What Is The Unconstitutional Sentencing Of Life For Minors
The topic I choose is the unconstitutional sentencing of life for minors. I think of it as

violation of human rights. If a young adult is charged with murder they are possibly sentenced to

death which would be unconstitutional. If there is a way to accommodate it would be giving a

felon life with a chance of probation. In this situation I would disagree with this topic.

    Who Is Greg Ousley's Tragic Juvenile Parricide?

    Often times it is easier to neglect the inevitability of death, but there is no neglecting the further rebuked notion of murder. The world is quite familiar with this utmost evil and shows no tolerance, but when it comes to the instance of a child who has committed the same crime, the rationale of justice is flipped on its head. There are many conflicts to be raised by two major viewpoints. Those who believe that adolescents deserve mandatory life in prison are understandably hurt and angered by their losses, but they disregard the sheer weight of certain particulars. When a juvenile is convicted of such an act, their age and environment in which they were raised prove to be reasonable mitigation for their horrid conducts.…

    Children Deserve Life Sentences Summary

    In the article by Gail Garinger, “Juveniles Don’t Deserve Life Sentences,” the author talks about how children are too young to be put in prison for life. The only place in the world that sentences juveniles to life is the United States, with 79 adolescents that were sentenced to die in prison. Some argue that even though they are children, they still have commited the crime. Others argue that children are biologically different from adults.The author states that if…

    Women's Suffrage: Creation of the 19th Amendment

    My topic of choice is the background behind the 19TH Amendment of the United States. Voting is important in the United States because its shows that we’re a part of a movement that allows us to vote for whose best for running our country. Well what if you were denied this right not because of your race, but your gender? Women were denied the right to vote for years because men felt that they weren’t an important part of decision making in America. They believed we were already busy with raising children, taking care of the home, and “serving” our husbands, that we shouldn’t have to deal with the pressure of voting.…

    Pros And Cons Of Militarization Of Policing

    I have chosen the topic of militarization of police. This is the process of training local law enforcement officers how to respond to situations that everyday police officers would not know how to handle. It requires military equipment and techniques. The stakeholders in this issue include the manufactures of military equipment, the SWAT teams, local law enforcement officers, the citizens where the SWAT teams serve, the military, the government, the ACLU, and the groups who are rioting or otherwise being controlled by a SWAT team. I think important ethical considerations would include profit, motivation, and fairly weighing the pros and cons of having a militarized police force.…

    Why Do Juveniles Deserve Life Sentencing

    Everyone has the right to a second chance , a chance to make changes , a chance to learn from every mistake that is or was made. In article “Juveniles Don't deserve life sentences” by Gail Garinger postulates , “An overwhelming majority of young offenders grow out of crime.”. Most of the juveniles that make heinous as they grow up, they grow out of the mentality that they had once the crime was committed. Why not give them a chance to show that they have mature and that there mentality isn't the same?. Also Gail Garinger believes that “...it is impossible at that time of sentencing for mental health professionals to predict which youngster will fall within that majority and grow up to be productive, law-abiding citizens and which will…

    Homosexuality In Black America

    The topic that I picked is homosexuality in black America. "Homosexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender." In black America being homosexual as an African American man you are faced with alot of risk factors. You are unequally effected by HIV, "Black churches may be a source of stigma which can exacerbate HIV risk and contribute to negative health and physological behavior." For centuries the church has been at the center of the black community. During times of struggle, African Americans tend to fall back on the doctrine that was given to us many years ago. While still illiterate, people of color were taught to blindly have faith in God. This created a natural connection and…

    Life Without Parole For Minors

    Life Without Parole For Minors

    Before 1980, life without parole was very rarely imposed on children. In today’s society we are consumed with the idea of keeping everyone safe; this has led to a high incarceration rate, especially with minors. In America, currently 2,225 minors are sentenced to life without parole before they turn eighteen. The criminal justice system works on a three strike system, which means you have three minor offenses before you go to jail. Also with the strikes, you are judged on if your crime was of passion or pre-meditated. In the past the issue in judging each situation was that sometimes “children” or minors were charged as adults, due to mandatory minimum sentencing. This is no longer the issue because in 2012, the Supreme Court case (Miller v. Alabama) found mandatory minimum sentencing unconstitutional under the 8th amendment, (which bans cruel and unusual punishments). The problem now is what the Supreme Court forgot to address in there ruling; does this ruling apply to the roughly three hundred adults serving life without parole that were sentenced as juveniles. Adolfo Davis is the leading case that is addressing…

    Juveniles Ban On Cruel And Unusual Punishment

    The Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty is not a violation of the Eight Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The death penalty is when a convicted criminal is put to death by the court. The execution method may not inflict unnecessary pain on the criminal. The criminal sentenced to death can wait several years or sometimes decades on death row before being executed.…
