Criminal Justice Reflection
In junior year, I was fortunate enough to have an open elective course of Criminal Justice at my school. In class, I acquire a mass of information from my instructor who has retired from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, ATF. Although it was unfortunate that there weren’t enough students who signed up Criminal Justice II for the following year. I had to adjust my core classes in order to continue my criminal justice studies while meeting the requirement to receive an advance diploma and an IB Career Certificate. When I had to make a hard choice to drop orchestra, an elective music class that I have been taking since 5th grade. In order to have enough time to be part of the Criminal Justice II at Marshall High School Academy. The

    ENG 4C - Lesson 1: Journal Response

    In 2013 I decided to change my life around; I had gotten a job as a dishwasher/ prep cook and even went back to school for my grade 11 at Sir Robert Borden High School. At the time I thought I was just getting my life back on track but really I was slowly going back downhill towards the bad friends and drugs. (Note: I haven’t done any other drugs besides marijuana which I’m proud of) During the first semester I was searched exactly every day for 23 days in the first month of September because of my history in Holy Trinity, which was selling marijuana. The best part about it was that I didn’t bring that to school anymore and had been leaving it at home for my own personal use. I still yet had another problem on my hands; I would not attend my classes. I had missed almost every class in the first semester except for my first two weeks there.…

    Howard University Personal Statement

    Upon entering my freshman year of college I recognized I was not fully prepared for the rigorous academic scheme provided at my school, Howard University. One of the main observations was my peers received educational training in Advanced Placement General Chemistry, Advanced Placement Organic Chemistry and even had the opportunity to attend actual college courses during his/her high school careers. Those classes were not an option for me through my high school. Soon I found myself falling into a pit of failure. Long hours of studying and tutoring only produced D’s, F’s and an occasional C on my Chemistry reports. I was thoroughly ready to quit. I still remember sitting in my professor’s office in tears when he informed me that my academic…

    Reflective Essay For Sociology Class

    Academically, the school system has always provided me the tools so that I could learn, but outside the traditional high school classroom, there is a myriad of opportunities where knowledge can be obtained. The summer before my senior year in high school the opportunity to take classes at the University of Louisville was bequeathed upon me. My parents guided me into possibly taking core content material classes, for example, math or science. However, there was a wide range of classes in which I could partake in, but the ones which caught my attention were in the Sociology department. Although my parents were not thrilled with my decision of taking leisurely courses which were possibly not going to count towards my future major in college, I felt it was the intelligent decision.…

    Ethics In Criminal Justice

    Before we can talk about ethics in criminal justice and the slippery slope, we must first define what ethics is. Ethics is, “that branch of philosophy dealing with values relating to human conduct, with respect to the rightness and wrongness of certain actions” (Dictionary, n.d.). Having defined ethics how does it play out in criminal justice? It goes without saying that every department should have ethics training, and it should extend beyond just the field of criminal justice. It applies to everyone, and it is values that can help us make those tough decisions. Ethics are not always easy, and what is ethically right might not be the most famous decision a person can make. Without a department of ethical people, there is no telling the…

    Criminal Justice Reform

    “The first five Criminal Justice Acts of the century were spaced out over nearly 50 years, from 1925 to 1972, whereas the last five have come in less than 20 years since 1972 and the current Act is the third in only five years” (Davies, et al., 2010:29). There have been many important legislative changes affecting the criminal justice system since the 1990s. Many of these provided numerous reforms to sentencing, creating a systematic process. There are three legislative changes that could be considered the most significant to the criminal justice system today: the Criminal Justice Act 1991, the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, and the Criminal Justice Act 2003.…
