Removing Criminals from the Streets: Three Strikes Laws

The Constitution stipulates that all trials should be conducted in the country where the crime occurred. The fifth amendment provides protection from self discrimination, but the sixth amendment ensures that the offender has the right to a quick trial and the right to be informed of the offense they are sued. Regionally, the state is allowed to enforce the law within its jurisdiction. States can impose penalties and minimum obligations on crimes committed within the jurisdiction of the state.

To ensure that repetitive offenders are continually imprisoned, the state has implemented three strikes laws. Logic is that public offenders can not harm someone when a criminal is in prison. As the three strike laws apply to defendants who committed multiple crimes in succession, the purpose of these laws is to ensure that criminals are most likely to commit crimes in jail. The biggest criticism of the three strikes is that the punishment for the crime arrested by the accused is often disproportionate. For example, according to three strikes, a defendant who stole a videotape may be sentenced to 25 years in prison sentence. If three strikes were not made, the same defendant can only spend months in order to cope with the same crime.
