Assignment 2: Courts, Prosecution, and the Defense Due Week 7 and worth 110 points The courts have one of the most important roles in the criminal justice system. They are responsible for the interpretation and application of law when crimes are committed, They exert some of their greatest influence when it involves due process under the law. The due process model argues that the greatest concern of the justice system should be providing fair and equitable treatment to those accused of crime. This perspective is demonstrated through the courts’ involvement with the police in controlling search and seizure and interrogation, protecting the rights of the accused, in cases like Miranda v. Arizona and Weeks v. United States . Have concerns over due process and protecting the “allegedly” innocent led to the guilty also being spared, as the crime control model would argue? Criminologist Herbert Packer’s assembly line concept finds that although there are many people who commit crime and are arrested and charged, only about 21 adults are incarcerated for every 1000 serious crimes committed. Additionally, 80 percent of all felony cases and over 90 percent of misdemeanors are settled without trial. On the other hand, over time, the Supreme Court has been diminishing the scope of the exclusionary rule. This normally excludes improperly obtained evidence by permitting more exceptions, thus allowing more “improperly obtained evidence” into court. For example, evidence is now admissible in court if the police officers acted in good faith by first obtaining court approval for their search, even if the warrant they received was deficient or faulty. This has come to be known as the good faith exception. Based on your understanding from the readings in chapters 6-8, and keeping in mind the due process and crime control models, write a 2- to 3-page paper in which you discuss: Have criminals been given too many rights by the courts? Should courts be more concerned with the rights of victims or the rights of the offenders? Should illegally seized evidence be excluded from trial, even though it is conclusive proof of a person’s criminal acts? Use your textbook and at least two (2) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: Explain the development of American courts and illustrate the concept of the dual-court system. Distinguish between the various courtroom participants and describe the stages in a criminal .

ATTACHED ARE ARTICLES AND MY ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY TO ASSIST WITH ASSIGNMENT. Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the article Blended Sentencing Laws and the Punitive Turn in Juvenile Justice (Schaefer and Uggen, 2016). In addition, please review resources included in your Week 3 Annotated Bibliography assignment. Finally, examine the Building a More Just Society case scenarios multimedia below. Background You work as a paralegal in a public defender’s office. In an upcoming presentation to a local legislative committee, the public defender plans to address criminal justice issues, constitutional principles, cultural sensitivity, and diversity awareness to promote social justice goals in local communities. You have been asked to assist the public defender in preparing the presentation. To this end, you will explore processes and issues in three criminal cases, applications for criminology, and relevant critical perspectives toward the goal of building a more just society. Your Task The public defender hopes to gain funding to support programs that respond to criminal justice issues and that promote a more just society. Earlier in this course, you had an opportunity to criminology through the works of Messer et al. (2016), Salvatore (2017) and Zoutewelle-Terovan & Skardhamar (2016). These authors consider how criminology may help to explain factors that associate with crime. Recall for example the consideration of life course theory in Messer et al. (2016). To help the public defender with preparation, you have been asked to create a paper between six and eight pages in length. Your description of processes, explanation of issues, and analysis of critical perspectives will provide the foundation for the public defender’s address to the local legislative committee, and thereby promote support for programs and laws that address large societal problems and that promote the social justice principles of equality, solidarity, and human rights to build a more just society. The public defender has come across three distinct cases that highlight the criminal justice issues that the legislature needs to address. Each case is preceded by a video summary that will comprise a portion of the public defender’s presentation to the legislative committee. To provide context for the public defender’s presentation to the legislative committee, the initial part of your paper should explain issues and describe processes about the following case scenarios: Case No. 1: Juvenile Justice and Law Enforcement Case Description (also included in the multimedia content) Through the process of waiver, the defendant was transferred from the juvenile justice system to the criminal justice system on drug related charges. If convicted, the defendant could receive a prison sentence. The defendant resides in an impoverished community. The public defender seeks funding for community treatment centers that respond to drug issues. When in cu ...

