The idea that victims of crime, especially childhood abuse, are more likely to perpetrate crimes themselves is called the:

a. cycle of violence.
b. circle of life.
c. roundabout theory. d. violence symmetry theory.

Question 2

Compare and contrast U.S. v. Henry (1980) with Illinois v. Perkins (1990). Take a stance on each of these two positions, and explain your reasons. Can these two decisions be reconciled, or do you believe that they are too contradictory in nature for this to be possible?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 2

In United States v. Henry (1980), the U.S. Supreme Court held that incriminating
statements made to a government informant sharing a suspect's jail cell were not
admissible in evidence, because they violated the suspect's right to a lawyer. In
Illinois v. Perkins (1990), the U.S. Supreme Court held that an undercover law
enforcement officer posing as a fellow inmate did not need to give the Miranda
warnings to a suspect in jail before asking questions that might produce an
incriminating response. Henry dealt with a post-indictment questioning. Perkins
dealt with a pre-indictment questioning. Thus they can be distinguished by the
dividing line like pre-trial identifications once a charge has been filed, rights accrue.
