The three steps that I feel need serious improvement are contact bail/detention and sentancing. But before I talk about these steps I am going to talk about crime, from taking this course it is said that only 50% of crimes are reported and have that is handled. This is where the initial contact step comes in play. I feel that police departments do a fine job in handelig the crime that the can be aware of, but there definitly needs to be more law enforcement officers out on the street. The average police department has about twenty five to thirty men and thirty men to control all the crime in one town is not a lot at all, I feel that police should c

The charges should deffinitly not be lessened if someone comes out and says they are guilty. If they say they are guilty then exactly they are guilty of a crime and should be punihed for it in every way!! People in our society have to and should realize what is right and what is wrong and if everyone did that than we wouldn’t have any trouble in our criminal justice system. The criminal justice system definitly and has to be more hard on criminals

The last topic I would like to stress on is designer defences in sentancing. I think MOST of that designer defense is garbage, meaning that it is B.S. I have no clue why the court system buys the designer defense. For example the twinki defense the guy that had the twinki defense dosent have life in prison, he has a chance to geto ut of jail. I think that if someone commits a crime and their defense is that they are insane, well of course that are insane and has problems and that is what jail is for. I think that if anyone commits a crime that involves killing someone has to be insane and there is no other way to say i. Didn’t you ever say to one of your friends “can you imagine doing something like that” and the person responds “you have to be crazy to do a thing like that” well exacty the normal human being can’t think of blowing off an innocent persons face. So obvioously the person has to be crazy in some way.. and that’s why they will go to prison for life and have no more rights of freedom. Now I am not saying that

A next topic I would like to discuss is release. I think when a convict is released from a correctional facility he/she should have to prove them selvs the should seek counciling for many years after their realease. Also by proving them

about all designer defenses. Some I can see where they would work. For example like a minor doing something wrong. And minor meaning not a kid who is 16 or 17 years old a minor meaning like 12 or 13 years old. They can get off a go for some counceling . something like that is pretty fair. Deigner defenses are not fair to the victim or the victim’s family or friends. Because if the victim gets killed and get’s brutually murderd. The family and friends are going to have to live with that victims death for the rest of their life. And if the defendant gotsoff on a designer defense than that is just really wrong.

Correction’s is a good thing in our criminal justice system, but there are a few thing’s in correction’s that I would like to discuss that I would want changed to make our corrections a little bit more harsh. First the amount of space that correctiona facilities take up. The untied states is runing out of space for convicts. And only 5% of crimes commit a criminal to a correctional facility if the united states invested more money into building correctional facilities than sending someone to prison would be no problem. It would be much easier. So if someone commits even a small crime they could still serve some jail time and. If people that commited small crime served some jail time I think that people would think twice about even commiting that small crime, which I think that would lessen the bigger crimes. But other than that I feel that our corrections is harsh enough. I witnessed a jail time video in my sociology class the title is called “Scared Straight” and the video is about a bunch of innmates sharing their feeling on jail time and as you can tell from the title it is prety scary on what goes on in prison. I think that the criminal justice system should show a number of people in our american society what jail time is really like and then I think that this can lessen crime. Because people only think jail time is what they see in the movies but it is really not. So people should definitly realize this.

Sentancing is a big topic I would like to talk about, I feel the sentancing today should be more harsh, they should be more harsh for a couple of reason. First reason is that
