The officer must cover the different elements of the case to include who, what, where, when, and the how.

After the Local Government election in September 2008, Manly Council established the Manly Harbour Foreshores & Coastline Management Committee in early 2009 to guide the preparation of a number of plans including the Manly Cove Coastal Zone Management Plan (CZMP). The first meeting of the Committee was held on 14 April 2009. Members of the Committee are:…
The A Team Utopia County Jail has been built and is almost ready for full operation, but there are a few details that remain and then there will be a press release to report the progress of the facility. Our task force is responsible for developing a conceptual and physical model of the facility. In this paper, we will discuss issues surrounding both models of the facility. For example, the conceptual model will describe the facilities features, where the facility will be located, what the facility will look like, levels of security in the facility, such as, low, minimum, medium and maximum security, how the design of the facility supports the prison’s functions and goals and the advantages and disadvantages of the prison’s design. The physical model of the facility will describe the physical design and how it is represented by a two-dimensional computer generated drawing or image.…
From the beginning this groups core philosophy revolved around belief that the white race was supreme, and should assert its dominance over all other races by whatever means necessary (Prison Offenders, 2009). This…
O.J. Simpson is a very powerful man that revolutionized the idea of a criminal trial. The well known former National Football League player and actor, was tried for the murder of his ex wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and waiter Ronald Lyle Goldman. The trial was broadcasted throughout the country and became part of people's lives. It lasted for almost a year, however on October 3, 1995, Simpson managed to walked out acquitted. To reach such results, Simpson took advantage of his juror's life experience; by making himself sound relatable, also, the prosecution was not well prepared and made several mistakes.…
I enjoy reading your post. Americans find type II errors disturbing but not as horrifying as type I errors. A type I error means that not only has an innocent person been sent to jail but the truly guilty person has gone free. In a sense, a type I error in a trial is twice as bad as a type II error. Needless to say, the American justice system puts a lot of emphasis on avoiding type I errors. This emphasis on avoiding type I errors, however, is not true in all cases where statistical hypothesis testing is done.…
The important source of correctional law according to my instructor she acknowledged that the bill of rights is very important basically that’s not only a source it’s a big one for our correction system throughout the United States (Bartollas, 2002). The prisoners from our system rights are strictly limited and rights that fall under the bill of rights in addition to the bill of rights must be important to them and restore to prisoners. And not all of them they keep contact to courts and due process of the law (Goldmeier, 2011). According to my instructor the main source of correctional law would be the internal grievance mechanism here are examples of grievances that is ordinary plus when inmates files grievance starting with they claim for an early release and did not receive it. They charge that the correction guard issue disciplinary ticket rudely. The complain regards to that the work or assignments were not right. The claims that offender was classified incorrect. The charges to property was lost and confiscated. Here is frequent corrective procedures create treacherous disturbances, disobey of orders, destroy property, possessing hazardous smuggled goods, and engage in sexual misbehavior. According to my instructor she stated the grievance procedure and the effects this goes with question one also member of grievance board is drawn from inside the prison, the offender can appeal the decision regards to appealing to private citizens on board correctional manager. The offender has the precise right to present evident and the witness plus the right to be present at hearing. The duty of grievance process would be develop a better prison management, decrease the offender irritation, and aid them in rehabilitation. Decease number of cases offenders takes toward court plus brings justice to prisons what in my opinion is make the prison safe free from harm’s way and show…
The article I found is most related to Chapter 4, “Diversion and Probation”, because it looks at how probation is a great way to help juvenile offenders get back on their feet. The article is about the positive changes that juvenile offenders in California have made due to an increase in probationary programs.…
Way too many innocent people have been put behind bars for absolutely doing nothing. Some people are just at the wrong places at the wrong time but others are framed. In this essay I will talk about a case that put an innocent man behind bars. Eyewitness Misidentification, bad lawyering and Government Misconduct all lead to his demise. These three things are reasons why an innocent person can end up behind bars for nothing. It bothers me because this could happen to anyone, to me, a family member, and even friends. These problems need to be fixed but I’m afraid they might not ever be. If I could change certain things the rate of wrongful convictions would drop tremendously.…
Every year in the United States of America, millions of crimes are committed that violate and harm the individual rights, properties, and freedoms that are not only guaranteed to American citizens of this country, but also naturally inherent to mankind as whole. Based on the founding principles of our country, which are derived from the Constitution of these United States, justice is dealt accordingly to the perpetrators of these crimes. While this justice is usually fair, due to certain rights given to those who may be charged with crimes, sometimes an error is made. A simple mistake, a missing or broken link in the chain that represents the investigation and trial processes, causes an innocent bystander to become caught up in an investigation, and in many cases, can result in a wrongful conviction. This mistake can come in many forms: a mistaken eyewitness identification, a false confession, misconduct of the governing authorities, improper forensic investigation, or even lazy or unskilled litigation by the defense attorneys. Legal miscarriage like this is not something that should be taken lightly, especially since those affected must not only endure the years spent in prison, but also deal with lost wages, isolation from friends and family, scrutiny from potential employers, and ostracization from their community. According to C. Ronald Huff, director of the Criminal Justice Research Center at Ohio State University, roughly 10,000 United States residents who are not guilty of a crime are convicted every year, a "conservative" estimate of 0.5% of the 1,993,880 index crimes used for his research that was completed in 1990 . Even more alarming are the 138 Death Row inmates who have been exonerated sine 1973 as a result of further DNA testing; while anywhere between a concrete group of 8 and another 31 "possible innocents" have been executed in the United States…
“The criminal justice system, like any system designed by human beings, clearly has its flaws” - Ben Whishaw. Case after case after case could prove this statement. The O.J. Simpson Trails, The State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman, the fictional Tom Robinson case from To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Case of Emmett Till are all examples of our flawed Justice system. So yes, our justice system is flawed.…
Some people believe the history of corrections shows a continuous movement toward more human treatment of prisoners as society in general has progressed. Do you agree? Why or why not?…
verdict will be handed down at that time. Based on what the crime is, what type of punishment…
The criminal justice system in England and Wales is formulated on the basis of some basic aims and targets. The main target of this system is to reduce the prevalence of crime and ensure the speedy trial of the culprits. The main steps involved in the criminal justice system include the policing, court trial and corrections (Davies, Croall and Tyrer 2005). The initial investigation and collection of evidence is carried out by police. After that, the suspect is presented in the court for trial and the adequate sentence and punishment is finalized. Correction involves the participation of culprits in different activities according to the terms and conditions of the punishment.…
A lot of research has been carried out in the area of wrongful convictions in the past few years, reflecting the increasing concern for authentic justice in the criminal justice system. Criminal procedure experts do not seem to have been involved in actual dialogue with criminologists in…
