However it has recently came to question of whether this perception of dangerousness is supported. Is it true that once a sex offender always a sex offender? In this paper I will discuss the evidence about the commonness and nature of sexual offending, characteristics of sex offenders, recidivism rates among different kinds of sex offenders and the support of treatment programs. In most studies the sexual offenders term can be broken down into 3 different classifications. The first group is sexual offenders that commit crimes of sexual violence against adults.
The 15 marker for crime was by far the one that threw everyone off, including myself. "Explain the tension between community interests and individual rights and freedoms within the criminal justice system." My argument was a little weak but I talked about; -police powers and their investigation process - also how inadmissible evidence of DNA could hinder ones freedoms (I used a statistic) and also how police may abuse their discretionary powers - eg. keep the accused in interrogation for more than 4 hrs without the court-approved extension of 8 hrs -also the criminal trial process - the perceived success of the adversary system where both parties present their oral arguments - but still the fact that the individual is deprived of inequity of distribution of skills, resources and knowledges - I underpinned my contemporary case R v.
In addition to the interviews or even the interrogations the investigator needs to have a positive attitude, sensitivity and be able to think clearly when it comes time to collect evidence at the scene of the crime. Once this evidence is collected, the investigator will need to carefully transport the evidence collected to labs where it will be examined by professional specialists (forensic pathologists, DNA specialist or a finger print technician). In a rape case, some evidence could be skin under the victim’s
If the only reason to pull someone over depends on his or her race, this causes a discriminatory impact. Police departments begun to review data on stops and change police officers behaviors, arguments and attitudes towards the leading of stereotype based discriminatory treatment. (Racial profiling, 2012) This researcher frowns much upon racial profiling but with surveys conducted every day on who is likely to commit a crime, and what age, and what sex, and what minority group then people tend to lean towards these surveys proving that race is a huge part of crime involvement. In conclusion, criminal profiling works as an investigative tool to help solve crimes. Criminal profiling has come a long way and still needs a lot of improvement.
The implication of proving that DTCs can better rehabilitate offenders than correctional facilities would revolutionize the judicial response to drug related crimes. A change in focus from incarceration to rehabilitation will improve the society and improve the effectiveness and reducing the load of the judicial system.
Because they have more time to become a larger and more skilled presence in communities, it will deter crime and will end up with more criminals being captured and brought to justice Another positive effect ID cards may have it that they will have the person’s fingerprints on them. This means that the police can stop people and immediately scan their card and cross-reference with the database to see if the fingerprints where linked to and unsolved crimes or cases. If people are given ID cards, it could solve many missing persons cases where the person has ran away from home. This is a positive effect because it means that missing family members can be found easier and returned safely to their homes. These can help to create a better relationship between the police and the local community because if this happens then people will be more confident in the police’s capabilities and people in their communities feeling safer and people will then become a helping hand for the police when it is needed.
The problem to define sexual deviance is one of the biggest diffusive problems in the literature that tries to classify it (Ward, Laws & Hudson, 2003). Different classification systems exist, but only two models will be reviewed. In the essay the Behavioral Thematic evaluation of Canter and the Massachusetts Treatment Center: Rape classification system revision 3 (MTC:R3) will be compared and contrasted as two models of sexual assault. Both models assume that sexual assault is rape that an adult man inflicts upon an
Crime Statistics “Crime statistics is an attempt to provide statistical measures of the crime in societies.” Unfortunately, because some crime is secretive, some unknown because they are never reported, therefore the results become very inaccurate. There are several ways on how these statistics are received, such as, hospital of insurance records, household surveys, and reports for several law enforcement agencies. Many countries gather their statistical crime information and it becomes of interest to international organizations such as, Interpol and the United Nations. Places like the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Home Office in England & Whales, are the agencies that publish these crime statistics and compile the statistics based on the different crimes that have been reported. Statistics are usually collected on based on three categories: Offenses, the breach of law; Offenders, those who commit the offenses; and the victims, the ones who are offended against.
The written law simply does not cover all aspects of behavior that police officers will encounter (Wortley, 2003). Discretionary power by police officers can be abused when their decisions are based and/ or reflected by a sexist or racial bias or stereotype. Women, for example, can not gain fair and equitable treatment if police base their decisions on the stereotype of appropriate female behavior during sexual assault investigations. This leads to police abusing their powers when they
In dealing with prostitution, governments around the world have adopted different legal approaches to the issue (“The Legal Status of Prostitution by Country”, 2010). In Canada and many other countries, a Catch-22 situation is created through partial legalization—where the act of prostitution (the consensual exchange of sexual services for financial gain) is legal but the solicitation and communication for the purposes of prostitution are illegal (Study, 1997). In other words, it is legal to engage in prostitution but it is virtually impossible to find customers legally. The spectrum of legal stances adopted ranges from full legalization (including government regulation) to full illegality. Position one contends that all acts of prostitution should be fully legalized while position two contends that all acts of prostitution should be illegal.
