The use of restorative justice

paper#1 brian

The use of restorative justice in this day in age seems too good to be true. The main issue is that people are naturally selfish and will not budge from their ways. In order to completely have restorative justice there needs to be a drastic change in what people think is right, wrong, and knowing that the human life is not worthless. This type of justice is a systematic response to wrongdoing that emphasizes healing the wounds of victims, offenders, and communities caused or revealed by crime (Schmalleger, F. 2020). In few instances all parties involved in the criminal justice process can meet eye to eye and come to terms with what was done. The healing that can take place when there is admitting of wrongdoing and forgiveness is given can help spread restorative justice throughout the justice system.

In the case of Amber Guyger, a former police officer, she stood trial for entering the wrong apartment and fatally shooting Botham Jean thinking he was an intruder. She was untimely found guilty and the final day of the murder trial included a stunning moment in which Jean’s younger brother, Brandt, told Guyger during his victim impact statement that he forgave her, and gave her a long hug before she was taken to prison. Just after that, District Judge Tammy Kemp apparently gave Guyger a Bible and also hugged her (McLaughlin, E. 2019). In this case the younger brother realized that holding hate in his heart after she was found guilty of the murder weighed on him and forgave Amber Guyger

paper#2 Jeffery

When looking at the concept of restorative justice you have two parts that must come together. First the criminal but be truly ready to take responsibility and the second part is the victim or the family must be ready to forgive. With this concept, some criminals will never receive restorative justice due to the victim or family never being willing to forgive. This also puts a larger burden on a victim or family when restorative justice comes into question.” A restorative justice perspective allows judges and juries to consider victim-impact statements in their sentencing decisions.” (Schmalleger and Smykla, n.d., 44) When looking into the trial of Amber Guyger you can find examples of restorative justice. The brother of the victim was asked if he would like to speak at the victim impact statement and he thing to do so. Instead of using this time to tell the judge to throw the book at the shooter he forgave her and spoke to her about how he forgave her. This should fall into victim-offender reconciliation because the victim in this case his brother forgave his offender. “Brandt Jean shocked many when he told Amber Guyger he forgave her and said he didn’t want her to go to prison after she received a 10-year sentence” (Simon, 2019)this shows that the family of the victim truly forgave Guyger in the shooting that had happened this happened after the trial at the sentencing when the family speaks out to the judge. “Restorative justice seeks to restore the health of the community, repair the harm done by the crime” (Schmalleger and Smykla, n.d., p. 45) the forgiveness from the brother would be considered the restoring of the health of the community and the harm done.

Description of CODIS (Option 6)

Ge et al. (2012) report that DNA databases are now a fundamental tool in a criminal investigation. The purpose of these databases is to maintain a store of DNA profiles collected from offenders, crime scenes, or missing persons. Because there is such a high re rep rate among offenders, the collection of a convicted criminal’s DNA helps solve future crimes. Saferstein (2015) reports that one of the early problems with using these databases was that the DNA specimens were collected in many different jurisdictions from many different sources. To allow easier access to the databases, Saferstein (2015) states that the FBI created the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) to allow federal, state, and local laboratories to exchange information and compare DNA samples against other samples in the database.

Saferstein (2016) says that the CODIS system has three separate indexes. They are:

  • Forensic – This index contains, at the time of Saferstein’s writing, over 900,000 DNA profiles collected from unsolved crime scenes.
  • Offender – Contains over 13 million profiles of individuals convicted of crimes.
  • Arrestee – Many states and the FBI collect DNA from those awaiting trial and from detained immigrants. This database contains over three million profiles.

Saferstein (2016) reports that as of June 2011, searches on CODIS have resulted in 147,200 hits that assisted in more than 141,300 investigations.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that personal information is protected in CODIS in several ways. Searches of CODIS do not show any names, and no single identifiers are used in the CODIS software, although for missing persons, there can be some metadata included such as date of birth, etc. The information stored in the database is the DNA profile, the name of the agency submitting the profile, the specimen identification number, and the DNA lab staff associated with the profile analysis.

Ge et al. (2012) report that the FBI is working closely with laboratories in the U.S. and foreign countries to expand the database. It is believed that working with foreign governments and making a more international database could be a help in this countries fight against terrorism.

Evidence Collection Units

Evidence collection units are experts in their field. These units are trained to collect and preserve evidence taken from crime scenes. Many advantages can come from having evidence collection units process a crime scene. One of the advantages deals with the specialized training of these units. Many forensic techniques still leave ample room for improvement (Service, 2000). Evidence collection units undergo training that is specific to evidence collection, which allows them to be more current with new techniques and procedures to process a crime scene. Some police officers and detectives are also trained on evidence collection, but they have a wide range of other responsibilities that may cause divided attention.

