Essays on Criminals

1 A I agree with Joh (2004)’s idea that there is a new silver platter doctrine in the making. Here, private cops now have the ability to present the “silver platter to local, state, and federal public policing agencies. Now, this doctrine focuses on the fact that private officials can turn over evidence to their federal counterparts without much regard to suppression even if the former obtained this information through illegal search processes. In essence, the doctrine does not allow public police agencies to conduct unreasonable search and seizure activities. Thus, all pieces of evidence obtained using this ...

Culture: Multicultural Issues in Corrections

Question One Correctional officers must strive to build rapport with inmates from all backgrounds while remaining neutral to all backgrounds. I would create rapport with inmates from diverse cultures by providing innovative and bold leadership through cross-cultural knowledge and advocacy, respect, and empathy for various cultural perspectives. Furthermore, I would incorporate conceptions of cultural diversity to improve the spirit and harmony at the correctional facilities. I would try to learn some of their cultural practices and values so as to know how to deal with them based on their cultural inclinations (“National Commission on Correctional,” n.d). Yes, cultural competence ...

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...

Happiness is a notion, which is widely discussed since it is cannot de described exactly. Different people have different understanding of the term. But one thing is for sure that it is reflection of one’s good deeds on others, return of a favor in other words. Reciprocity is returning the favor on the one hand, but can be vengeance on the other. This is the natural feeling, which makes the human complete when he returns the favor or takes vengeance, whereas incomplete and depressed if he can’t. Empathy is also one of the descriptions of reciprocity from ...

The term ‘actus reus’ refers to the physical component of the crime, while ‘mens rea’ addresses the mental aspect of the offence. Situations, when the alleged perpetrator has the actus reus, but lack mens rea can be different, and a solution depends on the constituent components of a particular crime. First of all, strict liability offences and a range of other offences that differ across statutes and common law under different jurisdictions do not require proving mens rea. Strict liability often refers to minor offences (e.g., selling alcohol to an under-aged individual), where it is hard to determine the ...

Introduction

If we were to ask 100 people randomly to describe a criminal, most like they will describe the most recent experience they had of a crime or criminal. Most recent experiences could be what they read on the news on the way to work, in another word what they read or watched on the most recent media exposure they had, or it could also be a personal criminal experience they had. Some people live in neighborhoods that are dangerous so they have more experience with gangs, while others might have been robbed recently, either pickpockets or online fraud, etc. ...

In the majority of states all crimes are divided into two groups: felonies and misdemeanors. The difference between these two groups is in seriousness of crimes. (Hasselm, 2011) If this is a felony, an accused person can get 1 year in prison, life imprisonment without parole or even the death penalty. If it is a misdemeanor, an accused person could be punished by less than 1 year or a year of imprisonment and/or fine. Crimes are not equal in weight. General public considers some of the crimes more severe than others. (Kappeler, 2014) The majority of people considers the ...

Howard’s text has significantly explored the definition and depiction of cyber-crime. It has swiftly combined theoretical work, substantial research, and first-hand experience in driving the point home. The analysis wades through the growth and development of organized crime using objective mechanisms. The text is reader-friendly and successfully guides students in grasping the various dimensions of organized crime. However, with the advent of technology leading to the growth of organized cyber-criminal groups, there is room for refining the description provided by this enumerative text (Abadinsky, 2012). After a critical evaluation of the text’s definition, this paper discusses the ...

Megan Ybarra and Paul Greenough examines the politics of ecology management in different academic works. The two works have similarities and contradictions between them, with some of the arguments rhyming with the popular beliefs while others are contradictory. In the article titled Bio-Ironies of the Fractured Forest appearing on the Series called In Search of The Rain Forest, Mr Greenough examines different hypotheses on conservation and the relationship between the wildlife and human beings which he refers to as “bio-ironies”).

Examining criminals and victimization

What two theories do you think would be most helpful in understanding the crimes of the author's bogeyman? Rational choice theory Social structure theory Are there elements that we still need to know to formulate a better understanding of the bogeyman's behavior? The social heritage of the bogeyman is particularly important in determining if there has been a criminal manifestation in their lineage. While crime remains a decision, it can as well be acquired from a criminal lineage. Some might find it very attractive when there is evidence within the family hierarchy of successful criminals. The socio-political environment at ...

