Book Synopsis Victims and Plea Negotiations by : Arie Freiberg
Download or read book Victims and Plea Negotiations written by Arie Freiberg and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores victims’ views of plea negotiations and the level of input that they desire. It draws on the empirical findings of the first in-depth study of victims and plea negotiations conducted in Australia. Over the last 50 years, the criminal justice system has seen major changes in both the role that victims play in the justice process and in how the vast majority of criminal cases are finalised. Guilty pleas have become the norm, and many of these result from negotiations between the prosecutor and the defence. The extent to which the victim is one of the participating parties in plea negotiations however, is a question of law and of practice. Drawing from focus groups and surveys with victims of crime, Victims and Plea Negotiations seeks to privilege victims’ voices and lived experiences of plea negotiations, to present their perspectives on five options for enhanced participation in this legal process. This book appeals to academics and students in the areas of law, criminology, sociology, victimology and legal studies, those who practice in the criminal justice system generally, those who work with victims, and policy makers.
Book Synopsis Has the Concept of Plea Bargaining Been Abused in Nigeria's Criminal Justice System? by : Ehi Esoimeme
Download or read book Has the Concept of Plea Bargaining Been Abused in Nigeria's Criminal Justice System? written by Ehi Esoimeme and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the overburdened criminal justice system, the vast majority of criminal cases are settled through a process known as plea bargaining. In a plea bargain deal, both sides gain something from the arrangement. The prosecution gains a conviction without the time and expense of a trial, while the defendant might get a reduced sentence or have some of the charges against him dropped. In some cases, for example, the prosecution will offer a plea deal so that the victim does not have to go through the drama and stress of testifying at a trial. This paper is going to start by first defining what plea bargaining is. After defining it, it will give a brief introduction as to the history and nature of plea bargaining. Then it will discuss extensively on its application in Nigeria and conclude on whether or not plea bargaining has been abused in Nigeria's Criminal Justice System.

Book Synopsis Betrayal of Due Process by : Hedieh Nasheri
Download or read book Betrayal of Due Process written by Hedieh Nasheri and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1998 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Betrayal of Due Process is a landmark study of the criminal justice systems of two common-law nations, the United States and Canada. By focusing on plea bargaining, which is one of the most dominant practices in the criminal justice system of both countries, Nasheri makes a historical comparison of guilty plea practices and ideologies. She draws on historical, criminological, sociological, and political perspectives to construct her argument. Because plea bargaining is a crucial part of the criminal justice system yet has received little scholarly attention, this much-needed book fills a wide gap in legal scholarship.
Book Synopsis The Ethics of Plea Bargaining by : Richard L. Lippke
Download or read book The Ethics of Plea Bargaining written by Richard L. Lippke and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of plea bargaining plays a hugely significant role in the adjudication of criminal charges and has provoked intense debate about its legitimacy. This book offers the first full-length philosophical analysis of the ethics of plea bargaining. It develops a sustained argument for restrained forms of the practice and against the free-wheeling versions that predominate in the United States. In countries that have endorsed plea bargains, such as the United States, upwards of ninety percent of criminal defendants plead guilty rather than go to trial. Yet trials, which grant a presumption of innocence to defendants and place a substantial burden of proof on the state to establish guilt, are widely regarded as the most appropriate mechanisms for fairly and accurately assigning criminal sanctions. How is it that many countries have abandoned the formal rules and rigorous standards of public trials in favor of informal and veiled negotiations between state officials and criminal defendants concerning the punishment to which the latter will be subjected? More importantly, how persuasive are the myriad justifications that have been provided for plea bargaining? These are the questions addressed in this book. Examining the legal processes by which individuals are moved through the criminal justice system, the fairness of those processes, and the ways in which they reproduce social inequality, this book offers an ethical argument for restrained forms of plea bargaining. It also provides a comparison between the different plea bargaining regimes that exist within the US, where it is well-established, England and Wales, where the practice is coming under considerable critique, and the European Union, where debate continues on whether it coheres with inquisitorial legal regimes. It suggests that rewards for admitting guilt are distinguished from penalties for exercising the right to trial, and argues for modest, fixed sentence reductions for defendants who admit their guilt. These suggestions for reform include discouraging the current practice of deliberate over-charging by prosecutors and charge bargaining, and require judges to scrutinize more closely the evidence against those accused of crimes before any guilty pleas are entered by them. Arguing that the negotiation of charges and sentences should remain the exception, not the rule, it nevertheless puts forward a normative defense for the reform and retention of the plea bargaining system.

Book Synopsis Plea Bargaining’s Triumph by : George Fisher
Download or read book Plea Bargaining’s Triumph written by George Fisher and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though originally an interloper in a system of justice mediated by courtroom battles, plea bargaining now dominates American criminal justice. This book traces the evolution of plea bargaining from its beginnings in the early nineteenth century to its present pervasive role. Through the first three quarters of the nineteenth century, judges showed far less enthusiasm for plea bargaining than did prosecutors. After all, plea bargaining did not assure judges “victory”; judges did not suffer under the workload that prosecutors faced; and judges had principled objections to dickering for justice and to sharing sentencing authority with prosecutors. The revolution in tort law, however, brought on a flood of complex civil cases, which persuaded judges of the wisdom of efficient settlement of criminal cases. Having secured the patronage of both prosecutors and judges, plea bargaining quickly grew to be the dominant institution of American criminal procedure. Indeed, it is difficult to name a single innovation in criminal procedure during the last 150 years that has been incompatible with plea bargaining’s progress and survived.

Book Synopsis The Use of Plea Bargaining in the United States' Criminal Justice System by : Briana DeLong
Download or read book The Use of Plea Bargaining in the United States' Criminal Justice System written by Briana DeLong and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the use of plea bargaining in the United States' criminal justice system. With only 10% of criminal cases being resolved through trial, bargaining is widely used as a means of obtaining quicker convictions. Since plea bargaining received constitutional recognition in Brady v. U.S. (1970), guidelines have been formed to regulate the use of pleas. These guidelines are included in the Federal Rules for Criminal Procedure, American Bar Association, and local court rules. Although plea bargaining has been well established in the United States' criminal justice system, issues concerning its use still arise: these include victim participation, effectiveness, and ethics of negotiations. This paper will examine the issues and critiques of the process, while also discussing possible resolutions to such problems. Overall, a synopsis is provided of the use of plea bargaining as a means to resolve criminal cases.
Book Synopsis 'Plea Bargaining by : Jacqueline Hodgson
Download or read book 'Plea Bargaining written by Jacqueline Hodgson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plea and sentence bargaining is characterized by several general features that we might recognize as common across a range of jurisdictions and procedural traditions. It requires an admission of guilt from the accused; the accused is offered some reward, incentive or advantage, either in exchange for, or as a result of the plea; and there is some benefit to the criminal justice system - typically the avoidance of a more lengthy and expensive contested trial. The point in the criminal process at which these negotiations are initiated, the personnel involved, and the relative incentives and benefits available will of course differ. In some instances, explicit bargains are struck between prosecutor and defense lawyer; in others, there is direct judicial involvement; and in others, the system benefit may operate as an implicit reward, without any explicit bargaining taking place.
