Compelling Examples of Essay About Justice

Post No. 1

There are some points in this post that I cannot agree with. First, I agree that at present the US operates more under a crime control model of the criminal justice system. This observation can be justified by statistics showing plea bargained convictions constituting more than 90% of total convictions on both the state and federal levels (Durose and Langan 2007; (DOJ 2014). Even Haley and Bohm (2014) pointed out the fluctuation in models that change with changes in political regimes. I do not agree, however, that the crime control model is the better option. Swiftness is ideal, but Continue reading...

model? Or both? Justify your answer. Which model should we be under? Justify
I think that the country’s present criminal justice system can be characterized as one overlapping the crime control model and due process model with a tendency to lean towards the former. According to the BJS, 95% of felony convictions in state courts in 2004 resulted from guilty pleas (Durose and Langan 2007). On the other hand, federal data showed that 97% of convictions in federal courts resulted from guilty pleas (DOJ 2014). Haley and Bohm (2014) suggested that plea bargaining is one of the hallmarks Continue reading...

And the International Court of Justice

Introduction
After the Second World War, the United States and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has maintained an awkward relationship with each other. The United States, for its part, adopts the primacy of the law in its own country, and to a certain extent, in the confines of the global community. In addition, the United States is one and continues to be one of the most active parties in various cases that have been bought before the Court (Murphy, 2008, p. 1).
The United States has made numerous appearances, more than any other nation. Nevertheless, it must be Continue reading...

Discuss why is it important for agency managers to be concerned about

The process of program evaluation is an important undertaking of managers in an organization as a means of determining agency improvement. In the criminal justice in particular, agency managers have the responsibility of evaluating whether a certain program of the agency is effective or not and why. Program evaluation has become a part of criminal justice research that aims to define a better approach in improving the agency program that is responsive in eradicating crimes and to eliminate those that do not yield positive outcomes.
The enforcement of criminal justice programs entails expenditures and it is in the best Continue reading...

In July 2014, Eric Garner had a confrontation with the police enforcers, suspected him of selling loose and illegal cigarettes. Garner was forcefully arrested, and during the arrest, for eleven times, Garner said, “I cannot breathe” . Apparently, Garner had a total loss of the air supply and blood circulation and died due to chokehold made by the police officer. In the Justice department, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has expanded the rules of racial profiling.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free; one hundred years Continue reading...

Introduction

The social norms and ways have the tendency to receive great levels of influence from the channels of religion, culture, and collective worldviews of the societies that exist on the face of this Earth. However, the Whites have the psychological illusion of supremacy in this regard, and therefore, one can see that the social system of the country is disintegrating with the passage of time. The governmental role needs to be enhanced so that the legal system can view every social member as an equal to others regardless of his or her ethnic background. The legal system has the Continue reading...

Ethnicity and Jury Nullification

The mechanism of the trial jury was established by the Framers as a primary, basic safeguard against the government and possible abuse of the same. The jury has the implied power to absolve the defendants in a case, even though testimony and evidence would point otherwise. This power of abrogation, enshrined in the right of the jury to render a decision solely by its own “moral lights,” has led to responsive juries to absolve defendants who the jury members believe as “guilty under the law, but upright in the eyes of society.” Nevertheless, this power of abrogation has not Continue reading...

The right to silence, also known as the privilege against self-incrimination refers to two distinct but deeply related liberties. The privilege against self-incrimination concerns the general principle of English law that a person is innocent until proven guilty and that it is the duty of the prosecution to prove their case against any person they suspect of committing a crime. Accordingly, the suspect has no obligation to voluntarily provide the prosecution with evidence that will or might be self-incriminating or assist in their prosecution. The right to silence, on the other hand, not only allows a person to refuse Continue reading...
