In 1994, California enacted its “Three Strikes” law. This law significantly changed the sentencing structure in convictions for defendants who had previously been convicted of certain felonies.
The document discusses the concept of double jeopardy under Philippine law. It lists the requisites for double jeopardy to apply, including that the accused was previously brought to trial in a court of competent jurisdiction under a valid complaint, was arraigned and pleaded to the charge, and the case was terminated without their express consent. It also notes that double jeopardy does not apply if a mistrial was granted due to lack of due process, and that an accused can appeal a conviction without it constituting double jeopardy.
The document discusses key aspects of constitutional reforms related to security and justice in Mexico. The three main topics of reform are: 1) Changing the criminal justice system from mixed to accusatory. 2) Reforming the penitentiary system to focus on reinsertion rather than social readaptation. 3) Promoting a new concept of public security with greater coordination between police structures. Some of the main institutions and issues addressed include the criminal process, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, victims' rights, and certification of public security personnel.
The document discusses the range and effectiveness of custodial sentences for adult offenders in England and Wales. It outlines the types of custodial sentences available, including mandatory life sentences, discretionary life sentences, custody plus sentences, fixed term sentences, suspended sentences, and home detention curfew. It then evaluates the effectiveness of custodial sentences in protecting the public, rehabilitating offenders, and deterring crime. While prisons can protect the public from dangerous criminals, reoffending rates are high due to overcrowding issues. Prisons are also very expensive and can negatively impact prisoners' families. Overall, the document questions how well the criminal justice system meets the various aims of sentencing through the available range of custodial and community sentences.
The chapter discusses the U.S. court system, which consists of both federal and state courts. At the top is the U.S. Supreme Court, which has the power to review all other courts. Below are the federal courts, organized into four tiers - magistrate courts, district courts, courts of appeals, and the Supreme Court. States each have their own court systems that generally mirror the federal structure. Courts hear both criminal cases involving the government and civil cases between private parties.
This document discusses various ways in which criminal liability can be extinguished under Philippine law, including:
1. By the death of the convict before final judgment for personal and pecuniary penalties. Criminal liability is also extinguished by service of the sentence, amnesty, and absolute pardon.
2. Prescription, or the loss of the right to prosecute, also extinguishes criminal liability after a certain time period ranging from 1-20 years depending on the crime. Prescription of penalties is also discussed.
3. Civil liability survives criminal proceedings and various forms of extinguishing criminal liability, such as the death of the offender or offended party. The document provides details on the effects of different forms of ext
This chapter discusses criminal sentencing, including the philosophies that justify sanctions like deterrence, incapacitation, retribution, rehabilitation, and restorative justice. It also addresses mentally ill offenders and the insanity defense. There are two major sentencing models: indeterminate sentencing based on parole and structured sentencing using guidelines, determinate sentences, and presumptive sentencing. Mandatory sentencing and three-strikes laws are examples of structured sentencing. While the death penalty remains controversial, many states are reexamining it due to documented wrongful convictions.
Criminal procedure outlines the steps for apprehending, prosecuting, and punishing those accused of criminal offenses. It begins with the initial investigation of a crime and concludes with the release of the offender. Criminal procedure in the Philippines originated from Spanish law and was later influenced by American law and various acts passed by the Philippine Commission and Congress. The court system has both inquisitorial and accusatorial elements, with the judicial set-up being primarily accusatorial. Courts have jurisdiction as conferred by law over certain types of criminal cases and civil matters. Regional trial courts have broad original jurisdiction while the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court have appellate jurisdiction to review cases.
This document provides an overview of the key participants and processes involved in a criminal trial. It discusses the roles of police, prosecutors, judges, jurors and defendants. It also outlines several important pre-trial decisions and proceedings, such as determining bail, competency to stand trial, and plea bargaining. Finally, it describes the typical structure and sequence of a criminal trial, from jury selection to closing arguments and deliberation.

