For lawyers

Text 1

 

For all ordinary law and order each state has responsibility in its own territory. The federal courts - and hence the Federal Bureau of Investigation, federal police and prisons - are involved only in matters outside the individual states' jurisdiction (such as federal income tax) and in cases arising under the U.S. Constitution. This last category is the most interesting; if a person convicted by a state court system can produce evidence that the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution were infringed by some aspect of his or her arrest, questioning or trial, a federal court can review that evidence and either uphold the sentence or overturn it. So too with allegations of "cruel and unusual punishment" inflicted under the authority of a state.

Nearly all cases involving disputes about property or divorce, or murder, theft, assault or traffic offences great or small, are dealt with by the relevant state's hierarchy of city, county and state courts, police and prisons, in accordance with state law. Each state has a supreme court of appeal, but otherwise the systems vary.

The legal system is based on Common Law, brought-across from England and on the laws and ordinance passed by state legislatures and by other bodies to which state power has been delegated. Anglo-American Common Law is based on the supposed reasonable person's view of what is right and fair. It has been likened to a wall, with bricks being added to it from time to time in the form of court decisions and notices stuck on it in the form of statutes. Each decision creates a precedent, and for any particular case a court must, as far as practicable, follow a precedent set by a higher court's previous decision. But most of the wall is by now covered with notices - specifically, statutes, etc.

Most, but not all, of the law in force is statute law, and the legislators have tried to ensure that the meaning of the statutes is quite clear. However, there is still plenty of argument in courts about the application of statute or Common Law to particular cases, and an army of lawyers earn high fees for doing this work. States vary in the quality of legal help available for accused persons who have not the means to pay the fees themselves.

In some states, judges are publicly elected, in others they are appointed, by state governors or by special bodies such as judicial councils - though except at the lowest levels only lawyers are eligible for election or appointment. Some judges hold office for fixed periods, but others are installed for life or up to a retiring age, or there may be provisions for "recall". Under this arrangement a group of people dissatisfied with a judge may collect signatures on a "recall" petition, to the question whether the impugned judge should be confirmed in office.

TEXT 2

 

America's notoriety for crime is well-founded. The outlawing of alcohol in 1919-33, known as the period of "Prohibition", encouraged the growth of a huge network of corruption and blackmail and gang rivalry, and when Prohibition ended, the network of organized crime that it had fostered turned to other types of activity - nowadays based on drugs as well as ordinary large-scale robbery. In Hollywood's version the big men of crime are confident men of power and wealth. In real life today their empire runs from big-time robbery and drug dealing through exploitation of permitted gambling in Nevada and Atlantic City to legitimate business financed by illicit gains. As visitors to Las Vegas walk among the cascading lights outside gambling halls they may admire the marvelous offensive and defensive armaments of Al Capone's ancient bullet-proof car, now in a miniature street-side museum and serving as a reminder of the origins of the gambling halls.

But the crimes that worry most ordinary Americans are the more ordinary ones. Robbery and acts of violence have increased nearly tenfold in thirty years. In cities many people are afraid to go out at night. In New York, when an ordinary traveler in a subway train shot some robbers who were attacking passengers, and permanently injured one of them, he became a public hero and a huge campaign was mounted in his defence when he was taken to court. His acquittal in 1987 produced more joy than protest -though he was found guilty of a minor offence.

Although the perpetrators of most crimes are not caught, the number of criminals who are convicted is great enough to crowd the prisons. In 1988 more than half a million people were in prison - more than twice as many as in any Western European country, in proportion to population. Nearly all these were in state prisons.

Although each state has full responsibility for its prisons, the seventh amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits "cruel and unusual punishments", and if any evidence suggests that a state prison system may be breaking this rule an action against it may be brought in the federal courts. In a series of cases, federal courts have ruled that prisoners being held in overcrowded conditions are indeed being subjected to "cruel and unusual punishment", and the logical consequence of these rulings was strict intervention by the federal courts in the operation of state prisons. By 1987 more than half the states were subject to court orders requiring them to improve conditions, and at least one fine had been imposed for non-compliance. In nine states federal judges had appointed special administrators. Meanwhile there was frantic activity in building new prisons and expanding old ones, and some states were using private enterprise to cut their costs claiming that such methods were successful. Thousands of prisoners were being released prematurely, and judges were being encouraged to try, as far as possible within reason, to avoid sentencing guilty people to imprisonment but to use alternatives, from community service to probation at home under close supervision. Some counties in New York State have used a new device, allowing people sentenced to imprisonment to stay in their homes for fixed periods instead, and providing them with electronic bracelets linked to a computer so as to monitor their movements. A home prisoner who breaks a personal curfew must go to gaol.

