1) Crime and punishment have evolved throughout history as governments and philosophies have changed. Different theories on criminology have attempted to understand and prevent crime.
2) The US criminal justice system involves law enforcement, courts, and punishment. It uses a jury system and separates powers to prevent authoritarian rule.
3) There are different types of prisons in the US based on security level that house inmates depending on their crimes. Faith-based and vocational programs aim to reduce recidivism but have not shown significant impacts so far.
OCA Endorses New Updates to Hate Crime LawJesse Cheng
Holding a bachelor of arts in Asian American Studies from the University of California, Irvine, Jesse Cheng works with Assura Public Relations in Anaheim, California. Additionally, Jesse Cheng is a longtime member of the Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA).
In February 2020, OCA lent its official support to bipartisan legislation introduced by Republican senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Democratic senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota aimed at making it easier to prosecute hate crimes. Dubbed the “Justice for Victims of Hate Crimes Act,” the bill would change the criteria for determining what constitutes a hate crime, more clearly defining the term to avoid a loophole that exists in the current law.
Currently, a prosecutor must establish that an element of bias was the only reason a person committed the crime in order for the law to apply. The new bill would allow for other motives alongside the bias while still giving prosecutors the power to charge an individual with a hate crime. OCA is urging Congress to take up and pass the legislation.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
1. CJ- 130 : Week 5 – Assignment: Mid-Term EssayJuly 10, 2010Patricia Pryor StudentKaplan University Crime and punishment has always been used throughout civilization. As governments evolved so have the concepts used in punishment of a criminal, the philosophy of crime, and punishment has changed at many times in history. Crime is part of any culture and in order to combat crimes there has always been some form of punishment used. This is done in an attempt to try and deter crime. America’s approach in the nineteenth century was thought to be advanced and people would travel to the United States to learn about it. Today incarnations rates in the United States are one of the highest in the world. <br />This history of crime and punishment in the United States goes way back even before the United States Constitution, where in 1608 James Kendall was executed, showing that capital punishment was an acceptable form of punishment. The United States started by using a checks and balances system in order to separate power and prevent authoritarian use. In the United States they use a jury system that appoints members of one’s peers in order to interpret laws and determine whether the accused is guilty or not guilty. The criminal justice systems involves many parts including the local law enforcement, court trial, court case, trial with a grand jury, and decision and punishment. <br />Lombroso is known as the father of criminology, he studied criminology from different angles. Criminology is very important when trying to understand crime and crime prevention. There were many theories in history; some believed that you could study people’s skulls, this study is called Phrenology. Theories that were created using roots from biology, psychology and society. These theories are what help police officers catch criminals. These criminals are then sentences to some form of punishment which takes the criminal out of society. The problem is that every day new criminals emerge then society has to learn how to combat new criminals. As a society we treat the symptoms, the individual criminals, but as a society we are still trying to determine the instigating factor. There are a variety of institutional settings that are used in the United States. Where an inmate goes depends on what crime they were convicted of. The use of different facilities helps dictate where an inmate will be placed. <br />Minimum Security Institutions are also known as Federal Prison Camps. These usually have a dormitory housing setting. These institutions have a low security level and the ratio between staff and inmates are usually pretty low. They have many work-release oriented programs.<br />Low securities Federal Correctional Institutions have a higher staff to inmate ratio than in Minimum Security Institutions. They normally have a double-fenced perimeter, the housing is dormitory or cubicle settings and like minimum security they have a work program. <br />Medium securities have stronger perimeters than minimum and low security. They are usually double fences with some sort of electronic detection system. Housing is cell type, and they offer a variety of work and treatment programs. They have a higher staff to inmate ratio, and greater internal controls versus low security. <br />High security institutions have a highly secure perimeter with walls or reinforced fences. They also have multiple or single occupant cell housings. High security ratio has the highest staff to inmate ratio and very close control of inmate movement. In a lot of federal prisons there is a lot different security levels located in closely together in order to increase efficiency and sharing services and help with emergency preparedness. <br />There is also the administrative facilities these facilities are used for special missions, such as detention of pretrial offenders, and medical centers to treat inmates. They can also house dangerous inmates or those that have made previous escapes attempts. <br />Private prisons are the transfer from public facilities to a private one. The government contracts out a new facility to design and operate new prisons. Although the prisons are private the government will still regulate the private prisons. Therefore there really is less difference between the two than what some people commonly believed (Dolovich, 2005). Private prisons grew in the late 1990s. <br />Prison have a hard time in establishing a well balanced system, a system where the public feels the inmates are being punished but also establishes a system protecting the inmates from cruel and unusual punishment. Florida removed the Welfare Trust Fund that allowed the purchase of television or other electronic devices, but still uses televisions that are donated in order to help with educational purposes, tools used to influence good behavior, and to prevent idleness. Cable television is not allowed in prison and only seems fair considering the fact that many people that are not in the prison system do not even afford themselves with such extras. Some good key points of the Florida prison system is that about 80% are assigned to work and/or participate in some sort of program whether it is substance abuse, or vocational or adult education. Georgia and Florida offer a variety of programs to help assist placement of their offenders with reentry. In Georgia, at Lee Arrendale State Prison in Alto the prisons can enroll in faith and character program, they live in separate dormitory hold regular meetings with volunteers. quot;
If we can influence their behavior in prison such that it changes their thought process from the negative, from the criminal, to a positive way to become a productive citizen ... we have to use every tool in the belt,quot;
said prison warden Tony Turpin. Ten other states have faith based prison programs because there is a belief that this will help the inmates give them a leg up by embracing a certain religious perspective. Faith programs have helped avoided much criticism because it offers the program to inmates on good behavior and includes multiple religions. Nationally two of three inmates will return, the hope of these programs is to help them beat the odds because it cost around $55.00 a day to keep an inmate in prison. Many programs are created to try and battle the recidivism rate, there is jobs in the prison setting, short term vocational training, short term assistance, and treatment programs. The problem is that studies done so far do not show a significant decrease in inmates returning to prison. <br />Reference<br />Whitman , J. (2006, December 1). Punishment.
