Critical and Reflective Thinking

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

I believe that our criminal justice system should be more punitive. Some of our criminal law charges seem like the bare minimum compared to other countries when it comes to charges such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, etc. I believe that our justice system gives offenders a better chance to receive rehabilitation compared to other justice systems.

I can analyze evidence to make judgements. 

I’ve done this in different media cases we’ve learned about in class and with the case studies we were provided with in the exam.
