A Speech On Kellie Birkett's Degree In Criminal Justice
Good Morning! I am Kellie Birkett the wife to an amazing husband, mother to 6 children, full-time student and full-time manager at my place of employment. Our children range from 19-6, with our oldest being a freshman at ICC this year and youngest just starting 1st grade. I am on my last year of my associates of applied science. My major is criminal justice. I am very busy but have done very well juggling all of these things through to past 2 years but I am ready for graduation.

    In the situation to be discussed Jack tried to kill Bert but instead killed Pratt. He then tried again to kill Bert but his weapon suffered a malfunction and he got into his car, put the gun in the glove compartment and disappeared from the scene. After reading the textbook, I understood that an attempt is a failure, according to Professor George Fletcher. There are three elements that comprise a criminal attempt; an intent or purpose to commit a crime, an act or acts toward the commission of the crime, and a failure to commit the crime.…

    Heather Macald The Justice System

    During slavery and the Jim Crow error, the justice system was beyond biased. I don’t believe that the justice system is racist today. If you're willing to do the crime than you're willing to do the time. Heather Mac Donald states,” a 1987 analysis of Georgia felony convictions, for example, found that blacks frequently received more lenient punishment.” Here it says that blacks get a longer sentence for the committed crime as too other races. In the last paragraph Heather Mac Donald says,” the evidence is clear: black prison rates result from crime, not racism.” The justice system looks at their offenses as well as criminal records. The longer your record, the longer your sentence.…

    The Swinging Pendulum of Prison Philosophies

    The corrections leg of the criminal justice system is ineffective because the efforts being made to rehabilitate criminals and keep society safe are failing substantially. The reason for the failure of the current correctional system and all correctional systems in the history of American prisons is an imbalance in the goals of criminal sentencing. These goals can be measured in success by how they were used in the past eras of prison history. Within the 20th century there were 5 prison eras, along with the current prison era. Not one of these eras used a combination of all sentencing goals, leaving an unbalanced and unsuccessful correctional system. It is necessary to review the 20th century prison philosophies, for the purpose of establishing the reasons for failure, in order to create a successful correctional philosophy for the 21st century. A reformation of the correctional system which includes the removal of all non-violent offenders, a period in which violent inmates are in total isolation, intense individual therapy, group therapy, educational and vocational training and a one year probation period after release from prison will allow for criminals to successfully reintegrate into society. In creating a system that balances all five goals of criminal sentencing along with a multiple step program favoring rehabilitation, it is very possible that a balanced and successful correctional system can be formed.…

    Final Essay: Introduction To The Criminal Justice System

    The correctional system in the United States plays a major role in the criminal justice system. The correctional system is responsible for punishing individuals that have been found guilty of a crime. The main form of punishment is incarceration in either a prison or a jail. The correctional system is also responsible for rehabilitating offenders and preparing them to become productive members of society upon their release. By punishing and/or rehabilitating offenders, the main focus of the system to keep society safe.…

    One person comes to mind when I think of a person who has come from a typically described as “good” family background.

    Civil Injuction Process

    Before the modern era, youth who committed crimes in the Western world received no preferential treatment because of their age. These children were adjudicated, punished, and confined alongside adult offenders. In more recent years the juvenile justice system has maintained different priorities than those that exist in the adult criminal justice system. However, there are still many get tough advocates of law and order, many of whom are fed up with violent juvenile crime, that are increasingly questioning the philosophy that underlies the juvenile justice system in America. Many people call for harsher punishments while others call for better rehabilitation programs for youth offenders. This paper will focus on the differences between the adult and juvenile justice systems, and whether rehabilitation or incarceration is the best method to assist in reducing the juvenile crime rate and help today’s youth become contributing members of society.…
