Should our criminal justice system be more punitive or rehabilitative? Why? 

I believe our criminal justice system should be more punitive, I believe this because I think offender should be punished for the crimes they commit, they have committed a crime against society, and they should have to be punished for their reckless behaviour. If our criminal justice system was more punitive than we be making society safer and locking away criminals who have put society at risk or have caused people pain. Though some people may think rehabilitation is better because it makes offender reflect on the crime they have committed and offers them to change their reckless behaviour. I firmly believe that being more punitive towards offender is more effective than rehabilitation.  

Critical Thinking

The core competency i have demonstrated in my law paragraph is critical thinking. With critical thinking i can analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them. I demonstrate this b y in my paragraph i show my belief and opinion on why i believe our criminal justice system should be more punitive. I also, consider how others point of view may be that the criminal justice system should be more rehabilitative, though i don’t agree with that point of view, i can consider it and acknowledge peoples beliefs and opinions.
