Issues in Criminal Justice Administration

Jeffrey Reiman/Rich get richer, Poor get Prison
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page book review that profiles Reiman's text The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison. The writer argues that the 2004 edition of Jeffrey Reiman's classic text shows that time has only validated the accusations that Reiman formulated against US jurisprudence in the original edition of his book in 1979. As Reiman points out in his preface to the seventh edition, "recent events continue to bear out the main thesis of the original edition of this book" (xiii). That thesis is that the criminal acts committed by the poor are treated a crimes while the acts of well-off people, which result in occupational death and disease, are not treated by crimes--"or if treated as crimes, not treated as serious crimes" (xiv). With the news filled with stories of white collar crime that robs millions of Americans of their retirement funds and financial security, this book is extremely relevant and should be required reading for all Americans--particularly in an election year. No additional sources cited.

Juvenile And Adult Court: Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Juveniles have historically found protection under the law with regard to being tried as adults when they have committed adult crimes. Contemporary society, however, witnessed a significant change in attitude toward some offenses whereby juveniles now can be tried - and convicted - as an adult. The extent to which the justice system has historically provided juveniles with a much lighter punishment for an offense that would otherwise earn an adult a severe sentence is both grand and far-reaching; that such variables as age and offense determine how and where a juvenile is tried speaks to what many believe to be a miscarriage of justice when youthful offenders know the difference between right and wrong even if they are minors. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
