Introduction Today’s criminal justice system is made up of many processes that work together in removing criminals from our streets and rehabilitating individuals to be functioning members of society. Though our current system has shown success in many areas there are still many ways that it could be improved. Through Brandon Bledsoe’s case progression, the strongest and weakest links in our criminal justice system will be highlighted.
(Latessa & Smith, 2011) When the probation officer's view of the probationer's or parolee's conduct differs in this fundamental way from the latter's view, due process requires that the difference is resolved before revocation becomes final. (Justia, n. d.) "The Court concluded that counsel must be provided an indigent at sentencing even when it is accomplished as part of a subsequent probation revocation proceeding" (Justia, n.d., n. p.). The District Court held that revocation without a hearing and counsel was a denial of due process.
Azcourts.gov Arizona Judicial Branch" (2017), “Evidence-based practice (EBP) - means strategies that have been shown through current, scientific research to lead to a reduction in recidivism. EBP is a body of research done through meta-analysis (a study of studies) that has provided tools and techniques that have been proven to be effective at reducing recidivism. These tools and techniques allow probation officers to determine risk and criminogenic characteristics of probationers and place them in appropriate supervision levels and programs. There are eight evidence-based principles for effective offender interventions” (Evidence Based Practice). I may make recommendations for consequences based upon a juvenile’s adjudication.

My rhetorical situation for this argument is to bring to light the corruption of the Michigan Judicial system, focused more on Sobriety Court. My audience is directed towards students and instructors at NMC. My stance is that the Sobriety Court system needs to be more supportive to their partakers. My context is derived from a personal experience with my topic.
(NADCP, n.d.) Drug Courts were created to provide an alternative for non-violent drug offense in order for the courts to reduce substance abuse through rehabilitation and future recidivism possibilities through probation monitoring efforts and treatment facilities and other therapeutic services. Drug courts specialize in specific issues to reach goals of non-violent drug offenders through screening and assessments to evaluate the risk, treatment, and how the offender will respond to the efforts. Drug courts also employ the efforts of monitoring and drug testing through probation, as well as outpatient and
Diversion programs have become a prevalent form of justice in the Criminal Justice System. Diversion can be two things; diversion from jail or diversion from the legal system completely. Diversionary programs have been developed in the Criminal Justice System throughout its many levels for a multitude of reasons. Often, they are spurred on by practical concerns including, but not limited to, over-crowded prisons, the high cost of the criminal process, and as an alternative approach to dealing with those suffering from mental illnesses. Diversion may occur both before and after a trial and are aimed at avoiding the trial process (pre-trial) and incarceration (post-trial).
Brian Short v. State of Florida The main issue in this case is whether the State of Florida violated procedural due process by depriving individuals of their basic constitutional rights by not allowing marriage of shorted individuals. This is a due process case. Due process is covered in the 14th Amendment Section 1.
The relationship between “vagueness” and the due process clause is that the vagueness doctrine is rooted in the due process clauses of both the Fifth and fourteenth Amendments. More specifically, fair notice must be given in relation to what is punishable and what is not, the vagueness doctrine also aids in the prevention of subjective enforcement of the laws ("Vagueness doctrine", n.d.). If there is a constitutional issue in terms vagueness then the void of vagueness doctrine refers to the wording associated with certain statutes that are challenged based on their lack of indistinguishable significance. Simply meaning, certain wording may be unclear and/or indefinite in statues of what exactly may be criminal behavior. In the case of Papachristou
According to the Bill of Rights Institute the Fifth Amendment gives a criminal defendant the right to not testify at trail and this stops the prosecutor, the judge and even the defendant’s lawyer can’t force the defendant to take the witness stand against their will. The Fifth Amendment states that no one maybe deprived of life, liberty or property without “due process of law” and there is two types of due process which are procedural which is fairness and substantive. According to the Fifth Amendment it protects a criminal defendant from double jeopardy and the reason’s are that it’s to prevent the government from using it’s superior resources so it would wear down and convict an innocent person. It also protects individuals from the financial,

Overview: The purpose of the Executive Summary, The Multi-Site Adult Drug Court Evaluation: Executive Summary (Rossman, Roman, Zweig, Rempel, Lindquist, 2011), was to show how Urban Institute’s Justice Policy Center (UI-JCP), RTI International (RTI) and Center for Court Innovation (CCI) conducted research on how drug courts impact the overall crimes related to drugs. The main issue being explored is how well the drug courts are doing to help lower crime revolving around the drug epidemic. This issue is significant to criminal justice because it shows that the United States has a serious drug dilemma that started in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s that has to be combated by government and law enforcement agencies. This includes the issue you of whether or not drug courts are actually helping reduce crime.
Throughout the cycle there were a lot of concepts that was easy to get the hang of and understand completely. The concept about ethics and ethical dilemmas was easy for me to learn because it was a topic that was thought since last year. Last year was the first time we ever started to talk about the ethics and ethical dilemmas that law enforcements go through. Even before that though ethics was a topic that was taught at birth. It is something that people grow up around, so it wasn’t hard for me to get the hang of what was being taught.
Going back to the 1790’s the Federal Government have provided the accused with protection. Even though they are being charged with a crime including felony crime this does not give the system the right to do the accused any kind of way. Therefore, the Bill of Rights protects the accused from unfair and unjust treatment. This paper went over some brief history regarding the Bill of Rights and how the 6th Amendment is what it is today, reviewed the meaning and purpose of the 6th Amendment to a speedy trail, as well as discussed the considerations to whether a trail has been
In the formal criminal justice process, there are important decision makers that decide whether to keep the offender in the system or dismiss the suspect with no future consequences. Suppose a law was set in place
