An outline of the Community Service Order - Free Essay Example

109528 Formerly known as a Community Service Order introduced by the Criminal Justice Act 1972, a community punishment order[1] is now regulated by the Powers of Criminal Courts Act of 2000. The aims of a community punishment order is solely to reform the offender whilst he/she remains in the community, allow an opportunity to reflect on the criminal act for which s/he has been sentenced, the order is a method of rehabilitation preventing the offender from falling into a life of criminal activity and is also reparative to the public (particularly the victim).[2] The order, defined by s.163 of the PCC (2000) requires the convicted offender to spend time on unpaid work for the benefit of the community for a period between 40 to 240 hours. The offender is supervised whilst undertaking this work by a member of the youth offending team, a social worker, or a member of the probation service. As outlined in s46 of the PCC(S) Act (2000), the minimum age for a young offender to be sentenced to a community punishment order is 16. It is an alternative to a custodial sentence for the juvenile who having committed the offence, and found guilty of it, would otherwise be sent to a young offenderà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s institution. For those under the age of 18, the Youth Justice Board would be responsible for locating secure accommodation for the committed juvenile. The other criteria for this sentence is that the court is satisfied by pre-sentence reports of the offenderà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s ability and suitability to carry out this form of punishment and also à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å" there is somewhere suitable and a type of unpaid work available for the punishment to be carried out.[3] The Youth Justice Board was created by the Government in the provisions set out in the Crime and Disorder Act of 1998. With no specific body responsible in dealing with juvenile crime, the Government set out to create a Youth Justice Board responsible for both the operation and the provision of youth justice services.[4] The Boardà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s primary aim as set out in s.37(1) of the CDA was to à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“..prevent offending by children and young personsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ [5] When sentencing a young offender, consideration of the young personà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s welfare needs (as outlined in s44 of the Children and Young Personà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Act 1933) will be paramount but other considerations such as protecting the public from further harm, reforming the offender from committing further acts of crime and allowing the public (including the victim) to have confidence in the criminal justice system will also be taken into account.[6] The youth court will not recommend a community punishment order unless it can be certain that this is the right path for the young offender to reintegrate himself into the community and is convinced that a custodi al sentence would only seek to destroy this reintegration. The court must also be sure that the young offender will be able to carry out the punishment of unpaid work, for it is not an easy option as commonly quoted by young people and the public itself. According to Cavadino and Dignan in 1997,[7] community punishment orders were used as an aid to reducing the prison population, and as discussed later, the very scope of community punishment has been reflected as being à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“insufficiently punitiveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ . [8] However, once the courts have sentenced the young person to a community punishment order, it is then up to the agencies responsible for the supervision of the young offender to be careful in ensuring that no conflicts of timing are made in respect of the personà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s religious beliefs or any work/schooling schedule.[9] A convicted teenager may well view his sentence in this respect as being of relative ease to him, considering heavy demands of unpaid à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“workà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  will not interfere with his à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“hecticà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  scheduleà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ . Indeed, Davies et al in their 1996 text on Criminal Justice illustrated the contempt some magistrates demonstrated on the very à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“punishmentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  they had passed sentence on.[10] à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not structured enoughthey come and go as they pleaseà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“They tend to lose credibility when we have breach hearingsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦you hear how the administrator has bent over backwards in accepting excuses (in not completing the work allocated to them)à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  This view counters the very aim of community punishment orders, in that they are supposed to have a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“just desertsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  tag attached to them when they are handed down, or to simplify, are meant to punish the offender for his criminal activity. However a young offender is to be punished for his criminal behaviour, the primary aim of the agencies involved has always been the welfare of that very individual, on account of his à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“childà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  status. Society and the courts in modern times have recognised that the influences and actions a child participates in before adulthood will usually impress upon him through adult life, which is why the youth courts have to be careful in how they dispense justice upon a convicted young offender in relation to a community service sentence. It is the requirement of