Gagnon I Hearing Analysis
In just a year period, the United States Supreme Court issued rulings in Morrissey v. Brewer and Gagnon v. Scarpelli (O’Leary & Hanrahan, 1978). These cases set a precedence on how the process for depriving liberty for those on probation or parole (O’Leary & Hanrahan, 1978). It ultimately created the two-part hearing process, which is know as Gagnon I and Gagnon II hearings (O’Leary & Hanrahan, 1978).

The Gagnon I hearing is what is commonly known as the preliminary hearing (O’Leary & Hanrahan, 1978). A Gagnon I hearing should occur in the jurisdiction where the offense happened and should be conducted without little delay (O’Leary & Hanrahan, 1978). The main purpose of the Gagnon I hearing is to establish if there was probable cause

    No Matter How Loud I Shout Summary

    Instead Humes proves that the ineptitude of the court system can only be fixed once everyone in the system has the same goal and is willing to put aside all outside factors such as race or relation in order to fulfill the courts original wish, to rehabilitate and heal. I thought that the book No Matter How Loud I Shout was enjoyable to read as I hope to have a job in the juvenile judicial system as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children. However, for a reader with no prior knowledge about the juvenile court system, can be widely confusing due to the use of judicial jargon and little background information. For a reader with enough judicial knowledge the book provides an aggravating look into the flaws of the court system and how it affects today’s…

    The Gacaca Judicial Process

    “The gacaca judicial process is significantly different from conventional trials. To begin with the formal criminal justice procedures and gacaca courts have different goals. First, wliereas trials pursue tmth through adversarial disclosures before an impartial judge, the gacaca process encourages voluntary confession through forgiveness. Such forgiveness is granted by individuals who voluntarily give up hatred and resentment towards offenders and by the state through reduced punishment. Second, trials and gacaca have different goals. Whereas trials seek to identify offenders and to prosecute them for their illegal behavior, gacaca is chiefly concerned with overcoming animosity and distmst and restoring relationships. To help restore offenders,…

    Court History and Purpose

    The court plays a very critical role in American Criminal Justice. Without the development of courts, those who violate the law would face no penalty and would commit crimes and walk free. In this paper I will evaluate and examine the American Criminal court system. I will describe the court and the purpose that it serves as so I will also define the dual court system. I will also describe the role that early legal codes, the common law and the precedent played in the development of courts.…

    Minors Rights: Supreme Court

    In Re Gault was the Supreme Court’s “first foray” (Dorsen) into the rights of minors as decided by the Constitution. Fifteen year old Gerald Gault was taken into custody for making lewd comments to a neighbor, over the phone. His parents were not notified and he was not given access to an attorney. He was not notified of his right not to self-incriminate and was eventually convicted as an adult and sentenced to jail until age 21. If he had been tried as an adult, it would have been a misdemeanor. Before this case it was considered that minors had no rights until they turned 18 and were legally considered an Adult. "Under our Constitution the condition of being a boy does not justify a kangaroo court. …Due process is the primary and indispensable foundation of individual freedom. It is the basic and essential term in the social compact which defines the rights of the individual and delimits the powers which the state may exercise…." (Fortas). The supreme court definitely interpreted the constitution correctly because the constitution states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." This is saying that juveniles accused of a crime must have the same…

    Sentencing Proposal

    The last stage of a criminal trial is known as sentencing. During sentencing the convening authority over the criminal court proceedings makes a determination of how the guilty party should be punished. Prior to that determination being made both the defense attorneys and prosecutors may make their arguments as to why or why not the defendant should be punished to the fullest of the law. The judge taking these arguments into consideration makes his or her decision on what type sentence to hand down. While the main goal is to punish those that are found guilty there are five sentencing rationales in use in the American criminal justice system. These rationales are retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, restoration, and incapacitation. In the case of State v. Stu Dents, the judge will use the rationales of rehabilitation and incapacitation. The defense and prosecutors will make their arguments and propose the type of sentence Mr. Dents should receive which in turn will protect him and society.…

    Court History and Purpose

    People in the United States attend court every day for different many reasons. Those reasons could be for traffic violations, civil law suits, or for unlawful criminal acts. No matter what they are all handled and disputed in a court of law. Courts are empowered to make fair and binding decisions upon the facts that are received. There are two types of courts; civil court and criminal court. It is very important that people understand and know the differences between civil and criminal courts. Civil courts handle resolutions between private parties and usually consist of one party suing the other for some type of monetary damages. Criminal courts on the other hand, try alleged offenders for suspected crimes committed, whereas the end result is either freedom for the offender or a prison cell.…

    Criminal Procedure Policy Paper

    “Criminal procedure is the branch of American constitutional law concerned with the state’s power to maintain an orderly society and the rights of citizens and residents to live in freedom from undue government interference with their liberty” (Zalman, 2008, p. 4). The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth amendments are significant in studying criminal procedure. In criminal justice, the criminal procedure is important because it deals with the conflict between order and liberty directly. To understand the friction between order and liberty, Herbert Packer studied the competing values that underlie the constitutional order through the Due Process Model and Crime Control model. Both of these models have similarities as well as differences on shaping criminal procedure policy. Herbert Packer states, “One is not “good” and the other “bad”; both models embrace constitutional values that are necessary to the kind of society in which we wish to live” (Zalman, 2008, p. 5).…
