According to Shachar (2011), distributive bargaining entails two or more individuals taking up specific positions at opposite ends, and later negotiating to meet at a proposed middle or common ground. Each side stands behind his/her own solution and offers it at the "negotiating…
of criminals getting off easy due to plea bargaining, to ban the practice of plea bargaining by prosecutors. This discretionary decision is based off of the opinion that criminals are being let off easy and not being properly punished through the process of plea bargaining. Nevertheless, this decision is not a decision that should be agreed with.

on the aforementioned statements in this week’s assignment, I agree with the second statement regarding plea bargaining being right and proper. Like any tool utilized to find a solution, or to compromise, plea bargaining can be abused. A majority of the time I feel that plea bargaining is a great tool that allows for a reduction in the number of trails that judges oversee (Plea Bargaining, 2009). Moreover, I believe that our justice system is flooded and congested with pending trials and lacks…
Bargaining has been a common occurrence in human behavior for millennia. The first systems of trade and currency relied on barter systems. Bargaining has especially been prevalent in modern Congress in the United States. Recently though, the power of bartering has faced significant obstacles.