the Youth Justice Board and the associated Young Offenderà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Teams to prevent acts of crime before a child is immersed so deeply in criminal activity or an offence committed is so serious that it is only a matter of time before a youth court hearing is inevitable. Prosecution is viewed as a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“last resortà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  leaving many victims in despair as the youth continues t o offend depending on his attitude to the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“softly, softlyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  method. This rehabilitative approach has often been seen as treating offenders with à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“kid glovesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  or condoning the anti-social behaviour of young offenders. Indeed, there are many steps to encounter before a juvenile may find himself in front of a youth court, including programmes such as mentoring, a parenting order where the offenderà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s parents attend classes on how to improve their disciplinary skills and activities for young people (which have often been reported in the media as rewarding bad behaviour with free outings and holidays). According to the youth justice board[11], these preventative activities are to re-educate the young offender, to re-engage teenagers in their local community in regards to education, employment or training and to encourage them in developing their own role as an individual with understanding to their actions and behaviour. It is recognised in a survey conducted by MORI[12] that young offenders, who are low achievers academically or have been sidelined from the compulsory education system, are the group most at risk in their likelihood to commit crime. When conducting their survey, MORI discovered that peer pressure and committing crime because it was à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“funà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  or because they were à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“boredà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  were among the greatest reasons why the offender decided in their actions to illicit criminal activity.[13] So what are the alternatives available if the preventative actions should fail, and the offender before a youth court is deemed unsuitable for a community punishment order? Close in range to a punishment order is community rehabilitation and punishment orders whereby the offender is required to undertake the following: to be of good behaviour and lead an industrious lifeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦ to inform the supervisor of changes in address, or employment; and to comply with the supervisorà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s orders for visits and in reporting to the officer when required. The above as outlined in Emmins on Criminal Procedure[14], are standard requirements of the offender, and are available for a period between six months to three years. It must be noted that these orders are only for à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“matureà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  teenagers over the age of 16 years, where it is hoped they à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“appreciateà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  the opportunity being given them as a chance of rehabilitation from a life of crime (with the possibility of a custodial sentence). In all essence though, this order is to be seen as a deterrent with a means of protecting the public from further harm by the convicted youth. Other community based punishments are available for the courtà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s consideration, depending on the offenderà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s suitability, and age, though they are not dependant on the element of unpaid work for the duration of the sentence. We will consider each of the following in turn. A curfew order is a requirement for the offender to rem ain in a specified place for a number of hours as agreed by the court. Usually in the form of an à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“electronic tagà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  to ensure the offender complies, this order is regulated by the PCC (S) Act 2000, s.37 and is available in youth courts. It is often viewed as a restriction of liberty, regulating movements of the offender, though this type of punishment is not solely used for an offence which is normally punishable by imprisonment. The curfew order has a maximum duration of six months, and is extendable for a monitoring period of between two to twelve hours daily (half this if the offender is aged under 16). Theoretically, according to Stone in his sentencing text, this could add up to a punishment total of 2,184 hours, 9.1 times the length of a community punishment order.[15] Primarily used in youth courts, attendance centre orders has attracted little controversy since their inclusion as a community based punishment, originally under the Criminal Justic e Act, 1991.[16] It is not extensively used, as it has a limited age range, and little is required of the offender apart from attending a centre during his/her free leisure time, presumably to prevent them from being à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“boredà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  and being pushed into further acts of criminal activity by their own mindset or peer pressure. The order can be made for a period from twelve up to a maximum of thirty-six hours for a youth between the ages of 16-20 years. Supervision orders introduced by the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969 is a flexible method of à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“punishmentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  and has a wider scope for pertaining to the complex needs of young offenders. Stone[17] argues that it is an appropriate sentence when the individual on the receiving end has complex needs and requires in-depth assessment. This may be more useful when there are