The science of Criminology is a relatively new field of science (Siegel, 2010). The beginnings of real criminology are noted with the Classical school of thought, whose scholars hypothesized that crime, is a result of the discerning decision and can be controlled with prevention strategies. (Hall, 2013) Since that time criminologists have developed, exacerbated, or grown new thoughts of why individuals perpetrate crime, including speculations that lead to biological, psychological, and sociological reasons for crime which we will discuss further. (Siegel, 2010) Some of the first attempts to explain crime were essentially biological in nature. Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso, ...

Abstract

The issue of how criminals are sentenced and treated is a problem within in the United States and around the world. The sentence given for a crime that is committed is not always equal from one state or region to another. Diversion programs are therefore a method that have been created to offer a second chance to first-time offenders and youthful offenders that are deemed worthy of a second chance. These programs are designed to be supervised and carried out by certified and experienced professionals at the behest of the court, and are meant to curb any and all ...

Crime is considered as a way of adopting ideas and techniques that break the ethical boundaries and governmental laws as well. The current paper tends to explore and elaborate the different aspects of crimes, their features, and their impact on the social order of the world.

The divisive nature of the issue is such that the nature of proposed response can influence the voting decisions ...

1. Importance. Domestic policy is like a patchwork of various issues, each of which demands scrupulous governmental action. Today I would like to focus on one of extremely important public policies, which unfortunately seems to be underestimated nowadays. In particular, the issue of homelessness evokes, on the one hand, serious anxiety in statesmen as well as in common people, whereas, on the other hand, it is simultaneously concealed and ignored. The reasons of such ambiguous attitude is that society either estimates homelessness as relic of the past (allegedly, contemporary governments have more important issues to care about – e.g., terrorism, ...

Broadly speaking there are two kinds of crimes that are committed against a state, county or city. The two categories are blue-collar crimes and white-collar crimes. In the olden days, blue-collar crimes referred to crimes committed by an individual considered to be of low socioeconomic standing.

Today, these kinds of crimes are the kind of crimes attributable to rage or emotion (even though there are exceptions) and which entail the use of violence. In most cases, blue-collar crimes are not as calculated as white-collar crimes. Examples ...

There has been a large demand for the continued advancement in forensic science for quite some time. Though much of what went into the practice wasn’t fully understood until the early 20th century. Until then forensic specialists were largely self-taught and not as highly regarded when it came to their role in law enforcement. Forensic science is a boon that has revolutionized law enforcement. According to The History of Forensic Science (2011) the first classes to teach the subject weren’t adopted until 1902. It also wasn’t until the 1930s that the course began to catch on ...

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

Abstract Encountering the information about a crime, we tend to find out the allegedly basic issues concerning one’s guilt and the accountability of an offender in the form of just punishment. Such approach is not an exception or a rare case, instead – it is an overwhelming thought. However, in fact, the committing of a crime is far more complicated issue than the mere interrelation between illegal act and inevitable punishment. Nevertheless, people are still likely to neglect the accomplishments of restorative justice as one of incomprehensible novelties. Therefore, this paper is dedicated to the revealing of the truth ...

LSI-R And Oasys Diagnostic Techniques in a Criminal Case

The expansion of the operational convict reentry system is among the most dangerous encounters that correction facilities face in the 21st century. To tackle the need for enhanced services, greater prominence has been employed concerning the application of practices that are evidence-based and, precisely, the application of risk and requirements valuations to monitor programming and planning of case for criminals whether in the prison or going back to the society. The contemporary inclination is to use fair, actuarial valuations instead of depending on perception, common sense or preference to enlighten behavior and management approaches. This paper looks into LSI-R ...

Were the convicts hardened criminals, innocent poachers or something in between?

The convicts that were sent to Australia ranged from being murderers and thieves to being advocates for social and political reform and debtors. However, no matter their reason for being sent to the penal colony, they all had the fact that being poor contributed to their crimes in common.

Victor considers the issue connected with the panic in the American society connected with the existence of satanic cults. The author’s thesis is clear: he believes that satanic cults with all the terrors connected with them are non-existent: “None of these claims (is) supported by reliable evidence. My research suggests that they are baseless and misleading. Moreover, these claims exploit widespread fears, particularly the anxieties parents have about their children. The claims are significant, however, because they are themselves the symptoms of serious problems ...

ABSTRACT

Gun Control is a very serious and regularly debated issue in this modern area. Some feel very strongly that the resolution to gun violence is to restrict guns from the public and therefore lessening gun related crime and accidental injury. However, that is not how all Americans feel. They see gun control measures as a direct infringement on the Constitutional rights, it would leave Americans defenseless and would, in fact, increase crime rates not lessen them. The bulk of research tends to lean toward the reality that gun control will not have the desired effect that gun control supporters ...
