Delinquency Deterrence Response The threat of punishment does deter juvenile delinquency by general deterrence which means that crime control policies that depend on the fear of criminal penalties, such as long prison sentences for violent crimes. The aim is to convince law violators that the consequence outweighs the benefits of the crime or criminal activity (Wadsworth, 2005) If more severe, certain, and swift the punishment is the guiding principle of deterrence theory then the effects of the deterrence is greater. Since the increase in teenage violence, gang activity, and drug abuse was a result of not punishing adolescents severely as adults were so that juvenile justice authorities would not interfere with the parens patriae philosophy, which means A doctrine that grants the inherent power and authority of the state to protect persons who are legally unable to act on their own behalf (West,2005), prompted a reevaluation of deterrence strategies in the 1990’s shifting an emphasis on treatment to an emphasis on public safety in some juvenile courts (Wadsworth, 2005). This would allow officers to enter schools undercover to identify and arrest juvenile drug dealers and to allow judges to be more open with charging juveniles as adults leading to doubling the total of juveniles under the age of eighteen from thirty-four hundred in 1985 to seventy-four hundred in 1997. This and the legislators passing more restrictive juvenile codes seems to have an overall beneficial effect on the delinquency rate and that is that it has declined.
Lower crime rates is another possible positive outcome. There would be more opportunity available for employment if the bill is passed as there would be a demand within the facilities to manage the increased number of inmates. There would be a decreased cost for tax payers for rehabilitation programs. And finally, the most impactful positive outcome would be the justice brought to the victims of armed robbery. All of these possible outcome would benefit the public
Prison time is an effective deterrent to a point, with some people more time is needed. Prosecutors should have the option of using a variety of punishments in order to minimize crime. The most fundamental principle of justice is that the punishment should fit the crime. When someone plans and brutally murders another person, it would seem that justice would be better served if they too were killed as they had planned to kill another human being. Our justice system shows more sympathy for criminals than it does victims and this should be altered.
Economic recession has some impact on the drop in sales. With less disposable money, the consumers not only tend to spend less money in purchasing goods, but also become more economical in using cleaning products, replenishing those products at a slower rate than they did before the recession. Besides the economic downturn, the competitive environment provides another impact on the sales. Since more and more private-label products are penetrating the cleaning market with a lower price, the branded products are losing their market share. What’s more, even among the branded products, CleanSpitze has a relatively high price, which makes situation worse.
This sentencing mechanism has certainly contributed to the increase in prison population. It has also placed harsher punishments that often times do not fit with the crime. Repeat offenders are getting sentenced to long prison terms for low priority crimes. “And if structured sentencing was designed to provide consistency in the type of sentences handed down for specific crimes, the habitual felon law does exactly the opposite, as the offender’s status as a “habitual felon” determines the sentence more so than the severity of the most recent felony”

They STOP THE INCARCERATION AND START THE REHABILITATION 15 participate in anger management courses and substance abuse counseling if necessary, and do manual labor on the facility grounds or in the community. (Clark, 2013). Although shock incarceration is a better solution then adult prisons, it has been criticized over its incidents involving abuse of inmates by staff. (Cullen, 2012) Punishment and rehabilitation are a major part of the criminal justice system and will be effective in controlling crime if there is a way to incorporate the two factors to work together. Punishing and following up with rehabilitation through community supervision can help prevent crime.
In theory, the use of these alternative methods of incarceration allow the convicted criminal [offender] to be humanely reintegrated into society more effectively than traditional methods. This theory is based on the criminal's possibility of productive membership in society, and the belief of the individuality, or uniqueness of criminals derived from the field of criminology. It also encompasses the preconditions of sentencing, and principles similar to that of the justification of incarceration. Pre-modern criminal discipline constituted mostly of exile, and a variety of corporal and capital punishments. The predominant principle was "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" (Dodge 3).
"Though murderers were often executed, the majority of lesser medieval offenses were punished by shaming the criminal publicly, according to Carrel. Fastening the offender into stocks wasn't considered barbaric, she said, and was seen as a much better alternative to spending the time in jail. Criminal charity Even medieval jail wasn't a closed-off affair. Prisoners were often let out to beg and could make money behind bars as long as they shared their take with the jailers. "Charity towards criminals was much more acceptable and much more common in the Middle Ages.
