Critical Justice Process Case Study

1) From Module One; the Critical Justice Process videos series describe what you learned and illustrate at least three topic points from any one of the series. In the Critical Justice Process series videos I learned a lot about how the process of being arrested works. Before I watched the videos I knew a little bit of the process but not exactly how everything worked. The first video on the process of arrest, I learned from one of the officers was that, “when we take someone into custody we don’t always advise them of their rights unless we need a confession out of them”.

Second was I briefly knew what an alibi was but the video where Neil Shouse who is an attorney explained what it takes to make a good alibi, he said, “ sometimes we present surveillance evidence, sometimes we present gas receipts”.
