Social and economic forces in Criminal Justice System

Social and economic forces are also contributing factors to the high number of minorities in criminal activities. There is a high level of social and economic inequalities in minorities and these factors increases the vulnerability of illegal activities (Dammer & Albanese, 2014). The difference creates many challenges in several areas and the challenges acts as impediments in economic opportunity.  Minorities are underprivileged in terms of education and standards of living and this increases the rate of violent victimization since they are viewed as people who depend on illegal activities on order to sustain their lives. Minorities engage themselves in unlawful activities such as illegal drug trade thereby increasing the risk of being incarcerated.  In addition, social factors contributes to  the disproportionate numbers of illegal behavior  in that  racially segregated communities has a high a  level of  poverty,  lack of employment, social isolation and family disruption  and all these factors  lead to strong effect toward minorities (Dammer & Albanese, 2014).  A large number of minorities come from low social status as a result of race and ethnicity. Minorities live a poor life since they are poorly paid and they end up living a life-long poverty. They are also disadvantaged in terms of education and when they enter in the workforce they lack ‘job readiness’ and this contributes to job termination (Dammer & Albanese, 2014). Unemployment increases the rate of criminal activities to minorities as they become vulnerable to illegal acts why trying to satisfy their lives.

Law enforcement will not be able to racially profile since this is not the effective approach to fight crime. Despite the fact that this approaches targets the minorities, the approach does not focus on native citizens who possess contrabands (Glover, 2009).  Given the terrorism act in last decades, the approach will not work since it measures the actions in terms of race or religion done rather that the offender of illegal behaviors whether it is White or Black. Knowing that U.S is vulnerable to terrorist, a certain groups may commit an illegal act and instead of having a deep investigation, the crime may be overlooked only because it is not associated with the target group. It is important to note that this will increases crime rate since the profiling does not record the races behavior but it notices  the individual actions (Glover, 2009)..

IMMUNITY

The federal Statutes provided in the law oversee bribery of public authorities and acceptance of bribes. In a court proceeding which involves such torts, the victim should be guided by the prosecutor choice. However, as per the penal code 18 U.S.C pinpoints the importants of these immunity choices (Fox, 2013). I would have advice my client to adopt transactional immunity since it would give him a significant advantage over the other plan. This would protect him from any type of prosecution emanating from the offense involved among other considerable benefits. Incidentally, there would be no judges in regards to some of the exchanged information with the plaintiff. The Statutes prohibiting bribery giving, or any promises linked to corruption. As agent of the defense you ought them to provide the intent of influence in which in this case it might be hard to prove. More importantly, the prosecution side has to avail all the elements for the bribery crime put across.

The client will be on the safe side if transactional immunity is elected simply to the fact, you would not be subjected to any form of offense stanching from immunized statement. If the evidence is obtained from independent source it would still protect the latter. The most vocal word in the doctrine of law is “You have the right to remain silent” is remarkably the most acknowledged adage in felonious justice (Yang, 2012). Coming from the 5^th Amendment to the State constitutional structure, the law does not allow and protects individuals from being subjected to respond to incriminating interrogations about one self. Consequently, many people confuse what one should be indicted for whenever a bribery case is intended to be put forward (Fox, 2013). Defendant intents is the most vital and deciding element in regards to how a court case will proceed also the benefit being added to the receiver and vice versa. Finally, recipient conduct should also come up as defensive means when such situation arises.

Blog Response

            Intermediate sanctions are done between experimentation and imprisonment. These are government’s response to the prison overcrowding.  They are the alternating rebuke that is used to observe criminals who are not under the common limits of audition.  They can be court ordered or can be given by the group of probation.  These intermediate sanctions are mainly in American but can be different from state to state (Schaefer, Cullen & Eck, 2015). 

            Intermediate sanctions are lenient to criminals as it seems like an option of sentencing that restricts more probation activities and allow more offenders to be released to the community without the engagement of the community.  The sanctions are established within the aim of rehabilitation which is a type of punishment that is used to reform the criminal and return the criminal to the society as a citizen who has abided the law. They can be said to tolerate the offenders as they eliminate the overcrowding in prisons as it allows more criminals to engage in programs that are made change the offender as he lives as part of the given community.  The intermediate sanctions help in reduction of the criminal repetition of a certain crime.  This is because the rehabilitation programs are made to evaluate the cause of the criminal behavior and the offender is less likely to repeat the mistake (Schaefer, Cullen & Eck, 2015).

