![Page 7: Criminal Justice Chapter 9 Presentation Assignment](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681444d550346895db0ea99/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Question # 2Describe how judges tailor sentences
to fit the crime and the offender?
![Page 8: Criminal Justice Chapter 9 Presentation Assignment](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681444d550346895db0ea99/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Book AnswerJudges have several ways to tailor
sentences to fit the crime and offender. They can impose a
combination sentence of imprisonment, probation, and fine.
![Page 9: Criminal Justice Chapter 9 Presentation Assignment](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681444d550346895db0ea99/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
They can suspend the imprisonment portion of a combination sentence, or they can suspend the entire sentence
if the offender stays out of trouble, makes restitution to the victim or
seeks medical treatment.
![Page 10: Criminal Justice Chapter 9 Presentation Assignment](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681444d550346895db0ea99/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Judges can give the offender credit for the time spent in jail while awaiting trial, deducting that time from any
prison sentence.
![Page 11: Criminal Justice Chapter 9 Presentation Assignment](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681444d550346895db0ea99/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A judge may even impose a sentence of “time served” and release the
offender. When an offender is convicted of two or more crimes, a
judge can order the prison sentences to run concurrently or consecutively. Judges can also delay sentencing and retain the right to impose a sentence at a later date if conditions warrant it.

rather than a set period. A determinate sentence,

Question # 4Explain the 3 basic types determinate
sentence?
![Page 20: Criminal Justice Chapter 9 Presentation Assignment](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5681444d550346895db0ea99/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

sentences: flat-time, mandatory, and presumptive. With flat-time
sentencing, judges may choose between probation and imprisonment
but have

years of imprisonment.

Usually within a range is provided for particular crimes. Mandatory
sentencing generally allows credit for good time but does not allow release on parole. Presumptive
sentencing allows a judge to retain some sentencing discretion (subject
to appellate review.)

It requires a judge to impose the normal sentence, specified by
statute, on a “normal” offender is not normal-if there are mitigating or
aggravating circumstances-then the judge is allowed to deviate from the
presumptive sentence.
