Question 2

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

One criminal justice issue that can be addressed is the use of mandatory minimum sentencing for non-violent drug offenses.

General moral principle: It is morally wrong to impose excessively harsh punishments that do not fit the crime.

Factual claim: Mandatory minimum sentencing for non-violent drug offenses has led to overcrowded prisons, disproportionately affects minority communities, and does not effectively address the root causes of drug addiction.

Derivative moral judgement or conclusion based on teleology: Therefore, it is morally imperative to reform the criminal justice system by abolishing mandatory minimum sentencing for non-violent drug offenses and instead focus on rehabilitation and addressing the underlying issues of addiction. This approach aligns with the teleological principle of seeking the greatest overall good for society by promoting rehabilitation and reducing the negative impact of mass incarceration on individuals and communities.

Moral dumbfoundedness describes a situation where one acts instinctively and is unable to offer justification for why the dilemma was resolved as it was.
