Parole

With regards to the question I believe that the death penalty is an effective deterrent. The death penalty has always been a topic that is debated thoroughly. The main theory is if the death penalty was favoured by a country is that it would dissuade people from carrying violent crimes if they will face the ultimate punishment and they know everyone is treated the same so they would go through the pain they caused to other people. Statistics had clearly proven this because in the UK between…

The forces that led to the development of the Age of Enlightenment and the Classical School of Criminology was a group that formed a literary society named “L’Accademia de pugni” (Academy of Fists). Cesare Beccaria was a member of this group and a well versed mathematically and initially he focused on economic concerns but later expanded to crimes and punishment. The Academy of Fists group helped Beccaria write his essay “On Crimes and Punishments” Cesare Beccaria essay influenced many and…

probationer and parolee. In the beginning I did question why was there so many probationer and parolee in the community and not in prisons or jails? After reading the textbook and many thoughtful discussions with fellow classmates, I learned that parole and probation serve as “release valve for overcrowded prisons”. I did not fully realize of the different types of community supervision an individual may be eligible for (i.e. diversion, pretrial intervention, and conditional release). The…

juvenile who commits a criminal. Community can help augment alternatives to incarceration.

Review about the movie:- The Shawshank Redemption (1994) is an amazing and impressive piece of film-making from director Frank Darabont who adapted horror master Stephen King's 1982 novella Rita Hayworth. It is a film of hope, where director explains it beautifully how “Hope is a good thing”. Movie shows the ugly realities on life of Prison and its day to day life. There is a lot of scope of learning during free time in prison whether it is art or literature. The film portrays the story of Andy…

Being a teen its hard and one dumb mistake or one laps of judgment could land them face to face with a un fair trial which could end up landing them in prison for life without parole.

not worse than the criminal who actually commits a crime that is “death penalty worthy”. “Some of the states that most avidly execute prisoners, such as Texas and Oklahoma, have higher crime rates than states that offer only life in prison without parole” (“Saving Lives and Money”). That does not really seem like it is deterring crime. If the death penalty is all about making crime lower, why would the crime rate in the places with the most capital punishment executions have some of the highest…

had the police knock on our door asking if we had seen the man from across the street, he proceeds to tell us that the man had been convicted of child molestation, and now he had been put out on parole. The man had sexually molested 5 other children since being let out the first time, breaking his parole regulations. Our family was shocked, we never had a clue that a child molester would be just in walking distance of…

Richard, I concede with many of your points, however, on others we will have to agree to disagree. Traditional rehabilitation has proven ineffective, resulting in high recidivism rates. Prisons are necessary to incapacitate violent offenders and /or career criminals; however, there are better alternatives for non-violent offenders who are not career criminals. Sentences for low level, non-violent offenders need to be commensurated according to the harm caused; ergo, measuring the effects on…
