Topic Post

In Chapter 7 I wanted to go into further discussion about Public Defenders for Juveniles but in the State of California. I wanted to point out in regards to an aaffiliated institution in the state of California, the public, under the constitutional mandate, have the right to be defended in all the

phases of criminal defense, mental health, and other domestic relations proceedings. The mostshared and popular method used by juveniles is the public defender. In the California public defender association, there are lists of websites for every county and how these minors can access public defender services (NJDC, 2016). The public defender attorneys are normally paid by the local county government if there emerges an issue which prevents representation by the public defender, and then the court normally appoints a defense council. (Cal. Penal code&218).

 

In 2015, the California State Legislature under the AB 703, educates on the training requirements of juvenile defense attorneys and also made it clear that it now recognizes the field of young defense. The primary duty is to ensure that they provide effective, diligent, conscientious competent advocacy for all the clients.

 

Different states maintain various standards, an example of such standards is found in the county of San Bernardino where attorneys who represent juveniles are prohibited from seeking certification of competency and are also not certified by the court as competent until the attorney has met all the minimum standards of competency. The court frequently defines the age of a child who is considered to be a juvenile. Also, no statute specifies the youngest age a child is supposed to be so that one can be adjudicated, delinquent. After the 18th birthday, the juvenile is the referred to as an adult and is after that charged in an adult court. If a minor is already committed to the California Youth Authority after having committed a certain crime, the court of minors is supposed to maintain the jurisdiction until the offender attains the age of 25 (NJDC, 2016).

You have some really good points here, and something that is often overlooked is that the juvenile system is somewhat of a specialty.  With all of the things that are different between juvenile and criminal court would there potentially be a benefit to requiring some sort of specialization to be able to represent juveniles, or perhaps at a minimum to represent juveniles as a court appointed attorney?

 

outline- rehab vs incarceration

 

 

 

 

The title of my research project for this course is rehabilitation versus incarceration. The main issue to be examined is to determine if incarceration or rehabilitation is more effective for offenders. We[DTM1]  can punish people for the crimes committed to get the drugs, but that’[DTM2] s not the solution for treating the mental illness associated with the offenses. Rehabilitation is an essential goal of the criminal justice system.[DTM3]  This goal rests on the assumption that individuals can be treated and can return to society crime free. [DTM4] 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you are already aware, the Research Project for this course is divided into three parts. This is the second of three parts. By now, you should have already completed the first part, the Topic Selection Essay and have received permission from your instructor to proceed.

 

Part 2 of the Course Project consists of an annotated outline. The annotated outline is the framework of your final project and will include most, if not all of your reference sources. This annotated outline will give your professor a chance to see how far along you are in your project, and allow him or her to provide you feedback on ways to improve. The more you put into the annotated outline, the more feedback your professor can offer back to you. The idea here is to make sure you are on the right track so that there won’t be any surprises for you at the end.

 

In Doc Sharing you will find a PDF document titled Annotated Outline Format and an MS Word document titled Table of Contents for the CRJ-560 Project. These two documents provide the framework for the final project and will help you understand what is required. The project is designed in a way that will let you adapt it on a later date toward the formulation of a dissertation research project if you choose to do so. For those of you who are considering pursuing a doctorate degree in the future, this project is formulated in a way that will lead right into a doctoral dissertation study. 

 

On both the Annotated Outline Format and on the Table of Contents for the CRJ-560 Project documents, you will notice that some of the text appears to be a subdued gray color. Those are the things that you will not be responsible for. They appear only so you can see how your paper fits into the greater research project that you would need to do if you completed a full doctoral dissertation.

Response #15N

I need a to respond #2 below- with at least 150 words and include cited information from anywhere your information used was related information to support your response.

 

The orginal topic question

 

Give an example of an international justice system. How do the various international justice systems cooperate and coordinate in combating global crime? What would happen if the communication among these international justice systems broke down, or was non-existent? Explain.