Throughout the current period of prison history, known as the period of mass incarceration, the United States has been “the world’s leader in incarceration with 2.2 million people currently in the nation’s prisons and jails – a 500% increase over the last forty years” (Sentencing Project, 2018). This dramatic increase in prison populations over such a short period of time, coupled with the fact that prisons have been brought out from isolation and into the public view, has created an influx of nationally recognized concerns. Review the following short introductions to several of those concerns and select 2 concerns to address in your paper. Adequate Medical Attention: In Estelle V. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97 (1976), the Supreme Court ruled that all incarcerated persons have a right to receive “adequate” medical attention. The failure of the state to provide such attention constitutes a violation of the Eight Amendment; namely, the cruel and unusual punishment clause. In a short article for Health Law Perspectives, Conway (2009), examines the concept of deliberate indifference as related to Estelle. As well, he discusses the conflicts that many people feel when they, as law abiding, tax paying citizens, cannot afford health insurance or to see a medical provider when needed, yet a convicted felon is given free and frequent access to medical services often times without being charged. Administrative Segregation: The United States Supreme Court has not banned the use of Administrative Segregation in American prisons or other places of confinement. Rather, in general, the use of such is still at the discretion of each individual state. Many correctional administrators within those states argue that administrative segregation housing is an absolute necessity. It allows agencies to maintain safe prison systems by removing the most violent or incorrigible offenders from the general population. Thus giving those offenders who wish to take advantage of programmatic and rehabilitative services the opportunity to do so. However, recently Supreme Court Justice Kennedy began to question the constitutionality of solitary confinement and administrative segregation. Furthermore, in light of the psychological and behavioral effects often attributed to long term segregated housing, there is a growing social concern over its use as a permanent management tool. Excessive Force: Correctional officials are often required to use force to prevent serious and imminent harm, as well as to maintain the safety and security of the correctional facility. In Whitley v. Albers, 475 U.S. 312 (1986), the Supreme Court noted that if “force was applied in a good faith effort to maintain or restore discipline,” then it does not constitute an Eight Amendment violation of cruel and unusual punishment. In Hudson v. McMillian, 503 U.S. 1 (1992), however, the Court qualified their response to ensure that the use of excessive force is clearly recognized as unconstitutional. ...

Why Innocent People Plead Guilty Jed S. Rakoff November 20, 2014 Issue Honoré Daumier: A Criminal Case The criminal justice system in the United States today bears little relationship to what the Founding Fathers contemplated, what the movies and television portray, or what the average American believes. To the Founding Fathers, the critical element in the system was the jury trial, which served not only as a truth-seeking mechanism and a means of achieving fairness, but also as a shield against tyranny. As Thomas Jefferson famously said, “I consider [trial by jury] as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.” The Sixth Amendment guarantees that “in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” The Constitution further guarantees that at the trial, the accused will have the assistance of counsel, who can confront and cross-examine his accusers and present evidence on the accused’s behalf. He may be convicted only if an impartial jury of his peers is unanimously of the view that he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and so states, publicly, in its verdict. The drama inherent in these guarantees is regularly portrayed in movies and television programs as an open battle played out in public before a judge and jury. But this is all a mirage. In actuality, our criminal justice system is almost exclusively a system of plea bargaining, negotiated behind closed doors and with no judicial oversight. The outcome is very largely determined by the prosecutor alone. In 2013, while 8 percent of all federal criminal charges were dismissed (either because of a mistake in fact or law or because the defendant had decided to cooperate), more than 97 percent of the remainder were resolved through plea bargains, and fewer than 3 percent went to trial. The plea bargains largely determined the sentences imposed. While corresponding statistics for the fifty states combined are not available, it is a rare state where plea bargains do not similarly account for the resolution of at least 95 percent of the felony cases that are not dismissed; and again, the plea bargains usually determine the sentences, sometimes as a matter of law and otherwise as a matter of practice. Furthermore, in both the state and federal systems, the power to determine the terms of the plea bargain is, as a practical matter, lodged largely in the prosecutor, with the defense counsel having little say and the judge even less. It was not always so. Until roughly the end of the Civil War, plea bargains were exceedingly rare. A criminal defendant would either go to trial or confess and plead guilty. If the defendant was convicted, the judge would have wide discretion to impose sentence; and that decision, made with little input from the parties, was subject only to the most modest appellate review. After the Civil War, this began to change, chiefly b.

The system is where the courts will determine whether or not anything happened, and, if so, what should be done about it in the future. The roles are in place to determine whether or not a person has committed a crime and, if so, what kind of punishment should be administered. When parties are unable to reach a peaceful agreement, the legal system may assist them in finding a peaceful solution to their dispute. What is the judge’s power, and how is it used? A judge has a great deal of authority in the legal system. An application for a search and seizure warrant may be granted by the court after it has been evaluated to see whether there are reasonable grounds to assume that the applicant has committed a crime. The defendant will be informed by the court upon the arrest of a suspect, and the judge has the authority to impose penalties on a suspect who is freed. The one job of the judge that is considered to be the most apparent is when the judge rule over a trial by jury, according to many people. The judge guarantees that the prosecution and defense attorneys follow the law while presenting their claims. It is also the judge's job to protect the rights of those who have been charged. When it comes to ensuring that the defendant is handled properly, the judge has a responsibility.

