Both are approached very differently in court. The second section explains how criminal law issues complicate family cases. This section shows how challenging family cases are that involve law issues. The third section is on the intersection of criminal and family law. The last section is on the Scarlet Letter Proposal written by Professor Chiu.
Others may think the exclusionary rule should not be used to enforce the Fourth Amendment. They feel at times it is necessary for the exclusionary rule to not be used. I can understand their position because they are looking at putting the accused defendant behind bars and make sure they are punished to the fullest. At times without the exclusionary rule, the case in court can succeed and get the result the prosecution and maybe even what the public want. Sometimes people feel the defendant has too many rights and has more benefits, which could help them get away with criminal activity.
This and the legislators passing more restrictive juvenile codes seems to have an overall beneficial effect on the delinquency rate and that is that it has declined. Specific deterrence is used to send convicted offenders to secure incarceration facilities so that punishment is severe enough to convince the offenders not to repeat their criminal activity (Wadsworth, 2005). Though there are research studies that show that arrest and conviction may lower the frequency of reoffending other
Within the due process one may not be treated cruel, unfair or be given unreasonable treatment. Every accused person is entitled to fair procedures, and the due process applies to the criminal justice system as the trials, parole hearings, and administrative hearings. Due process main goal is to protect the innocent from being wrongfully convicted but may be looked upon as focusing on the rights of the accused and ignoring the rights of the victims. Crime control model is taken back a little and is the complete opposite of Due Process Model, which the crime control model focuses on the initial arrest, prosecution, and the conviction of a criminal. Due process priorities stand with protecting an
The criminal justice process is much like a funnel with a large opening at the top, tapering down to a much narrower opening at the bottom (Meyer & Grant, 2003). The illustration of the funnel refers to the reduced number of crimes reported, detected, and punished by the system, rather than the actual number essentially committed (Meyer & Grant, 2003). There are several reasons this may happen; the crime is never reported, the case was dismissed, or the case may have bees refer to treatment or counseling. The funnel decreases are due to case attrition. You could say that in the funnel model there are more suspects and defendants then there are inmates.
The rewards can involve money or even a sense of gratification according to sociologist Jack Katz in the text book Criminal Justice in action when said “’rewards’ of crime may be sensual as well as financial. The inherent Danger, according to Katz, increases the ‘rush’ a criminal experiences on successfully committing a crime” (pg32). Not all Crimes are fun and games. They do have their costs such as probation and jail time this is because it deters the thought process in doing right from wrong. This can be found in the text Criminal Justice in Action when stated “Because crime is seen as the end result of a series of rational choices, policy makers have reasoned that severe
That usually means reverting to street crimes. These crimes include burglary, vandalism, and selling drugs. Those individuals feel that street crime is the only way they will obtain material success. Merton's theory may stand true when comparing social status with street crime; however, his theory becomes weak when the crimes include white-collar and business crimes. Therefore, Merton's theory has become an “anomie theory”.
Embezzlement is one of the most common White Collar Crimes; which is, "to appropriate fraudulently to one's own use, as money or property entrusted to one's care." White-collar crime is not a classic, clear-cut case of deviance. It has one foot in conventionality and one foot in deviance. Most of us hold the conception that "crime" is what street people, or at least poor people, do. However, there is, a difference in seeing an affluent, 60 year-old banker in handcuffs and a prison uniform.
(Hallam et al. 2005: 56) Some crimes however are not reported because the victim may be intimidated by the person responsible for the crime, or they may not have faith in the police to pursue the crime if they do report it. Other victims of crime may not report it as they feel that the crime is too minor, or that the police will think it is too minor to pursue. A large amount of sexual crime goes unreported because the victim is either too shocked, afraid or embarrassed. Police can use their discretion as to whether or not an incident is worth reporting, they have to decide if the incident is serious
The Differences between a Civil and Criminal Case Have you ever noticed that there are more criminal cases being mentioned on the news as opposed to civil ones? Or know that there is even a difference between the two? It is a common misconception that civil and criminal cases are one of the same. In our legal system they are two completely different cases, civil and criminal. A civil case is when the plaintiff decides to sue another person, organization, or a business, the individual being sued is also called the defendant.
