Part 1) 1- Please read this article from last week on the NYT website. You should have access to 3 free articles per month, and if you cant open it try doing so in a private browser. Please discuss this article including the effects of crime on politics, who has ultimate control over crime policy, and whether you think this trend if crime being a major political issue for voters will increase in future elections. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/04/upshot/crime-midterms-election-2022.html?ref=oembed
2- Plea and Charge Bargaining
In New York City over 98% of cases are settled by a plea bargain, not a trial. During a plea bargain, the defendant gives up certain rights including the right to a trial, to call witnesses in their defense, to challenge evidence, the right to an appeal, and a variety of other constitutional rights. In exchange for pleading guilty and saving the Prosecutor’s office the expenses, human resources, and time of going to trials which can take weeks or months, the person is offered a more lenient sentence. Giving up one’s right to a trial in order to receive a lighter sentence in known as the “trial penalty” and many have argued that people are being pressured into waiving these and other rights by prosecutors who hold all of the cards. In the case where a person does not want to admit their guilty and instead opts for a trial, prosecutors have historically sought a much harsher sentence that carries substantially more prison time. A critique of the Khalief Browder case, and others, is that defendants are pressured into taking a plea because the costs of going to trial are so high.
At the same time, trials are imperfect, can still result in wrongful convictions and longer sentences, and often take years to be scheduled as lawyers are busy and dockets are full. Many argue that there is simply no realistic alternative to plea bargains and that if everyone had a trial the system would explode.
1) Read the PDF ” Plea and Charge Bargaining” on the Materials Page first.
2) Then read the article from the Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/innocence-is-irrelevant/534171/and listen to the Voir Dire Podcast “The Trial Penalty” for questions about NYC.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/voir-dire-conv…
Answer the following questions.
From “Plea and Charge Bargaining” What are the summary findings of the study of Federal Plea Bargains? What are the Policy Implications?
Given that there are hundreds of thousands of arrests in NYC every year, is it reasonable to completely do away with plea bargains? If everyone got “their day in court” what might happen?
Do you believe that prosecutors have too much discretion and that defendants incur a “trial penalty”? How might this be made more fair?
Your textbook argues that with “bargained justice” (Plea Bargains), victims are often disappointed as those who commit serious crimes are able to receive relatively light sentences. How does plea bargaining contribute to both excessive convictions and wrongful convictions as well as criminals escaping justice for serious crimes that injure members of society. Can we reconcile this contradiction under the existing system?
3)Read the PDF on Blackboard entitles “Bail Discovery and Speedy Trial Reform”. What changed in New York’s criminal procedure law in 2020 and why? Why was the former system considered unfair?
Read the following article about Bail reform https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/new-yorks-latest-bail-law-changes-explained what was changed under the law and what crimes are now eligible for bail?
Part 2) 1- Discuss Shane Bauer’s Piece “My Four Months as a Private Prison Guard”. What is his central argument? How did working at the private prison change him? Can private prisons be reformed or should they be closed? What were some of the issues the author raised with the private prison system? What does John Pfaff say about private prisons in “Locked In.”

My Four Months as a Private Prison Guard: A Mother Jones Investigation

2) Watch and discuss the content of the “College Behind Bars” Documentary on Netflix. What parts of this film did you find the most interesting? Do you think this program should be expanded? What other programs can we offer to people behind bars who may not be interested in education? Is it worth funding these programs? If so, how do we get public support for this?

1. Select a current or past case. Please include a link to the article or case in your assignment. I want to write about a notorious killer in California name jaime osuna
2. Create your own client intake form for criminal matters.
If you are drafting an intake form for the defense- your intake will be of accused.
3. On 2/26 I will put you in breakout rooms so that you can practice your intake with one of your classmates who will play the role of the person you are interviewing. You will also pretend to be the interviewee so that they can practice their intake on you.
4. When we return to the group sessions be prepared to present to the group what question you thought worked well and what you would like to re-work.
What should be in the client intake
Client identifying information
Contact Information
Background ( employment and criminal)
Case information
Case specific questions ( you have standard question you will ask in every case but certain situations may require you to get to ask different questions in order for the attorney to evaluate or get started on the case.)
How will I be graded (100 pts)
1. On time (if you miss class or need to miss class don’t worry you can do your client intake with me at a later date or with a friend / or family member and just send me a recording of it)
2. Content -Client Info
3. Content -Matter specific questions
4. Organization /length (2 pages is good and probably the maxim length for an intake. You don’t want it to be too long)
5. Practice interview
Notes
Have fun with this assignment. Think about what we have covered so far in class. What questions could you ask to determine whether the accused would qualify for reduced bail if they are still incarcerated or if they qualify for a pre-trial rehabilitative program like drug court? If you are interviewing a victim or witness, the minute they open their mouth to you the may be in danger. What kinds of questions could you ask them during intake that would helpful to secure their safety and future cooperation. Remember time is of an essence in criminal cases your inability to do a thorough intake could have dire consequences to someone’s safety or freedom.
You can you use the sample client intake posted here and in week 5 coursework to get your started but remember…..this is a “basic” intake. I want to see you go a step further. The goal is to get them talking. You may be the 1st and if it doesn’t go well the only person the witness/ victim / defendant sees from your firm/ office/ agency. You are the 1st impression!
I will give 10 extra credit points to anyone who corrects their client intake forms. The goal is for you to leave this class with a form that is ready for use in the field.