à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“reasonsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  behind the criminal act, and the individual has behavioural problems that is not only limited to being subject to influence by their peers, or because they were à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“inactive and boredà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ . However, the negative aspect to this sentence is that an individual cannot be changed à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“overnightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  when the supervision order is for a limited period of duration. Also, several agency initiatives, such as social workers, police and probation officers need to collaborate with each other to ensure the aims of the order are being met. With stretched resources; this is less likely to happen. Under s69(3) of the PCC(S)A 2000, a sentence can be passed in the form of an Action Plan, if the court is satisfied that this would be the appropriate means to rehabilitate and prevent the commission of further criminal acts by him/her. This is only available to offenders under the age of 18, and cannot be used in conjunction with any other community based sentence. Available for a limited period up to three months, the juvenile attend s meetings twice a week under the National Standards for Youth Justice guidelines. Under s 69(1)(b) of the 2000 Act, the offender is placed under the supervision of an appropriate officer, and must comply with that officerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s requests in order for the plan to be implemented to a successful conclusion. The action plan order has an element not attached to any other community based orders in that the offender must comply with the courtà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s/officerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s demands that he/she stay away from a named area and arrangements for his/her education must also be satisfied, presumably that the offender maintains a good attendance record and behaves accordingly to that effect. Also the court has an option to fix a review hearing to check on the progress of the juvenile concerned. This shows that the courts may not always be convinced of the action planà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s objectives if its officials require reassurance that the plan has rehabilitated the o ffender.[18] Fines are a means of monetary punishment to remind the offender that he has done wrong (R v Olliver, 1989)[19], though the negative aspect of this is that fines usually have to be à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“chased upà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  through the court bailiffs if they are not paid, and if the offender is under 18, then the duty falls to the parent to pay, where in reality this is punishing the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“innocentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  party who is not in the dock for the crime in the first place. With this wide variety of punishments available to the youth courts, their influence is likely to be affected by the pre-sentence report that is mandatory under the CJA 1991. Easton and Piper in their text, Sentencing and Punishment discovered that much depends on the structure and quality of the report being made to the presiding judge. Indeed, their view is that 40% of reports in high-custody areas were poor or unsatisfactory. So, what does this mean for the young offender who is in t he dock of a youth court, found guilty of a crime and about to be sentenced? The MORI report shows that in the recent year of 2004, a high number of young people committed another crime after being caught by the police for their previous offence.[20] When questioned by MORI what their attitude were to committing crime, 40% of those who took part in the survey stated their primary concern was their parentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s reaction, closely followed by the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“fearà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  of being arrested.[21] With community punishments often being viewed as à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“softà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  and something to boast about between their friends as if it is a badge of respect that they have à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“earnedà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ , or that they à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“got off lightlyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ , there is a real danger that instead of being seen as a second chance to turn their lives round, the community sentences carry little weight in the criminal justice system for juvenile offender s. Easton and Piper[22] point out that in the future, the Action Plan order will seek to encompass all the bewildering array of community punishments, will run for a period of 1-12 months with several interventions from a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“menuà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  which will include the options of mentoring, fines and reparation.[23] The way forward, according to the Home Office is the concentration on supervision orders, with the added combination of a reparation order as laid down in the Crime and Disorder Act, 1998. Implementing this in 2001, the Youth Justice Board developed an Intense Supervision and Surveillance Programme (ISSP), utilising electronic means and human resources to deal with any non-compliance issues. The effect of the order is to attain some form of educational achievements and for the offender to gain an understanding and remorse for his actions.[24] Easton and Piper illustrate the dangers of increasing restrictive regimes on young offenders where reliability is on the resources to implement these programmes. Without the resources, the reduction of juvenile crime remains to be seen. Not only that, but without a structured life and a lack of self-control due to parental irresponsibility,[25] juvenile crime may continue to be a common occurrence in todayà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s society.