F O S T E R , C E D R I C 1 6 9 2 T S THE ADULT CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM VERSUS THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM This chapter examines what might happen in cases that the police have solved by arresting an adult. As the fate of the accused person is determined by the criminal justice system, victims will interact with prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, juries, and—if the defendant is convicted—corrections officials. Cooperation is the desired outcome, but conflict might erupt over certain divisive issues with these criminal justice professionals and the agencies that employ them. Note that this chapter focuses on how cases are processed by the legal system when adults are arrested by the police. Each state has the authority under the constitution to determine at what age adulthood begins and for which crimes this distinc- tion applies. For example, in New York, state legis- lators decided that persons as young as 16 might be considered as adults, and their cases could be processed in the adult system. When the police arrest a suspect as young as 13 for murder, he could be considered as sufficiently mature to face adult penalties, such as a life sentence, if the prosecutor chooses to pursue this get-tough option. In nearly all the other states, the age when individuals can be held fully responsible for their criminal behavior is 18. In ...

Assignment 2: Federalism The system of federalism was instituted with the writing and authorization of the Constitution in 1787. In dividing power between states and the national government, federalism has undergone challenges to the placement of power. Should power reside primarily in national or in state government? The Civil War was the most dramatic challenge to the placement of power. Southern states argued, under the leadership of John C. Calhoun, that states’ power superseded national power, while northern states, under the leadership of President Abraham Lincoln, stressed the need for union under the leadership and direction of the national government. In the more than two hundred years since the Constitution’s adoption, there have been many changes to the meaning of federalism, with power shifting between state and national governments. In the twentieth century, the shifts of power became largely associated with the national government’s ability to provide increased funding sources. With more funding available, the national government has expanded its impact on all areas of state governments. This increased power has had many advocates and many detractors, each with strong justifications. Research federalism using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Write a paper on federalism. Structure your paper as follows: Define federalism. Explain three advantages of federalism. Explain three disadvantages of federalism. Identify and describe at least two ways in which American federalism has changed since the ratification of the Constitution. Discuss one advantage or disadvantage of federalism most relevant to you. Describe the relationship between contemporary politics and trends in the size and power of the federal government. Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format.

Assignment 2: Ethical Issues and Foreign Investments By Friday, April 18, 2014 , analyze the following scenario: There are multifaceted ethical issues relating to international investments. One aspect relates to human rights. Most Latin American governments have constitutions that mandate health care as a human right, yet some of these countries provide poor health care for the majority of their population. During the 1980s, the general populace of these countries deteriorated, even though several Latin American countries developed strategies to reposition medical personnel and services to rural areas. Throughout this time, many international donors provided assistance; however they did so with imposed conditions. An example of this constrained assistance was the World Bank, which imposed restrictions that included privatization of health care, as well as required limitations on universal access. Did the World Bank and other international donors act responsibly and ethically in constraining their humanitarian assistance? Who has the responsibility for the health care of the Latin American people? Is it a reasonable and socially responsible practice to offer international assistance in exchange for an opportunity to shape a country's political and/or social system? Why or why not? By Saturday, April 19, 2014 respond to the discussion question assigned by the faculty. Submit your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Use the same Discussion Area to comment on your classmates' submissions and continue the discussion until Wednesday, April 23, 2014. Comment on how your classmates would address differing views. .

Assignment 2: Ethical (Moral) Relativism In America, many are comfortable describing ethics as follows: “Well, what’s right for me is right for me and what’s right for you is right for you. Let’s just agree to disagree.” This is an affirmation of what philosophers call individual or subjective moral relativism . In this understanding of relativism, morality is a matter of individual feelings and personal preference. In individual moral relativism, the determination of what is right and wrong in a situation varies according to the individual. Moral relativists do not believe in natural law or universal truths. Cultural moral relativism puts culture at the forefront of relative ethical decision-making. It says the individual must include the precepts of his or her culture as a prominent part of the relativistic moral action. Lawrence Kohlberg, a prominent psychologist known for recognizing moral stages of development, takes it a step farther saying cultural relativists are persons stuck in the “ Conventional Stage” of ethical development . In your paper, please define individual moral relativism and cultural moral relativism in detail, noting how they differ from each other, their strengths and weaknesses, and give your position on Kohlberg’s stance on ethical relativism. What aspects of ethical relativism do you identify and agree with? What aspects do you disagree with? Give a personal example that illustrates your stance on ethical relativism, describing how you made a moral decision in an ethical dilemma. Include at least two references to support your thoughts. Post a 500-word paper to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox by due Wednesday, July 9, 2014 . All written assignments and responses should follow proper citation rules for attributing sources. Please use Microsoft Word spelling/grammar checker. Be mindful of plagiarism policies.
