Crime and Punishment Chapter 7 Section 5

Crime Any act that violates a statue of law Wide Ranging State and/or Federal

Crime in the U.S. Most crimes are down, even though population is up Burglary and larceny is up

How do we collect crime stats? Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) Nine Categories Murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, arson, hate crimes

Problems with UCR Over-represent lower class Some crimes are not report Some crimes are done in private

Juvenile Crime Has gone down in recent years Why? Lack of demand for crack-cocaine Others?

Criminal Justice System System made of the institution and processes responsible for enforcing criminal statuses 4 Main Approaches Deterrence Retribution Incarceration Rehabilitation

Deterrence Discouraging criminal acts by threatening punishment Set examples Usually effective, but not with Capital Punishment Action needs to be quick

Retribution Punishment that makes criminals pay for their actions Based on “eye for an eye” Taking the law into your own hands

Incarceration Method of protecting society from criminals by keeping them in prisons Problems Overcrowding Three strike laws Are criminals rehabilitated while in prison?

Rehabilitation Process of changing or reforming a criminal through socialization Does this work in prison? Unfortunately, it does not. Most repeat criminal behavior

Recidivism Repetition of criminal behavior Reasons for high rate: Influences of other criminals Stigma about being an ex- convict

Possible Alternatives to Prison Combination of prison and probation Community-based programs Diversion strategies Will any of these work?
