QUESTION #1:Should a person who has never been convicted of a crime be treated by the law in the same manner as someone who is a multiple offender?

QUESTION#2:What is the difference between substantive and procedural due process? Pick one and give an example of how the police might violate a person's due process rights and explain why the action is a violation.

QUESTION#3:Here is a peer-reviewed research article that gives you some current scientific information in this area if you want to take a closer look in the Purdue Global library:

Peer, J. W., Hillman, S. B., & Van Hoet, E. (2015). The effects of stress on the lives of emerging adult college students: An exploratory analysis.Adultspan Journal,14(2), 90-99. Retrieved from http://search.ebscohost.com.libauth.purdueglobal.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=110068304&site=eds-live

Many if not all college students experience stress in their lives. Describe a situation that you would consider a common source of stress for college students. Consider ways that students can try to minimize the negative consequences of this type of stress.

Based on your learning about biological influences in psychology, consider how these influences may impact or be impacted by this source of stress. Could heredity play a role in the experience of this stress?

Chemical messengers are used in the nervous system and the endocrine system. Describe which neurotransmitters and hormones could be impacted by the stress and coping methods that you have already described.

A person who is a multiple offender according to the law tends to get longer imprisonment on the next offence after the first offence.  The reason that there is a difference in the treatment between the first offender and the multiple offender is the simple assumption that equates crime to a disease. This means that the person has a tendency to commit crime and they should be put in isolation so they are able to cause less harm. This was a popular thought process in the early 20th century where the prisoners on their second and third offence were jailed for longer sentences and some indefinitely.
The law was passed due to the idea that it would reduce violent crime (Hollifield, Warner, Krakow & Westermeyer, 2018). An example of this is the law passing in California in 1994 where a third offence being committed would cause a life sentence. The Judge tends to be more liberal with a person who has just committed a minor crime. The lenient penalties are guaranteed in case of no violence, no major harm and no criminal past.
The courts can sometimes also make first offenders have serious penalties in order to ensure that they never repeat the action again and ensure that an example is made of. The first time offender should be treated with more leniency,
