  • Justice: Who Knew It Could Be So Complicated

    1065 Words  | 3 Pages

    The term justice is used in some of America's most treasured and valued documents, from the Pledge of Allegiance, to the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence. Everyone wants to be treated justly whether it's in the courtroom or the local bar. Most people would feel confident giving a definition for justice, but would it be a definition we could universally agree to? Given that justice is a very common term, and something we all want, it's important to have a precise definition. For hundreds of years philosophers have argued, debated, and fought over this topic. Justice can clearly be defined as the intention to conform to truth and fairness. This is true justice.

  • Open Justice: The Negative Consequences Of Justice?

    How do we define justice? The dictionary defines it with words like righteousness and fairness. Often times when we hear the word justice, or hear about an unjust situation, we have an instinctual reaction. We all know what justice is, even without a dictionary definition. Justice is a virtue, justice is doing the right thing. But how can we define justice if it is doing what we individually think is the right thing to do?

  • When I Think Killing Someone is Justifiable

    “We all know the civilized way to wreak revenge: You don’t. You rise above it. Francis Bacon saw this nearly 400 years ago,” said Susie Boyt (Boyt 2014). This isn’t always the case though and there are individuals in the world such as myself that believe differently. There are three types of revenge crimes that happen. There are silly childish forms of revenge such as tattling on a friend to a teacher. Another is a passion crime, a murder when the emotional stress becomes too much and a person snaps. Lastly, a justifiable crime, such as when the actions of a person are reasonable and a person is free of charges within the justice system. I believe that there are circumstances that happen in the world when it is justifiable to murder a person based on their actions.

  • Juuries In The Criminal Justice System

    While the jury remains a vital cog in the machine that is the English legal system, the debate over its validity has attracted many academic and legal opinions. The jury has been an integral part of criminal proceedings in Britain for over 800 years. Though the concept of the jury has remained a constant, the role of the juries in criminal proceedings has altered greatly. When juries were first introduced, they were used as witnesses as opposed to the modern role of returning a verdict. The concept of using a jury is to allow ‘ordinary citizens to participate in the administration of justice’ . This is designed to promote public confidence.

    The ideal society we would all be considered equal, but reality often defies this idealism. When we think of police officers, we think of people working hard to keep us all safe, but this may not always be the case in today 's society. This is demonstrated in an opinion piece published in the Miami Herald, entitled “Need a ‘big, bad dude’? White criminals need not apply” by Leonard Pitts Jr. The article opens by discussing the shooting of African-American man Terence Crutcher, where the police officer who shot him stated it was due to him not obeying her orders and reaching inside his SUV for a weapon. However, the video of the shooting shows that this did not happen. The article also goes on to discuss other African-Americans shot in recent

    Have you ever thought about if the person next to you is a killer or a rapist? If so, what would you want from the government if the person had killed someone you know? Should they receive the death penalty? Murderers and rapists should be punished for the crimes they commit and should pay the price for their wrongdoing. Having the death penalty in our society is humane; it helps the overcrowding problem and gives relief to the families of the victims who had to go through an event such as murder.

  • The Jury System

    1395 Words  | 3 Pages

    The right to trial by jury in the modern times originates from twelfth century England during the reign of King Henry II. This system may originate from an “ancient right for an accused to be tried only “by the lawful judgment of his equals or by the law of the land”” (Thomas). In the United States, trial by jury is mentioned in Article Three of the Constitution and the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Amendments. For many people, the jury system seems to be the fairest system and most unbiased way of determining a person’s innocence or guilt. The system is to make sure that all receive fair trial despite their race, gender, national origin, religion, political affiliation, or color. Jury service is distinct in being the only form of civic participation that is required for almost all citizens to perform today. Though as with all things this system is not perfect and still has its own consequences.

  • The Role of Justice in Society

    Through the egalitarian reasoning of John Rawls and the act-utilitarianist perspective of J.J.C. Smart, I will analyze the concept of justice. In accordance with Rawls, I intend to argue that any changes in society that will increase the burden carried by the poorest 5% are unjust, even if these changes increase the average level of happiness for the other 95%. With regard to ethics, justice is defined as fairness, where all situations should be treated alike. For one to exhibit justice, one must portray the quality of being fair and reasonable in all situations. While egalitarians evaluate justice based on equality, utilitarians are only interested in justice as a means to an end. Smart advocates the principle of utility, which defines the morally action as whatever produces the greatest net happiness for everyone affected by that act. To identify an act as ‘just,’ Rawls employs the theory of justice as fairness. This theory stresses the principle of equal rights, and that an act is ‘just’ if equality is realized by everyone affected by the act.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Criminal Injustice

    1255 Words  | 3 Pages

    Economic status and social standing does affect the incarceration rates of young people in the U.S. Theoretically, judges and magistrates ought to be free and fair in making judgments, but the reality is that bias does occur in a jury. Poor people are more likely to receive harsher treatment that their rich counterpart for the similar crimes committed. People from pooper areas typically live in areas where there are higher rates of poverty, and there is a breakdown in social institutions. Crime in these places is more frequent and this creates the notion that young offenders from this are unlikely to be rehabilitated. The racial dimension is also apparent in cases as ethnic minorities have larger percentages in lower social strata of the society. Couch an upper middle class killed people through drunk driving but used the affluenza defense to escape harsh treatment (Hayes, 2014). On the other hand, Gonzalez was involved in the fatal shooting of a woman in robbery incident gone wrong, and although he was not the one who shot at the woman he was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. Couch is Caucasian and Gonzalez was of Hispanic extraction, and although both were involved in the death of two innocent people, it is Gonzalez who received harsher treatment. Power and money are intertwined to the extent that the more one has money the more they have power to influence and get favorable sentences.

  • The Problems with Our Justice System

    536 Words  | 2 Pages

    The present system of justice in this country is too slow and far too lenient. Too often the punishment given to criminal offenders does not fit the crime committed. It is time to stop dragging out justice and sentencing and dragging our feet in dispensing quick and just due. All punishment should be administered in public. It is time to revert back to the "court square hanging" style of justice. This justice would lessen crime because it would prove to criminals that harsh justice would be administered.
