plotting to commit a crime. The accused are usually brought to court by someone who has exposed their criminal acts in exchange for immunity. Under a conspiracy charge, the defendant is sentenced for the total amount of drugs and crime involved in an operation, not for their own role in it, whether small or big. Even if Kerman were to expose all of the people in her operation, she still had to serve the minimum sentence. Federal judges are imposed to set sentences for drug crimes,…

well from help will have a much brighter future. For example, when budget cuts arise, the first programs to receive large cuts are crime prevention programs so crime fighting programs will not have to be cut (Cronkhite, 2013).

It seems that included in many people’s repertoire of television shows, cop shows are most definitely included. These television shows about law enforcement reinforce the public’s positive view of reality, but also create can stereotypes that result in strong but mostly uninformed opinions.

have created a close bond with their parents will not commit crimes because they don’t want their love ones to think less of them. In the other hand, individuals who are committing crimes are doing it because they were never able to bond close relationships with the correct individuals who would have imposed external controls.
