What kind of crimes would Sherlock Holmes solve?
We'll never know. In many of the Holmes stories, Watson makes reference to Holmes; remarks about crimes (solved and unsolved) that he never discussed with Watson, either for reasons of discretion, or because he felt the specifics of the case, while fantastic, would not demonstrate how logic, deduction and observation worked (a criterion of Holmes'; he disliked Watson's writings when they ventured away from the coldly scientific and stoic, and into the realm of "sensationalism".). Even considering the number of crimes mentioned in the books, the likely number would be far higher.

What are the pro and cons of trying juveniles as adults?
Intended as a deterent to juvenile crime, it is an abomination of the first order. A child must be properly defined in a statuatory sense. Governments determine child labor laws by age. They determine access to military service by age. They determine access to alcohol, driving and tobacco by age. As a nation of laws, the US must not only establish the rules, it must enforce them. Answer: On the contrary, trying juveniles as adults isn't so much a deterrent but that the crime committed is that of an adult level of nature in the planning and execution of the crime or as repeat offender. The severity of the crime doesn't necessarily have to be that of a murder or armed robbery. Much in the same way a court determines the pliability of a minor's "emancipation" , so does it utilize the same tools to decide whether or not a juvenile can stand in judgment for a crime in the same manor of an adult. There is a certain amount of ambiguity when it comes to a jury trial because the mere presents of a minor being tried as an adult, facing adult punishment often leans the jury to offer lesser sentences than that of an adult, but the impact is there non the less. To back up a small bit, the severity of the crime, may play a bit because of the amount of time a minor could possibly serve for the crime, if found guilty. After being found guilty, normally the remand is until the minor reaches the age of 21 in a juvenile/family court system. If the state mandatory remand is over say, twenty years, the juvenile is held over and adjudicated as an adult. (To serve the minimum) Juveniles, even tried as an adult, will never face the death penalty, but could possibly be remanded for life if the crime fits the punishment, but also would more likely be allowed parole more often than say, an adult charged with a like crime. When it comes to crimes committed by juveniles, There are no "Pros or Cons" to try the juvenile as an adult. The juvenile must be afforded the ability to benefit from the incarceration, and be given the opportunity to reform.

Do any apartment in Tampa rent to felons?
If your criminal conviction is over 5 years old there are a few apartment complexes that will rent to you. The Park at Lake Magdalene, Palencia, and Landmark at Grand Palms.

How does federalism affect the criminal justice system?
Federalism in the criminal justice system allows for a balance of power between the federal government and individual states. It gives each jurisdiction the ability to enforce their own set of laws, while also allowing federal agencies to investigate and prosecute crimes that fall under federal jurisdiction. This system can lead to variations in laws and sentencing across different states, as well as collaboration between federal and state authorities in addressing criminal activities.

Kentucky,492 US 361 (1989) that declared executing someone for capital crimes committed while under the age of 16 was a violation of the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, but that executing someone who was at least 16 at the time the crime was committed was constitutional.
The decision in Roper v. Simmons, (2005), overturned death penalty laws in 25 states.

Overview
More than 37 million Americans are victimized by crime each year.(1) The consequences of crime frequently extend far beyond the criminal act. All too often victims are left with expenses for medical procedures, physical rehabilitation, counseling and lost wages. It is estimated that crime costs victims $345 billion annually.(2) Although many crime victims and their families have some knowledge about the legal system, they are often unaware that there are two systems of justice available in which to hold the offender accountable--the criminal justice system and the civil justice system.
The Criminal Justice System
The criminal justice process begins after a crime has been committed and reported to law enforcement. If an arrest has been made and charges have been filed, the accused offender may be prosecuted. In a criminal prosecution, the crime is considered "a crime against the state." The victim's role is primarily defined as a witness for the prosecution. Although in some jurisdictions the prosecuting attorney may be very helpful to the victim and the victim's family, in the criminal justice system, the prosecuting attorney represents the interests of the stateagainst the accused offender - not the victim.
The criminal justice process works to judge the guilt or innocence of accused offenders, and when found guilty, to punish and/or rehabilitate them.The criminal courts can provide crime victims with a sense of justice and can sometimes provide victims compensation through restitution orders. Unfortunately, even when restitution is ordered, it is rarely enforced. This lack of enforcement combined with statutory restrictions on the type of damages that may be included in a restitution.
