Document Summary
Policy making in the criminal justice system is dominated by the ideas of classical. Seen present in: law enforcement, court, correction. 36% of motorist think it"s fine/safe to drive 20mph over the speed limit. Deterrence can result simply by having a police car present. People slow down when they see a squad car, heart rate quickens, etc. Routine activities theory: motivated offenders will be less likely to commit an offense if there is a presence of guardianship add police to a specific location = reduced crime. Maryland report: discovered that 2billion dollars per year goes toward policing which is. Way more than any funds given toward other crime prevention institution. Scared straight: (1970"s) prisoners talk to youth about the realities of this kind of life it is supposed to scare delinquents from turning to a criminal life. ***maryland report found that this doesn"t actually work.
