A short summary of the adult criminal justice system

Answer:

I hope this helps you!!

Explanation:

Unlike in most countries, the United States criminal justice system is not represented by a single, all-encompassing institution. Rather, it is a network of criminal justice systems at the federal, state, and special jurisdictional levels like military courts and territorial courts. Criminal laws at these levels vary, although these are all based on the US Constitution.

The federal criminal justice system handles cases that are national in scope: treason, espionage, assassination of top-level government officials, among others. Meanwhile, state criminal justice systems handle crimes that have taken place or, in certain situations, have evident involvement in the state. The same process goes for the criminal justice systems within special jurisdictions.

As with any mechanism, the criminal justice system involves the coordinated functioning of its distinct parts. The ideal result is making offenders pay for, and repent, their criminal acts while delivering recompense to the victims. The three components of the criminal justice system are: Law enforcement, Adjudication, and Corrections.

Was the Enforcement Act of 1870 a valid exercise of Congress's power to enforce the Fifteenth
love history [14]

Answer:

No. In an 8-1 decision authored by Chief Justice Morrison Waite, the Court concluded that the relevant sections of the Enforcement Act lacked the necessary, limiting language to qualify as enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment. The Chief Justice first stated that the Fifteenth Amendment "does not confer the right of suffrage upon any one," but "prevents the States, or the United States, however, from giving preference…to one citizen of the United States over another on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." In examining the language of the Enforcement Act, the Court noted that, while the first two sections of the act explicitly referred to race in criminalizing interference with the right to vote, the relevant third and fourth sections refer only to the "aforesaid" offense. According to the Court, this language does not sufficiently tailor the law to qualify as "appropriate legislation" under the Enforcement Clause of the Fifteenth Amendment.

Do you think penalties are fair for students that cheat in class? College etc.
marysya [2.9K]

It depends on what penalties, and the severity of the student cheating.

So, the student is cheating on something minor, something unimportant, then I don't think they need to be kicked out of class just for that, but maybe get a 0 on that whole thing and that will teach them a lesson.

If the student is cheating on something important (excluding big tests), then the school should probably: A, give them a 0 on it or B, move them down to a lower level so the student feels like they don't have to cheat.

The worst thing they could do is cheat on a really big test like an exam, then they will probably end up with a big fat 0 on it all and flunk that class, or get kicked out of class.

Lots of people (adults and kids) think that penalties should be easier on the kids, but I don't agree with that. If the kid has done something wrong, then the kid needs to pay for their actions and deal with the consequences.