This document classifies offences under the Criminal Procedure Code for procedural purposes. There are four main classifications: 1) Cognizable/non-cognizable - determines whether police can make an arrest without a warrant. 2) Bailable/non-bailable - determines whether a person can be released on bail as a matter of right. 3) Summons case/warrant case - determines the process to compel appearance based on punishment. 4) Compoundable/non-compoundable - determines whether a criminal proceeding can end through compromise outside of court. Each classification serves a different objective in the legal process such as investigation, release on bail, trial procedures, and resolution.
1. Penalties are punishments imposed by lawful authority on those who commit deliberate or negligent acts. Judges can only interpret and apply laws and have no power to modify penalties determined by the legislature.
2. The nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege principle states that no crime can be punished unless the penalty was prescribed by law before the act was committed. Prospectivity rules mandate that penal laws only apply prospectively, except in certain cases.
3. Conditional pardons, probation, and the intermediate sentence law can partially extinguish criminal liability by releasing the convict subject to certain terms and allowing recommitment if terms are violated. Total extinction occurs through death, service of sentence, or other legal means.
The document discusses bail provisions under criminal procedure law. It begins by defining bail and its purpose of securing an accused's appearance in court. Offences are classified as bailable, non-bailable, or unbailable. For non-bailable offences punishable by death or life imprisonment, bail is usually not granted if there are reasonable grounds to believe the accused committed the offence. However, the court may grant bail in exceptional circumstances if the accused is a minor, woman, or sick/infirm person. Case law examples provide guidance on factors considered for granting bail in non-bailable cases, such as medical conditions, age, or ensuring no interference with the case. Conditions like surrendering travel documents or regular police
The petitioners, a married couple, filed a writ petition seeking protection from interference in their marriage and threats to their life from petitioner no. 4's family. The court documents show the petitioners are both adults who married of their own free will. The court ordered the local police to provide protection to the petitioners if necessary. The court also directed petitioner no. 2 to present a fixed deposit receipt of Rs. 300,000 in favor of petitioner no. 1 by the next hearing date, citing previous cases where the Supreme Court ruled that adults have the freedom to choose their own marriage partners without interference from family.
The document defines and classifies criminal offences and criminal cases in the Malaysian legal system. It distinguishes between seizable and non-seizable offences, summon cases and warrant cases, bailable and non-bailable offences. It also distinguishes the stages of criminal litigation procedure - investigation conducted by police, inquiry conducted by magistrates, and trial conducted by courts. The criminal litigation process involves pre-trial procedures, jurisdiction of courts and police, bail applications, judgments, sentencing, and appeal procedures.
Plea bargaining was introduced in India in 2005 to reduce delays in the criminal justice system. It allows the accused to plead guilty in exchange for concessions from the prosecutor, such as dropping or reducing charges. It aims to expedite case disposal and reduce court burdens. However, there are concerns it could encourage corruption, undermine the requirement of proof beyond reasonable doubt, and show undue leniency towards offenders. Overall, plea bargaining is still a new concept in India and its effectiveness in reducing backlogs and potential issues still need to be fully evaluated.
Act no.-3815-revised-penal-code-of-the-phils.-crimes-committed-by-public-offi...cherry Marie Facun
This document summarizes provisions from the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines relating to crimes committed by public officers. It outlines penalties for judges who render unjust judgments, public officers who are negligent in prosecuting offenses or reveal client secrets, and public officers engaged in bribery, fraud, or misappropriation of public funds. Penalties range from fines to imprisonment and can include perpetual disqualification from public office depending on the nature and severity of the crime. The provisions aim to uphold integrity and prevent abuse of power among those entrusted with public duties and responsibilities.
This document discusses plea bargaining in the criminal justice system. It notes that over 95% of criminal cases in the US are resolved through plea bargains rather than trials. Plea bargaining can be understood through economic models of decision-making and resource allocation. While some argue plea bargains penalize the right to a fair trial, others defend the practice as an efficient way to reduce costs and allow prosecutors to allocate limited resources effectively.
This document defines and classifies offences under Indian law. It defines an offence as any act punishable under the Penal Code or by any other law. Offences are classified as either seizable or non-seizable. Seizable offences allow police to make arrests without a warrant and are more serious, while non-seizable offences do not permit arrest without a warrant and are less serious. The procedures for investigating seizable and non-seizable offences differ, with seizable offences allowing police broader powers to investigate without a judicial order.
The document outlines the key requirements for drafting a valid charge under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) in India. It discusses that a charge must state the offense, law and section violated, particulars of time, place and manner of offense, and be read and explained to the accused. It also covers rules for altering a charge, trying multiple offenses together, and addressing prejudice to the accused from errors in the charge. The document provides examples to illustrate proper charge drafting and ensures the accused receives proper notice of the specific matters they are accused of.
Framing of charge means drawing up in writing by the Judge or Magistrate in separate prescribed form of charge sheet regarding specific accusation , appeared prima facie , in the materials collected during investigation , against the accused , mentioning therein the detail information of the crime for which he is charged .
It is fundamental principle of law that the accused should know the exact nature of allegation brought against him . It is, therefore, imperative that before a person is convicted of any offence he should be formally charged, i.e., informed with committed by him, and be given an opportunity to defend himself against such charge.
In other words, a charge is a written document containing the description of the offence which the court, in inquiry or trial, finds Prima facie proved by evidence before it to have been committed by the accused and requires him to defend it.
He is entitled to be informed with the greatest precision what acts he is said to have committed, and under what sections of the penal law these acts fall.
Sections 211 to 214 give clear and explicit directions as to how a charge should be drawn up to tell an accused person as precisely and concisely as possible of the matter with which he is charged.
The document discusses the principles of framing charges in criminal cases under the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure. It defines what a charge is and explains that the purpose of framing a charge is to give the accused clear notice of the accusations against them. A valid charge must state the offense, law, time/place of offense, previous convictions if applicable, and contain sufficient particulars for the accused to understand the case they must defend. The court must apply its mind to ensure there is a prima facie case before framing charges. Alterations are allowed but must not prejudice the accused.
The Court of Appeal of Sri Lanka revised the order of the High Court of Colombo denying bail to a suspect who had been on remand for over a year for an alleged offense under Section 45(c) of the Immigration and Emigration Act. The Court of Appeal granted the suspect cash bail of Rs. 10,000 and surety bail of Rs. 1,000,000 with six approved family member sureties, noting that the suspect had already been in incarceration for over the minimum one year custodial sentence for the offense. The suspect was directed to report to the Magistrate's Court of Negombo on a weekly/monthly basis until further notice.
This document discusses different types of criminal offenses in the UK legal system related to assault and battery, from least serious to most serious. It explains that non-fatal offenses like assault and battery are considered least serious and are handled in Magistrates Court. Assaults causing actual bodily harm (ABH) and grievous bodily harm (GBH) are middle-range offenses that can be heard in either Magistrates Court or Crown Court. The most serious offenses like GBH with intent are indictable offenses that can only be heard in Crown Court, although they first appear in Magistrates Court. The document provides details on the legal definitions and standards for different assault and battery offenses.

