Systematic Criminal Justice Process - Answers Did not begin in the U.S. until 1929 when the Wickersham
Report began.
Wickersham Report - Answers A study of the administration of justice.
Criminal Justice System - Answers Includes the police, the courts, and corrections. It provides us with a
way of dealing with criminals.
General Deterrence - Answers The idea that is people see the punishments given to offenders that they
will be less likey to commit crimes themselves.
Specific Deterrence - Answers When a specific person is punished harshly for their crimes to hopefully
prevent them from repeating the crime. EX: a judge may sentence a drug dealer to the maximum prison
sentence hoping that the sentence will convince the person not to deal drugs again in the future.
Incapacitation - Answers Offers a sort of societal protection by taking offenders and placing them in a
controlled environment where they are not able to harm society. The most extreme form is the death
penalty.
Morality - Answers The understanding in society of what is right and wrong.
Entry into the System - Answers 1. Someone must notice the act.
2. The act has to be defines as breaking a law.
3. The act has to be reported to law enforcement. They will review the case and redefine what
happened.
4. If law enforcement feels that a crime has occurred, the act will be recorded as a crime known to
police and the criminal case on the act has entered the system.
Victims - Answers First "gatekeepers" of the system. This is because victims make the initial decision
about whether they think a crime has occurred or not and then make the decision about whether or not
to report the criminal act if they believe that is what the act was. In many cases, if the crime is not
reported by the victim, it will never enter the system at all.
Decisions About the Situation - Answers 1. Whether the police will investigate the crime or not.
2. Whether to make an arrest or to drop the investigation.
These may be based on whether or not they have a cooperative witness to the crime who will testify or
whether they think the situation should have handled in a way different than an arrest.
U.S. Constitution says... - Answers For a person to be taken into custody, probable cause must exist that
the person committed a crime.