Please answer both of the following Discussion Questions (they should be clearly # and placed in a single post, one on top of the other):
1. After reading the attached article discuss the First Opium War and the role that the Western powers played in spreading and controlling the use of opium in China and other areas during that time period.

(Image from open source: https://www.govexec.com)
2. In conducting additional research outside of the weekly readings, within recent years, many of our top elected officials and law enforcement agencies have condemned what is seen as a huge increase in Chinese illegal drug involvement/importation including Fentanyl and other powerful narcotics being trafficked in the U.S. and other parts of the western hemisphere. While on the other side some Chinese supporters have asked how is this any different than what the west did to China in the early years
Does such an argument hold water…why or why not? Also if you think it does merit a comparison…does two wrongs make a right?
Course Objective(s):
CO2: Examine the impact of the First Opium War and the role that England, France, and the United States played in the proliferation of opium in the Far East
CO3: Examine how world events led to the proliferation of opium around the globe

A manager of an emergency response team is responsible for emergency management

A manager of an emergency response team is responsible for emergency management services and resources. Their duties include routinely planning for responses to incidents that require communication with law enforcement agencies at multiple levels. For a city to host sizeable events, it needs to establish working relationships between agencies to execute incident response plans successfully.
Emergency management is not the sole responsibility of one individual government or private organization. The federal government and each state, along with its different counties and cities, share the responsibility for planning, managing, and responding to disaster events within their jurisdictions. Private sector organizations also play a vital role in augmenting government agencies during disaster recovery. When these organizations come together to manage an emergency, a standard is required to ensure that each organization works effectively with the others and has a shared understanding of key terms and response options for managing incidents effectively. FEMA established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to standardize how personnel from multiple agencies plan and work together during and following an emergency incident.
ScenarioA city in your state of residence is planning to host a concert that is expected to bring in several thousand people for the event. City planners will be managing the security and emergency services during the concert and will be meeting with the other agencies involved to finalize the plan for the event. Before they do, they have asked local agencies to present their plans for responding to different incidents that may occur. As the manager at your agency, you have been tasked with presenting information on a specific type of incident for the city to consider during their emergency management preparations.
PreparationReview the FEMA EMI Course IS-700B: An Introduction to The National Incident Management System (NIMS) from Week 1 to become familiar with NIMS concepts, principles, and components.
Select a real city in your state that might host such an event. You may select a real or fictitious concert to use as an example, or you may focus on planning for a general concert situation.
Select an example of an incident likely to occur during the concert. Choose an incident with a realistic risk level that justifies having a city-level emergency response plan ready. Research standard procedures for responding to this kind of emergency incident.
Examples of realistic incidents include fights or riots, crowd surges or stampedes, active shooters or terrorist attacks, bomb threats or detonations, or fire or structural failures.
Select a real or fictitious agency that would be responsible for handling the type of incident you selected. Research the protocols that such an agency is likely to follow in this situation.
Assessment DeliverablePrepare a plan for responding to the type of incident you selected as if you were presenting to the city’s emergency service planners who will be managing the security and emergency services for the concert.

Using information from your research, create a 10- to 12-slide presentation as if you were an agency’s emergency planning manager explaining the relationships between governmental organizations using effective emergency management to respond to an incident that might occur during an event.
Include the following in your analysis of the relationships between emergency management agencies responding to an incident at a large event such as a concert:
Summarize the details of the example situation and incident that you selected. Identify the government agencies involved in managing emergency services for such an incident during this kind of event.
Explain how the government agencies plan to work together during the event if the incident should occur. Include the chain of command and standard policies and procedures used to manage this kind of incident.
Describe how the government agencies plan to communicate with each other during the emergency. Summarize the roles and responsibilities of each agency that would be involved in this kind of incident.
Identify the required FEMA training agencies may need to be ready to facilitate effective emergency response and communication during the event. Explain how management, communication, and collaboration between agencies during the incident align with the guidelines in the National Response Framework.
Cite at least 2 scholarly sources in your presentation as evidence to support your explanation.
