April Smolkowicz Professor Hicks Criminal Procedure 3700 June 14, 2015 Law and Disorder Assignment #2 A story about the New Orleans Police Department, (NOPD) after Hurricane Katrina, and their unethical use of lethal force against citizens. An investigative look into the NOPD cover-up, conflicting information, questionable police reports and activities, knowingly altering, concealing and conspiring. At one point the city was covered in water, no electricity, no radio for back-up, no way of communication unprepared for the storm that hit, they lost command and complete control of the police department. Suspicious deaths, premeditated homicide?
After some time, most courts have taken the stance that the juvenile record of an individual can be thought about by a judge while considering a proper punishment for a now adult offender. “When, however, a juvenile offender appears in court again as an adult, his juvenile offense record may be considered in imposing sentence” (Elrod & Ryder,
This showed that many individuals plan to recidivate and believe that is almost impossible not to violate their probation conditions. Thursday, I attended Juvenile Hearings. Unlike Superior Court, public defenders who
Better decision-making by prosecutors involves exercising prosecutorial discretion in favor of adolescent rehabilitation. Whether to transfer an adolescent often rests on the prosecutor in most states, however, the lack of specific standards guiding prosecutors in their discretion makes the transfer process susceptible to abuse, ultimately influencing the disparity. Nonetheless departing from traditional rehabilitative goals, transferring adolescents into the adult criminal justice system has proved unsuccessful with unintended consequences. As such, offering alternatives in lieu of incarceration may yield a more positive outcome for rehabilitation and towards reducing the disparity by diversion and community-based alternatives. Holding adolescent
The quote from the beginning of "Witness for the Prosecution" that says, "Life is full of coincidences," definitely pertains to my life because many coincidences have happened in my life. One day, my family had a party for my aunt 's birthday. When it was time to leave, it was only about 3:30, so my parents decided that they should go shopping at the mall before heading home. While we were at the mall, we saw my aunt and uncle shopping there as well, and we had just seen them earlier at the birthday party. We thought that it was such a coincidence that we would end up meeting again, and we ended up shopping together.
Discuss and describe the process in which juvenile cases can be transferred to adult courts. Transfers, waivers, and certifications are all a formal procedures of moving a juvenile to adult court for trial instead of allowing them to remain in juvenile court. By moving a juvenile to adult court, it is then possible for harsher punishments to be imposed, for just deserts and severe punishments for violent offenders, fairness in administering punishments suitable because of one’s actions, a deterrent to decrease juvenile violence, less leniency compared to the juvenile court system, and a way for juveniles to accept responsibility for their actions. The process of transferring juvenile cases to adult courts is done through several different

For this assignment, the discussion will be about defining the roles and responsibilities of the juvenile justice system, defense attorney, prosecutor, judge, probation officer, nonjudicial personnel, and summarize the role of the court appointed special advocate (CASA). 1999 National Report Series (1999) states that the juvenile system was founded on the concept of rehabilitation through individualized justice. The focus would be on offenders not offenses, on rehabilitation and not punishment. With that said the juvenile justice system, along with the states, and the affected communities have tried to strike a balance. Many states have added to the clauses of their juvenile codes phrases such as: hold juveniles accountable for criminal behavior;
During the early stages of the criminal justice system, policymakers realized that children who are involved in delinquency, tend to mature and become productive members of society. To aid these individuals in their rehabilitation, it is important that their past transgressions remain in the past. The concept of expungement is the “removal of a conviction from a person’s criminal record”(Kessler, 2015,p.409). The term of expungement does not mean that the records are destroyed. The records are not completely removed they are still used for law enforcement purposes.
For over a century, states have recognized adults and children, whom have committed crimes, separate from each other. Children are referred to as their own “class” that are less blameworthy and have a greater capacity to change, contrary to adults. To acknowledge these differences, states have established a separate court system for juveniles enclosing a separate, youth-based delivery system. The idea of a separate justice system for the youth is just over a 100 years old. Early in United States history, the law was principally influenced by the common law of England.
In an article called “Teen Court- Is it an Effective Alternative to Traditional Sanctions” which was published in the Journal for Juvenile Justice and Detention Services evaluated in detail the effectiveness of the teen courts and the results they were having. In 1992 Kentucky aimed at establishing teen courts as a Law Related education program which according to the Global Youth justice website “is designed to equip non-lawyers with knowledge and skills pertaining to the law, the legal process, the legal system, and the fundamental principles and values on which these are based.” By 1996 there was a need for a formal guide for the establishment of teen courts in an area so The American Probation and Parole Association developed and published an article called “ Peer Justice and Youth Empowerment: An Implementation Guide for Teen Court Programs.” The article stated the foundation guidelines on developing, implementing and enhancing the teen court
Every now and then, adolescents move off the straight and narrow path of prosperity; leading them to run against the law instead of with it. It is important to help these children get back on the right track, and start moving towards a more productive life. This is the main goal of juvenile probation in the United States. The juvenile probation system has developed with the evolution of the juvenile justice and court system in America; as a way to separate young lawbreakers from adult criminals. As some sort of feedback to the harshness of the criminal law system during the 1800s was the effort to keep young lawbreakers out of institutions.
According to Rebore (…), “a tort is a civil wrong, other than a breach or conduct committed against a person or a person’s property” (p. ). The school was examined from the point of view of anomalies that could cause injuries and harm that could result in an action for a tort. The purpose of this assessment is to observe and document areas at a particular school as acceptable or need for improvement within the framework of federal and state law. The Tort Walk showed that the following arenas: classrooms, hallways, playground, lunchroom, before school, after school activities, field trips, bus/transportation, science class, physical education class, and art labs were ranged in an acceptable category. Permission to complete the tort walk at a
