What are the criminological theories or rationale behind the plea bargaining process?

For this discussion, first read:

• Library Article: State incentives, plea-bargaining regulation, and the failed market for indigent defense
• Library Article: The innocence effect
• Library Article: Logical but Incompetent Plea Decisions: A New Approach to Plea Bargaining Grounded in Cognitive Theory

An overwhelming majority of criminal cases are settled by plea bargaining rather than by trial. If an individual has been charged with a crime, the prosecutor may offer a reduction of charge in exchange for a guilty plea. If individuals exercise their rights and demand a jury trial, it is more likely they will be charged with a more serious crime (as opposed to taking a lesser offense), and, if convicted, they will likely be given a longer sentence.

In your initial post, answer the following questions:

• What are the criminological theories or rationale behind the plea bargaining process?
• What strategy would you incorporate to remove the disparity in bargaining power?
• What evidence-based argument would you use in dealing with this strategy?

Is Target Marketing Ever Bad?

Is Target Marketing Ever Bad?

As marketers increasingly tailor marketing programs to target market segments, some critics have denounced these efforts as exploitative. They see the preponderance of billboards advertising cigarettes and alcohol in low-income urban areas as taking advantage of a vulnerable market segment. Critics can be especially harsh in evaluating marketing programs that target African Americans and other minority groups, claiming they often employ stereotypes and inappropriate depictions. Others counter that targeting and positioning is critical to marketing and that these marketing programs are an attempt to be relevant to a certain consumer group.

Take a position: Targeting minorities is exploitative versus Targeting minorities is a sound business practice.
