The goal is to punish or rehabilitate an individual while ensuring the safety of the general public. Offenders who have served a portion of their imprisonment can be freed and placed on parole. An officer will also supervise an individual on parole and failure to comply with conditions of parole will result in a return to prison (Schmalleger,
You could find yourself getting into trouble with the police if you carry out an arrest that is incorrect. In order to make a citizen’s arrest, they must come under any of the three sets of guidelines, these are: * arrest for an 'indictable offence' under PACE * arrest of a person’s committing, or about to commit, a Breach of the Peace under common law * Use of reasonable force to prevent crime or arrest offenders or persons unlawfully at large under the Criminal Law Act 1967. A citizen’s arrest is still a really important law in the UK as these powers of arrest belong to Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). There are lots of differences between a citizen’s arrest and a police arrest... 1. If you believe a crime is about to be committed, you cannot make a citizen’s arrest; only if there has or is a crime being committed.
Criminal Justice System Paper The criminal justice system contains three components to criminal justice structure (Schmalleger, 2011, pg 17). The components are; The Police, Courts, and Correctional Agencies. The police implement the law to apprehend offenders to maintain public order and safety for everybody. Law enforcement are responsible for finding, capturing individuals who break the law set forth by the state, local, federal law to bring charges against the perpetrator and ensuring the cases are strong enough to make to the courts (cliffsnote). Once the criminal gets arrested, the individual get book which he or she will be taking a picture and finger print to keep on file and will have the information of the individual that has been charge.
Bail and Powers of Arrest In this part of assignment I will write about the police powers to grand bail, as well I will assess why the police have the powers to grand bail and at the end I will evaluate the police powers of arrest, warrant, detention and search. Bail is the term used when the person is under suspicion or has been charged with a criminal offence but is released from the custody until he or she next appears in court or police station. Once the person did any kind of offence, police have the power to arrest the person and take it in to the custody. Once the person into the custody, he or she will be taken to the questioner by the police officer or investigator. After the questioner the police officer will have to build a case with the evidences gathered and send a case with the evidences to CPS (Crown Prosecution Services).
D. Rehabilitation Many youth receive rehabilitative services to become productive upon release. Rehabilitation is defined as the restoration of someone to a useful place in society. The end result is to not return to crime. Analysis The family situation has been shown to have an impact on whether a juvenile is likely to offend. Peer influence has also been identified as an important factor for juvenile offenders.
The criminal justice process begins when an officer informs a person that they are under arrest. An arrest is when a person is taken into police custody, and is no longer free to move about as they please. Handcuffs and physical restraint are not necessarily used, but as a precaution, officers usually utilize handcuff’s to prevent the escape of a suspect. The key to an arrest is the ability of officers to exercise authority over an individual, and that person’s submission whether voluntary or involuntary. An arrest is called a custodial arrest and defined as an officer taking into custody a person pending criminal charges, and the individual’s right of locomotion is restricted.

Week 2 Candice S. Brooks Instructor: Dr. Nwokoji 4007676 American Public University System CMRJ531 June 16, 2013 The profession of criminal profiling/ offender profiling is defined as a series of investigative techniques used to assess the characteristics of an unknown criminal offender (Devery, 2010). Criminal profiling is based upon the premise that a criminal’s personality and mannerisms actually dictate their daily behaviour as well as their criminal actions. After crime scene evidence is evaluated, the criminal profiler pieces together the information that is known from past criminal acts to include personality traits and behaviours of other criminals who have committed similar acts. The profiler can actually construct a profile by using a description of the characteristics in the suspect. These practices often lead to locating suspects, yet they are still often scrutinized in the media and cause a great deal of controversy.
Theories on Crime Comparison Carl Boone AJS/542 July 25th 2013 Jeffrey Begley Theories on Crime Comparison To understand crime and the elements that help compare and contrast motives, influences, and patterns of criminal behavior; theories are developed under models of thought. This process is called criminology and it is the study of crime and criminal behavior with some focus on lawmaking as well (McShane, Williams, 2010). Criminology has continued to be one of the cornerstones of our judicial system. The scientific research that goes into understanding individuals and societies, along with the variables involved, help the criminal justice system better understand issues that relate to crime. Criminology was first born in the eighteenth century and although it was not initially concerned with the aspect of understanding crime and criminal behavior, “it gained its association with criminology through its focus on lawmaking” (McShane & Williams 2010, ch.2, p. 15).
Law Enforcement Danna Robbins CRJ 201: Introduction to Criminal Justice Dawn Aldrich 05/06/2013 Law Enforcement Law enforcement broadly refers to any system by which some members of society act in an organized manner to promote adherence to the law by discovering and punishing persons who violate the rules governing that society. It is most frequently referred to those who directly engage in patrols and surveillance to dissuade and discover criminal activity and those who investigate crimes and apprehend offenders. The public view of policing is police officers patrolling streets and responding to emergency crime calls; police detectives interviewing witnesses, examining forensic clues, checking records and interrogating suspects;
