This semester we discussed the purposes of various criminal sanctions and common alternative sentencing practices used by criminal justice systems worldwide. Please review the following question prompts and address each one with a well-reasoned analysis based on your understanding and research.
Prompt A- Reflect on the main purposes of criminal sanctions—
retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, incapacitation, and restitution. Based on your knowledge and research, which purpose do you believe is the most effective in deterring and/or preventing juvenile delinquency? Provide evidence and real-world examples to support your argument.
Prompt B- Alternative sentencing practices, such as community service, probation, and restorative justice programs, are often used to rehabilitate juvenile offenders. Discuss how these practices can contribute to the goal of rehabilitation. Support your analysis with specific examples or case studies.
Prompt C- Select two countries from your studies:
One that follows a rehabilitative philosophy toward juvenile delinquency.
One that follows a retributive philosophy toward juvenile delinquency.
Explain the aims of each approach and analyze how they influence the treatment of juvenile offenders. Compare and contrast the effectiveness of these philosophies in achieving their goals, using evidence from the criminal justice systems of these countries.
