Question.3832 - After reviewing the content on wrongful convictions, let's have a conversation about what we learned and how we can work to address the issue of wrongful convictions. Like most other issues, we need to first recognize the root/structural causes for this issue, and work from there to reform or rebuild. Share what you learned and your (informed) opinions by engaging with students on the topics below.After reviewing the learning materials for this week, answer the following questions in your original discussion post. Use the discussion board information and guidelines document Download discussion board information and guidelines document as a guide for your post & grading criteria. Reminder that to receive full credit, you must reply to at least 2 other students' posts. Here is some information on how to craft thoughtful response posts Download Here is some information on how to craft thoughtful response posts. Check out the rubric below to see how you'll be graded (the rubric stays the same for all discussion boards). Finally, remember to cite your sources in-text using APA format Download APA format!Choose two of the following questions to discuss in your post: It is clear that the direct victims in wrongful convictions are those who are convicted for a crime they did not commit. Describe how these individuals may be affected by their wrongful conviction in various ways. Remember to give examples from the learning materials. What are the other potential effects of a wrongful convictions, such as effects on the community, our CJ system, on the loved ones of victims (secondary victims), and others? Remember to give examples from the learning materials. In discussing wrongful convictions, we learned that wrongful convictions are actually quite common but often go undetected. This is more common for people of color, low-income, individuals with low social capital, etc. which shows that there is a level of institutional racism/discrimination that comes into play in making wrongful convictions. This is problematic, but even more so when we consider wrongful convictions in death row/capital punishment cases. Knowing the prevalence of wrongful convictions in capital cases and who is disproportionately wrongfully convicted, do you support capital punishment? Explain why or why not, with consideration of the wrongful incarceration rate. We are well-aware of the frequency of wrongful convictions and the common causes, yet they still happen at an alarming rate and are still happening with bias. The question of the week makes the suggestion that wrongful convictions are a state-perpetrated crime, meaning that the government, the system, and professionals representing the government (judges, prosecutors, lawmakers, etc.) are responsible for these crimes. Do you agree with this? Why or why not? If you do not think that wrongful convictions are state-perpetrated, who is responsible? How do we hold those responsible accountable for wrongful convictions? Research an organization working to address the issues covered this week. Explain the work they're doing, how this addresses the issue, and any recommendations you have for how they can build on this work further. Be sure to include the website.
