whom have done such acts to be deported as payment for their crimes. In my opinion they should only be put through deportation based on their criminal activities only if they are illegal.
