Legislative Overcriminalization Analysis
I liked how you mentioned the connection regarding legislative overcriminalization, and the process for plea bargaining. I found John Oliver's clip rather amusing when he compared plea bargaining to the show, Law and Order, because I enjoy watching that show as well. Although his show appeared to be comedic, John made a lot of valid points when it came to mandatory minimums. I also agree with Austin's post regarding individuals most likely not having a clue to the severity of their crimes, but the prosecutor knows every loop hole and extent one can be tried for. I know that it's their job, but what happened to genuinely rehabilitating someone, and being proactive regarding someone's mental state and not being reactive after some commits a horrific crime?

    Summary Of Criminal Justice By Adam Foss

    The Adam Foss's video lecture was informative. I was impressed how his desire for prestige and power had changed because he realized that his decision as a young prosecutor could damage a person for life. However, I agree with him in his point of view that the Criminal Justice System needs to be reform by providing resources to help in understanding why and what gave the defendant the mindset to engage in criminal activities. Nevertheless, our prison system is not equipped to create a productive system because of its negative environment only just remake some of them into a career criminal. This is what I have seen and had many inmates to share with me during my assessment interview. Therefore, as Mr. Foss has stated if the Criminal Justice…

    Pros and Cons of Sentencing Guidelines and Mandatory Minimum Sentences

    Mandatory minimum sentences are another method that was designed to limit judicial discretion while maintaining a “get tough on crime” approach. Mandatory sentences are sentences where all people convicted of certain crimes will be punished equally with a set minimum prison term. I believe the intentions were good when these reforms went into place. I think the intended purpose was to get tough on crime, eliminate bias on the part of the judge, to make criminals think twice about breaking the law, and provide equal punishment to all criminals who commit the same crimes. Unfortunately these sentence guidelines do not allow a judge to take into consideration the first time offender, differentiate the deviance level of the offender, and it does not allow for the judge to tailor a punishment to each individual case. The “drug war” they were trying to control with these sentences has had a backfire effect. The drug lords they were trying to stop are not the ones being affected by the sentences; it is the nonviolent, low-level drug users who are overcrowding the prisons as a result of these sentences.…

    Wilbert Rideau Analysis

    This week I found the paper written by Wilbert Rideau most interesting to write about. Rideau wrote an essay arguing to convince us that the prison system does not work. The prison system was built and designed to house criminals who committed crimes for punishment, and to deter people for committing criminal acts. Rideau states, “Although prison is set in place to, ensure public safety it has minimal impact on crime, because the response is after the fact.” Rideau believes when criminals commit crimes they are in a desperate situations and their state of mind is distorted so they aren’t thinking of the consequences, or many criminals think they won’t get caught. Although the prison system is put in place to punish criminals, and correct their…

    Pros And Cons Of Plea Bargaining

    The question we are debating today is whether or not plea-bargaining undermines the Criminal justice system? The job of the Criminal justice system is to protect the citizens of the United States. How are we protecting them if we give criminals shorter sentences than they deserve? When we plea bargain we release more criminals back into the streets and put citizens of the United States' safety at risk. A plea bargain is an agreement in a criminal case in which a prosecutor and a defendant arrange to settle the case against the defendant. The United states department of justice's mission statement reads: To enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law; to ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic; to provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior; and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans. This statement is being undermined because not…

    Understanding Incarceration Disparities: Stage-Level Analysis

    On August 8th, 2013 United States Attorney General Eric Holder made history when he announced the nearing end of the mandatory minimum-era in federal sentencing policy in his speech to the American Bar Association in San Francisco. In his address Holder lamented the condition of the Federal Justice System, expressing concern over astronomical incarceration rates, lack of inmate rehabilitation, and discouraging recidivism rates. It was racial disparities in sentencing, however, which garnered the majority of Holder’s attention.…

    What Is Plea Bargaining Ethical?

    Using the fairness and justice decision-making process it made me decide that the use of plea bargaining was unethical; due to the fact that it was not fair that criminals who have committed unlawful acts like rape, robbery, and numerous horrendous crimes were given leniency just because they are acknowledging they executed the offense. Stating your guilty doesn’t mean they reflected upon their actions and are ready to start a new leaf. They have instigated the felony and it is only right that they get the full consequence of their atrocity. Furthermore, what’s worse is that because of the pressure and fear of being convicted, the innocent plead guilty and the immoral run free and continue to disrupt the peace of the community. In conclusion, there is no fairness and justice when there is plea bargaining.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Plea Bargaining

