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!

Cats have several natural instincts, I will list several of them:

  • To clean themselves: In the wild, cats can get dirt on themselves and will usually lick themselves (or others) to clean up. However, since house cats do this also without training, it is a natural instinct.
  • To hunt for prey: If you've played with a cat or kitten before, you'll notice that they can pounce on different toys. This is because it is their natural instinct to pounce on prey
  • To eat: Like all animals, cats need to eat. Thus, they will react to the scent of food or any sign of edible prey.

These are several instincts that I can remember from experience. Let me know if you need any more or if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Bess [88]

Answer:d. libertarian

Explanation:

Libertarians are group of individuals who seek to promote and enhance political freedom where people have freedom of choice and are not bound by any rules and regulations that defines what they should do.

Libertarians don't trust authority and state power , they are very doubtful when it comes to how the government rule the country and pose it rules on people.

They don't support the ideas of people being restricted by the government on their own lives hence a libertarian will loose the idea of the government proposing to increase the taxpayer money cause that will mean government is dictating it authority over people and that is one of the things libertarian are against.

What were the intentions of the Roman emperors when they took the throne
madam [21]

Answer: Praetorians found Claudius cowering behind a curtain after they assassinated his nephew Caligula. They were in the process of ransacking the palace, but instead of killing Claudius, they recognized him as the brother of their much loved Germanicus and persuaded Claudius to take the throne. The Senate had been at work finding a new successor, but the praetorians again imposed their will.

The new emperor bought the continued allegiance of the praetorian guard.

One of Claudius' wives, Messalina, had produced an heir known as Britannicus, but Claudius' last wife, Agrippina, persuaded Claudius to adopt her son — whom we know as Nero — as heir.