            These sanctions impact to the CCOs in a bad way.  This can be explained by the fact that as the offenders are in probation, they need supervision so as not to bring problems in the community.  These convicted criminals are released by the court as they serve their sentence under conditions that are outlined by the court.  The court retains its power and gives the CCOs the authority to supervise and resentence the criminal if the probationer violates the rules of probation (Schaefer, Cullen & Eck, 2015).

The Fourth (4th) Amendment: The New Frontier

            According to the article, plain view describes to the state at which the evidence of a crime is in a bare view even when it has not been stated clearly in the warrant. The plain view can either be in the actual location or in a different location pursuant to a lawful search authorization. Thus the obvious evidence can be detained if it is in a plain view (Vishny 2012). Thus this plain view policy relates to appropriations that are conducted pursuant to the search permit that allows the police officers to go beyond the scope of their warrant. This is allowed when there is an earlier valid intrusion meaning that the police officer must be authorized to be at the place they located the evidence. Also the plain view is applied when the evidence value of the item in the plain view must be immediately obvious to the officer and the sighted evidence object must be in the plain view. It involves tangible objects that can be smelled or heard and even can be tasted. There are several exceptions to this doctrine (Vishny 2012). One of the exceptions is in cases of an emergency; the police officer may take hold of any object that is in plain view when it seems to be evidence of the crime. Another exception is when there is a hot pursuit between the police and a felony and also in cases of imminent destruction of evidence where the police officers may seize the object if they believe that the evidence will be destroyed.  

            Strip and body cavity searches should be merited since they may help gather evidence against serious crimes such as smuggling of drugs into the country. These searches are also important for safety purposes as the search is carried out, harmful objects like bombs and guns can be retrieved and hence capturing of the victim thus making it safer.

Criminology

Introduction

            Andrew Luster was born in 1963 and was raised up in California at a place called Malibu and he attended school in Los Angles. He was a psychiatrist and an heir to Max factor cosmetics wealth. It was in 2000 after a scholar from a native university reported of a case where she was raped at Luster’s home and that when the police arrested Luster (Donovan 2016). As the police started their investigation, they identified some of the videotapes that he had taken while assaulting these women. The police officers found the videotapes as they were searching the offender’s house. He was therefore charged with sexual harassment, raping and drugging and also videotaping the assaults. He later paid a one million bail where he was released but was expected to return to court in January of 2003 so that he could defend himself against all those charges. However he failed to appear in court and he vanished. Though in absentia, the court convicted him and sentenced him for one hundred and twenty four years in prison (Zanotti et al 2006).  It was at this time that a movie was made basing on him and his victims where it was supposed to end with a picture of the real Andrew Luster along with a request to the public to help search and notify the police officers if anyone should see him. Soon after he was captured the movie was re-written so as to integrate his capture. He was however incarcerated and according to the California law he was to serve 85% of his sentence before being considered for a release since his actions harmed others (Donovan 2016). He later filed for a petition in 2009 which was reviewed by another court on appeal and his sentence was reduced to fifty years while his conviction remained the same.

The court sentenced him for forty eight years in prison for the raping’s and two years for the drug connected charges where he used GHB drugs (Smalley 2003). He was also charged $40 million to pay to the civil lawsuits’ victims where he sold most of his assets so as to pay them and he was declared bankrupt (Zanotti et al 2006).

Evolutionary theory

            It is quite essential to examine the rationale behind why offenders commit crime and how crime should be handled and prevented. There are so many theories that have emerged over time and the exploration of more theories both individually and as a group are continuing. Criminologists are therefore seeking for better solutions that would eventually reduce types and levels of crime. Evolutionary theory is an approach both in the social as well as in the natural knowledge and studies the psychological arrangement from the contemporary evolutionary viewpoint. The theory pursues to realize the hominoid psychological characters are changed adaptations. The theory argues out that the human conduct is the product of mental adaptations that have changed to explain repeated difficulties in human inherited surroundings (Quinsey 2002). The theory has two categories based on the gene-based evolution where one of the categories is the crime specific and it pertains to the cases of rape, spouse murder and assaults and child abuse. The other category involves the two common theories of criminal and antisocial behaviors and assumes that these crimes are attributed by the variation in genes. The theory therefore assumes that natural selection has taken part in the human populations hence opening up reproductive niches for the individuals who victimize others. The theory focuses on the hormone known as testosterone as the main cause of aggression and criminality and is used during the times of competition. Therefore the male gender is regarded more the most aggressive than female and this explains the reason behind high male crime rates.

