In the situation to be discussed Jack tried to kill Bert but instead killed Pratt. He then tried again to kill Bert but his weapon suffered a malfunction and he got into his car, put the gun in the glove compartment and disappeared from the scene. After reading the textbook, I understood that an attempt is a failure, according to Professor George Fletcher.

During slavery and the Jim Crow error, the justice system was beyond biased. I don’t believe that the justice system is racist today. If you're willing to do the crime than you're willing to do the time. Heather Mac Donald states,” a 1987 analysis of Georgia felony convictions, for example, found that blacks frequently received more lenient punishment.” Here it says that blacks get a longer sentence for the committed crime as too other races. In the last paragraph Heather Mac Donald says,” the evidence is clear: black prison rates result from crime, not racism.” The justice system looks at their offenses as well as criminal records. The longer your record, the longer your sentence.…

I have created a book containing laws and elements to certain crimes. Also, I have obtained experience interviewing a variety of people, including young children and special needs individuals. To conclude, I have observed and sat in a court hearing to get the opportunity to observe what the court system is all about. None of these opportunities would be possible without my Public Safety instructor and mentor Donald Hammond. Mr.Hammond has influenced me in a positive way.

One person comes to mind when I think of a person who has come from a typically described as “good” family background. As a child of three my mother made sure my two brothers and I had everything we needed. My mom always taught my brothers and me that you cannot truly appreciate something unless you have worked for it. My family consist of educated, hard-working, honest people. My place of residence was in satisfactory condition. I barley seen any gangs, fights, or robberies. Growing up I couldn’t even imagine a place full of crime and mischief; and I thought the same for my brother.…