 

 

#2 The response to the question 

 

The ICC otherwise known as the International Criminal Court is well known for holding “dozens of leaders of Nazi Germany accountable for their actions” during the WWII, (Shannon G., Hollie B., 2013). Other massive acts of genocide bring international crime fighting institutions and courts together to bring justice to these acts against humanity. Many see this as a way of international social control but I can not trust this view. First, these international groups do not have a foundation in which they base all of their cases and this makes the process very slow and unique to its cases. Another drawback is the fact that many perspectives come from different cultural background and laws fluctuate from country to country. This in the long-run makes it hard to come to conclusions on matters as countries back home continue to reform domestically. This being said, I think it is best to have such courts and institutions to ensure that when large issues arise, the countries are able to come together and create a moral understanding of wrong-doing against mankind as a whole and ensure that mass tragedies do not go without justice. If however these systems did not exist we could find ourselves in more wars then could be handled by any one country. To retaliate in any way in outside affairs would bring many breakdowns in relationships between countries and allies. This is not something that our country can afford.

Week 3 Discussion 2

The purpose of this discussion is to give you the opportunity to apply ethical theories and perspectives to modern issues of the workplace. Off-duty conduct away from the workplace can be monitored and reported in many ways. These ways have only grown due to the increase in social media use, which provides employers far greater opportunities to become aware of what employees do outside of the workplace. Some types of behaviors are especially concerning, as they may have on-duty consequences. Other types of off-duty behavior, however, are more difficult to clearly define as grossly inappropriate and warranting employer intervention. But who draws this line, and what are the ethical implications of where the line is drawn? Prepare and post a response to the following prompt:

Using the resources provided, your own research, and your knowledge of the ethical concepts from the text, consider the issue of off-site monitoring of conduct:

  • Considering your own work experience, imagine a circumstance in which your supervisor monitored your behavior off the job. Describe the circumstances, including how and why your conduct was monitored.
  • Would you consider your example to involve a minor, moderate, or severe invasion of an individual’s privacy? Explain your reasoning. Share your unemotional, well-defined, evidence-based response to your boss to support your viewpoint.
  • What issues do you believe led to your employer monitoring you? Use one ethical theory or perspective to help support your employer’s viewpoint, and use a scholarly source as your evidence.
  • What about your viewpoint as the employee? Use one ethical theory or perspective to support an employee’s right to privacy outside of work, and use a scholarly source as your evidence.

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required resources and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center

Module 1 discussion

n this module, you are required to read the article on Bivens from Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology. The purpose of this article is to understand that a law enforcement officer is not immune from civil lawsuits.

Where once police and law enforcement agencies thought themselves immune, civil lawsuits against law enforcement officers are quite common nowadays. These lawsuits are based on whether the law enforcement officers correctly followed the guidelines meant to protect the citizens, guaranteed by the Constitution.

The purpose behind Bivens is to some extent protect private citizens from police misconduct. The other side of the coin is that if we so circumscribe the actions of officers, citizens may not be protected from the criminal acts of others. The point of the assignment is for you to begin to recognize this balancing act.

Suggested Links:

What You Are Required to Do . . .

Research on the Internet or the Argosy University Online Library and find some cases where officers have been sued in civil court for failing to follow the guidelines meant to protect the citizens from police misconduct.

Submission Details:

By Saturday, September 10, 2016, in a minimum of 250 words, post your responses to the following topics in the Discussion Area.

  • Describe a lawsuit, the issues involved in the trial, and the verdict. Do you think public safety in terms of the safety of the public was improved? Why or why not?
  • As a law enforcement officer, what would your reaction be to being sued by a suspect in a case? How do you think that lawsuit would impact your personal life? How would you handle the pressure of being accused of violating the Constitution?
  • Do you think you might change the way you would act as a law enforcement official if you were aware that you could be sued by a suspect you apprehended? In what way would it impact your duties as a law enforcement official?
