Exam 4: Intermediate Sanctions

Restorative justice focuses on the welfare of the offender in the aftermath of the crime.

Judge Ortiz is an administrative judge in the county who is holding a meeting to determine the effectiveness of the various sentencing options. He invites individuals who work with the various types of sentencing options to give their feedback. Officer Moll is the supervising probation officer in the county. Judge Ellis coordinates the drug court in the neighboring county. Ms. Howard runs the halfway house in the county. Captain Smith coordinates the boot camp in the county. Judge Ortiz thinks that the random phone call to the offender where the offender must respond is not effective in that many offenders can find ways around this. He feels it is more effective to monitor offenders through a microprocessor and an ankle transmitter device. With this, the offender must remain in within 100 feet of the portable receiver. The transmitter will then make continuous calls to a reporting station that updates the offender's location. What is this type of electronic monitoring?

Several definitions of restorative justice can be found, but at the heart of most of these definitions is the conviction that those most directly involved in a crime (individual victims, offenders, families of victims and offenders, and victimized communities)are those who should be central in responding to the harm caused by crime.

Thomas is 18 years old and was found guilty of multiple counts of burglary and dealing in stolen property. He and three of his friends went on a spree of home burglaries where they took thousands of dollars' worth of property from their victims' homes. All of Thomas's acquaintances were juveniles and thus not of age to pawn items at the pawn shop. This is why Thomas was the one who got caught pawning the stolen items in a local pawn shop. The judge makes the decision to sentence Thomas to remain confined to his residence for 6 months. He is allowed to leave his home to go to work. He must be home between the hours of 6 pm and 7 am. What is the name of this sentence?

All of Thomas's acquaintances were juveniles and thus not of age to pawn items at the pawn shop. This is why Thomas was the one who got caught pawning the stolen items in a local pawn shop. This is Thomas's first arrest and conviction. The judge is concerned with placing Thomas in a dangerous prison with older, more experienced offenders. The prosecutor argues that too many people are placed on routine probation. What is the possible solution to this debate?

Boot camps began in adult corrections but are more recently used in juvenile corrections.
