Presentation transcript:

CJS - Chapter 7 Read page 132 carefully!! To conservatives discretion = “soft on crime” ** (discretion – police, courts, prisons) “Liberal” judges and policies?

CJS - Chapter 7 What is preventive detention and how does it relate to the right to bail? Short history: Poorhouse to ROR to Poorhouse before 1960s 1960s since 1980s

CJS - Chapter 7 Why is formal preventive detention usually not used even when available? Already done!! - court culture (bail) Could it be done better? Probably not - the prediction problem

CJS - Chapter 7 Overall, what proportion of people on bail commit serious crimes? Many petty, few serious “Prediction problem” High False pos to True pos ratio

CJS - Chapter 7 Why would “speedy trial” be a better way to prevent crime by people on bail? It wouldn’t!! (I disagree w/Walker here) Most cases don’t go to trial!! And resisted by court culture -- jail is used to coerce guilty pleas!

CJS - Chapter 7 What are selective incapacitation and gross incapacitation? How does the prediction problem relate to selective incapacitation? How does unemployment relate to this? Already talked about these

CJS - Chapter 7 Does “gross incapacitation” (the imprisonment binge) prevent crime? Already talked about this

CJS - Chapter 7 Do “Megan’s Laws” work?? Sex offender registration/notification Exagerated reoffending rates Misleading publicized cases Harms offender re-entry

CJS - Chapter 7 What are: (relate to discretion) mandatory sentencing - judges “truth in sentencing” - early release “3 strikes" laws - “chronic offenders”

CJS - Chapter 7 What did the 1973 New York drug law try to do, and did it work? “RDL” “Toughest drug law in the country” It failed (mostly petty offenders!) NY still struggling with problems today!!

CJS - Chapter 7 Did the Federal Sentencing Guidelines work? Mostly abandoned over the last ten years!

CJS - Chapter 7 Does mandatory sentencing reduce serious crime rates? No - it gets the wrong people (petty offenders)

CJS - Chapter 7 Do 3 strikes laws reduce serious crime? Rarely used - except Calif! 40,000 prisoners Costs 2 billion dollars a year Where used, mostly petty offenders - (serious already got long terms!)

CJS - Chapter 7 Walker’s five conclusions (p. 154): (Lock ‘em Up strategies don’t work)

CJS - Chapter 7 1. Select incap - can’t id HROs early enough to be effective 2. Gross incap overloads system, and turns into a huge disaster 3. Court culture resists gross incap, but eventually loses and changes

CJS - Chapter 7 4. Gross incap doesn’t reduce crime (aging in + supply and demand) 5. Cost is enormous - money could be used more effectively elsewhere (Education, Treatment, Social Programs, Family Programs)
