Critical Justice Process Case Study

1) From Module One; the Critical Justice Process videos series describe what you learned and illustrate at least three topic points from any one of the series. In the Critical Justice Process series videos I learned a lot about how the process of being arrested works. Before I watched the videos I knew a little bit of the process but not exactly how everything worked. The first video on the process of arrest, I learned from one of the officers was that, “when we take someone into custody we don’t always advise them of their rights unless we need a confession out of them”. I also learned that there’s a few steps for a defendant to get a court date, before this video I thought that when a person is arrested they go and get booked, then see a

I never knew what justification meant in the law enforcement field until I watched the video along with I had no idea there were five types. Second was I briefly knew what an alibi was but the video where Neil Shouse who is an attorney explained what it takes to make a good alibi, he said, “ sometimes we present surveillance evidence, sometimes we present gas receipts”. He gives some examples of what works for a good alibi which I got to learn what types of evidence a person should have to have a good alibi. Last thing I learned was the difference is between procedural and factual defenses. Trent R.
