A Review of Literature

INTRODUCTION The United States has currently been struggling with a great deal of political warfare, social unrest and public protest from the inside and from terrorism, global criticism and immigration battles from the outside. There are so many issues that the subjects of debate seem endless. One of the most controversial and often debated issues today is gun control. There is no doubt that it is incredibly dangerous when offenders are armed when they commit crimes like burglary or in a car-jacking; more so when these offenders have every premeditated intent to kill. At the same time, not everyone ...

Recently, various analysts and American policy makers have established Africa’s growing strategic significance to the United States’ interests. Among other benefits, there are the Africa’s natural resources. Notably, to access such, the country has to cultivate cooperation with African nations and deter various security issues in the continent. For instance, there are alarming concerns over violent extremist activities among other threats perpetrated by maritime piracy, under-governed spaces, and illegal trafficking of weapons and drugs. Additionally, there are mounting concerns about the ongoing humanitarian crisis, civil wars, armed conflicts as well as general challenges such as HIV/AIDs and ...

INTRODUCTION

There are some events in the course of the world’s growth and development that seem likely to occur; people will experience conflict, social unrest, possible warfare and any number of natural disasters that can devastate communities all across the globe. In the modern era one of the most terrifying of occurrences are terrorist attacks. Terrorist threats can exist unnoticed; no one knows when they may occur and what public place, government buildings or function that may be targeted. This makes terrorist attacks a huge source of stress, fear and shock for the people and for the governments involved. ...

Incarceration is used to deter juveniles from committing crimes, making the juvenile system more punitive. Serious juvenile crimes are those of a violent in nature, as reported in the FBI Uniform Crime Report. Juvenile arrests for robbery were alarming as this increased more than 30% since 2004 (Roberts 3). Female offenders for robbery have also increased, as reported in 1985 to 2002. Drug abuse violations rank next, but could also be the reason for committing robbery and violent crimes. This kind of juvenile offenses can be considered serious and needs more severe punishment. However, the question here is the ...

Introduction

One of the most common strategies of criminal defense attorneys when representing a defendant who has an unusual condition such as a mental abnormality, is to argue either that regardless of their actions, they are nevertheless not responsible for the crime or that they never had the capacity to commit a crime. The reason that criminal defense attorneys can make these arguments is that criminal law recognizes a number of unique situations where otherwise criminal conduct should not be subjected to a determination of guilt and the offender should be exempted from the crime (LaFave, 2000). These arguments, which ...

Introduction

It is a sad fact is that rape remains a common crime all over the world, and different countries have different punishments for convicted rapists. Chemical castration is a process where drugs are used for reducing sexual activity and libido of the convicts. Among all the options that are present in the judicial systems, probably the most logical solution is chemical castration. Chemical castration is a process where drugs are used for reducing sexual activity and libido of the convicts (Park). Even though some people might claim that chemical castration seems too harsh a punishment, but it is only ...

Yes, I agree with this decision, and the court was right to hold that capital punishment or capital punishment cannot be applied to the case of rape of minors for various reasons which I will set out in the subsequent sections of this paper. The law on the capital punishment in the US is found in the individual criminal codes of each state, but the jurisprudence of the death penalty has largely been shaped by the US Supreme Court. The law in this area was enunciated by the same court when it made it clear in Coker v Georgia ( ...

In comparison to the 1980’s, juvenile delinquency has been on the rise throughout the 1990’s and 2000’s. Personality traits and psychological theories explain delinquent behaviour among the juveniles. Psychological issues such as mental illnesses, dysfunctional homes, and influential songs and videos could have triggered events that led Bale Dale Loukaitis to hold algebra students hostage at the Front Middle School. The Psychiatry and psychoanalytical approach together with general personality trait theories would help understand the underlying factors to Loukaitis’ violent behaviour. To counter delinquency psychodynamic – psychoanalytical theories and personality theories can help identify common delinquents’ characteristic ...

