Choose a member of the criminal justice system who interacts directly with the public and state who you’ve chosen. (10 points). For example, a police officer, detective, defense attorney, prosecutor, victim/witness advocate, court officer, judge, court clerk, probation or parole officer, correctional officer, etc.
Then describe a typical hypothetical interaction that person may have with a member of the public (10 points), and discuss how the criminal justice system member can behave in a way that implements procedural justice.
Think about what makes a process fair or just; give the name of each of the four characteristics of a fair process (Trustworthy motives, Neutrality or impartiality, Public participation, and Dignity and respect) and describe behavior that illustrates each characteristic. (20 points each for a total of 80 points). Don’t use any examples used in the lecture; make up your own.
