The explanation of the Miranda Rights must be required prior to interviewing any suspect involved with gang activities. The Miranda Rights should be explained to the juvenile in a language they can understand, the age of the suspect is an important factor to be considered prior to an interview, and the suspect should be advised of any possible criminal charges which could be transferred to adult court.

    One of the Judicial Branch’s many powers is the power of judicial review. Judicial review allows the Supreme Court to decide whether or not the other branches of governments’ actions are constitutional or not. This power is very important because it is usually the last hope of justice for many cases. This also allows the court to overturn lower courts’ rulings. Cases like Miranda v. Arizona gave Miranda justice for having his rules as a citizen violated. The court evalutes whether any law was broken then makes their ruling. Also, the Weeks v. United States case had to be reviewed by the court because unlawful searches and siezures were conducted by officers. One of the most famous cases involving judicial review was the Plessey v.

  • Miranda vs. Arizona

    602 Words  | 2 Pages

    This case had to do with an Ernest Miranda who raped a Patty McGee*. After extracting a written confession from the rapist about the situation, Miranda’s lawyer argued that it was not valid since the Phoenix Police Department failed to read Miranda his rights, also in violation of the Sixth Amendment which is the right to counsel. Some factors that helped support Miranda’s arguments were that the suspect had requested and been denied an opportunity to consult with a lawyer; the suspect had not been effectively warned about his right to remain silent; and an incriminating statement must have been given by the suspect. The author of the Arizona court’s decision, former U.S. Senator and Arizona governor Ernest W. McFarland, said that Miranda had not requested a lawyer at the time of his detention and therefore was not entitled to the protections offered by such thins as in the Escobedo vs. Illinois case.

    ...n attempting to research this phenomenon. The research of juveniles and especially of their criminal conduct brings up many ethical issues and dilemmas. Participants’ guardians should be made aware of the research being conducted and participant confidentiality should be one of the researcher’s main priorities. An issue that may arise is the lack of guardian support for involvement in the research. In order to overcome this possible dilemma, informational packets should be created to hand out to guardians, which will include information about the research experiment. Confidentiality should be stressed and other than the survey or in-person interview, the observations by the researcher will be primarily unobtrusive, so guardians should be reassured that their approval in their child’s participation is only beneficial to bring about policy changes in school settings.

  • Police Discretion Essay

    1505 Words  | 4 Pages

    The ability of police to exercise discretion was originally designed to allow officers to maintain the peace by allowing certain types of crime to remain unpunished in certain circumstances. This essay will aim to explore the issue of police discretion that suggests that the application of discretion works against the interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In drawing this conclusion, this essay will examine the relationship between policing ideals and the use of discretionary powers and the relationship between policing attitudes and the use of discretionary powers. A discussion regarding the use of police discretion towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can scarcely be mentioned without making reference to arguably the greatest failing by a police officer since indigenous Australians were formally recognised as citizens. Further to this, the case of Mulrunji Doomadgee (Cameron) will be examined from the point of view of officer discretionary powers. The penultimate point to be made will involve the Anglo Australian response to this case as well as the ongoing relationship between indigenous Australians and the institutions that govern them. As mentioned, the first point will involve policing ideals and their relationship to discretionary powers.

  • Thomas Hobbes Miranda Rights

    To finalize our readings of Thomas Hobbes in the Leviathan, we stumble across some interesting concepts in which he conveys about society. One quote I would like to talk about is the one found in chapter thirty, on page 220: “Secondly, it is against his duty to let the people be ignorant or misinformed of the grounds and reasons of those his essential rights, because thereby men are easy to be seduced and drawn to resist him.” Upon first reading this, my mind is immediately drawn to the Miranda rights, which were not established until 1966. These rights allow us to know our essential rights- exclusively when we are being place under arrest. This rights, however important, are not the most essential rights given to us. These rights can be found
