CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
Conflicting TheoriesRehabilitation 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
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
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
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
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”
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
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
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
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
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
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
