An order to have an efficient, fair system for all of the people who are behind bars, and the higher - up class, such as jurors, police, security guards, etc. We need to recapture what is right from wrong with central issue.

People are breaking laws, hating on the cops for what they see that they do that’s apart of their jobs, and of course holding a grudge on what one of police officers did or do. Police officers are paying close attention to the stereotypes that us humans have created. Which is causing fault to the officers

    In Jeff Jacoby's essay "Bring Back Flogging," he argues against the American public's acceptance of the current state of the criminal justice system by comparing its consequences to an alternative method of flogging. By employing irony throughout the whole essay, he builds up his argument to defend a seemingly outdated method of punishment—flogging—over imprisonment, encouraging the audience to find a reasonable solution to the violence and ineffectiveness of prisons. Jacoby's unfavorable word choices about ineffective punishments and brutality orient Americans towards adopting a cynical view of jails. Later, he presents budget data and odds of catching criminals, supporting his argument with two of Americans biggest concerns: safety and…

    Nils Christie wrote “Conflicts as Property” arguing the importance of conflicts in society and how they have become property that can be used and stolen. In this critical summary I will summarize and then critically analyze his work to determine if I agree with his argument. Christie opens the paper by arguing the importance of conflicts in our society and that “they ought to be used, and become useful, for those originally involved in the conflict.” He continues by describing how conflicts are taken from the victim, who “is so thoroughly represented that she or he of most of the proceedings is pushed completely out of the arena, reduced to the triggerer-off of the whole thing.” The author also denounces courts and lawyers that, he believes, are trained to steal, prevent, and solve conflicts.…

    The author of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, is clever because his introduction did its job well in informing readers that the judicial system in America needs to be reformed. He did this by using variety of different persuasive writing tools. Stevenson used three of the many persuasive tools; these tools were pathos, ethos, and logos. These were his secret to convincing the readers to be on his side of the argument. The use of pathos was presented through a story of a prisoner who was on death row, Henry; it was used to draw the readers in emotionally.…

    In Bryan Stevenson’s memoir, he explains how “the power of mercy…belongs to the undeserving. It’s when mercy is least expected that it’s most potent – strong enough to break the cycle of victimization and victimhood, retribution and suffering” (294). However, Stevenson isn’t just talking about mercy. Mercy plays a part with other prominent aspects of the book, most relating to problems in the justice system. These faults are what led Walter McMillian being put on death row for a crime he did not commit, which is the main storyline of the memoir.…

    Being a police officer comes with great responsibilities. They are expected to maintain law and order, protect the lives of citizens, reduce fear of crime and most importantly prevent crime. But in the past few years, it seems as if they’re the ones putting fellow citizens in fear. Police brutality isn’t a topic you frequently hear about, but the times we do it’s nothing short of a serious problem. I’m not sure if it’s to do with race or just about the law enforcement agencies believing they can abuse the power that is a privilege to them.…
