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

1 answer:

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 a disservice to "the public's right to know".

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 ensure criminals convicted of violent crimes serve at least 85% of their sentence. Up until 2008, 35 of the 50 states have kept up these standards.

Hope this helps!

How were the Cultural Revolution and the events in Tiananmen Square impacted by Communism in China?

Olenka [21]

Explanation:

The Tiananmen Square protests were student-led demonstrations calling for democracy, free speech and a free press in China. They were halted in a bloody crackdown, known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, by the Chinese government on June 4 and 5, 1989.

Pro-democracy protesters, mostly students, initially marched through Beijing to Tiananmen Square following the death of Hu Yaobang. Hu, a former Communist Party leader, had worked to introduce democratic reform in China. In mourning Hu, the students called for a more open, democratic government. Eventually thousands of people joined the students in Tiananmen Square, with the protest’s numbers increasing to the tens of thousands by mid-May.