This mainly happens to the teens and the mid-aged males due to the increase in testosterone. The theory thus concludes that human race has evolved while the traits and physical characteristics have become embedded (Quinsey 2002). It is some of these traits that have made people to become violent and inclined to compel crimes. The power of this theory is that it expounds on the high violence rates and the aggregate variation in sexual category in the crime rates. The weakness of this theory is that there is no testability to the cognitive and the assumptions made in the theory (Siegel 2012).

            Andrew Luster actions can be attributed to mental aberration and disturbance in the personality. He seems to be disturbed and mentally ill because of the current American generation that has grown up watching films and television shows that depict the violent criminals as mental disrupted activity and physical abnormality. The generation that is there shows that the occurrence of these activities is as a result of the mental disruption (Siegel 2008).

The fact that Luster is a male explains the reasons behind his aggressive behavior to the three females whom he raped. The fact that he is unmarried makes him to have a low status and thus causes him to commit his crimes. His low status that results to his antisocial behavior is also attributed to him being childless. This is an indication that he did not have legitimate relationships and this explains his rape actions that is his reproductive approach that accelerated the propagation of his rapist’s posterity. According to the evolutionary theory, his low status contributed to him undertaking these risky activities that made him to commit crime after another crime so as to try to improve his status and reproductive success (Quinsey 2002).

Conclusion

            It is therefore important that the law should formulate and implement policies that enable male gender to pursue status through the non-violet mechanisms that does not affect other people. Understanding the reasons as to why Luster committed these crimes in his late adolescent age has enabled us to see the relation between the social disadvantage that he had and the selection pressure that he was faced with as a male species in the ancestral environments. If he had a family that is a wife and children probably he would have been able to have a higher status thus he would not have committed this crime. As crime rates vary with time and space it only means the best way to reduce the violence is through understanding of the culture evolutionary progression as it will help in shaping the norms concerning the violence and the antisocial conduct. Strong adaption of the media has rapidly brought about unsafe future and has resulted to increase in risk taking crimes and competition that lead them to behave in a mental disrupted manner.

Establishing a Probable Cause

Probable cause refers to the criminal law requirement that police officers have enough reason to arrest a person, carry out a search or seize property which relates to purported crime (Del, 2017).  In Tamir Rice case law, the court found a probable cause for charges of involuntary manslaughter, murder, reckless and negligent homicide and neglect of duty against Timothy Loehmann, one of the two Cleveland officers in this case. The officer shot Tamir Rice on Nov.22, 2014.However, the grand jury did not charge the police officers, viewing the case as perfect human error. The case touches on the various development regarding the rights of the law enforcement officers while carrying out their duties and the rights of the civilians.  Considering that the law in Cleveland allows the citizens to by- pass the prosecutor in the cases where the system is trying to shield its own, the legal avenue where ones rights can be defended seems to be closed.  The emerging issue is whether the law enforcement officers will use the rights afforded to them to suppress the citizens’ rights.

Probable cause and reasonable suspicion are aspects in the  law whose evolution has occurred through the decisions of state and federal court, but started in U.S Supreme Court. Probable cause is thus interpreted to exist where a law enforcement officer is aware of such facts as to would make a rational person to believe that another person is committing crime, is about to commit or has already carried out a criminal act. Reasonable suspicion is a measure in which the officer is allowed to stop and detain someone for a short while based on the officers experience or training that makes them believe that the individual is carrying out a criminal act. Probable cause to engage in looking for evidence or seize the proof requires the officer to possess enough facts that would make a reasonable person believe that there will be found evidence in the area to be searched (Del, 2017).

Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Crimes Scenario

From the information collected from the victim, the offender did various offenses with one leading to another. The first crime the man committed is burglary. This is where a person enters into someone’s property illegally and with malicious intentions. The evidence to support this claim is the fact that the man got into the lady’s car without any permission. The man also committed larceny which is theft of property. When the man, ordered the victim to get off all her money, he committed larceny. The man went forward to drive the car away which is also a form of theft.

The uniform crime report is a program that provides a nationwide view of all crimes and especially from the submission statistics and the overall gauge of crimes (Wilson, 2009). The hierarchy of crimes on the other hand is a classification of crime with respect to their position in the UCR. In this case, the crime with the highest hierarchy is larceny. The hierarchy is much applicable when there is multiple crimes like burglary and larceny. The criminal court would highly consider larceny as the major crime while the other might be ignored. Index crimes are the eight main crimes among which are robberies, rape murder among others which are used by the FBI to make the annual crime index.

