Do you feel that three-strikes laws are cruel and unusual punishment? Does this affect negative public perception of the criminal justice system?

/in /by

Three-strikes laws are the most obvious and controversial use of selective incapacitation. In 2004, approximately 26 states and the U.S. federal court system had three-strikes laws. In most cases, three felonious convictions result in a mandatory life sentence with no possibility of parole. In the case of Lockyer v. Andrade, this was Andrade’s third strike in the state of California. Andrade was sentenced to 50 years with no possibility of parole. In your initial post, discuss the following:

Is this sentence disproportionate to the offense? Why or why not?
What evidence-based strategy or criminological theories would you use to address three-strikes laws and their application? (Review the Module Two resources on evidence-based strategies.)
Do you feel that three-strikes laws are cruel and unusual punishment? Does this affect negative public perception of the criminal justice system?

What are the advantages and disadvantages to the sales approach in the presentation of the job offer?

Ethics Issue – A large financial services organization is thinking of adopting a new staffing strategy for entry into its management training program. The program will provide the trainees all the knowledge and skills they need for their initial job assignment after training. So the organization has decided to do college recruiting at the end of the recruiting season, hiring those who have not been fortunate enough to receive any job offers, paying them a salary of 10% below market, and providing no other inducements such as a hiring bonus or relocation assistance. The organization figures this strategy and employee value proposition will yield a higher percentage of offers accepted, low cost per hire, and considerable labor cost savings due to below market salaries. Evaluate this strategy from an ethical perspective.

Considerthe following scenario:

Your client is a man in his 40s. He is confined to a wheelchair and requires attendance by a nurse 7 days a week due to respiratory and other medical conditions. He is a high-profile, outspoken, and controversial individual; many people hate him. He has been scheduled to appear in court in his home city, Los Angeles, as a defendant to answer charges involving murder and violating civil rights. He is currently free on a $1 million bond; the local police are not providing any protection.

In recent months, the city has been terrorized by a series homicides and the brutal beating of the client’s assistant. The media have speculated that several victims have been linked to your client and the police suspect a rival group is vying for political power in the movement. The police, however, have no direct evidence of that theory.

In attendance at the courthouse will be news organizations, fundamentalist religious groups, and civil rights groups, all picketing what promises to be an emotional trial. Security at the client’s estate has been increased because of threats on his life, but your client likes to speak his mind to everyone, especially the press. He plans to make a grand entrance and wants to meet with the press on the courthouse steps.

You are the head of a security detail of eight individuals for this day’s work.

Plan the expedition from your client’s home and back after his day in court, and security for the client’s estate on the beach.

The client’s home is in Laguna Beach, about an hour’s drive by freeway to the courthouse.

Preparea 1,050- to 1,400-word planning and threat assessment paper dealing with the above scenario. The paper must address:

-Concepts of threat and vulnerability assessment as they relate to personal and executive protection.

-Personal protection concerns related to transportation.

-Methods to consider when protecting large and small groups of people at work, social, or other events.

-Workplace violence.

Include a minimum of 4 references from texts, articles, journals, local police or criminal policy, and websites; only 2 may be websites.
