CJA 140 Module 1 Assignment 3 Responses to Crime

As you read, many defendants in the criminal justice system are prosecuted in state courts, which means that for the most part prosecutors rely on state case law and statutes as guidelines for whether or not they should be charged. In this assignment, you will select a defendant who has been prosecuted in your state court. Describe, in 1 page, the case against the defendant and the crimes for which the defendant has been charged. Examine the punishment assigned to the offender. If the offender you chose was acquitted or has not yet reached the punishment stage, you will still be able to examine the punishments that were available.

Use both the textbook and outside resources such as the Internet and the Argosy University online library resources to locate the article or case. Also, consider searching for criminal cases in local or national news outlets.

Tasks:

Write a 2- to 3-page report describing the punishment that was handed down to the offender. Be specific and use proper terminology. In your paper, include the following information:

• Explain the purpose associated with the punishment that was imposed.
• Describe any other choices the judge could have selected.
• Explain the reasoning behind the sentence.
• Provide your opinion and analysis. Was the punishment correct, in your view? Explain why or why not.

CJA 140 Module 2 Assignment 2 PSI Reports

Ed Robertson is a twenty-year-old student. He is in his first year at the local community college. He is pursuing the course to become an elementary school teacher. He is single and works part-time delivering pizzas.

Robertson is arrested for sexual assault and torture of a seventeen-year-old high-school student. Robertson claims that the victim consented to the sexual act, but later began to cry. He hit her to prevent her from crying and making a scene. He blames her for the incident and claims that he is the victim. Robertson has been convicted despite his plea of not guilty.

He has no prior adult criminal record; however, he has two prior involvements in the juvenile justice system. While he was being investigated, several neighbors reported him for mistreating cats and dogs on numerous occasions.

Tasks:

You are the probation officer who has been assigned this case. You are required to prepare and submit a PSI report to the trial judge that includes the following:

• The defendant’s criminal history
• Description of the present offenses involved
• Sources of information
• Criminal orientation
• Defendant’s explanations for his conduct
• Personal and family background
• Educational and employment background
• Health
• Sentencing options and recommendations
• Correctional plan for the defendant with justifications

Justify your recommendations giving appropriate reasons. Support your answer with the help of research and examples. Your report should be in proper format for a long-form PSI report.
