The media has been extremely instrumental in how society sees the criminal justice system. Due to evolution of technology cameras have become a vital tool to display law enforcement in the act doing their job. For example, on July 19, 2015 in Cincinnati Ohio during a retain stop of a vehicle for not having front license plate ended in the death of Ray Tensing. During the stop of the vehicle the officer asked Tensing for his license and attempted to open his door, Tensing grabbed his door and started his vehicle as if he was about to drive away, the officer drew his firearm and order Tensing twice to stop and fired one shot, which struck Tensing in the head killing him instantaneously. This shooting bought into question by the media the right

Nixon believed that Johnson focused too much on the social causes and not enough on punishment of those who committed crimes believing that men should be held accountable for their actions. He was urged to place this war on crime on the same plane as any crisis fought in the
St. Louis is a city that is becoming known for its poverty and rising crime rate. With 90 municipalities and counting, these counties are being led by a corrupted government and a shady police force that is more concerned with the cash in their wallets. For determined people like Nicole Bolden and Antonio Morgan, it’s no surprise that they wish for an escape from such a destructive cycle. Even though it would be ideal, city and town members should not live in the towns they work for. Due to built up tension, specifically between the police force and the citizens, it would be dangerous to have them live there. In case there are riots over what the police have done, or over a decision a judge makes that goes against how the majority is feeling, to protect these workers they should instead live away from their area of work.
It is important to include social and personal contexts when studying ethics because the social context analyzes the environment that we live in and the people we interact with. Personal context is important because it shows/represents our own sense of justice. Having our own beliefs and values shows and describes who we really are. (Braswell, 1991)

I feel that this case was somewhat representative of what was discussed in the textbook. The forensics aspects of this case were generally different from the impression of forensics I received from reading the textbook. Despite this fact, I feel that the investigative techniques of this case were similar to what was discussed in the textbook, as well as what has been discussed during lecture.

In today's class, we watched a set of 4 videos. This class response contains aspects of what I enjoyed from each case study. In the first video, I enjoyed how the entire community worked together for conservation, and made several sacrifices which would have served individual interest, in order to pick outcomes that are beneficial for collective good. Here, the community works alongside experts, providing the best of both worlds. In the second case, from Maharashtra, I liked how the villagers decided to combat the drought by digging a well, maintained by themselves. They use their own people and children, to plant in the hills and develop the ecosystem. I also liked how there was a song about the drought, reinforcing my interest in folk music lyrics.
There has been a matter at my school that I would like to make you aware of. This matter has several components that may need further attention from our litigation department. Smart Sue has complained about possible drugs intended for distribution both in her classmate’s, Risky Ralph, locker and in his car. This is the culmination of issues between Smart Sue and an afterhours religious group that Risky Ralph leads. After some investigation and applying the ruling from Donovan v Punxsutawney, I have determined that the religious group has not violated the separation of church and state laws which Smart Sue alleges they did. Their club is held after school and any religious materials they hand out occurs during lunch, which is a

The Sixth District Detectives Office responded to the scene to assist with the investigation.
Another query needs to be resolved is whether drug courts are positive reforms to the criminal justice system. According to Sasha Abramsky, a journalist and a senior fellow at Demos, problem-solving court has the ability to attract defendant to incarceration. She indicates, “mentally ill offenders who completed treatment through the city’s Behavioral Health Court were 55 percent less likely to be charged with a new violent offense than were their peers who had not been through the program” (Abramsky 33) which proves that problem solving courts' treatment and rehabilitation tend to improve defendant's mental and physical. Since the system is effective and works really well by reducing people entering the jail and prison, there are more and
The criminal justice system serves a couple of purposes, it allows investigating and punishing of anyone that is committing a crime also, it protects the citizens and tries to detour the public from criminal activity. What is a crime? It can be anything from illegal gambling to a very serious matter all together such as murder. Our elected representatives and congress make decisions about acts that can be punished by government. For all this to run smoothly there are a couple of objectives that the criminal justice system follows.
There are multiple issues the criminal justice system faces on a daily basis. One of the most recent issues the system faces is the outlook the public has on police officers. As you could imagine police and public relations are very important due to the fact that the police in all actuality work for the people. The police must preserve the rights of all individuals good and bad and without community relations it fosters mistrust, hostility, and ultimately produces anarchy. Unfortunately, in today’s world a police officer is not allowed to make any mistake and is expected to make the right decision in a split second life and death situation. Society views police officers as a
