    The article “No equal Justice” by David Cole did a good job presenting the differing views of law and policing by different communities. In the article, it describes the race and wealth divide when it comes to the police. While the race distrust is more well documented, the wealth divide is something that as mentioned in the article “less studied” (Cole,171). There is a clear of differences in percentages in the trust in police as stated,” When asked to rank police officers’ use of force, 31% percent of the wealthy but only 17% percent of the poor ranked the police as “excellent(Cole,171). I do wish the article went to more in depth with the economic divide in the perception of the police, as it really is an interesting aspect of the article.…

According to our authors plea- bargaining dispose of roughly 95 % of adjudicated criminal cases (Maguire, Tbls. 5.24.2008, 5.46.2006). Over my years of taking criminal justice course I have learned to so many innocent people actually plead guilty to crimes they did not commit. DNA evidence which lead to an exoneration is evidence of just that. Wrongful convictions produce out of our Plea Bargaining are much less likely to result in an exoneration due to the defendants own admittance.…

    For my second and final passport assignment, I decided to attend one of the events happening during American Indian Heritage Month, and watched an indigenous film at the Cline Library. The film was called Marathon For Justice by Brian Dermott. With it only being 44 minutes long, it discussed the journey for obtaining justice for the natives and their lands. Many hardships were faced throughout the way and protests were held when citizens didn’t get their ways. Their lands and resources were being polluted and something had to be done about it or else it would never be resolved.…

    Tom Tyler has led the way in researching procedural justice of counter terrorism among Muslims Tyler et al.(2010). There seems to be research lacking with procedural justice and police legitimacy for regular law enforcement among Arab-Americans. It may or may not be the same predictors that support cooperation of Arab-Americans to cooperate with traditional crime fighting and counter terrorism. Many immigrants from Arab countries like Lebanese in Australia are Muslim(Cherny and Murphy, 2013). The media have focused on relating Arab speaking people, especially Lebanese and Sudanese to Islamic terrorist groups (Al, 2007).…

In which, these flaws have created loopholes in the legal system to allow the local, state, and federal agencies to manipulate the people’s ‘due process and protection against self-incrimination’ during questioning of investigations by law enforcement agencies. In which, walks a fine line with these loopholes in the adversarial system to violate people’s Constitutional rights in the 21st century.…

    When it comes to the article "Flawed Humans, Flawed Justice” there are many valid points made. The first point that was made was how many people are incarcerated because, of their previous life experiences. Meanwhile, the next point that was made when people of the judicial system determine the outcome of one’s faith depending on the time of the day. Finally, how criminals or how someone is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty but how witness, labs, and police officer treat a suspect just because of their previous background.

    Archbishop Desmond Tutu expresses in the following simple yet elegant phrase the philosophies inherent in restorative justice, “…true reconciliation exposes the awfulness, the abuse, the hurt, and the truth…”. The frank exposure of emotional, physical and psychological injury may, however, adversely impact the victim(s) or alleged perpetrator in the short term. While restorative justice can be a risky undertaking, “only an honest confrontation with reality can bring real healing”. In the criminal justice system today in the United States, “real healing” seems to be a secondary principle; priority is given to proving the innocence or guilt of the accused in a trial conducted by a judge with the services of lawyers and the jury. The main stakeholders,…

    Wrongful convictions undermine the Criminal justice system and the procedural structure that is supposed to “uphold” and help deliver justice. Justice is a term that has many different definitions however within the Canadian Justice System, what is Justice?

    “He’d dreamed he was going through a grove of timber trees where a gentle drizzle was falling, and for an instant he was happy in his dream, but when awoke he felt completely spattered with bird shit” (3). “A gentle drizzle” is referring to the weather on the day of Santiago’s murder, “the weather was funereal, with a cloudy, low sky and the thick smell of still waters, and that at the moment of misfortune a thin drizzle was falling like the one Santiago Nasar had seen in his dream grove” (4). In these two quotes, we can really tell the difference in between dreams and reality. In your dreams, you are free to think what you want and to do things you would normally not do in society. It shows Santiago living a happy life when suddenly he gets murdered.…
