Sentencing philosophies and models are created by legislatures and imposed by courts. However, it falls upon our nation’s correctional institutions to administer the punishment defined by legislatures and imposed by courts.
In your initial post, compare and contrast determinate vs. indeterminate sentencing models. Of the two, which do you believe is more effective in reducing recidivism rates? Explain and support your position with the research literature.
In your response post to classmates, evaluate the model selected by the classmate. If you agree with the classmate’s view that the selected model is more effective, expand upon the points made by the classmate to defend this sentencing model over the other option. If you disagree, respectfully defend why you believe the alternative sentencing model is more effective.
