The collection of DNA at time of arrest exists in 25 states, but the United States should adopt this rule in unison because it is cost effective, saves lives and conserves valuable time in the judicial system. There are some challenges that are faced while trying to adopt the use of DNA in criminal investigations. Some of these challenges include the Fourth Amendment, the use of a master database and the backlog of unprocessed samples. Although there are negatives that can be found in the introduction of these changes, it does not justify a rejection of those changes without an analysis of the positive effects that they may have. These delays may
The more precise codes will also result in accurate payment for new procedures, fewer rejected and fraudulent claims, better understanding of new procedures and improved disease management. A plethora of benefits will be gained as a result of ICD-10 implementation, but this will require significant business process & systems changes that capture and report these
Criminals especially those who are going through court proceedings may not feel comfortable disclosing certain information to someone they know to be a researcher. Typically most researchers are similar to police in characteristics, white and middle class, so acting covertly will most likely increase comfortability between the researcher and criminals, allowing more valid research to be acquired. Similarly judges and police may alter their behaviours if they know the researchers true identity in a bid to disguise any flaws in their practices and unjustified law enforcing. However, Positivists would argue that data collected by covert observations aren’t at all valid, they are biased as they are based off of the observer’s interpretations. This could be especially true in the case of researching court proceedings as it is unlikely many researchers have gone through one themselves.
When we have such a large population of people it really is impossible for just one system to function efficiently and effectively. Therefore it is important to understand that for any legal system to run properly in such a large and complex society it is then necessary to have a well co-ordinated, multi functional system. But as we can see within the legal system there is, in a lot of cases discretion used when implementing these laws. This then begins the
It is usually recommended that any career use honesty as a quality, but it is extremely important that criminal justice professionals have honesty as well. Law enforcement is occasionally known for being corrupt, and it is so important for our law enforcement officers to be truthful on all applications, reports, and everyday work. This provides for more efficient and trustworthy public servants. The most important reason for honesty is simply to ensure that the innocent stay that way and are not caught in the lies of the accusers. Criminal justice professionals play an important role in the court system, and if they lie on accusations and evidence, the innocent become victims of the dishonesty.

CEMEX ws also able to reduce their costs by incorporating new technology, which allowed them to maximize knowledge to everyone in the company, and allow operations to flow more smoothly. In addition, concentrating their focus on other countries can help ensure stable revenues, such that if their home country is experiencing a downturn in GDP, they can stabilize their sales in other countries experiencing GDP growth.

Many juries also don’t fully understand the legal system, which can be seen as a good thing because the accused is being judged by his peers, but it could also lead the jury to make an incorrect decision on whether the suspect is guilty or not guilty. Jurors can’t ask the witness any questions either, so they have to make a decision even if they
Disadvantages of using juries • May present bias or may be influenced by the media or their own personal beliefs when reaching a verdict, resulting in possibly an injustice for accused. • There may be people in the jury who do not take the case seriously and are not a good representative of society, leading to an unfair trial. Also excluding a majority of well educated people (especially legal professionals) may misrepresent society and alter the verdict of a case if uneducated people are deciding guilt or innocence. • Challenging a juror can be difficult as it is usually based on nothing more than their name and physical appearance. Another randomly selected person is brought in to replace the disqualified person, so it is a gamble when challenging jurors.
The prosecution, the judge and the defendant all benefit when defense counsel performs in the way the Constitution envisions. The broken public defense system in our State doesn't have to be like this. It can and must be fixed. As a result of these deficiencies, many individuals facing criminal charges are compelled to appear in court without a lawyer at critical junctures, such as when bail decisions are made. This often results in unnecessary or excessive bail being set and keeps people who cannot afford it in jail awaiting trial Many public defense lawyers also fail to: meet or consult with clients at critical stages in their cases; investigate the charges against their clients or hire experts who can assist with case preparation or testify at trial; file necessary pre-trial motions; and provide meaningful consultation before clients accept plea bargains, regardless of whether a charge is appropriate or a viable defense exists.
