Week 2: “The Last Acceptable Prejudice.”
The last acceptable prejudice mainly focuses on the fact that states that there are potential positive and negative impacts of the Criminal Justice System. The comparative study mainly focuses on the idea that deals with positivism to understand crime. It is an unusual form to learn about the twist that this chapter deals with the experiences on a relevant note that informs the predictions regarding the concepts of Criminal Justice to be made on a negative as well as a positive aspect to learn about More God, Less Crime. Apart from this, Johnson gives advice related to Christianity, as he belongs to a close-knit Christian family. Apart from this, Christianity plays a vital role within the workplace as this has helped the organization to develop itself while learning about the job parole to work for the Tennessee Department of Corrections. Hence, this article mainly relates with detail that deprived on the theory that the pursuit of education and training given to people within the workplace to under the negative and positive impacts of criminology (Johnson, 2011). Therefore, Criminal Justice Department at Memphis shall fall by the year 1986, engages with teaching, research, and services. Therefore, the interaction with the Christian Faculty Fellowship could evaluate the working structure. Thus, I agree with the words that are mentioned in Johnson’s advice that covert Christianity within the working atmosphere. This is because this relieves the soul and helps to increase the metabolism rate so that the body can function well. Isaiah 53:9 and Genesis 49:5 mainly delved into the instrument to reduce crime and violence to gain divinity. Apart from this, learning Christian hymns often help one to get relieved and motivated at the workplace. Hence, this stimulates the working culture and helps to energize the people within the workplace as mentioned by Johnson, in “The Last Acceptable Prejudice” (Johnson, 2011).
Compared with the schools of thought in Criminology mainly focuses on the idea of the school that deals with being positivist, the thoughts that influence criminal policy. Therefore, one often tries to find the details about the committing criminal attempt which can be likely to be prey to mental health issues or cause social and environmental problems. Therefore, all are punished for something the same or similar crime ventures. Therefore, there are certain people, who are often rehabilitated for a crime who should receive a harsher punishment.
The different crime-controlling strategies can are likely to be:
Project Safe Neighbourhoods (PSN): PSN was launched in the year 2001, to measure the crime rate in the local areas. Here, crime is the actual point that is tried to be mitigated. Thus, launching this program shall help to reduce crime which can articulate the principles to foster trust and legitimacy within the communities.
Community-Oriented Policing: This is a set of organizational frameworks, which mainly encourage different changes to prevent society to be injured by crime. Therefore, community-oriented policing mainly comprises three key components, that is community involvement, organizational transformation, and lastly, it is problem-solving methods.
Hot Spot policing: Facilitate the innovation of hot spot policing mainly deprived of the crime-ridden theory based on the advanced geographic understanding that trends within the jurisdiction to concentrate with the interventions.
As compared with Bern’s biblical model which consisted of the three models with three-component. However, Bern’s theory mainly focuses on the theory, that deals with requiring law and justice on a foundational model. Therefore, this sets forth the Biblical requisites to learn about substantive law with proper administration. Hence, the jurisdiction consideration mainly develops a detailed idea based on the Civil Government, within the context of jurisdiction (Bern, 1995). Moreover, apparent knowledge with a jurisdictional consideration based on the component with an indecisive question that Civil Government with jurisdiction to act. Moreover, the positivist school of criminology takes up a different position which establishes rational independence to understand the quantification of criminal behavior. Therefore, this can be concluded that positivism geared under the uniform offender distinguishes criminal conduct with Classical school focus on retribution. Therefore, Christianity plays a significant role, that helps to reduce the crime rate to mitigate criminal behavior.
