Based on the article ‘After Gang Rape of Girl, 16, First a Fine, and Then a Murder’ written by Kai Schultz. Throughout my entire reading of the essay, it is crystal clear that the article focuses on the criminal cases that happen in the country.

In his work he says that officers operate in an environment that on a frequent basis where officers are alone in a community where there are citizens their presence is needed, Research in communities show that officers must make quick decisions and usually without input from other sources. Although there is a chain of command these acts of discretion must be done without going up the chain of command. Goldstein (1977) and Walker and Katz (2002) also point out that the very nature of “the law” is such that, in many cases, officers discretion extends to interpreting the meaning of the statutory text. It becomes, therefore, impossible to enforce the law equally due to the wide interpretation that can be a particular law”.…

When a person is interrogated it means they are taken into custody and await trial, arraignment, and facing a judge to determine their punishment and enter their plea. In the future of most criminals they are looking at a sentence to serve for the punishment of the law they broke, or crime they committed. These sentences have specific and general deterrence as well as guidelines that the constitution says we must follow.

What do you think is the most important goal of the criminal justice system? Why?…
Murders, drug dealing, and robberies are some of the most recognized crimes that are taken seriously by both the public and the courts equally. However, there are some crimes where this is not the case. Sexual assault, more specifically rape, is one of these acts in which the courts do not always deal out the necessary justice. Rape is a horrible crime that promotes self-esteem issues, trauma, and even suicide for the victim. Why should the perpetrator get away with a slap on the wrist? Two main causes lead the judicial system to be inadequate in rape cases; these factors are victim blaming and lack of punishment. Due to these reasons, I believe that the judicial systems needs a reformation in order to help rape victims and to better prosecute…

If observed carefully, there aren’t many legislative laws that are geared towards protecting women and the few that are provided inadequately serves to really and truly protect a woman, another issue is that victims are often threatened not to talk to anyone or at times hide because they tend to be ashamed, the economic gains that some of these victims stand to gain at times are one of the many contributing factors which makes them stay in such situations they face, the lack of opportunities provided for these women forcing them at times to do menial or demeaning jobs. In order to rectify the situation at hand these are just some of the issues to be fixed. More stringent laws geared to towards the protection of females which are actually tailored to suit their needs are required. Also there need to be new rules, policies and laws set in place that will actually be able to help women; aiding them is able to have faith in the authorities or the state if problems with abuse arise again. The issue of accountability is a major factor to be dealt with. Individuals who are responsible for committing heinous acts against women and also those who condoned or upheld such practices should be reprimanded and punished also, having special laws and policies in place to be able to penalize the culprits.…

The paramount purpose of criminal justice is the protection of the innocent and punishment of the offenders. A victim for securing this end has come to the Criminal Court for punishing the offenders.
