As always, I am really excited to continue the ARSC400 class from last semester. I am quite happy to see that there is a reduction of discussion on the syllabus but I am quite upset as it motivates me to do my reading. I am happy to see that there are lessons that will help us understand better with risk management, officer/enlisted evaluation system etc. The one thing I would like to learn is understanding your first assignment and how to excell in it. I would like to make a very good first impression and have a fun time.

    As criminology majors, we must learn the inner workings of the court system as well as the crucial courtroom players. We have all watched series such as Law and Order, CSI, American Crime, etc., but they give us a false sense of what an actual courtroom setup looks like. Unlike these shows, there are various steps that must be taken before the defendant is prosecuted. There is the arrest, initial appearance, bail is set, either a grand jury or preliminary hearing is conducted, arraignment occurs, along with all pre-trial motions being heard before trial, a trial is then started, a sentence is given, and sometimes the defendant appeals the charge. In contrast, assembly line justice cases end at the arraignment phase since the defendant accepts a plea deal.…

    Ethical Issues that Surround Plea Bargains Introduction When our founding fathers included the sixth amendment into the Bill of Rights, never had they imagined a large number of defendants surrendering those rights of a fair trial for a non-trial procedure on the basis of minimizing punishment. Today, plea bringing has become the essence of the criminal justice system. As a result, it has transformed the judicial structure into a system of pleas rather than a system of trials. While many will argue that plea bargain are necessary, it cannot be disregarded that they stand on unethical grounds.…

    I agree that there need to be serious changes made to both the Adult Pre Trial Bail system and, more urgently, to the Juvenile Pre Trial Bail system. Detaining a juvenile, for an indefinite amount of time, while they await trial is uncivilized and unfair. Doing so punishes them for a crime prior to proving they have committed it. They are not innocent before they are proven guilty. What is more, there are many downsides to pre-trial detention; it is not cost effective, it increases the likelihood of the individual committing a crime in the future and returning to jail and it jeopardized the safety of a community.…

Through the short time of 5 weeks, I learned how to focus on my audience as well as how to define the purpose of my papers as academically as possible.…

    The right to counsel is something that a defendant should be allowed as our Sixth Amendment right states. Having this right, give the defendant their own choice as to who can represent them, when they are paying for it on their own accord.

However, that may have been the case before I entered Dr. Byrd’s domain, but after finishing the class I have come to the realization that English class can be greatly resourceful.
