CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
5
Conflicting Theories Rehabilitation vs. Retribution Retribution Concerned with punishing a person for their crime Tend to emphasize long prison sentences, capital punishment, and uncomfortable prison conditions as the best means of deterrence Rehabilitation Transform prisoners into law abiding citizens Advocate educational programs, counseling, and job training for those in prison as the best means of deterrence
6
Deterrence Deterrence is meant to prevent future crimes Advocates of Retribution and Rehabilitation point to recidivism as justification for their views Recidivism is the rate at which criminal behavior is repeated by the same people
7
Retribution for Less Serious Crimes Monetary Compensation Convicted must pay $ in form of a fine, restitution, or compensation. Restitution is money or property a person gained from their crime Compensation is when a person is ordered to pay for another’s loss as a result of their crime Community Service The court can order the convicted to work a certain number of hours for a charity, shelter, cleaning up a public area Probation Instead of prison time the court sets certain conditions the convicted must meet
8
Retribution for Serious Crimes Detention Restriction of a person’s ability to leave a location House Arrest Form of detention where a person is confined to their home Incarceration Most Common form of detention Long term incarcerations: State run prisons Short term incarcerations: County run jail
9
Parole Most people convicted do not spend their entire sentence behind bars Parole means a person is released from prison but is still considered to be serving their sentence This issue is debated frequently, especially when the person on parole continues to commit crimes This has cause many states to enact “3 Strikes Laws”
10
Confiscation of Property The state takes a person’s home, money, possessions, etc. as punishment Ex: Person convicted of tax evasion could have their house confiscated
11
Capital Punishment Known as “The Death Penalty” Most serious form a retribution Not used in every state, (is used in NC) it is reserved for those convicted of premeditated murder Some states, the US Gov’t, and the military have crimes other than murder for which an individual can be executed
12
Role of the Jury Jury The same jury that convicts the defendant must also decide if he/she will be executed or sentenced to life in prison
13
Juvenile Offenses The age at which one is considered a juvenile varies from state to state Depending on the severity of the crime a juvenile can be tried as an adult
14
Juvenile Incarceration Juvenile Detention Center An alternative to an adult prison Boot Camps Some judges can sentence a juvenile to a boot camp These camps are designed to rehabilitate through instilling discipline Schools In recent years schools have had to resort to long term suspensions, legal searches of student lockers, and metal detectors
15
Criminally Insane Mental Institution If a defendant is found to be mentally ill at the time of their crime the court may then confine them in a mental institution to receive treatment