3) Cold temperate grasslands in continental interiors with warm summers and very cold winters such as the prairies of North America that are important agricultural regions.
This document discusses standards and technical measures under the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement) from India's perspective. It outlines the objectives of the WTO to ensure free, transparent, and predictable international trade. The TBT Agreement aims to harmonize standards and regulations to avoid unnecessary obstacles to trade while allowing countries to implement measures for legitimate public policy objectives. As a WTO member, India must notify other countries of any proposed technical regulations or conformity assessment procedures and consider comments from trading partners. The Bureau of Indian Standards represents India in international standard-setting and serves as the TBT enquiry point.
A stock exchange establishes a marketplace for trading securities and provides infrastructure to facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers. It establishes rules for fair trading, regulates members, and ensures transparency through disclosure requirements for listed companies. A stock exchange provides liquidity and price discovery as the constant buying and selling of shares determines their price through the forces of supply and demand. It benefits both investors and companies through increased market access, confidence, and profitability.
The document discusses various technical analysis concepts including definitions, assumptions, differences between technical and fundamental analysis, and Dow theory. Some key points:
- Technical analysis uses price, volume, and open interest to forecast market trends by analyzing charts and indicators. It assumes current prices reflect all known information and that trends persist.
- Compared to fundamental analysis, technical analysis is quicker, studies market effects rather than underlying causes, and analyzes charts rather than economic factors.
- Dow theory states that market indices discount everything and that individual securities follow the overall market trend, which has primary, secondary, and minor trends of varying time periods. Volume should confirm price trends.
- Support and resistance levels, trend lines, gaps
Embedded librarians in a law firm - A reflectiontamberlain
The law firm K&L Gates embedded librarians into practice groups to improve client services and access to legal research support. Three librarians were initially embedded on three floors, with each responsible for supporting a specific practice group. This new embedded model faced some initial criticism from those who preferred the traditional central library. However, efforts to market the librarians' services through email lists, newsletters and training sessions helped gain acceptance. While virtual support and maintaining enthusiasm over time remain challenges, usage of research services increased under the new embedded librarian model.

