Criminal Justice System: Austria And The United States
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The differences between Austria and America's criminal justice systems were not always so broad; in fact, there was a time when both mirrored a decidedly punitive approach when it came to criminal justice. Coupled with Austria's conservative nature, this particular stance was neither popular nor productive; as such, a trend began taking place throughout the 1980s and 1990s that incorporated a more mediation-minded position to addressing the perpetual nature of criminal activity. Compared with this newfangled victim-offender mediation, the United States continues to utilize harsh and unrelenting tactics when it comes to its overall approach to criminal justice.

Criminal Law: Intent To Kill
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page paper that discusses criminal law in the United Kingdom. Specifically, this paper discusses how the Court of Appeals have clarified the meaning of intention in terms of acts that cause grave bodily harm or death. Four cases are explained, R v Moloney; R V Hancock and Shankland; R v Nedrick; and R v Woollin. These cases of appeal worked to clarify the meaning of intention. Two hypothetical cases are then discussed for which the other four cases are used to determine if the defendants' actions met the requirements for mens rea. At this point, further cases from the Courts of Appeals are brought into the discussion. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Criminal Sentencing: White Black and Mental
[ send me this paper ]
(8pp). What we will be looking at in this discussion are basically two issues that have somehow become enmeshed: According to Davis (1998), more than 70 percent, of the imprisoned population, are people of color. It is rarely acknowledged, that the fastest growing group of prisoners are black women, and that Native American prisoners are the largest group per capita. Approximately five million people - including those on probation and parole -- are directly under the surveillance of the criminal justice system. And according to Ditton (1999) sixteen percent of those incarcerated in state systems are mentally ill. One of the questions that then arises from this data is, are the white mentally ill sentenced to incarceration at a different ratio than people of color? Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Criminal Treatment Program And Criminal Theory
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Restructuring an individual's life when he or she has chosen the criminal route is both a long and arduous process; for lawbreakers who do not respond to standard scare tactics as a means by which to set them straight, there are tougher, more intimidating ways to achieve this objective. Understanding why some people turn to illegal activity while others do not is what criminal theories strive to reflect; attempting to correlate the relationship between theory and treatment finds one often borrowing from more than a single explanation. Boot camps and shock incarceration programs represent two treatment programs where a specific objective is sought through a series of harsh and enlightened interchange in order to ready criminals for reenter into society on its terms.

Current Events : Gun Control
[ send me this paper ]
In 7 pages, the author discusses gun control. The topic of gun control is not a new one. It has been the focus of the nation for years, and this focus is increasing. With the presidential primaries that have occurred as well as the general election in November, this topic has become more of a political one with the express views of the candidates being important to the citizenry. Some citizens are pro-gun control and others are anti-gun control. In the wake of all of the campaign information and the pro-gun vs. anti-gun proponents, however, one must understand that lives are continuing to be lost because of the lack of gun control in this nation. This is evidenced when picking up a magazine, journal, or newspaper today. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
