The Effects of Felony Convictions RaShawnda Anderson Kaplan University The Effects of Felony Convictions The effects of felony convictions are a very hot topic in America. This is because there are many Americans that commit crimes and are punished yet still deal with the effects for years to come. Felons are a part of society and should be treated as such especially if they are reformed. A person can commit a crime that results in a felony and twenty years later still suffer the harsh reality of certain privileges being taken away. Yes, an individual should be punished for their crimes but the effects of a felony conviction should not include or affect that person’s right to vote, finding employment, or the pursuance of a higher education.
Organized crime members will kill innocent people just as the street gangs do. When it comes to crime there is not a gentleman's code of conduct. The only difference between organized crime and a street gang is the fact that crimes within a criminal organization are often not publicized and are kept private. A street gang will often boast of killings and crimes to see that the gang is recognized and the members responsible are promoted within the ranks of the gang. Law enforcement must understand that they are already at disadvantage when it comes to combating organized crime.
If I had talked to the cops, nothing would have been wrong. Instead I ran, and I wasted the time of the cops when they could have been dealing with other serious things. I had the cops looking for me for around two hours, and they had no idea why I ran, so I am sure they were expecting the worst. I am lucky that the cops treated me the way they did. They had no idea who they were dealing with, but I imagine that they had to think it was someone dangerous because I ran.
Criminal Record can affect ones future in many ways, ways you wouldn’t even think of. I have done some research. If you are a convicted felon, it is sad to say that you will have great difficulty finding a job that will hire you. I mean, if you were the boss of a management, would you want a felon working for you? I wouldn’t.
They are just like us, but for what they have done to become a felon must have been hard for them to make a choice like that. People; don’t interact with them, because they have that view on them as being a murder. So Do you believe felons should
Further, because most hate-crime legislation puts added effort into prosecuting crimes against certain individuals or groups, what about the same crimes committed against someone who doesn't fit into one of those groups? Will the crime be prosecuted to the same extent? If not, you're making things worse for the majority, who are likely to feel underprotected. If the problem is that too many people (of any group) are being mugged, or assaulted, or their belongings vandalized, you should put more effort into prosecuting muggings, assaults, or vandalism. Not to protect any one group, but to protect all
The reason that they put this in the constitution was that they weren’t sure if the government would be correct so they put that in if the people we ever being oppressed then they had the right and the duty to overthrow said oppression and put in place the form of government that they saw fit. This is yet another reason why guns are not the problem they are simply a tool. All you here in the news is the negatives about guns, for example how many times have you woken up turned on the news and saw that there was a shooting last night. They don’t tell you that there a millions of Americans that didn’t shoot anybody last night. This is just another example of people putting the blame where it doesn’t belong.
The Theories as to why Crimes Happen There are many reasons behind an individual wanting to commit a crime. It could have something to do with, what happened in their past. They may also be in some type of financial turmoil or they want to do it just so they can get a high from it. Whatever the reason may be, we need to understand why these crimes happen. Many people believe that crimes are committed because people have mental issues, however that is not the case.
Definitions of Crime Defining crime is not as easy as one would perhaps think. Put your own definition of crime below: Most people would explain crime as being something that involves breaking the law. Criminologists have had a number of discussions as to where laws come from how do they become established? As with most academic areas there are a number of different view points. Most people would agree that behaviours that harm other people should be prohibited and therefore made criminal.
Death Penalty Should Not Be Abolished Criminals who are not afraid of being equally punished for their horrible crimes have murdered many people every year. Career criminals make it impossible for the average person to live their life without fear. Since most states have eliminated the death penalty murderers, dangerous criminals cannot be sentenced to the death penalty. The way the justice system works in some states is not fair compared to the other states that do have the death penalty. Therefore, the United States interprets the same human right differently depending on a location.