Having a unit designated primarily for evidence collection allows that unit to have a primary goal and focus, which allows for more attentiveness and an expert approach to evidence collection. The second advantage deals with having a unit dedicated to evidence collection it allows a professional and unbiased approach to inspecting the crime scene. The unbiased approach is important as it allows the members of the team to conduct their business without any emotional attachment to the crime scene. Police officers and detectives could potentially have an emotional attachment to a crime scene, which could potentially invoke the possibility of mistakes being made due to the emotional stress of certain crime scenes. The third reason would be the fact that the evidence collection units maintain custody of evidence collected at a crime scene. Evidence Collection Unites follow strict evidence storage procedures to safeguard that evidence is preserved in the same state in that it was recovered from the crime scene and not contaminated (Ahluwalia and Srinivasan, 2004). The safeguards allow the proper handling of all evidence collected. Some police officers and detectives may not have the specific training to properly handle and preserve certain crime scene evidence.

Biometrics to Counter-Terrorism

Since September 11, 2001, the United States government has been seeking many unique ways to protect American citizens The Patriot Act, in all of its different incarnations, has been essential to combat terrorism. The United States government has also made vast advancements in technology to combat terrorism, and one of these advancements has been in the biometric recognition field. The government uses the fingerprints and facials of known terrorists to help discover and capture the terrorists. Large central databases such as SIS, VIS, and Eurodac are used to store personal and biometric data to manage borders but have also been used to counter terroristic threats (Sadik and Kaya, 2020). These databases allow a government to collect and store the fingerprints and facial images of suspected or known terrorists.

Terrorists will typically use disguises and false identities to conceal themselves and blend into the local population, biometric programs allow the military and government agencies to in a way see through those disguises and capture those terrorists. The military has used drones that are equipped with facial recognition devices to better detect potential threats. The US Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) Program is a biometric program designed to control and monitor the movement of foreign nationals throughout the United States to enhance the security of US citizens and visitors (Mitsilegas, 2012). The US-Visit is used to better protect our borders, both from potential illegal immigrants and from possible terroristic threats. The collection of biometric data and the advancements in biometric data collection is extremely important to further protect American citizens.

to use the source in your final paper. You are allowed to use the sources that you provided in your research topic submission.

Acceptable sources include books, academic journal articles, treaties, case documents, infor- mation from official organizations (UN, EU, NATO, etc.), and news articles (print or online) from reputable news sources. Sources that provide summaries or overviews of topics, such as Wikipedia, are not acceptable sources for this paper. Wikipedia can be a useful way to find sources, but you need to read and synthesize the materials cited yourself rather than rely on the Wikipedia editor. If you have any questions about whether something is an acceptable source of information, please do not hesitate to email me.

Final Paper: 15%

Your final paper is due March 27th by 10:00pm EST. The paper must be between 7 and 10 pages long. Cover pages and reference pages do not count towards your overall page count. A cover page is not required but it is recommended.

occasional mistake

Things to keep in mind when you are writing:

� Use quotes sparingly. Quotes should be used to add context or support your argument. Do not rely on them to make your argument for you.

� Keep your sentences short and to the point. Sentences should not be the length of paragraphs.

� Use paragraphs to make one argument. When you need to make a new argument, make a new paragraph. A single paragraph should not be the length of a page.

� Vary your sentence structure. Do not start your sentences and paragraphs the same way every time. This will make your paper more enjoyable to read and will prevent it from being repetitive.

� Use active voice in your writing. Try to avoid using the passive voice.

� Make sure you pick a tense and stick with it. Do not mix present and past tense in your papers.

� A good rule of thumb is that you should have at least as many citations as the number of pages in your paper. Do not base your entire paper on one source.

� Do not plagiarize or you will fail the assignment.

