John Wayne Gacy: A Victim of the Criminal Justice System
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 paper examines the life and activities of John Wayne Gacy and why he committed heinous crimes. With the use of labeling theory, it is suggested that Gacy might have been able to change things if in fact he were not labeled and ostracized by the community. His childhood, to some extent provides information on why he might have chosen this negative path. Etiology is provided and labeling is viewed as a primary cause. Labeling theory is discussed in depth. In order to predict and prevent other crimes, the Gacy case is used as an example. What is learned from this particular case helps in making suggestions for treating offenders with a similar profile. Finally, criminal justice responses are aligned with positive elements as opposed to the punitive model that currently exists. Rehabilitation and positive treatment options are recommended as is an absence of labels. Megan's law is opposed. The paper sums up with general observations about society, and uses the Gacy case as an example. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Justice Applied in Situations Where People are Treated Differently
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the basis for justice in which people are treated differently. The basic principle of justice which was first formulated by Aristotle states that “equals should be treated equally and unequals unequally”. In terms of contemporary justice, this is similarly defined as “individuals should be treated the same, unless they differ in ways that are relevant to the situation in which they are involved”. There are several ways to look at justice. Firstly, most people understand that idea that justice means that “everybody should be treated the same”. Secondly, however, there are instances where justice can also apply in situations in which some people are treated differently. Situations in which people accept that justice has been served yet people are treated differently are usually based on circumstances in which need, desert, contribution and effort are the criteria.
Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Justifications for a Federal Death Penalty Law
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the justifications which exist for imposing a federal death penalty. Emphasizes that such a penalty would not only permanently remove violent criminals from society but also serve as a deterrent to potential criminals. Dismisses the argument against such a penalty on the basis that it discriminates against lower socioeconomic classes who can not afford private defense with the observation that if our representation system is at fault then those inadequacies should be addressed, not be used as an excuse against the federal death penalty. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Juvenile Crime: Get Tough Programs Verses Blended Sentencing and Community Address