Facts

This case presents a compelling argument about the importance of maintaining good corporate practices in the business sector. Computer Associates is facing a difficult economic situation due to the flaws in the management. High profile executives like Stephen Richards utilize foul accounting practices to augment the company’s sales values and to improve its performance in the public traded stocks. For instance, the company employees manipulate the sales dates by calculating returns from different fiscal quarters. Additionally, the internal audit committee fails to reveal the nature of their financial inadequacies upon the first audit. By violating the Generally Accepted ...

The Cold War was not only a period in American history where the United States was locked in a massive international rivalry and arms race with the Soviet Union but it was a time of fervent technological, strategic and political development. The United States during World War II had developed a massive new process for technical progress with an applied goal. That is to say, the Manhattan project which culminated with the building of the first ever Atomic bomb was a very important milestone. It showed that civilians and the military could work together for a common goal. While ...

The criminal justice refers to a system of practices and government institutions which mitigate and deter crime, sanctioning with criminal penalties those that violate the law, rehabilitation efforts and upholding social control. The five pillars of the criminal justice system are the courts, correction, the community, the prosecution and the law enforcement Implementation of legislation appears to differ according to race, minority, and economic resources. In the criminal justice system, racial disproportionality is a fact. Racial profiling results from institutionalized biases, individual officer stereotyping or racism and from the organizational culture of agencies that enforce laws (Crutchfield, 2005, p. ...

The get-tough policies focus on punishment as the sole and primary response to crime. It is worth noting that the model countries emphasize the use of get-tough policy in dealing with crime. The model countries include Germany, France, China, Japan, England, and Saudi Arabia (Dammer and Jay 67). These programs include truth-in-sentencing, zero tolerance, mandatory sentencing, three strokes and other harsher penalties. The model countries have experienced a decrease in the crime rate since the implementation of get-tough policies. The effects of get-tough policies are alarming in most model countries. In fact, most of the organized crimes have declined ...

The “exclusionary rule” is one of the most important elements of United States criminal procedure law, but it is not found in the Constitution. Indeed, the exclusionary rule is a court created procedure that allows a judge to declare inadmissible any testimony or evidence presented at trial that was result of or otherwise obtained in violation of the Bill of Rights’ Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Amendments. In other words, while the basis of the exclusionary rule is the Constitution, it is not a constitutional right. Rather the exclusionary rule was created as a means for the court to prevent ...

B.F Skinner (1938) came up with the Operant conditioning theory which he described as, the process that one is able to explain the behaviours of an individual by looking at the actions preceded the happening or occurrence. As per the theory, various factors when brought into the picture will cause an individual either to continue acting in a particular way or they may be used to deter him or her from acting in that particular manner. This theory was then further divided into two; Reinforcement and Punishment. As per the theory, Reinforcement is the consequences that encourage an individual ...

It is the duty of each and every person to take care of the environment and further to have in place an environment that will enable the world regenerate and in turn be favourable for the day to day living of man today and the future. Various measures have been put in place in order for this to happen. These include the coming up with the bio-degradable products and further, to look for the alternative sources of energy that reduce the amount of harmful emissions. One of these methods is the coming up with the green cars which are ...

The end of World War II ushered in a new era in international policy. After the Axis powers were defeated, the world became polarized between two competing camps: the democratic capitalists, and the authoritarian communists. The first twenty years after the war were especially critical, as various US presidents sought to implement policies to contain the threat of the spreading red nations, which no world leader had seen before. Important policies such as the Truman Doctrine, New Look, and Flexible Response were created to protect American interests, though they at times differed from each other. Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and ...

Introduction

The United States Constitution can be described as the highest law of the land. During court proceedings, the constitution is the supreme law that is applicable in determining the outcome of criminal litigation, but other laws arise from the Amendments to the Constitution. The United States Constitution often guides how the government should function, the jurisdiction of the presidency, American Congress, and the Supreme Court. It is, however, paramount to note that all American states have their own Constitutions that they enact and follow, but the federal constitution is considered the highest law that overrides other state laws in ...

