In the following paper, I will describe what worldwide criminal justice systems are doing to address the criminal issues I identified. I will talk about the terrorist group ISIS about the crimes they have committed. Then I will discuss how the worldwide criminal justice system handled the crime. The last thing I will discuss is the effectiveness of the systems response and include suggestions for future responses to combat or prevent these crimes.
The Criminal justice system have begun to monitor the Arab community. Not much has become of this since the Justice Department view it as racial profiling. Even the beheading in Oklahoma wit was not ruled a terrorist attack. A problem with the criminal justice system noting is defined as

ISIS has posted their crimes on social media and the world remains quit about the happening with this this terrorist group. What harsh is that there is evidence of their crimes and the polished on twitter.
“The Yazidi girls are raped five times a day and burnt with cigarettes.” (Tonkin, 2015). What more evidence is needed to prosecute these criminals? These girls are passed through these criminals like dodge ball. Many of them have given account of what they went through and the criminal justice system in Iraq and Syria looks on. Not even the United States system has step in to help the victims of these violent crimes. The United States has great resource to find these guys and prosecute. Some country have been involve lately to help the women escape the horrible life they were accustom to under ISIS. Charities got involved to offer assistant to the women and children.
As for as the criminal justice system nothing really has happen on that end. Another than military dropping a few bombs on them. The world criminal justice system has kind of look the other way of the ongoing violence against these people. Its makes you think that the criminal courts are all the same that rarely go after harden criminals. It seems the court is having the Stockholm syndrome with ISIS. The court has just seem to be passive when it comes to bring justice to these guys. Many in the system seem it easier to go
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is a terrorist organization on the United States’ Foreign Terrorist watch list that has been able to successfully recruit both homegrown volunteers who stay with U.S. borders to commit terrorist acts on behalf of the organization, and foreign fighters who leave the United States to join Arms in Syria. Since March of two-thousand and fourteen one hundred and eleven individuals within the United States has been charged with offenses related to ISIS, fifty-eight have pleaded or were found guilty. The Islamic state of Iraq and Syria started as a rebel organization that has rapidly gained territory within Syria since 2014 and has proven to be somewhat revolutionary. From its ability to attract thousands of volunteers across sovereign state and international lines, to its resilience to sustained U.S- lead bombing campaigns and its regular spectacular acts of violence. (Kalyvas 2015) Although ISIS was not the perpetrators of the September eleven attacks, they have earned a number one spot as an international threat to many countries due to its ability to recruit homegrown extremist and foreign
In the text, Karmen (2015) discusses the many ways that the criminal justice system does not always act to support crime victims. The following news stories help to illustrate how, at every phase of the criminal justice process, victims may be further victimized.
It’s very clear that ISIS want’s power, but at what cost? Their five minutes of fame won’t make up for the lives of the soldiers and civilians that they kill, the emotional scarring of Iraqi children, and destroyed buildings. On August 19, 2014, ISIS announced the execution of James Foley, an American journalist who was working in Iraq. The group recorded his execution and posted it on the internet, where it went viral and was reviewed by
The emphasis of counterterrorism policy in the United States since Al Qaeda’s attacks of September 11, 2001 has been on jihadist terrorism. However, in the last decade, domestic terrorists have killed American citizens and damaged property across the country. Not all of these criminals have been prosecuted under terrorism charges. This is not meant to imply that domestic terrorists should be taken any less seriously than other terrorists.
Recently a military group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been causing controversy between the group and the United States. However, what many might not know is that ISIS has been around for more than a decade. When the United States sent troops in to overthrow Hussein’s government in 2003, it started a tension that would have never been expected. ISIS has conquered many places and gained much land. ISIS is believed to have contributors from the 9/11 attack (infobaselearning.com) and they have been known to go to the extreme to enforce their law. From the beheading of Christians, to the cruel treatment of women, the punishment is very brutal.
The goal of this paper is to analyze if the criminal justice system, as it is constructed today, is doing enough to punish and to deter crime. It will also look to see if there is deterrent in punishment at all. To do this there are a number of theories that should be examined. This includes the following Deterrence theory, rational choice theory, and lastly the positivist theory. The deterrence theory is a very basic, but overlapping theory to all of the others. We learn that at a very early age that reward vs cost is a critical thing to weigh when making decisions. This carries over to the decision to commit a crime and not to commit a criminal act. The rational choice theory states that human beings are decision making creatures. This theory would subscribe to the idea that the tougher the punishment, the higher the cost. The higher the cost, the likelihood of an individual committing a crime would drop. The positivist theory subscribes to the opposite of the rational choice theory. Under this school of thought individuals with lower intelligence or lacking social status do not have the same ability to make a rational choice when it comes to the ability to make a choice to, or not to, commit a crime.
In the CNN library of, “ISIS Fast Facts” CNN shares the story of ISIS the group known for killing dozens of people in the public by executions, beheading or brutal acts. Not accepting the loss of their jobs many anger without a job established al Qaeda in Iraq to wage against U.S. A. In the process to establish an Islamic caliphate, or state across the region. In school’s boys and girls are forced to separate, also enforce no justice for women.
The criminal justice system has some major elements. These elements are criminal law, police, courts, corrections and social workers. They are set into place to prevent or deter crime by apprehending, trying, punishing, and re-entering offenders back into society.
Summary: In Serte, Libya; more than 50 people were hung, tortured, and murdered by the terror group ISIS. This has been going on since February of 2015 and it has been a constant issue.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant otherwise known as ISIS is a transnational Sunni insurgent group led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This group has been established since 2003 and has it’s origins in the Iraq war which lasted until 2011. In March of 2011 conflict has been raging in Syria. 15 schoolchildren were arrested and repeatedly tortured after writing anti-government graffiti on a wall.*Similar to the Holocaust* This eventually led to a civil war between the government and rebel groups, which wanted the president to step down. After 4 peaceful protesters were killed after the government army opened fire. Afterwards, during the funeral of the protestors the government opened fire and killed one other person. This eventually led to a
The argument proposed is for the protection of human rights universally, therefor not excluding terror suspects. The aim is to establish whether the current methods operating are protective of terror suspects human rights, and if not, what changes can ensure the protection. Through considering counter-terrorism legislation pre and post 9/11 and its effectiveness, alternatives will be proposed in order to protect the rights of terror suspects.
Justice. Dictionary meaning: just behaviour or treatment – “A concern for justice, peace, and genuine respect for people". Everyone deserves access to justice and a fair trial. It’s what inspires, motivates and fuels my desire to specialise in law.
This week, our learning subject was focused on the “Corrections Policy”. Therefore, For this Discussion, I chose to discuss is the “Prisons and Terrorism”.
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks have represented the end of the warfare system built in the aftermath of the Second World War. On the other hand, the tough US reaction culminated in the creation of a new order shaped by the terrorist threat and characterized by the so-called “war on terror”: an unprecedented way of doing politics and conducing conflicts. This scenario brought new challenges and perils to the legal framework aimed at regulating the relationships within international actors: international law, international humanitarian law and human rights law. New tendencies on behalf of States jeopardize the international system as a whole.
One is left with many questions to answer when she/he tries to figure out if there exists any relationship between Sharia Law and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) human rights record. The world has experienced a series of killings in the name of religion and political interests that have given the human rights watch a hard task to take. Most human rights violations are rampant in certain regions of the world dominated by the Islamic religion. The world has also experienced wars between Islamic and non-Islamic states. In order to get to the root cause of human rights violations, it is important to understand what the Sharia law is and the human rights reports on the ISIS.