Analysis Of Devin Copeland V. Justin Bieber - 1529 Words

â€Å"Somebody to Love†: Devin Copeland v. Justin Bieber As an artist, the protection of all intellectual property created for distribution should be a priority. The type of protection this case focuses on is the protection granted by copyright. When a piece of work is copyrighted, the copyright grants the creator the exclusive right to use and distribute the piece for the duration of their life plus 70 years. As a creator, copyrighting completed art before disclosing the art with any other interests is very beneficial when proving ownership in a federal court proceeding. Devin Copeland v. Justin Bieber is a case that is based around the copyrights to a song entitled â€Å"Somebody to Love†. The facts will be introduced, followed by the issues that arose in court, then the courts analysis of those issues, closing with the lessons learned to be applied to the future of Planet Florida Artist Managements business ventures.

Congressional Authorization And Constitutional Powers Essay

Introduction: Congressional Authorization and Constitutional Powers Congressional authorization is the ability to empower and allocate funds, which supports Congress with an effective tool for omission and authority of intelligence activities. Congress is expected to have more power than the President and the Supreme Court. Its powers are also known to be Constitutional as well as evolutionary (ushistory). After the Senate as well as the House of Representatives approves a bill or proposed law, it then becomes an actual law. These two houses also share other powers, that involve coin money, the power to declare war, establishing rules of naturalization as well as immigration, raise an army and a navy, regulate commerce, and set up the federal courts along with their jurisdictions (ushistory). Although Presidents can have authority to act without Congressional authorization when necessary for the nations security, it would be better if they did seek Congressional authorization before acting or making any important decision regarding the nations securi ty, in order to preserve Constitutional checks and balances, as well as make the right decisions and protect the President politically.

Rose explains how Rosie devised elaborate memory strategies while grouping and sequencing tasks in her head to become more efficient to â€Å"make every move count (97). Rosie used critical thinking skills to solve problems that arose, at an instant while taking into account the emotional state of her co-workers. Rose explains how Rosie became fluent at reading social cues and managing feelings of the costumer’s and her own to increase her chances of getting a bigger tip.

As Joe worked on the assembly line and General Motors, he learned to be more efficient with his body by acquiring a set of routines that were quick but preserved his energy. Joe became a consummate multi-tasker while keeping a cool head under excruciating production schedules. Joe was able to study, up close, technological and social dynamics, machinery and production processes as well as paint chemistry. Because of this, Joe â€Å"not only Shimizu ! 2 solved problems but found problems to solve†(99). Joe states that the shop floor provided what school did not. â€Å"It was like Schooling. You’re constantly learning†(99). Rose contends certification of diverse intelligence does not result in a tender mind. To recognize and accept a wide range of intellectual capacity is to effectively apply cognitive thinking. A person must appreciate the work of the mind that strives for accomplishment thus shaping that person’s personality. Rose concludes that a mind capable of applying its entire self, even without formal education, to seek out and solve problems while constantly learning something new, is a mind worthy of a democratic society. I, personally, agree with Rose’s argument. I believe that hands on experience, depending on the ability of one’s mind to adapt, may be more effective than learning through a book first. I believe one learns by doing. As I grew up, I was always taught, â€Å"you’ll never know until you try. † This, I never fully understood until I had come across problems of my own. I was able to read, and study things pertaining to my problem but never really solved the problem until I â€Å"tried†. Taking the problem and putting my handwork and knowledge to use created better results than reading and studying the problem alone. I’ve discovered over the years that one can never fully understand how any object or idea works until it has been physically applied or broken down. I believe that one can only learn through experience and experience can only be gained through trial and error. In accordance to Rose’s assumptions, I believe that even without formal teaching, the human brain always has the ability to absorb and process thing. One would only have to allow their brain to do so. Humans grow through hands-on experience. Without this experience, our generation would not be as evolved as it is. Shimizu ! 3 Rose explains that a mind willing to experience and attempt enhancement shapes the mind bearer’s personality. Character is built through experience. Taking the idea, â€Å"you’ll never know until you try†, and applying it to every day life shapes how a person thinks and views the world. Rosie observed her fellow employees and costumers but never learned how to cope with them until she â€Å"tried†. She experience what worked or did not work with the problems she faced, as for Joe too. They took the knowledge obtained through hands-on observation, devised a possible solution, applied it, and experienced first hand the results. In a way, they completed the perfect scientific method without even knowing it. Mike Rose observed his family and realized that â€Å"brilliance† does not necessarily come from a book, but from hands-on experience. This hands-on experience is what allows society to evolve. If knowledge is never applied, the society is stuck. The drive to solve problems, become more efficient, and make things easier should be instilled in every mind, thus allowing every mind to observe, hypothesize, and apply even without formal knowledge.