The hierarchy rule considers the main crime and ignores all the others and therefore the offender is liable only to one crime. From the statistical data that was analyzed from the conference, the report is not consistent because it leaves out several instances which were supposed to be captured in the analysis (Wilson, 2009). The conference is seen to go beyond the jurisdiction of the sergeant because factors like age are not considered. The jurisdiction usually set boundaries to the nature of people who are found guilty (Wilson, 2009).

Policing

1. Discretion

            This is the ability to decide on what ought to be done in some specific situations. This involves the feature of speaking in a way that helps to avoid causing an offence as well as revealing private details of other people (Cole et al 2008). Discretion can be viewed negatively or positively depending on different people. It is used by all levels of criminal justice system including the police officers. Police officers therefore use it to make a decision on whether to arrest or to file charges when enforcing law. Police officers use this conduct to make things easier on their very difficult job requirements and use it also to identify specific individual priorities that each and every police officer has to eliminate the broad as well as contradicting laws that are established by policy makers (Dempsey et al 2013). In most cases police officers are faced with different situations that require to be handled differently and this is where discretion is used.

            An example of a crucial situation in which the police officer uses discretion is where an officer might be in patrol n an environment where  there is high rate of drug trafficking. At that same time he receives a service call that there is an armed robbery in a bank and the suspect is on foot. In following the suspect, he identifies that he has a gun. The suspect attacks a passer- by along the way and it becomes so crucial that the police officer has to use his discretion so as to make a decision on whether to make an intervention that involves him to draw out his weapon or else to call for back-up for assistance. Using discretion he draws his weapon and orders the suspect to freeze and he makes his arrest.  

            Cynicism refers to the mistrust of human nature and intentions where man is believed to act mainly according to self interest. This can affect police officers productivity, Influence on the morale of their fellow colleagues and the society relation.  This affects the officers in their line of service and with time they lose respect for law and community and their self esteem as they are faced with reality (Barkan et al 2013). As they are bitterer of the reality of things, they nurture their hatreds to the public and therefore end up becoming victims of cynicism. This therefore results to the development of poor relationship between the police officers and the public. This is because the public think of police officers as people who are affected by cynicism hence act in accordance to their self interest.

2. Deadly force

            This is referred to as the use of a certain level of force that a police officer may use that may cause considerable risks such as death and body injury. This is only justified when other lesser forces have been used with no success especially under extreme circumstances. Some of the situations where this deadly force is permitted include cases where the offence is quite severe such that the suspect poses a greater threat. In this case the suspect runs way and totally refuses to be arrested, and then deadly force can be permitted in this case. Another case where use of deadly force is permitted is when the police officer shoots at the suspect while undertaking self defense against a misdemeanor case. Felony cases permit an officer to use all the available forces even if it means killing the suspect in question (Belur 2010).

            However deadly force is not permissible to all cases for instance while protecting or defending a property from being interfered with by someone else even when these interferences are unlawful and there exist no other way to control this interference, one is not allowed to use deadly force. Police officers should not use deadly force in cases where their action is viewed to endanger the lives of the innocent bystanders and passers-by (Belur 2010).

            Ambiguity is quite realized by police officers in their daily routine especially in situations that require deadly force.  They are regarded as ambiguous since they raise confusion in police officers as they are unsure whether to draw their weapons or to shoot and within this short span some other innocent officers and passersby may be killed by the suspect (Belur 2010). This occurs when the officer has to fight the stress within so as to come up with a final decision that will be safeguard him and others. With this kind of stress the police officer may be triggered to be anxious and thus increasing his heart rate that may affect their judgment at that time. Unpreparedness also causes ambiguity as the police officers are faced with emergency cases where they have no other option of force to use rather than the deadly force.

            In conclusion, it is important to note that policing is important in the society and hence proper procedure ought to b e used while making arrests or in using force to ensure that they protect the society from criminal activities. Law should be used to those police officers who violate these standards of using the deadly force that are unjustifiable by law.

Legal aspect of construction

Part 1

The calculation for the contractor’s compensation was agreed to be determined by multiplication of the construction cost times a set rate of 6 percent. The construction cost was however based on the unit price that was set for the entire process.

