a. they are all serious felonies committed with a weapon and resulting in injury to the victim b. they are part of the largest volume of cases and are not considered worth much to the courtroom workgroup c. these are all cases where a prior relationship exists between the victim and the offender d. they involve a famous person, a gruesome crime or result in landmark Supreme Court rulings \u00e2\u20ac\u203911.\u00e2\u20ac\u2039What impact do celebrated cases have on public perceptions? a. educational, because they teach the public about routine case processing by the CJS b. sentimental, because the public feels badly for the poor and minority offenders thrust in front of television cameras on a regular basis c. distorted, because people mistakenly assume they are typical of all cases when they are not d. none, because the public realize that these are atypical cases and that is what makes them newsworthy \u00e2\u20ac\u203912.\u00e2\u20ac\u2039One of the unique elements of criminal justice case processing that is more often present in celebrated cases than other cases is a. a trial c. a plea bargain b. a public defender d. a conviction \u00e2\u20ac\u203913.\u00e2\u20ac\u2039Criminal justice officials use ALL BUT WHICH of the following criteria to determine the seriousness of a crime a. the nature of the crime c. injury to the offender b. the use of a weapon d. the relationship between victim and suspect \u00e2\u20ac\u203914. \u00e2\u20ac\u2039The factors that criminal justice officials consistently use to classify cases include which of the following?

a. the courtroom workgroup would be liberated from shared understandings of seriousness and would be more likely to rely on extralegal factors in case processing decisions b. case processing time would increase in second layer cases, but it would decrease in third layer cases c. a large number of cases would move from the third to the second layer of the wedding cake thereby increasing the overall punitiveness of the justice system d. the only cases that would be affected would be cases in the fourth layer, but due to such a large number of cases there is a risk that the system would be overburdened \u00e2\u20ac\u203922.\u00e2\u20ac\u2039The conclusion drawn from research on career-criminal prosecution programs like the San Diego Major Violator Unit was that a. getting tough does not work if leniency is not the source of the problem b. getting tough increased the deterrent effect, because career criminals were previously treated leniently c. liberating the courtroom workgroup from traditional expectations moved more career criminal cases from the third layer to the fourth layer of the wedding cake d. these programs convinced the public that cases of career-criminals should be treated like celebrated cases \u00e2\u20ac\u203923.\u00e2\u20ac\u2039Regarding fourth layer cases, we are reminded that a. the largest number of cases in American courts are serious acts of violence committed by chronic offenders against strangers b. the largest number of cases in American courts are misdemeanors c. a large number of cases in American courts are decided based on extralegal factors since the courtroom workgroup is liberated from shared understandings of seriousness d. a large number of cases has not caused the American court system to collapse, but rather each misdemeanor defendant as an attorney and a full trial \u00e2\u20ac\u203924.\u00e2\u20ac\u2039A study of lower courts in New Haven, CT revealed that a. jury trials were very popular b. there were not enough cases from which to ascertain any trends c. contrary to expectation, defendants were not arraigned en masse or given light sentences d. due to a large volume of cases and relative lack of seriousness, the formalities of felony process typical in second layer cases is rarely present <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