Introduction Death, as a form of punishment, is being practiced even in the earliest days of human civilization. The people of ancient Mesopotamia, during the time of Hammurabi, have been observed to perform death sentences on certain transgressions and immoral acts, as determined by their codes . Similarly, the Hebrews has also been using death as a capital punishment for several transgressions under their law. The traditional Law of Moses, which can also be read in the Christian bible, is, in fact, a relic of the age old tradition of exacting death penalty that has been practiced for ...

Mental Illness Among Criminals

The prison systems have been over populated by many criminals in our country. The increasing rate of prisoners who have been diagnosed with mental illness is increasing. Many criminals have either been diagnosed with mental illness before being arrested and put into prison or they were diagnosed with mental issues after being incarcerated. The inmates with mental illness while committing crimes may have done so because of their illness. The people who were incarcerated and then diagnosed could have had mental problems because of the prisons system they are now living in. It can cause inmates to become depressed, ...

The Criminal Justice System has many styles and techniques that are used in law enforcement. The policing styles have changed over the years and has improved in areas that had been difficult to maintain in the past. The historical era of policing revolved around the watchman style of police work. The watchmen style of police work has evolved around keeping peace and catching criminals who were not following the laws. In the lower class neighborhoods is where many watchmen were used to keeping the disruptiveness down and maintain order. The watchmen style worked well for that time period when ...

African Americans have suffered from police brutality in the United States since time in memorial. It is disheartening to see unarmed African Americans suffer in the hands of white police with many either sustaining serious unimaginable injuries or even in extreme cases losing their lives. It is quite unclear how racial discrimination continues to haunt even the new century with more fatalities recorded in the civilized era where governments have enacted policies to protect each person from all sort of discrimination. Police brutality is and has been an increasingly notorious act of discrimination of the colored skin people, mostly ...

Civil Rights History in the United States

The Civil Rights movement came to the fore almost after almost 100 years after the abolishment of slavery, but the predominant white populace, especially in the Southern States, found ways to get around the legal laws and statutes. Jim Crow Laws limited the way the American African American and populaces were allowed – to, or not – to vote, further there were other written and unwritten societal rules which were intended to intimidate during the 1950s and 1960s peoples of African American origin where meant to alienate and deter the mingling between whites and blacks at any level of societal interactions. ...

Introduction

The World Economic Forum stated that the gender pay gap may take 118 years to close. The gender pay gap is the average disparity in men and women’s total hourly wages earned, which can be attributed to different factors such as level of education, expertise, type of industry and length of work among others (Grimley, n.p). Statistics showed that despite the increased participation of women in the labor force, their salary remains to be significantly lower than that of men, even in highly industrialized countries. The existence of a wide gap between men and women’s average earnings ...

Throughout the history of criminal law and policymaking in the United States as well as in other countries, the death penalty has always been the issue of paramount importance kept on the front burner by media, policymakers and public. The controversy in terms of capital punishment relates not only to religion and morality, but is also associated with considerable social and economic costs. In other words, “the contemporary debate over capital punishment involves a number of important arguments based on either moral principles or social welfare considerations” (Dezhbakhsh & Shepherd, 2003, p. 1). Numerous researchers and influential leaders of public ...

It is disheartening to observe two nations that underwent significant changes in the last century failed to capitalize on their reforms for the penal systems. South Africa declared itself of free of apartheid rule and yet finds its indigenous population reeling under the present government. The German model for reforms was on track until the political pressures overtook it (Cavadino, Cavadino, and Dignan, 2005). The cry is for stricter laws against criminals and yet, they are unable to follow the examples of the Netherlands or learn from the mistakes made by the United States. The South African people still ...

Just the sound of the words murder or killing someone tells us that something is wrong. The thoughts and feelings we get after learning that someone has been killed, proves to us that killing is very wrong. Therefore, how can we be comfortable with passing a law that supports the death penalty? The death penalty is a legal procedure whereby the state executes a person as a punishment for the crimes/offenses he/she has committed (Kaufman 546). Therefore, when the capital punishment law is not abolished, it means that we will see many murders of people who this sentence has ...

