This case led to the questioning of whether the legal system is effective for the individual and the community and whether it really brought justice to the victims of crime. A large proportion of society feel let down by the legal system, as a mechanism put into place to protect and bring justice has obviously failed in this case. The fact that serious sex offenders who place a black mark on the well being of victims, both physically and mentally being let off in less than 20 years caused a lot of conroversy. Although it may be argued that 55 years was a harsh penalty and didn’t warrant the crime, the victim’s of the crime received a much harsher sentence, a life of trauma and a constant feeling of alarm. Denele Crozier a Women's Health NSW executive officer asked the question many women had asked after the appeal was established ``How many times do women have to be constantly let down and disappointed by the legal
The current El Paso Police Department is a prime example. A recent slew of investigations by local news stations in the Sun City revealed several “corrupt” cops who had overstepped their boundaries, or had hidden behind their badge to commit crimes. And sometimes, that “thin blue line”, as one officer called it, can divide an entire community— or even a police force. “There will be corruption everywhere you go, but of course it depends on the city that you are in,” Officer Doe said, as he drove through the city. “We are human too.
These convicted sex offenders cannot live in most Iowa cities and are forced to live in rural areas. If you are a registered sex offender in Iowa it is no different than being in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. Many politicians feel this law is unfair but they don't vote against these laws for fear they will be labeled as unsympathetic for victims of sexual abuse. The majority of citizens are in favor of this law but they don’t know that there are still many sex offenders around them who haven’t been convicted of it yet. This law should be banned because it is very hard for sex offenders to find a place to live, no matter how serious your offence was all sex offenders have to face the same punishment, and it is very difficult to keep track of all these sex
For instance, you called the police because your husband just assaulted you. This example was used because the mindset that most couples have is that the police should never be called in order to address a domestic violence situation; thus, the victim of this type of violence suffers on a consistent basis. Law-enforcement involvement with minorities is rarely voluntary. Most minorities only call the police as a last resort; therefore, when the police are called the situation is usually out of control. The main reason presented for minority citizens not calling for police assistance is the belief that everyone involved in the situation will be arrested.
The Act was passed a month after 9/11 and some people it was some what rushed. There are many issues with the Patriot Act that strongly violates citizens rights. Many were arrested for no reason without any charges filed against them, and to make things worse they were never given a fair trial. The majority of the procedures law enforcement take to protect the public are done by following the law, but the Patriot Act clearly violates their rights but nothing can be done to stop
Police & Stress Police Administration Tracy Kondrak A lot of stress comes with being a police officer. A lot of times people don’t consider what that person goes through when their shift is over and it’s time for them to take that uniform off. Did you know that police officers have one of the highest suicide rates in the nation? They have the second highest rating for divorce in the nation. They are also known to be problematic drinkers.
Law Enforcement is making arrest every minute from different ethnic groups. Law enforcement officer’s relationship with different ethnic groups has been a rocky road for a very long time because of cultural differences and social differences. Sometimes the lines of communication seem to be strained between officers and minorities. Many minorities feel as though the officers patrol their communities with an iron fist instead of with compassion or equality. The police today must contend directly with a number of issues that carry a racial subtext both in fact and in perception: crime, drugs, disorder, civil unrest, and police brutality.
Gun violence is a major issue in the United States, over the years the number of injuries and deaths from a firearm has sky rocketed leaving people wondering when it will stop. Though many efforts have been made to prevent the issue of gun violence the numbers are steadily rising at an alarming rate throughout the inner cities and also suburbs throughout the world. Most acts of gun violence are senseless and leave a lot of people affected. From mothers and fathers who will never see their children again due to an untimely death, to mothers and fathers who’s children that were on the other side of the gun that committed the crime and are facing life behind bars. These and many other scenarios are the main issues of gun violence.
Death Penalty Should Not Be Abolished Criminals who are not afraid of being equally punished for their horrible crimes have murdered many people every year. Career criminals make it impossible for the average person to live their life without fear. Since most states have eliminated the death penalty murderers, dangerous criminals cannot be sentenced to the death penalty. The way the justice system works in some states is not fair compared to the other states that do have the death penalty. Therefore, the United States interprets the same human right differently depending on a location.
