However, they also admit “mismanagement at multiple levels” and inflating the importance of some information gained through torture. Whether you agree with George W. Bush that torture is an effective way to protect your country or with Senator McCain who feels that torture does more harm than good, the facts of the report show that the CIA knowingly and I think purposely misled the public and the
So, I should argue that Jacoby uses too many his own feelings about the dissatisfaction of imprisonment, which makes his claim weak and not credible. For instance, Jacoby states that “the criminal is out of control.” Yes, it might be a strong and persuasive way to get reader’s attention or even agreement, but it is not impersonal, and it is the claim based on his complaint, dissatisfaction and anger. It is inappropriate that reader can only feel his anger and dissatisfaction about the imprisonment. After all, Jacoby thinks “the criminal is out of control” is not a well-known fact. If
These individuals were incarcerated due to improper interrogation techniques and/or the admission of their guilt as a result of coerced confessions, leading ultimately to their wrongful convictions. Even in a post-Miranda age, there remains a growing host of individuals who have been arrested and convicted essentially based upon their interrogator-induced “I did it,” statement as suspects, when no other physical and/or other credible evidence suggested their true guilt. (Leo, Ofshe,
One way to overcome this feeling of helplessness when they feel wronged is to get “even”. They may not have control over what the other person said or did to them but they have a feeling of control in the midst of their vengeful act, Another reason a person may do a violent vengeful act is to get attention when he feels disregarded or treated insignificantly. Many of these acts occur between people who know each other very well including intimate partners. The biggest theme throughout the story was revenge.
Most people do not realize that failure to report child abuse is just as bad, and sometimes even worse than child abuse itself. After this case, mandated reporters of physical and sexual child abuse will be held more accountable for filing reports. Child abuse comes in several forms. There’s the obvious physical abuse and neglect, and the less noticeable sexual, mental, and emotional abuse. Child abuse is more prevalent than we would like to think, so the role of a mandated reporter is crucial in stopping as many instaces of child abuse as possible.
Our team found that we did not agree with those professionals who chose to commit crimes. We felt that those in our examples had the means that they needed and were being greedy. These were not values that our team found to be important. Ethics will always be a greatly debated subject because there are so many grey areas and differing opinions on what values support those ethics. It is key to an organization to have a
He or she will also face problems when trying to obtain a job. For the reason that they don’t find jobs, he or she will tend to turn to criminal acts for financial gain which will often lead to reincarceration. In my opinion plea bargaining is not fair and it’s corrupt. Especially with people that are guilty and take the plea bargain they don’t received the proper correction. Likewise it is not fair for a person that is innocent and is pressured to plea bargain for the believe that he or she will most likely not be considered not guilty.
Another benefit would also be having a first- hand account of what an individual who could give testimony of what was seen or experienced. Basic human error, biased opinions, and emotions are some of the disadvantages to eyewitness testimonies. Another disadvantage is how line-ups are being conducted; but the worst disadvantage is the difficulty of witnesses trying to identify perpetrators from other ethnic groups or races. Our view and reliability on the criminal justice system is constantly in a state of change. To what extent will these changes reshape our government and laws?
In 1932, after aviator Charles Lindbergh's son was kidnapped, 200 or so stepped forward to plead guilty. Nowadays, DNA technology can prove or disprove a suspect's story, making it easier to spot a false confession. But even with modern technology, finding out a confession is a lie can take time. In the 1989 case of the Central Park jogger; a woman raped, beaten, and left for dead, within 48 hours five boys had been arrested. The boys were interrogated, confessed, and then sent to prison.
I want a government that will do whatever it takes to protect its people. I honestly do not understand why this opinion is so unpopular. It would not make us just as bad as the Saddam Hussein's and Osama Bin Laden's of the world. There is a big difference between torturing someone for say, being a homosexual, and torturing someone to protect innocent people's lives. It seems that either most Americans do not have the stomach for it or they seem to believe that sympathy for terrorists is somehow a moral virtue.