Introduction

The type and theory of punishment a convicted criminal receives different in different parts of the world. The rehabilitative theory of punishment had been used predominately in early America but had the system has transformed into a retributive model. Many Western Countries adhere to the theory of rehabilitation as a theory of punishment. On the other hand, there are many countries to favor the retributive model of punishment. Middle Eastern, African and Asian countries adhere to the idea that the offender must pay for the crime. Both the rehabilitative and retribution theory of punishment have social and philosophical implications. ...

There is considerable increase in crime rate in campuses within the United States, especially with regard to murders, robbery, as well as aggravated and sexual assault. This situation has led to the debate regarding whether to allow students to carry guns in a bid to protect and defend themselves from criminals while in college (Birnbaum 13). It is important to note that in the state of Utah, students, faculty members, and visitors who have licenses to carry concealed weapons are allowed to carry firearms on campus. From the outset, it is also important to note that many, if not ...

Homeland Security Discussion 3

Global Threats Global hazards are events that can affect not only one country but the entire human population. Currently, many experts believe that the biggest global threat the world is facing is climate change. Many believe that this is already beginning to transform life in the planet as seasons starts to shift and the temperatures are already climbing which cause the sea level to rise. This affects not only the human population but also other species on Earth. Climate change mitigation efforts have already started and one of which is to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and looking ...

When it gets into an individual’s system, a psychoactive substance affects mental processes such as cognition. Specifically, it works like a psychotropic substance that can alter the functions of the central nervous system. Such alterations can lead to temporary changes in mood, behavior, perception, and consciousness (Wood 65). According to Wood, people may use the drug for recreational purposes to alter their consciousness in a way that is similar to using alcohol, coffee, or cannabis sativa (65). On the other hand, some people can use it as medications in a way that is similar to the consumption of ...

Proponents of utilitarianism envision a situation where human actions are judged by their consequences. According to Bentham, the best moral action must always maximize utility. Simply put, actions should ensure they bring about the greatest happiness among human beings. An action that does not promote happiness among people therefore does not meet this threshold. Bentham further argues that such actions must involve the two aspects of happiness; quality and quantity. Consequences, therefore, not legality, should form the basis of justification of actions by humans. Stuart Mill supports this proposition by arguing that bringing or increasing pleasure among humans should ...

The use of guns has been a controversial issue for many decades. The argument of gun violence and gun protraction has been an important discussion regarding political parties. “The Constitutional Second Amendment states that people have the right bear arms” . This means that people of society have the right to own a gun and protect themselves. Even though the Constitution states bearing arms is legal, there are many groups that do not think this is a good idea. The crime that occurs in our country results in a lot of gun issues involved in these crimes. People who should ...

Crime has increased over the last decade in our country. The crime rate not only has risen, but the number of crimes committed by juveniles has increased. In order to reduce the crime rate amongst society is to get a head start on early intervention. “One way would be to visit children who are in elementary school, and spread the information of what crime is, and how not to end up involved in it” . Kids who are made aware of the dangers of crime are more apt to stay away from criminal activity. The reason for discussing crime prevention ...

The capital punishment is a form of punishment that is applied in the criminal justice system. It is worth noting that death penalty is one of the debatable issues in the world. Canada is one of the countries that debate on the death penalty as a form of punishment. For many centuries, countries have utilized capital punishment as a strategy for dealing with serious criminals. The form of punishment in Canada dates back to the era of the British colony. This was a form of punishment that was administered to those conceited of murder, assault, rape, buggery of animals, ...

Introduction

Adolescent sex offenders are youths aged between 12 years and 17 years who forcefully commit sexual acts with persons of any age, against the will of their victims or without consent in an exploitative, aggressive, and threatening manner (Ryan, 2010). It is difficult to accurately determine the prevalence of adolescent sex crimes due to the absence of comprehensive or accurate national statistics. However, the police, public, and policymakers are increasingly scrutinizing the instances where juveniles commit sexual offenses. Previously, the public did not pay attention to the problem, as most people were of the opinion that boys will always ...

