Criminal Justice, law homework help
PART 1
In Missouri v. Seibert (2004), the Court held that giving the Miranda warning only after the police obtain an unwarned confession violates the Miranda rule. As a result of this decision, statements made after the Miranda warning is given are not admissible even if these statements repeat those given before the Miranda warning was read to the suspect. In an earlier case, Oregon v. Elstad, the Court admitted a confession obtained after the police gave the Miranda warning—even though the suspect had previously made statements before the warning was given.
Imagine you are a police officer investigating a domestic violence case. You received a call that a man hit his wife in the face with a closed fist, causing injury. You arrived at the scene and locate the suspect in question. You handcuff him and put him in the back of your patrol car. You ask him if he hit his wife in the face. He states to you that he just “lost control” and did not mean to hurt her. He tells you that he is sorry for hitting her and will never do it again.
Once at the police station, your sergeant tells you to make sure you get plenty of information in the confession statement from the suspect to put into the arrest report. You provide the suspect with his Miranda warning and ask him to go into detail about the incident and him losing control. He tells you the whole story from the beginning and again states that he had no intention of hurting his wife.
Instructions
For this discussion, locate a case on point with the Seibert or Elstad case.
In this post, address the following in 250-300 words:
•Analyze admissibility of the suspect’s confessions in the scenario provided before and after Miranda warning was given to the suspect.
•Determine whether the ruling in the case you researched aligns or conflicts with Seibert or Elstad.
•Articulate whether you agree with the court’s rationale regarding the admissibility of statements made by a suspect in your selected case, and why.
•Explore how you feel the Miranda warning would impact your decision making if you were a police officer.
Be sure to support your position with the case law you located.

PART 2
Parole involves inmate release before the expiration of the court-imposed sentence, with a period of inmate supervision that must be completed successfully, based on conditions and terms imposed by the commission. Parole affects the size of the prison population and discipline within the facility. Parole remains controversial, and has experienced a number of changes over the years.
Suppose you have been selected for the commission of corrections for the state in which you reside. In that capacity, you have been asked to develop criteria for parole release in your state. You want to ensure key stakeholder positions are accounted for in your determinations.
For this discussion post, address the following in 250-300 words:
•Determine four criteria for parole release that you would propose.
•Explain the rationale behind your parole release criteria determinations.
•Predict three potential implications associated with the parole release criteria; one to the inmate, one to corrections staff, and one to society.

PART 3
There are many rationalizations for the imposition of restrictions on parolees. There is a readjustment period. Society has a vested interest in setting parolees up for success in the transition from incarceration to free society. Understanding incarceration and related impacts is important. Those making the transitions can encounter social, economic, psychological, religious, moral, and ethical challenges. Most prisoners are not properly prepared for entrance into the community. Reentry problems help explain why most parole failures take place after release, often within the first six months.
Three forces influence the released offender’s adjustment to free society. Those forces are the parole officer, the parole bureaucracy, and the experiences of the offender. Suppose you have been tasked with exploring contributions that can help to set the offender up for success with the transition.
In this discussion post, address the following in 250-300 words:
•Lay out three best practices a parole officer can undertake to elevate the potential for parolee success post-release.
•Summarize how parole bureaucracy can adversely impact parolee success.
•Lay out two adjustments for addressing impediments to success at the parole bureaucracy level.
•Correlate two ways offender experience prerelease can impact the potential for post-release success.
