Describe in your own words what Restorative Justice is and the three principles behind it. How can Community Policing utilize Restorative Justice to help with reduction of crime?

You are the commander of a community police unit with 6 officers assigned to it. The area that you cover has is a high crime area with high calls for service. The Chief wants you to develop a program utilizing Restorative Policing to address the high rate of criminal mischief being done by juveniles. How would you set up this program and what outcomes would you want to see?
Technology is advancing police work and will continue to grow within law enforcement in the future. The use of body cameras has helped to provide more transparency. However, with the advancement of technology, there is also a concern for privacy. Discuss the pros and cons of law enforcement utilizing drones and camera systems to conduct enforcement and investigations? Would there be concerns that the use of this technology might have a negative impact on those that have a distrust of the police already? Does it negate the gains made by community policing?

At the root of the concept of restorative justice is the notion that a crime not only violates some particular legal statute, but also harms the victim, his or her family and the community at large. It is crucial in restorative justice that the victim is willing to forgive, and that the offender is willing to take responsibility for his or her actions and show remorse. How did Brandt Jean’s and Amber Guyger’s actions show an example of restorative justice in her trial for murdering his brother?

In Unit 2, you connected theory to real life, showing that it is not an abstract concept. Criminological theory has value in the criminal justice system. It also has value in society. It informs practice and can improve policy and programs.

The criminal justice process can conflict with criminological theory. Within the courts, some sentencing options can create unintended results, such as increasing the likelihood that a person commits new crimes, suffers a drug relapse, or violates a condition of probation.

In this activity, you are going to further develop your writing skills while applying critical thinking by exploring the benefits and drawbacks of specific sentencing options.

Using your reading assignments, intellipath lessons, and other resources, write a 2-page paper exploring the pros and cons of specific sentencing options.

The specific steps for this assignment are as follows and can be found in the readings for the unit, but additional Web research is also recommended:

Select 3 of the sentencing options. For reference, the sentencing options fall into the following categories:
Retribution

Deterrence
Restorative Justice.
In your own words, explain the principles and specific criminological theories that support the sentencing options you chose.
State the pros and cons for each of the sentencing options you chose.
Support your position for both pros and cons with real cases or real events.
