Problems w/ Criminal justice System

[Sweet Polly]

Hi:
My name is Lesley and I am doing a project for school. One of the questions that I need help with is:
What do you feel is the problem or are the problems with the criminal justice system?
Can you all help me?

Thanks

CJ system

Leslie, you didn't pick that topic, did you? For starters, to call it a system is an oxymoron. It's not about justice and it's far from organized! But they did put it in the right order: Criminal Justice....

It's a "legal" system...not designed to dispense "justice" at all. In every day practice it favours the criminals and there is very little real "justice" for the guilty.

Actually, no--my professor chose the topic. What do you feel are some of the problems with our esteemed Justice system?

Too God Damn many criminals and liberals.

Any more questions?

[Sweet Polly]

Have there been any cases that you have seen or dealt with that have been unfairly handled? Like, did the criminal go free or get a unusually light punishment for something that warranted a more severe punishment?

Are you Active Duty or retired? And, Is it safe to assume that you are near Fort Campbell, where there are a LOT of criminals and a LOT of crime?

The problems with the criminal justice system...

Just how long is this paper supposed to be?

I would pick a specific problem and work that, recidivism, election/appointment of judges, people who think that sex offenders can be rehabilitated, the way our society views certain crimes (ie drugs considered "victimless"), idiots who think that they can "fix" people who don't want to be fixed.

If you were to try to cover everything screwed up with the "system" you could write volumes.