One of the purposes of criminal law is to impress upon the public the necessity of acting in a manner that society or the state deems desirable. One way that the state achieves this purpose is to impose punishment on those found guilty of undesirable conduct (LaFave, 2000). Naturally, over the course of criminal law in human history, multiple theories of punishment have been developed. Two such theories are contained in the classical and positivist schools of criminological analysis. In order to understand the differences between these two schools, it is important to first understand some of their fundamental ...

PROBLEM WITH CONGESTION

Argumentative Essay: Capital Punishment

Introduction Capital punishment is one of the most controversial topics pertaining to criminal punishment. For many years, this issue has been debated, yet until today, no conclusive position has been reached especially in the United States. Discussing the issue of capital punishment is important primarily because people are divided on whether capital punishment should be imposed or abolished. Furthermore, capital punishment raises an ethical dilemma that needs to be resolved since it is crucial in achieving a just justice system. This paper would like to argue that capital punishment is a just form of punishment.

The arguments that support ...

Guns are one of the weapons that have been considered to be very dangerous over the years but with the advancements in technology, other weapons that are more dangerous have been invented. Several decades have passed since the invention of guns as weapons and as time has been passing, there has been advancement of guns in terms of make, size, and weight among others. Initially, the guns that were made were long and bulky and as such carrying them was difficult. Advancements in technology has seen the invention of hand held guns whose portability is not a factor of ...

Retributive rationale and Utilitarian Rationale

In retributive rationale, the idea of retribution is to ensure that an act of wrong is balanced in the form of punishment inflicted on the offender (Blackburn, Fowler and Pollock, 2012). It is important to note that retribution does not involve a revenge mission as the people giving the punishment have been given the authority to do so by law. The process of deciding the punishment to be done on the offender requires a certain specific procedure to be followed (Blackburn, Fowler and Pollock, 2012). The victim cannot be granted the power to provide punishment for the offender as ...

In this regard, several social organizations note the increase in the level of the violent behavior in relation to the children what falls within the scope of the child abuse. In face, it is hard to measure all acts of the child abuse within the country as the majority of the families do not report the organizations about the inability to behave the child, while the social organizations responsible for the behavior of the children can not ...

Questions

Community Corrections have formed an integral part of the criminal justice system. Over the years, community corrections provide criminal offenders with numerous viable options to incarceration as a means to deter crime and promote community safety. Parole, bail supervision program, probation, intensive supervision probation and community service order are some of the alternatives accorded to offenders in different stages of a correctional process. Community corrections help to separate criminals from law abiding citizens, reduce government expenditure on deterring crime (cost-savings) and create a favorable environment to reintegrate the offenders to the society.

Probation means a period of supervision that is accorded to ...

1) The idea of probation started when courts saw the need to suspend the execution of sentences to enable defendants appeal to the monarch for pardon. Courts further saw the need to allow defendants to reform by the time of sentencing. The advantages of probation include the provision of opportunities for reform by low-risk offenders in lieu of imprisonment. Probation also protects defendants’ employment and societal stability. Probation is also cheaper than incarceration, which costs taxpayers hundreds of dollars per day for each offender. Modern probation includes new forms such as diversion programs and electronic monitoring. Electronic ...

The prison system that currently exists today offers a retribution measure instead of corrective actions to assert and ensure that the convicted assailants, after serving their prison time, could go back to the community as responsible individuals. While this is the case, a documentary featured in 2005 and 2009 documents a different role of prisons. Aside from housing convicted individuals, it also serves as a modern day asylum for mentally-ill individuals convicted of committing a crime against society.

I am writing this memo as my personal take on the existing problem regarding the release of convicted mentally-ill individuals to the society after serving ...

Criminology

Contemporary critical criminology and its power on crime and terrorism Contemporary critical criminology main goal is to assess how criminal law is used as an instrument of social control. O’Conner (2014) states that it views crime as a product of social conflict and economic inequality. Contemporary critical criminology defines power as the economic and social structures that control all human beings. In the past decade or so, critical criminology has been more evident than ever before as many crimes and political notions have risen in the society. Among these crimes is the every growing and very dangerous crime ...