POLICY ISSUE Mandatory minimum sentencing is a judicial po.docxstilliegeorgiana
POLICY ISSUE
Mandatory minimum sentencing is a judicial policy in the United States that requires
judges to punish certain crimes with an absolute minimum period of time in prison, regardless of
circumstance (USSC, 1991). The 1980s and 1990s have been classified as the ‘tough on crime’
era in regards to US criminal justice legislation and then-criminal justice reform. Anti-drug
sentiment was pervasive throughout the country, with highly visible and expensive advertising
campaigns directed for anti-drug causes. The campaigns were one aspect of a multi-faceted
blitzkrieg on the increasing incidence of drug trafficking throughout the United States,
particularly crack cocaine. In addition, mandatory minimum sentencing was instated during the
Reagan administration, primarily to address the perceived crack and greater drug epidemic,
expanding throughout the next decade. It was a popular issue that crossed party lines, being
embraced by the Republican Reagan and Bush administrations, and continuing with the
Democratic Clinton administration in the 1990s; by 1994 mandatory minimums were enforced in
31 states and Washington, DC (Baker, 2018).
PUBLIC POLICY
Mandatory minimum sentencing is covered under the Regulatory public policy as this
type of policy limits the actions of people in order to protect the general public. In order to
protect the general public - the people of the United States, mandatory minimums were
introduced as a means to control or stymie ‘dangerous criminals’.
POLICY MODIFICATION
One revision to this policy I would introduce would be the elimination of mandatory
minimum sentencing for non-violent drug offenses. I believe this would positively impact this
policy because currently the state and federal prisons are overcrowded, partly due to those
incarcerated for lengthy prison sentences for drug charges. Individuals sentenced to prison time
for drug offenses should have their cases re-evaluated and determined on a case-by-case basis
versus on a standard nationwide scale. When the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 was initiated, the
new polices were not said to be retroactive and only applied to new cases. Many of those who
are currently incarcerated would not receive the same sentences if their cases were tried in court
today. I do not believe a one size fits all policy is conducive to fixing the overall drug problems
in the U.S.
A second modification to this policy I would introduce would be the re-instatement of
judicial power and discretion. Mandatory minimum sentencing essentially removes the
discretion of judges from the equation when it comes to sentencing. Judges should have the
power to veto certain sentencing standards, but with mandatory minimums their hands are tied.
Again, each case should be judged and evaluated individually and not on a national standardized
scale.

This document provides an overview of the criminal justice system in the United States. It discusses that criminal law is divided into substantive and procedural law. Substantive law defines crimes and penalties while procedural law regulates enforcement. It also outlines key concepts like federalism, separation of powers, criminal intent, and the differences between civil and criminal law.
Understanding the Federal Sentencing GuidelinesKevin Mahoney
In the United States an individual can be charged with a state crime, a federal crime, or both. The federal criminal justice system operates in much the same way as the individual state criminal justice systems; however, there are some noticeable differences. If you have been charged with a federal criminal offense, become familiar with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

Part IV of the Constitution contains provisions on fundamental liberties. Article 11(1) prohibits retrospective criminal laws and greater punishment than what was prescribed when the offense was committed. Article 11(2) prohibits double jeopardy. These protections encapsulate common law principles of no punishment without law and non-bis-in-idem. Article 12 guarantees equal protection before the law for all persons and prohibits discrimination against citizens on grounds of religion, race, descent or place of birth.

A criminal is defined as a person convicted of a crime by final judgment. During different stages of the criminal justice process, an individual may be referred to as a suspect, respondent, accused, person deprived of liberty, or ex-convict. Crime is classified according to the law punishing it, presence or absence of intent, gravity, impact on society, and presence or absence of an attempted or frustrated stage. The criminal justice system aims to prevent and control crime through its five pillars: law enforcement, prosecution, courts, corrections, and the community. Law enforcement activities include preventing crime, suppressing crime, apprehending criminals, conducting searches and seizures, investigating crimes, and protecting lives and property.
This document discusses criminal law and punishment in the Philippines. It covers several key points:
1) Criminal law defines crimes and provides for their punishment. Punishment comes from the state's police power and seeks to redress harm to the public, not just individuals.
2) Punishment has both absolute and relative theories - the absolute is retributive justice while the relative aims to prevent further crimes and reform the offender.
3) Only Congress can enact penal laws, which must be generally applicable and not ex post facto or bills of attainder. Penal laws apply to all crimes within Philippine territory.
4) A repeal of a penal law can be absolute if the crime is decriminalized

