Your house has been burglarized. Your community has a new sentencing program, and the program's directors have asked you to participate along with the offender who burglarized your house. As you understand it, this means that you would be sitting down with representatives from the police department and court system and the offender and his family. The group would discuss and come to an agreement on the appropriate punishment for the crime. Would you do it? Why or why not?

Erin Johns · Answer 1

The correct answer would be Yes, I would meet with the different parties involved in the burglary.

Explanation:

The reason for this is because I would like to learn from the process so beig able to talk to the police and the court system would be very educational. As well I think it would be incredible interesting to learn how the person who commited the crime did it and the whole process behind choosing me as a victim as well on why would he do it and being able to talk to is family could give me an answer to that question.
