    Summary Of Criminal Justice By Adam Foss

    The Adam Foss's video lecture was informative. I was impressed how his desire for prestige and power had changed because he realized that his decision as a young prosecutor could damage a person for life. However, I agree with him in his point of view that the Criminal Justice System needs to be reform by providing resources to help in understanding why and what gave the defendant the mindset to engage in criminal activities. Nevertheless, our prison system is not equipped to create a productive system because of its negative environment only just remake some of them into a career criminal. This is what I have seen and had many inmates to share with me during my assessment interview. Therefore, as Mr. Foss has stated if the Criminal Justice…

    Curt Lemon's Injustice: A Short Story

    All those fucking VCs, they should all get killed. Nam should be entirely destroyed! TNT should be placed all over Vietnam so this bitch would disappear from the map. That’s all it deserves after taking away my freaking best friend. I did see plenty of people die in Vietnam, but this was fucking unbelievable, partly because he was my fucking best friend and partly because of the way it happened. Just like we used to, Curt and I went to play catch with a smoke grenade, which was certainly the greatest game ever thought, under some huge trees; the biggest I’ve ever seen of my life. We were having a great time. In fact, everyone always had a great time with Curt; he was such a nice guy, a respectable guy. However, this bitch…

    Intro to Criminal Justice - My Cousin Vinny

    This week we were asked to watch a movie called My Cousin Vinny and compare this to the actual Criminal Justice System. I want to start off by saying the portrayal of the Criminal Justice System was much different than what we see it in real life. I really enjoyed the comedy that was displayed around it. The movie was based around two teenagers who were suspected of murdering a gas station attendant. This movie takes place in Alabama.…

    Authority In A Few Good Men

    To what degree should people follow orders of superiors due to their authority? A Few Good Men is a movie where the moral difference between right and wrong is very unclear in the name of following authority. Professors of sociology, Kelman and Hamilton worked together on “The My Lai Massacre: A Military Crime of Obedience” where they tried to apply reason to the soldiers who committed a massacre of unarmed women and children during the Vietnam War. Theodore Dalrymple is a physician who wrote “Just Do What the Pilot Tells You” by analyzing Milgram’s electric shock torture experiment to shine light on when is right to obey to authority, while he emphasizes not to follow authority blindly. These pieces can be used to understand how Marines were able to kill a fellow Marine in Rob Reiner’s A Few Good Men.…

    Race And Policing By Gene Demby

    In my personal opinion most African American people are actually pushing into a life of crime due to their surroundings during their upcoming. Based on the article by “Race and Policing By Gene Demby” discussing the specific communities populated by African American that being targeted by violence and crime. According to the author gun violence is epidemiologist a disease, examining the way it spread. According to the article criminologist say crime tends to fluctuate from year to year. In my opinion, this can be true, but I think that not all African American are criminals, everyone makes their own decision, to become a good person or a bad person.

    Goodfellas Paper

    Martin Scorsese does an exquisite job of making this film real. When Henry is still young, his innocence is displayed so subtly, but with profound clarity. The same can be said for all the scenes in the movie. The characters often seem to live in a different world, with their frequent killings and the absence of emotion that they display. Then all of a sudden, you'll find yourself identifying with the character, and they will seem so classically human. The Gangster, as Robert Warshow puts it, is a “quintessential 'tragic hero', a character whose very nature and deeds ultimately condemn them to a short and fruitless existence, outside of the boundaries of normal society”. The Gangster's place within cinema is an important one, and the genre has now developed to a point of sophistication far beyond the flailing reach of the petty criminals on which it was based.…

    Bryan Stevenson's Arguments Against Police Brutality

    Bryan Stevenson argues that the people of color are in despair and hopelessness. He states that 60% of all young men of color are in jail, prison or on probation or parole. This country has been very different than it was 40 years ago, there are more that 2 million people in jail today. The system is not only distorting around race but poverty. We have a system of justice that treats you better if you're rich and guilty than if you're poor and innocent. Many people are sent on death penalty for crime they have not committed or are innocent. He also points out that men of color are more likely to be trialed as guilty for crimes they have not committed.…
