Criminal sentencing embraces a number of philosophies and seeks to
satisfy sometimes conflicting goals: retribution, incapacitation,
deterrence, rehabilitation, and restoration. The means to
accomplish those tasks have traditionally been comprised of fines,
probation, imprisonment, and death. To adapt to the financial,
social, and international pressures, the criminal justice system
has experimented with mandatory, indeterminate, and structured
sentencing. However, each defendant-based alternative must be
viewed with in the light of its impact on the victims and society
at-large. Beginning with the material conveyed in the assigned
reading and presentation, select 2 scholarly articles from the
university criminal justice databases, and integrate those
resources to discuss the practical implications of alternative and
innovative sentencing options. Finally, integrate within your
discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint on the
viability of such new sentencing options.
