How Does Difference Matter
Dr. Greg Koehle
I have chosen the topic How Does Difference Matter. I will research and answer the questions as stated in our homework. Those questions are as follows.
1. Should wrongful and unlawful convictions continue to disproportionately affect some populations?
2. Can the criminal justice process continue to use difference to account for the unfair treatment of some population?
3. Why should difference in terms of the consequences of the criminal justice process fall more heavily on so-called "undocumented" immigrants?
I expect to find in the conclusion, of this paper if wrongful and/or unlawful convictions do affect some of the population, even certain populations and also if it could affect the whole population. I would assume that it would only effect the prison population and the population of people’s family’s population.
I would assume by the conclusion to this paper I would know if the law uses differences in unfair treatment of some of the population. I think that there should be no differences if their us unfair treatment per each person.
By the end of this paper I would assume that I would find out the answer to why the criminal justice process is so much harsher to the “undocumented” immigrants. I would hypothesis that this is because they are in our country with no documents and have committed a crime in which they illegally are living in.
How Does difference Matter - for and against topic
My topic that I have chosen in week one was “Making a difference “I will answer each question one by one and then give when I feel are the “for and against topics” to these questions.
Question 1 : Should wrongful and unlawful convictions continue to disproportionately affect some populations?
Answer for the topic: I think that no matter what we do there is always going to be unlawful convictions in this world. Sometimes it tends to affect certain populations more than others.
