#1 Question class BCJ 2000

As you have learned, sentencing plays a crucial role in the American criminal justice system. Without fair and equitable sentencing practices, every other element in the criminal justice process fails.

Considering the sentencing types we have examined, in your opinion, which one is most effective? Conversely, which type do you feel is the least effective? Explain your reasoning.

I have to Respond To My Classmates Board Question He Wrote:

In my opinion, determinate sentencing is the most effective form of sentencing. Determinate sentencing marks each crime with a specific amount of time that must be served once an individual is convicted. It also provides a means for when the offender and the victim to know when the release of the individual who is incarcerated is going to be released. In Virginia (where I live), the local law enforcement agency is also required to be notified when an offender is approaching a “good time” release back into the community. Voluntary/Advisory sentencing seems to me to be the least effective because it can allow too much disparity between on offender and another. This creates conflict not only in the court system but in the correctional system as well because one offender incarcerated for the same offense as another could be serving less time. Voluntary/Advisory sentencing could also create distrust in the court system because of the weight of sentences handed down over time not being the same for all offenders.
