Criminals are less likely to commit a crime that they know carries a strict sentence. Crime rates will plummet for this specific crime. With the increasing numbers of inmates, there will also be an increasing number of employment needed to monitor these inmates. This strong sentence also would bring more justice to victims and the families of the victims. Ultimately this will help communities become safer.
In my opinion, in an attempt to reduce the amount of armed robberies each year it is crucial to do some investigative work on different methods that would aid in the decline in violent crimes that take place annually. The state legislature will be voting on a bill that will double the maximum prison time that an individual will receive for armed robbery if convicted. Thereby, the whole purpose of this proposal is to help give divergent solutions that perhaps can be of assistance and lead the state legislation members to see a different perspective that can possibly be more useful and effective. For the sake of viewing this trendy bill, it’s imperative to analyze and survey
After getting are heads around the questions above then we can all see the light of what capital does for us as a community and the criminal themselves and why capital punishment should be re-introduced in Britain. Capital punishment permanently removes the worst criminals from society and should prove much safer for the rest of us than long term or permanent
The Juvenile Justice System and Rehabilitation Jackie Wolfe April 24, 2011 The juvenile justice system needs to focus on a program that will help reduce juvenile delinquency. The statistics show that rehabilitating a juvenile is far less expensive than to have them rehabilitated instead of incarcerating them. Rehabilitation should be the primary focus of the juvenile justice system; however, punishment should not be abolished altogether. In this paper the subject will be to discuss why it is better for the juvenile justice system to focus on rehabilitation for these juveniles. It will also discuss how focusing on rehabilitation instead of punishment will affect different aspects of society and the criminal justice system.
Sentencing Sentencing Katie Miller CJA/314 Criminology February 10, 2013 Krista Hall Axia College/University of Phoenix There are many things that must be considered when presenting a Bill to increase sentencing. This particular Bill would double the sentence for armed robbery. At first glance, the Bill appears to be a good plan, but is it really? This report looks at many factors that would be influenced by this Bill. After considering these factors, a recommendation will be made on whether or not this Bill would really be beneficial.
I am having dubious feelings for the success of the geomapping of offender residences idea. The GIS applications enable the crime agencies and the society and as a result, they would be having more knowledge on criminals and statistics and visual depiction serve as a good benchmark for mapping crime and criminal preferred location. Due to which, in my judgment, sex offenders will look for isolated places due to the presence of the geomapping implementation. But, this in turn, would also be beneficial for the criminals to carry out crime activities within least mapped areas. Also, technology and managerial efforts’ failures are conceivable and it can be crucial in certain circumstances.
The majority of studies examining incapacitation effects demonstrate a small but positive effect in reducing crime. However, this crime prevention effect is associated with significant increases in prison populations. Crime can be reduced if the career criminals were identified and incapacitated. This selective incapacitation strategy would identify the offenders who were predicted to commit serious crimes at a higher rate so they could be incarcerated for long periods of
People may rationally choose crime because it provides them with psychological and social benefits and can help them solve problems. Rational Choice Theory roots are based on the classical school of criminology, by Ceasare Beccaria, who viewed that crime is rational and can be prevented by punishment. Beccaria believed criminals weighed the consequences of crime before choosing to violate the law. They would be likely to choose crime if punishment were swift, certain, and severe. The implications of this theory are that we assume criminals are rational decision makers who will choose not to commit crime if they believe that they will be caught and severely punished for their crimes.
An Analysis of the Benefits of Legalized drugs states legalizing the drug will cause reduction in crime. One point mentioned was, given that drugs would be legal, this would cause an increase in supply because of new businessmen entering the field; and because of a higher supply the prices would be lowered. Now that the prices are affordable murder and theft associated with the price of the narcotics would no longer exist. Cussen and Walter state, “Addicts who were formally forced to steal, murder, and engage in illegal employment to earn enough money for their habits will be able to afford the lower prices” (pg. 243).
Angelica M. Prof. H Should drugs, as a whole, be illegal? Even though everyone would have more access to drugs and the number of overdoses might increase, drugs, as a whole, should be legal because it would eliminate the criminal market place, there would be decreases in crimes associated with drugs and people would lose interest in drugs to focus on real issues in society. On the other hand, I completely understand what the opposing side are stating about how drugs should illegal because some drugs are lethal, the drug problem might increase from legalization, and society would worsen from legal drug use. Basically, I am a neutralist when it comes to the controversy. The criminal market place, or the Black Market, would be nothing without the unlawfulness of drugs.