1,000,000 x 6 % = 60,000

60,000-25,000= $35,000

Part 2

A contract must lead to bargain like consideration for it to be valid. In the dispute regarding the enforceability of the contract, the court of law must initially determine if the agreement involve a contract. There must be a good definition of the terms in the contract for it to be enforced by the court (Hess, & American Bar Association, 2007). If the conclusion of the court is that a contract existed, it must determine whether it will be enforceable. The clause in the contract between the architect and client clearly shows that all claims will be barred unless they are presented within a period of 6 months after the maturity of the contractor’s final payment. Due to this clarification, the court would deem the clause to be enforceable if there existed no extra cost after the payment is due. If there are extra cost relating to the negligence of the contractor, the clause would thus be unenforceable. It has to be determined whether the contract formation process and the various substantive terms are fair or not. If the terms of the contract as spelled out in the clause leads to shocking the courts conscience, it may be regarded as unconscionable and thus unenforceable. Thus for the clause to be enforceable it must include the various exemptions that would lender it void. However, settlement negotiations may be entered instead of lawsuit

The Murders in the Rue Morgue

The introduction of the story.

Page 1.

The introduction of the story explains the way a person thinks or otherwise reasons. The introduction goes on to give examples of how a game of chess is more of a mental game than just an ordinary game. The details provided in the introductory paragraph, tend to confuse a person on what the story is mainly about. The introductory paragraph consequently leaves the reader in a dilemma because the title seems different from the introductory paragraph (Edgar, 2014).

I hated the way, the author started the introduction since it made me to have different ideas about what the story was really about. In other words, I thought the story was completely about a different topic other than its title which is The Murder in the Rue Morgue (Edgar, 2014). Before I completed the introductory paragraph, I had different ideas of what the story was mainly about. According to my point of view, the introductory information seemed very different and it really confused me.

After reading the introductory paragraph, I expected the story to be basically about how the human psychology affects the choices that people make. The story however talked about a different scenario than what I had actually assumed it was about (Edgar, 2014). After the introduction, the story in relation to the topic then started. However, the introduction attracted my attention and I really wanted to read more into the story in order to be able to understand what the story was really about.

What are the unique features in this story?

The story is unique in that the flow of events are in a very systematic manner. The narrator starts with an introductory paragraph which makes the reader to think critically about what the story is really about (Edgar, 2014). This makes the reader to be more curious thus reading deeper into the story in order to be able to understand the plot of the story. The pattern of the flow of events in the story are consequently very unique judging from the way the narrator has categorised the flow of events.

Secondly, the story starts with an introduction which talks about the way the mind affects the decisions that people make. The narrator provides examples using different games and the way that a person can be able to beat his or her opponent through playing a mental game. The narrator then, starts a story whereby he meets Dupin in Paris who finally becomes his friend and they therefore live together. Thirdly, the narrator comes across a newspaper which talks about murders, and has the title Extraordinary Murders (Edgar, 2014). This therefore brings about the story within a story which is a feature of style. The development of a story within a story is very effective and it has really helped in making the story to be relevant to the title.

The narrator also uses dialogue which as a means of passing more information from the story. Through dialogue, one is able to understand how Dupin behaves and why he is consequently thinking in a different way from that of the narrator. Furthermore, much information about an event is passed through the dialogue between the two characters who discuss and come up with ideas of what really happened. This therefore makes the story to be very unique thus it attracts the attention of the reader (Edgar, 2014).

Page 1. 12^th and 13^th paragraph.

                This paragraphs symbolise the main plot of the story, and they therefore make the story relevant to its title. The story talks about the murder and this consequently reflects back to the title of the story hence it attracted me since it was main part that I was looking forward to reading. The passage is about a murder which took place at a fourth story house in Rue Morgue. This incident which took place at night, attracted the attention of most people. The murder took place at Madame L’Espanaye’s house where she lived with her daughter.

The setting of the story takes place in Madame L’Espanaye’s house where the house has been left in a total mess. Madame L’Espanaye’s daughter’s body was found hanged in the house with bruises on the face. The setting of the story consequently explains how the murder was brutal, since the house was in a total mess, this therefore means that there might have been a tag of war between the deceased and the murderers leading to her murder. Thus the narrator has been able to make the story enjoyable as the reader can be able to form images at the back of his or her mind while reading the story.

Thus the narrator has been able to make the story entertaining, hence the reader can enjoy reading it. This is mainly because, the narrator has achieved writing a very good story which requires the reader to read it all before finally understanding what it is really about. Nevertheless, the narrator has been able to attract the attention readers through the eye catching story (Edgar, 2014).