Q 1.
Sentencing of convicted criminals has been the point of discussion on many fronts and even most recently the presidential debate. These discussions will ultimately fuel further reform in the future. In the past sentencing reform has been to correct mistakes made in the sentencing processes of the convicted. I am going to not so much focus on the disparity between racial and socioeconomic factors that impact sentencing and focus on the side effects of three strike laws that were unintentional from their purpose. Laws that are similar to the Three Strikes Laws have an impact the participation of criminal behavior. Iyengar writes criminal activity reduced by 20 percent for second-strike offenders and 28 percent for third-strike eligible offenders (Iyengar, 2010). There is much to be said about these types of laws and the impact that it has on corrections and the types of impact it as on the populations within a jail or prison in the states these laws are in effect. The purpose of these types of laws is to reduce the reoccurrence of crime by offenders and to put repeat offenders in jail for longer periods of crimes. An example of the three strikes law can be found in Datta’s review of the three strikes law he notes that a first time offender would receive a sentence length double the amount of time for the first conviction and the sentence length for the third strike is a dramatic increase in sentence time (Datta, 2017).
With these types of laws that are in place it has a dramatic effect on the corrections facility because the time spent for placement for crimes increases the burden on the facility. We previously discussed this in other weeks about the challenges that corrections facilities have during their normal day to day operations. This growth in population size and length of time served puts an unnecessary strain on the systems that are in place across the state of California. “The high cost of incarceration combined with the high cost of violent crime relative to non-violent crime implies that Three Strikes may not be a cost-effective means of reducing crime” (Iyengar, 2010). This is a concern for all types of facilities and sentencing has no regard to the capabilities of the criminal justice system, specifically the corrections systems which face the burden of holding criminals for longer periods of times. A perfect example is a drug crimes in California where the second strike carries a four year sentence and after a third strike the time is 25 years. This is a long standing issue where a nonviolent offender is in cell for a quarter of a century. Is there a perfect methodology for incarcerating individuals for an appropriate amount of time, absolutely not, but these lengthy sentences for non-violent crimes carry a heavy burden and do not treat the root cause of the crime.

The due process clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments requires that the government respect all legal rights that are "due" to an individual. This helps guarantee fair treatment through the criminal justice process and prevents the government from arbitrarily taking away someone's life, liberty, or property. Due process is crucial for protecting civil liberties and ensuring a just criminal justice system.
The document discusses the problem of prison overcrowding in the United States and proposes abolishing mandatory minimum sentencing as a solution. It notes that prisons are overcapacity, overcrowding increases inmate stress and violence, and mandatory minimums contribute to excessive sentencing and costs. Abolishing mandatory minimums would give judges discretion over sentencing to consider individual circumstances instead of mandatory minimum punishments. This could help reduce overcrowding, costs, and racial disparities in the criminal justice system.
The document discusses the rights of the accused under the US Constitution. It summarizes the key rights guaranteed by the 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 14th Amendments, including the rights to due process, a speedy trial, confrontation of witnesses, protection from unlawful search and seizure, protection from self-incrimination, and equal protection under the law. These rights place restrictions on government power and guarantee a fair legal process for criminal defendants.
Due process is a fundamental constitutional right that ensures fairness in the criminal justice system. It requires that the government respect all legal rights that are owed to a person according to the fair administration of justice. This includes fair notice of what conduct is prohibited and equal treatment under the law. Due process helps to protect against arbitrary or unfair treatment by the government.

1. California’s Three Strikes Law
In 1994, California enacted its “Three Strikes” law. This law significantly changed
the sentencing structure in convictions for defendants who had previously been
convicted of certain felonies.
What is a strike? A “strike” is essentially a conviction for a felony that is
considered “serious” or “violent” under California statutes. Examples of serious
felonies include murder, voluntary manslaughter, kidnapping, burglary, robbery,
certain assaults, and arson. Examples of violent felonies include lewd acts on a
child, attempted murder, rape, kidnapping and any felony causing great bodily
injury. Van Nuys criminal lawyer
What are the consequences of having a strike? A strike for a prior conviction (a
“strike prior”) affects the sentencing in a future felony, whether the new crime is a
strike or not.
(1) Defendants with a strike prior cannot receive probation for a new felony
and must serve a prison sentence if convicted.
(2) Defendants with a strike prior must be sentenced to double the prison
sentence if convicted of a new felony. For example, if the defendant
receives the recommended low term of 16 months for the new crime, the
actual sentence will be 32 months.
(3) Defendants with a strike prior must serve 80% of the sentence if convicted
of a new felony (or 85% if the current felony is serious or violent).
Normally, defendants without a strike prior serve about 50% of their
sentence.
What are the consequences of having two or more strikes on your record? After
two felony strikes, an individual faces 25 years to life in prison for any
subsequent felony, even if the new felony is not itself a strike offense. It does not
matter if the first two strikes occurred years or decades earlier.
Is it possible to avoid the consequences of a strike prior? Despite the mandatory
sentence structure of the three strikes law, it is possible to have a strike prior
“stricken” or dismissed and not considered for purposes of sentencing in a new
felony. The district attorney has discretion to strike a strike prior if they feel that
applying the three strikes law is too severe. Strike priors can also be stricken by
the judge in response to a motion filed by the defendant’s attorney if the court
finds that the present crime is not the type of crime that the three strikes law is
meant to encompass. Van Nuys criminal attorney

Steven Valerio and Garret Weinrieb
