Document Summary

Political gain: sentencing policies get tougher after each election because politicians who made these promises are more popular and they have to fulfill them after they are elected. Economic-profit: employment; private prison services (want more crime for profit while the public wants punishment for less crimes) Most in prison are from the lower classes. Entertainment: public enjoy watching this punishment routine (interested in the spectacle of punishment) Absolute discharge: no sentence and no record of the conviction after guilty finding. Conditional discharge: you have a probationary period and have several conditions, if successfully completed, charges dropped and no criminal record. Suspended sentence: suspend the sentencing but if found guilty will be brought back. Conditional sentence: usually given to cases that in the past were usually given sentences and can be given special probation conditions (ex. demand to go for rehabilitation), if failed to follow sent back to prison.

Describes various consequences (punishments) for crimes committed as discussed in your textbook. Do you feel that deterrence works? Why or why not? (more than 250 words)

(examples):

The punishment given for crimes can be divided into two categories, the severity of punishment and the certainty of punishment. The severity of punishment means the sanctions a criminal may face, these range from low severity such as parole, community service and low fines, to high severity such as lethal injection, long prison sentence and high fines. The certainty of punishment is based on investigation techniques and higher resources for prosecutors, this ensures the evidence is accurately matched to the crime which would increase the severity of the punishment.

The classic prisoner's dilemma involves two suspects, A and B, who are arrested by the police. Because the police have insufficient evidence for conviction on a key charge, they place the prisoners in isolation and offer each of them the following deal: If one testifies for the prosecution against the other and the other remains silent, the betrayer goes free and the silent accomplice receives a 20-year sentence. If both stay silent, both prisoners are sentenced to only six months in jail on a minor charge. If each betrays the other, each receives a five-year sentence. Each prisoner must make the choice of whether to betray the other or to remain silent. Neither prisoner knows for sure what choice the other prisoner will make. The dilemma is summarized as follows:

Prisoner B Stays Silent

Prisoner B Betrays

Prisoner A Stays Silent

Each gets six months

Prisoner A gets 20 years
Prisoner B goes free

Prisoner A Betrays

Prisoner A goes free
Prisoner B gets 20 years

Each gets 5 years

A.Describe the best strategy for each prisoner if neither knows what the other will do.

B.What is the paradox of the situation?
