The courts recognized that there were "many wayward, incorrigible, and neglected children" who needed to be "humanely cared for, guided into paths of rectitude and right living, and protected from…

The arrest usually takes place when the officer arrest the suspect, but in some cases the suspect can be under arrest without physically being handcuffed or without being told that he/ or she is under arrest also without being placed in a law enforcement vehicle. Typically officers are known to read the suspect their Miranda rights upon arrest, but that is not necessary either upon the arrest. However, police officers are ask to read these rights for safety purposes to make sure that the prosecutor at hand has a smooth case.…

    After reading chapter 6, I realized that leaders in a community they need to be sensitive that the wants and needs of the community. I feel like a lot of times leaders in criminal justice are buried in policies and regulations and fail to realize the humanity side to the story. I believe that criminal justice leaders need to look within their communities to realize ethical and moral issues before they can address a problem. Overall the criminal justice system is great at reacting to stuff like crimes and violations and act only on instinct by arresting and convicting people which doesn’t solve the roots problems. What they need to do is step back and look at the bigger picture to try to find the root causes of crime and dealing with them accordingly.…
