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!

During adolescence, maturation (or growth) of the __­­_____ comes after maturation of the ___
Sever21 [200]
With reference to the adolescent brain, the maturation or growth of the frontal lobe (i.e. prefrontal cortex), comes after or is slower than the development of the limbic system. 

The frontal lobe consists of the prefrontal cortex, premotor cortex, and the motor cortex. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for cognitive analysis, reasoning, anticipation, planning, problem solving, and impulse control. Its development lags behind the limbic system, which is responsible for emotions, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction (sense of smell).

Because of this inequality in the development rate, together with the surge of adolescent hormones, teenagers tend to be more impulsive, rash, and emotional as the their "emotional side" develops more rapidly than their "rational, judging" side.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

1. Alley goes with narrow

2. Rattle goes with noisy

3. Raggedy goes with shredded

4. Invisible goes with hidden

Explanation:

1. Alley goes with narrow because an alley is a narrow passageway between buildings.

2. Rattle goes with noisy because when you shake a rattle, it makes a lot of noise, therefore making it <em>noisy</em>.

3. Raggedy goes with shredded because having raggedy clothes means that you have <em>shredded</em> worn out clothes, and it needs patches.

4. Invisible goes with hidden because when something is invisible, you can't see them, meaning that they are <em>hidden</em> away from our sight.
