Just starting out....

Hey everyone! My English teacher gave my class an assignment to start a blog on a topic that we wanted to learn more about, so here I am and my topic I chose is Criminal Justice. I think my initial interest in criminal justice stems from my father's jobs hes had in the past. He wanted to be a police officer and was in training to become one, but when my sister and I were born he had to quit training and accept other jobs. He was a reserve police officer for five years and has been working as a security guard for the past twenty years at different prisons and facilities. I'm fascinated with the whole legal system. My favorite show is Law and Order! Throughout this blog I will research degrees of crime, different types of punishments and the severity of a punishment in correlation with a crime, the prison system, prisoner's rights, etc. Overall, I'm excited to expand my knowledge about this topic.