� Read your paper out loud. This is a great way to catch grammatical mistakes or missing words. It is okay to make the occasional mistake, but if mistakes become distracting to my ability to read and understand your paper, you will be marked down.

current tensions between states’ rights and the federal government

  • Few people could live together and not have laws. Why? Consider the concept of pluralism. Does pluralism have any negative aspects? Why have some fought so hard against the concept in the United States? Consider present examples and discussion surrounding the idea of pluralism and how this may or may not be connected to the current discussion on immigration.
  • Could a country such as the United States function without a federal constitution? Would it be possible for each state to merely abide by its own constitution? Why shouldn’t the US Constitution include an overall criminal code specifying crimes and punishments that could apply [universally] throughout the US? Can you think of current tensions between states’ rights and the federal government (e.g., gun laws, physician assisted suicide, legalization of marijuana, etc.) Discuss.
  • Should any one court be given the final say? Why or why not? Is there a negative side to appointment for life on the Court? Does this and the inability to lessen a justice’s salary really prevent influencing a Supreme Court justice? Do you think that the Supreme Court is a de facto lawmaker? What about split decisions? Considering many Supreme Court decisions are decided 5 to 4, is it reasonable to have the law of the land determined by 5 people?
  • As discussed previously, can you think of current tensions between states’ rights and the federal government? Discuss. Do you believe that this influences your daily life? Imagine a system in which the federal government determined all laws across the land. One in which there was no local or state-level jurisdiction fluctuation. What would it look like?

  • current tensions between states’ rights and the federal government

  • Explain at what point a person is considered “under arrest.” Explain the difference between a stop and an arrest. Why might states authorize probable cause arrests for certain unwitnessed misdemeanors? How much force can be used by an officer when executing an arrest? How is it determined? Can you think of any times when you heard about “excessive use of force” and if so, how do you think the actions of a few influenced the perceptions of many regarding the police?
  • Considering the USA Patriot Act, do you think Americans could ever sacrifice too many rights in exchange for national security? What does the Patriot Act allow the government to do that might give you pause concerning your privacy? Do you believe that most people know what is in the Patriot Act concerning their individual liberties? If you decided to protest the government anyway, do you think some of these concerns over the Patriot Act’s reach could impact you?

2. Grading will be tied to comprehension, depth, source reliance, APA, grammar, spelling, completeness and scope.

3. In crafting your answer, you will provide concepts and ideas culled from the text. You should define your terms.

4. Cite using APA format. There is no required length of this paper, however, it must be comprehensive and fulfill the above requirements. You will be uploading your paper in Canvas, but your paper will process through Turnitin, a plagiarism detection service.

how the ‘human factor’ can impact the efficacy of forensics

Your answers to EACH of the three questions must be between 150-250 words (for a total of 450-750 words). This means question 1 should be at least 150 words, question 2 should be at least 150 words, etc. Writing 200 words for question 1 and only 100 words for question 2 is not acceptable. Failure to meet the minimum word count for any of the three questions will result in a lower score.

Yes, you need to cite your sources (including the assigned material) using APA version 7 citation format. Failure to cite all sources will result in a lower score and plagiarism will result in an academic complaint. You will not be allowed to re-submit a post in which you have plagiarized.

You must write complete sentences. No bullet points allowed.

Responses must be written in your own words. No quotes allowed.

 

ONLY USE THE SOURCES OF EACH QUESTION, NO OUTSIDE SOURCE.

 

 

Answer the following questions:

1a. We’ve discussed how the ‘human factor’ can impact the efficacy of forensics. These human factors are especially influential in subjective forensics (i.e. footwear, tool-mark, fingerprint, etc.). Now let’s talk about more objective forensic evidence. Watch ‘ Exploring bias in forensic DNA profiling (Links to an external site.) Shape, arrow Description automatically generated‘. How can bias influence DNA profiling?

1b. What can we do to mitigate bias and can we ever really completely eliminate bias?

how the ‘human factor’ can impact the efficacy of forensics

2a. Before you started your degree in criminal justice (or took your first criminal justice class), did you have any misconceptions the CJ system?

2b. If so, where did these misconceptions come from?

2c. Read ‘ The ‘CSI Effect’: Does It Really Exist?

Actions

Preview the document‘. After reading the responses from the survey, identify at least one pro and at least one con of the CSI effect.

2d. After reading the article, do you think the CSI effect is a major concern for our legal system?

2e. Why or why not?

 

3a. Some suggest populating forensic databases, particularly DNA databases, with the entire population (either of the nation or world-wide) would increase the effectiveness of the database. Read ‘ DNA Sample Collection from Arrestees (Links to an external site.) ‘ and explain some of the logistical challenges. Read ‘ Forensic databases: benefits and ethical and social costs

Actions

Preview the document‘ (note: I am aware this is a UK article but some issues are universal) and explain some of the social and ethical challenges.

3b. Based on the challenges, do you think it is worth adding the entire population to a forensic database?

3c. Why or why not?
