Jeff Jacoby, a columnist for the Boston Globe, in his essay, “Bring Back Flogging,” (Feb 20, 1997) argues that flogging should be brought back to replace the conventional method of the imprisonment of non-violent offenders since it is cheaper. Jacoby supports his argument by describing how prisoners only treat prison like a graduate school of criminal studies and they become even more ruthless, at the same time he also mentioned that flogging will be a better choice money wise. His purpose is to persuade the readers that flogging is a better capital punishment compared to imprisoning convicts. David Cole establishes an ironic and knowledgeable tone with his audience of people in superior position and the civilians. Even though I think flogging is humiliating and painful, it is clearly a much easier and cheaper way of locking up a criminal rather than putting them in prison, and that we should consider bringing it back for non-violent crimes.
Two Models/Criminal Process Ashley Lawrence CJA/364 June 8,2013 Mathew Taylor Two Models/Criminal Process Two models within the criminal justice system play very important roles. One may say that within the political world the two models may even conflict with each other. Crime control model may be more liberal focusing on society and crime, which as for due process is to focus more on a fair opportunity for the one that is accused and many see it as conservative. The 4th, 5th, 6th, and fourteenth amendment all play important roles within the due process model, and the criminal justice system, to make sure everyone is given a fare trial. Due process occurs when fare treatment is given throughout the judicial system.
Labeling a particular crime as special or different does not deter criminals from their true intention. If we place a "special" label on certain types of murder, rape or vandalism we are not preventing the hate that is the motive for such crimes. This is not the true goal of society. Helen Dodge makes a compelling argument to shun the members of such hateful communities in her article "Special Crimes Need Special Laws", when she says that the public should band together against such forces (Dodge 140). However, even she had to admit that these special laws won't deter the criminals who practice these violent acts.
“What Justice Means to Me” This paper will describe what justice means to me. This paper will also show how I strive to see that my definition of justice is served in my occupation. Justice is generally understood to mean what is fair, right, deserved, and appropriate (MCADSV, 2009). Justice is usually accomplished when the person charged of the crime is behind bars and the victim of the crime can feel that justice had been done. Justice is the concept of moral rightness based on rationality, natural law, fairness, law, equity, and ethics (Dictionary.com, 2009).

Consider what is meant by justice. Discuss whether English Law achieves or fails to achieve justice Justice is an entirely subjective concept, largely depending on political affiliation, and previous experience of the legal system. Similarly to law, there is a vast amount of documentation providing different definitions and different theories of justice but is best described as what one believes to be the fairest course of action for both parties. In order to achieve justice, countries institute a legal system of some sort. Sir John Salmond defined law as “a body of principles recognized and applied by the state in the administration of justice”.
Authoritarianism is something very common and very well used in police forces all over out nation, and even with in the police force itself. Each department wants to think they have more authority than others. Just like big cities like to think they know more, and are more experienced than smaller city police forces. In the way I see this affecting the officers of a force, is the way they think, and how far there ego can. This can sometimes lead to police brutality, and conflicts within police officers in each department.
