Under truth-in-sentencing laws what percentage of the sentence must be served by the offender

Social Studies
1 answer:
natita [175]3 years ago
8 0

Truth-in-sentencing laws aim to preserve the time sentence set for criminals at the time of their conviction. Advocates of these policies argue that when an individual is sentenced for 5 to 7 years and ends up getting released after serving 3 or 4, it constitutes deception and <u>a disservice to "the public's right to know"</u>.

Since 1994 in the U.S., the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act started giving out additional funding as an incentive to states that <u>ensure criminals convicted of violent crimes serve </u><u>at least 85% of their sentence</u><u>. Up until 2008, 35 of the 50 states have kept up these standards.</u>


Hope this helps!

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

It helped the United States open trade with China, increasing the country’s wealth.

Explanation:

As you can see in the description of the political cartoon, Uncle Sam is being welcomed by a Chinese man, on his adventure of taking industrial products to China. This shows how the annexation of the Philippines had a positive effect on the economic status of the United States, because it allowed American industrial products to be well received and frequently requested in that region, which allowed the United States to open trade with China, increasing wealth from the country.
