This paper emphasizes the contrast between the U.S. and Japan and contends that while the degree of sentencing which might be rendered is only one of the factors which has an impact on criminal activity.

Criminal Justice Policy Change: Open-System
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Community interactivity where criminal justice is concerned has become a critical component in the ongoing struggle to balance the ever-lopsided presence of perpetrators to law enforcement officers. Until recently, the aspect of a closed-system approach was looked upon as the most appropriate way to protect society against criminal infiltrators, however, law enforcement officials have come to realize the beneficial impact of involving community members by means of the open-system approach is not only practical and advantageous from a criminal justice perspective but also economically sound in a time when police funding is stretched as far as it can go and it still comes up short. At issue, however, is the manner by which myriad communities across the country have failed to realize these benefits and continue to employ a closed-system ideology. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Criminal Justice System / Significant Challenges Confronting Corrections in the Twenty-First Century
[ send me this paper ]
In 7 pages, the author discusses three significant challenges confronting corrections in the 21st century. "The criminal justice system is comprised of the police, the courts, and the department of corrections. The criminal justice system is a checks and balance system, in that each component defines the others. These components work independently and together in order to ensure that laws are kept, that people tried for crimes are given their Constitutional rights, and that those found guilty are either punished or rehabilitated or both. The field of corrections has three significant challenges facing it in the 21st century: prison overcrowding, limited funds, and protecting society from criminals by imprisonment and/or rehabilitation."

Criminal Justice System: Austria And The United States
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The differences between Austria and America's criminal justice systems were not always so broad; in fact, there was a time when both mirrored a decidedly punitive approach when it came to criminal justice. Coupled with Austria's conservative nature, this particular stance was neither popular nor productive; as such, a trend began taking place throughout the 1980s and 1990s that incorporated a more mediation-minded position to addressing the perpetual nature of criminal activity. Compared with this newfangled victim-offender mediation, the United States continues to utilize harsh and unrelenting tactics when it comes to its overall approach to criminal justice.

Criminal Procedure And Evidence
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Criminal procedure encompasses myriad components that work in tandem to uphold the law and at the same time catch the perpetrator. Stage one is where the crime is first recognized or detected, with law enforcement officials utilizing the 'everyone's a suspect' approach before zeroing in on any particular individual. Once a specific suspect has been identified, the procedure moves into the second stage of accusation where the individual is fingered for allegedly committing the crime; from here, it quickly moves to number three, the arrest stage. If the alleged perpetrator is underage, he or she will be moved to juvenile court; otherwise, the procedure goes on to the fourth stage of searching for evidence. This stage can occur prior to or after the arrest depending upon the circumstances. Stages five and six – booking and follow-up investigation – round out the six main stages of criminal procedure. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Criminal Sentencing: White Black and Mental
[ send me this paper ]
(8pp). What we will be looking at in this discussion are basically two issues that have somehow become enmeshed: According to Davis (1998), more than 70 percent, of the imprisoned population, are people of color. It is rarely acknowledged, that the fastest growing group of prisoners are black women, and that Native American prisoners are the largest group per capita. Approximately five million people - including those on probation and parole -- are directly under the surveillance of the criminal justice system. And according to Ditton (1999) sixteen percent of those incarcerated in state systems are mentally ill. One of the questions that then arises from this data is, are the white mentally ill sentenced to incarceration at a different ratio than people of color? Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Criminal Treatment Program And Criminal Theory
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Restructuring an individual's life when he or she has chosen the criminal route is both a long and arduous process; for lawbreakers who do not respond to standard scare tactics as a means by which to set them straight, there are tougher, more intimidating ways to achieve this objective. Understanding why some people turn to illegal activity while others do not is what criminal theories strive to reflect; attempting to correlate the relationship between theory and treatment finds one often borrowing from more than a single explanation. Boot camps and shock incarceration programs represent two treatment programs where a specific objective is sought through a series of harsh and enlightened interchange in order to ready criminals for reenter into society on its terms.

Current Death Penalty Sentences: Arbitrary
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. In light of the definition of arbitrary, if the death penalty was outlawed for being capricious based on the lack of guidelines, it stands to reason that current death penalty sentences fit the definition of arbitrary. One only need look at the most recent episode involving a potential death penalty case where a teenager knowingly took the life of another human being but is being tried as a juvenile without possibility of death. In essence, the decision to arbitrarily impose the death penalty upon only one of two individuals who both committed the crime of murder simply because one is over eighteen years of age speaks to a wholly subjective and illogical judicial system. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Current Events : Gun Control
[ send me this paper ]
In 7 pages, the author discusses gun control. The topic of gun control is not a new one. It has been the focus of the nation for years, and this focus is increasing. With the presidential primaries that have occurred as well as the general election in November, this topic has become more of a political one with the express views of the candidates being important to the citizenry. Some citizens are pro-gun control and others are anti-gun control. In the wake of all of the campaign information and the pro-gun vs. anti-gun proponents, however, one must understand that lives are continuing to be lost because of the lack of gun control in this nation. This is evidenced when picking up a magazine, journal, or newspaper today. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
