The goals are often jointly incompatible and must be prioritized. A very essential example is the prohibiting of illegally obtained facts. When this is done, the objective of defending civil liberties is served but the aim of finding the truth and shielding public safety are denied. The problem becomes what are the main concerns. The result is that criminal justice reforms have been a mixture of programs that serve dissimilar, often unequal, goals, leaving Taiwan's bench uncertain of what its objectives are and in what order they are to be pursued (Kennedy, 2003).
Another primary aspect of reform that seems to be forbidden is any contemplation of the costs of different criminal justice reforms. In the course of figuring out the new reforms there was never any cost analysis or cost projection done to find out what economic impact the new customized adversarial system or any of the other reform programs would have. While it is admirable to take the position, as the Judicial Yuan seems to have, that money does not matter and that Taiwan must have a system that is just and progressive, this position is not realistic in a time of declining revenues and general economic slowdown. Cost issues naturally tie in with manpower issues. One of the major problems with the proposed reforms is that the modified adversarial system places a huge new burden on a prosecution system that is already stretched as thin as it will go. Taiwanese prosecutors are responsible for a much wider range of tasks than their American counterparts (Kennedy, 2003).
The modified adversarial system, with its demand that the prosecutor have primary responsibility for the in-court presentation of the case, adds a major increase in the prosecutor's workload. A rough estimate is that for the new system to function, approximately a third more prosecutors would be needed. But there are no indications that any significant number of new prosecutors is to be added anytime soon. Beyond the fundamental problems of what are the priorities...
Policy Analysis: Interior Enforcement of the Employment of Immigrants Criminal Justice History of the Problem and Need for Change Problem Scope. In 2004, three U.S. companies were issued penalty notices by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for knowingly employing unauthorized workers (Porter, 2006). At the time, demographers estimated that six to seven million illegal immigrants were employed in the America -- that number is approximately equivalent to 5% of the U.S.
Criminal Justice IT It is becoming very clear how much of an impact the newest technological advances have on the world. For example, consider how quickly the information spread via the social media about Osama bin Laden's death. Technology innovations are also greatly impacting the criminal justice system in the U.S. By providing significant improvements in the way that agencies find, process, share and utilize information. With the present speed of
Other Implications If the issue of pant sagging is not addressed, it will lead to public dissatisfaction, especially from people who have raised concerns. It will also continue the implications on black men as being disrespectful gangsters, or as Cosby says (middle class blacks who are disrespected and despised gangsters, whose egregious behavior is sagging pants). It will also continue the implication that the black represent some unified community which is

In that regard, sentences imposed for crack cocaine are so much harsher that approximately 100 times as much powdered cocaine is required to approach the sentences imposed in connection with crack cocaine offenses. This issue is particularly relevant to the disparity inherent in mandatory sentencing and arbitrariness in sentencing, especially since dealers in powdered cocaine are much more likely higher up on the supply chain than distributors of crack cocaine