    A large issue is based around how offenders who commit horrible crimes do not end up being punished the way the victims and victim’s families feel they should be. In one of the most controversial Canadian cases, Karla Homolka made a plea deal, where she was sentenced to twelve years after assisting in the killings of three young girls. This case was difficult for the public to understand. In the beginning they viewed Homolka as a woman who had been beaten by her husband. However, after more information came out about the case, it became apparent that Homolka had more involvement in the murders than originally thought. Kilty and Frigon (2007) found that, “once the videotapes of the sexual assaults were found, acceptance of Homolka’s discourse of forced participation seemed to dissipate, and the re-construction of Homolka as dangerous and narcissistic ensued” (p.45). Outrage from the public followed, as it was described that Homolka was smiling and enjoying herself in the videos of the sexual assaults against the women. Conversely, court officials were found as saying that, “if the videotapes had been available at the time, Karla Homolka would have found herself in the prisoner’s box beside Paul Bernardo” (Kilty and Frigon, 2007, p. 55). Unfortunately these positions made no difference as the plea deal was already decided. This case creates bias towards plea-bargaining because it shows how unfair the system can be. Serial murder is described as a person who commits three or more killings over a period of time. Such as Homolka, though she received a lenient sentence compared to her counterpart, Paul Bernardo. Leniency, as shown in the Homolka case makes society uncomfortable with plea bargains because the feeling is that a person who commits a crime should do the appropriate sentence. However, Smith (1986) found…

    Legislative History Must Be Used

    When the wording of a statute is not clear and explicit, then it is difficult to know how a particular statute should be applied. Supreme Court Justice Scalia wrongly clams that legislative history should not be used when interpreting an ambiguous statute’s meaning. He is wrong to state that it is undemocratic to use legislative history because legislators, staffers, and lobbyists are all a part of the process of the creation of statutes. Legislators often intentionally write a statute ambiguously, so that a compromise can be reached. Therefore, judges should use the floor reports, presidential messages and committee reports when trying to interpret ambiguous statues. Additionally, Scalia states that those who are in favor of legislative history are trying to make legislative history the law. Legislative history is merely a tool to be used when interpreting ambiguous statutes. Scalia himself utilizes legislative history when dealing with ambiguous statutes as seen in Pierce V. Underwood and Green V. Bock. Ultimately, legislative history adds a great deal of value to judicial interpretation, so not using it, as Scalia suggests, would be a mistake.…

    The Role Of Plea Bargaining In The Criminal Justice System

    As Nataskie stated above, there is a place and a need for plea bargaining in our criminal justice system. Although it is true that plea bargaining gives a guilty person the opportunity to admit to their crime and accept the punishment for it, they are likely more motivated by the fact that plea bargaining involves the perpetrator receiving a reduced sentence of some sort. Another reason for continuing with plea bargaining, as a tool in the criminal justice system, is because often it affords the prosecutor the means necessary to get a lesser criminal to testify against a more significant criminal who otherwise might go free. Plea bargaining should maintain an active role in all justice systems regardless of whether they are local, state,…

    Case Against Mandatory Minimum Sentencing

    If I were a legislature and wanted to propose laws that would abolish the mandatory minimum sentencing, I would focus on evidence that suggests these statutes are the root cause for overcrowding and financial burdens to government budgets (Schmalleger & Smykla, n.d.). Because every state in the union has been affected by mandatory minimum sentencing, I would also capitalize on the trends of other states releasing prisoners’ early and abolishing similar sentencing laws (Schmalleger & Smykla, n.d.).…

    Plea Bargaining Argumentative Analysis

    Plea bargaining is being scrutinized and criticized for a variety of reasons. Many believe that plea bargaining is fair as it gives a possible offender the ability to negotiate a less severe sentence. If the offender is in fact innocent all he has to do is go trial and prove it and he will be released. However plea bargaining has contributed to the imprisoning of innocent individuals. The prosecutor also has an unfair advantage over the defense thus making plea bargaining an unfair practice. These reasons are why plea bargaining is a negative practice and should be changed.…

    Plea Bargaining In The Criminal Justice System

    I do believe that there are instances where plea bargaining can be an effective tool in the criminal justice system, however, as it stands, the overuse of the plea bargain by prosecutors has diminished it’s potential worth as a true bargaining tool by their flagrant daily misuse. While it is understood that the case load for the courts is overwhelmed and an alternative method of securing some form of justice is needed to alleviate the overrun system, the use of the plea bargain to alleviate the overcrowded courts is not completely acceptable.…

    How To Reduce Prison Overcrowding

    Prisons are already filled beyond maximum capacity, and we continue to keep incarcerating more people. What can be done to end the problem of prison overcrowding and maintain the safety of the public? I chose this topic because I wanted to shine a light on what I consider to be an injustice. I believe that the criminal justice system needs a complete overhaul. When I chose this topic, I wasn’t fully aware of the mandatory sentencing guidelines or how harsh they were. I always believed that judges had more leeway in deciding sentencing. Originally, I hadn’t even considered the possibility of criminal corporal punishment, because I believed it was cruel and something that other less civilized countries would do, not America. I believe that the prison overcrowding problem can be resolved by changing our laws regarding nonviolent offenders, abolishing the mandatory sentencing guidelines and using alternative solutions that do not involve incarceration.…
