There is a moral difference between Shelton’s killing of his attackers and that of his other victims. Darby and Ames caused personal harm to Shelton and thus gave him the moral right to try and prevent any other future pain that could be caused by these men, but the other victims were combatants in the war that Shelton waged against the “system”. When looking at Darby and Ames, Shelton takes a more utilitarian approach when dealing with their killings. The government “system” is supposed to punish those who are wrong. But in the trial of Darby and Ames, only Ames was punished severely while Darby was allowed to go free.
They lied about getting a warrant and in turn let a killer walk away from the situation with no punishment. Like I said previously if they would have used the ethics of virtue system they would have went about things in an honest manner and even though it might not have saved the life of Detective Griffiths it would have put his killer in jail. Ethics training for our officers is very important to maintain order (Papenfuhs,2011). However, when really spending some time and thinking about this situation I wish our legal system could in some way take into account the pressure we put on cops and when we know for an absolute fact a serious crime as been committed that the criminal could still be punished regardless of the mistakes of cops. I don’t think the people should be able to get off that easy simply because of a legal mishap and in fact disgusts me that his has happens numerous times every year.
It was suppose to be a place of humane but, unfortunately it end up being a place of * * physical punishment. This place is supposed to be healthy and clean environment. The Ideal of a * * penitentiary wasn’t supposed to be anything like a prison. Trying to keep all
The Giver is a utopian society, a perfect world as envisioned by its creators. It has eliminated fear, pain, hunger, illness, conflict, and hatred—all things that most people would like to eliminate in their own society. But in order to maintain the peace and order of their society, the citizens of the community in The Giver have to submit to strict rules governing their behavior, their relationships, and even their language. For example Jonas says “He knew that there was no quick comfort for emotions like those. They were deeper and they did not need to be told.
I think the primary goal should be incapacitation. Basically, no one really end up in prison on a first offense, unless it's a particularly big one. Most prisoners have many less severe priors on their record. They've demonstrated the willingness to victimize innocent folks again and again. For that, they need to be removed from society for the society's good.
has perfected crime and has sent a strong message to both the prison guards and law enforcement officers. A big percentage of the A.B. members have been put into solitary confinfindment. Authorities hoped that by separating A.B. members violence would conclude but that did not stop the brand.
By taking the time to answer his critics (or persecutors, as he is in prison) with patience, logic and intelligence, as opposed to retaliating, King was also able to justify his actions. Another important aspect to his letter was to show how disappointed he was with the Church. For example he said “In deep disappointment I have wept over the laxity of the church. There can be no deep disappointment where there in not deep love”. One of the best parts of this letter was that it was created out of political conflict.
Objectives of Punishment CJS/230 Introduction to Corrections Objectives of Punishment When it comes to punishment it does not have to be the result of a sentenced handed down. There are three objectives to punishment in the criminal justice system and they are rehabilitation, incapacitation, and deterrence. When it comes to how deterrence was supposed to work is it was designed to discourage a criminal from committing a crime in order to refrain from being sent to prison. The purpose of incapacitation was to remove the criminal from society in order to protect everyone. The purpose of rehabilitation was to assist in changing an individual during confinement to hopefully prevent that individual from committing any more crimes upon
I am begging you to get this information out to the public. If they so choose not to do anything with it that depends on the people, However I will rest easier knowing I’ve done as much as I could. “It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will” Only man has the power to change what they do not like about our government (Thoreau). Yet again, I am sitting in this prison on my own behalf. I am here because I wanted and still do want the people to have justice, I want the people to know.
Courts exist only to prosecute the criminals to the full extent of the law. One can be sentenced to jail time, pay a fines, probation and even humiliation in front of the public eye. These types of sentences are used to teach the criminal a lesson and to show them that committing any type of crime is against the law. Everyone must obey the criminal laws. That is why they were put into effect, because anyone that doesn’t obey them is punished to the full extent of the law.