TEXT 3

 

The murder rate is currently ten times the British rate in relation to population. It is highest - far above the national average - in the big cities: for example, it is seven times higher in Detroit, where in a recent year forty children of under sixteen were killed by other children. This blot on American society is the subject of bitter controversy in national and state politics, concentrated on two issues - the death penalty and controls on public access to guns.

In the "liberal" climate of the 1960 s some states abolished the death penalty, while everywhere it was more and more rarely used. In eight years, 1968-75, no execution was carried out anywhere in the United States, and a Supreme Court ruling of 1972 seemed to indicate that it was to be considered unconstitutional as a "cruel and unusual punishment". Meanwhile the number of murders had been growing fast, and in 1975 passed 21,000 - three times as many as twenty years before. Opinion polls were showing massive support for the return of the use of capital punishment.

In 1975 the Supreme Court made a new ruling which allowed the death penalty to be used in certain circumstances, and one man was executed in Florida in 1976. Several others followed, and in the three years 1984-86 there were 57 executions, in a dozen states.

In 1986 three-quarters of the states had laws allowing the death penalty, and nearly 2,000 people were in prison under sentence of death but going through interminable processes of appeal. Meanwhile the number of murders in the nation as a whole had declined by a fifth. Four thousand fewer people were murdered in 1985 than in the peak year of 1982, when the figure reached 23,000. This evidence has given some encouragement to the advocates of the death penalty, but it is not conclusive. And even in the death penalty states, most murders do not qualify for it. In proportion to the population, there are nearly as many convicted murderers in prison, but not on death row, as there are in Dutch prisons for all other crimes put together.

Conservative opinion, in favour of severe penalties, showed its strength in California in 1986. In 1980 Rose Bird, personally opposed to the death penalty, had been appointed Chief Justice of the State -perhaps the highest judicial office attained by a woman up to that time. During her period of office every completed appeal against the death sentence had been commuted to imprisonment People opposed to her leniency made use of a provision in the state constitution by which her continuance in office after 1986 could be made conditional on a majority vote in favour other confirmation by the people of the state at the general election of November. A bitter campaign was mounted against her and two other Supreme Court judges who had supported her. At the vote there was a two-to-one majority for her dismissal, and for the dismissal of these two colleagues. This event concerned California only, but seemed likely to have a wider influence.

TEXT 4

 

The second controversial issue connected with the high murder rate arises from the ease with which handguns can be bought. Some states have some restrictions on their open sale, some not. About half the murders in America are connected with handguns. The pressure group in favour of new and strict controls has put its basic argument in a simple public poster: "In 1983 handguns killed 35 people in Japan, 8 in Britain... and 9,014 in the United States. God Bless America."

These figures do not impress the National Rifle Association, one of the most powerful pressure groups in the nation, with three million members and assets of nearly a hundred million dollars. It is deeply conservative, and dedicated to the principle that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". These words are indeed the second amendment to the Constitution, part of the 1791 Bill of Rights. Although legislation was passed against the NRA's opposition in 1986 to stop open purchase of machine-guns and of armour-piercing bullets, adequate control of ordinary guns will not easily be achieved. The power of the NRA illustrates one facet of American society. Guns, for shooting birds and animals and for protection against predatory human beings, are symbols of the virility associated with the building of the nation. To many traditionally-minded people, those who oppose ownership of guns - and indeed who oppose the death penalty for murder - are easily associated with values typical of the supposed degeneracy of modern urban (and suburban) life as compared with the vigorous self-reliance of the old, frontier.

In the exceptional prevalence of murder and other violent crimes the United States is significantly different from Europe; so too with the death penalty and gun control. In the growth of crime in general it is worse but less remarkably so. America shares with Western Europe many of the features, which seem likely to promote this growth, but crime and violence are even more glamorized in cinema and television in America than in Europe. So too are wealth and power, in this society where go-getting self-reliance tends to be elevated into a virtue in itself.