Introduction

There is a growing contention among critics about the number of people of color that makes up the population in prison or parole. Pettit and Western (2004) have questioned the credibility of the justice system when it comes to incarcerating, policing, or sentencing of people of color. Current statistics reveal that blacks are handled disproportionally as opposed to the majority white community (Pettit & Western, 2004). Further, these theorists related the incarceration, policing, or sentencing pattern to racial disparities in the criminal justice system. United States has had a long history of racial disparity that led elicited activism by the blacks. Presently, ...

Abstract

This paper discusses one of the prevalent ethical issues in our present criminal justice system which is police planting evidence on the suspect. The planting of evidence on a suspect or profiling of innocent people is considered police misconduct. The driving force for the police to commit such crime is due to corruption. During police investigations, the police abuse their power by fabricating or planting of evidence to obtain false conviction by taking money in exchange for favors. Police resort to corruption, engage in other illegal means to earn income and break departmental policies due ...

The death penalty arrived at after a decision by a judicial process to execute someone as a punishment for breaking the law. In some cases this form of punishment is referred to as capital punishment based on the fact that the crimes which are punished this way are called capital offences. The term capital on its part comes from a Latin word ‘capitalis’ which when directly translated means ‘regarding the head’. This is why the earliest form of capital punishment was mainly beheading or hanging. However there has been criticism regarding this form of punishment based on the philosophy that no ...

The topic on capital punishment, particularly death penalty remains debatable. In fact, different people have different opinions on death penalty and as such it is widely debated. The main question that arises is, “Should people be sentenced to death?” The topic, therefore, has two contrasting sides. Whereas some people view death penalty as inhuman and a violation of human rights, other also have enough reasons to justify death penalty. As such, there is an endless debate on whether or not death penalty is the right thing to do. This paper presents an argumentative essay providing reasons for and against ...

The hegemonic status of the United States military results in unequal and unfair treaties with other, less powerful countries; these treaties often include clauses that make prosecuting the US military men difficult. In this essay, I argue that the military power of the US has created a culture for American soldiers which eliminates potential consequences for violent crimes; this culture has led to an increase in violence against women from other countries as well as against women within the United States military. Assault, murder, and rape by the US military personnel go unpunished. These acts of violence are perceived in ...

The criminal justice system have sought to instill peace and order to society. A careful evaluation of methods to deter crime, seek retribution, and impose punishment is through the imposition of the death penalty. Statistics from Amnesty International revealed that some countries still actively implement capital punishment. The countries that continue to execute inmates, in descending order, were disclosed as follows: “China, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, USA and Somalia” (Haddou, 2014, par. 2). There are people, groups, or nations that support capital punishment; while others contest the death penalty for specifically identified reasons. The current discourse ...

Question 1

Biosocial criminology cannot lead to oppressive and inhumane crime-control policies since it combines information across various fields of study in order to create cohesive perspective to study the relationship of crime and criminals (Beaver and Walsh, 2011). This means that by studying how the genetic influences play a major role in the formation of the anti-social behavior, can lead to effective crime control policies to deter crimes in the future. Several behavioral genetic studies of antisocial behaviours have shown how the study of mild forms of aggression can lead to deviant forms of criminal behavior of a person. It is the ...

Traffic crashes is an exceptional cause of deaths in the United States. The number of deaths occasioned by traffic crashes is higher compared to deaths caused by terrorism. Moreover, it is discernible that damages consequential from traffic crashes account for approximately four hundred billion dollars in the United States. The immense deaths and losses caused by the traffic crashes has compelled scholars to write works that detail the causes of traffic crashes and legislation on traffic crashes. This is in order to tackle the ever rising number of traffic crashes by emphasizing the causes of the crashes. The authors ...

According to Hermanson (2011), static budget is based on the projected level of output and does not change significantly with the changes in activity, while flexible budget provides different cost levels, depending from the projected amount of output.

We may claim that Charter School Budget is flexible, as it suggests several scenarios, and reflects changes in cost structures depending on the amount of output. We may also observe that total revenues of the charter school are divided into two different types: revenues and grants. While the amount of revenues depends on the amount of students enrolled, the amount of ...
