Description

There are 4 different sentencing goals and they include retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation, and incapacitation.

Now you're going to play the judge. You have a defendant who has just been found guilty of armed robbery. He defendant robbed a 7-11 store at gun point and stole $500. He pointed the gun at the cashier, but the gun didn't have any ammunition in it. No one was physically injured, although the cashier was understandably very afraid. There was evidence that the defendant has a drug problem. This is the defendant's first violent conviction, he has past convictions for petty theft and driving under the influence.

I want you to design 4 different sentences for this particular defendant and his crime. Each of your sentences should meet one of the sentencing goals. That means you'll have 4 different sentences because they will vary with each of the 4 goals you want to meet.

answer must be 2-3 paragraphs only. no references
