    Or something.

    Anyway, quick survey here, if you would kindly oblige me, about community responses to convicted criminals - http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/935LH3R

    Will form a whole two or so sentences of a seven page paper, so feel free to judge my education on it.

    It seems to do it weirdly - it swaps the answers about depending on how you rank them. Couldn't see* an option to change it.

    Done. Not sure if it was the survey or my phone but question 2 wouldn't let me change any of the options

    You can pretend it's for a GTA clone if that helps.

    Well i think Rape is less acceptable than Vehicular homicide in the list, but it scores a 4.

    Ed: Ha! When you rate them, it switches the order of the crimes!

    I'm trying to work out which crimes I can get away with.

    But really it's for a random "community justice vs criminal justice" thing. The assignment is that we've got eight criminals, proven guilty of different crimes (and with different backgrounds), but we can only jail four of them. We're playing the role of an elected official as a prosecutor, so we have to balance jailing the worst of them with the wants and needs of the community, then justify our decisions.

    Done.

    I'm rooting for the unintentional vehicular homicide.

    I've turned off all the avatars and crap, so don't expect me to be impressed by yours.

    Beside the Americanisation, I have completed it.

    I don't really get the exercise though. What does it mean by "community justice"? Also it would be a bad bad world where the prosecution gets to decide what happens to the crims :/

    One of my current hats involves a bit of behind the scenes stuff on this in real life, it's an interesting 'thing'

    It's just a thought experiment, really. It gets us to consider justice from three separate angles - the angle of an elected official (a district attorney) trying to please the people who voted him in (hence "community justice" ), the angle of limited budget/jail spaces and the angle of justice to the law of the letter. Doesn't have any explicit real world bearing other than getting people to look at the criminal justice process from different perspectives.

    For example, at the moment on the survey, it seems people generally consider a convicted rapist to be a worse influence on a community than a second-degree murderer, should they be let out into the care of the community. Yet, the sentencing for the latter is generally harsher and is considered, in the eyes of the law, a "worse" crime.

    Question 4 reveals something of a bias in the questioning, I reckon:
    Would a...be better helped through jail time or care in the community (rehab etc)
    What about rehabilitation programmes in jail? Either way, I went for rehab (care in the community) even though I'd already told you I'd lock up all armed robbers. Dunno what that response tells you.

    Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!

    Aye. I put rehab but that shouldn't exclude jail terms. To be honest the survey is flawed in the way it forces you to make black and white calls.

    There may or may not be rehabilitation in prison itself (rehab programmes vary from prison to prison) - that's something we can't actually decide for ourselves, at least within the scope of the essay. It's jail time or community time, and never the twain shall meet.

    Though statistically speaking, in-prison rehab programmes don't actually work, so I'd probably discount that broadly anyway.

    Doesn't have to be in jail. Do time and then rehab. Although to be fair your question did ask what would HELP criminals. Don't think jail would, but that's not the point of it. Punishment then rehab.

    Btw you uni kids have it lucky. I had to go out into the street and meet the man to get my surveys, and as Johnny Rotten said, "He's a cunt."

    Surely that is a no brainer. You specified that the second degree murder was a 'spur of the moment' thing so the rapist represents a far greater ongoing threat to the community. It's a much higher risk. That just seems obvious.

    You also have to be careful calling crimes 'worse' than others in the eyes of the law as well. In the UK for example, Attempted Murder is 'worse' on a conceptual legal level than Murder because it is impossible to commit attempted murder recklessly or negligently.

    I know. Hence why I said worse in quotation marks. Most of the survey is going along with expected principles of community, but I actually need statistical proof of that rather than just going "rapists are of course worse for the community than second-degree murderers".

    At the moment, it's the one no-one seems to give two shits about. Which isn't wholly surprising, as it's the only one on the list that's (basically) accidental. I could have included a wider range of crimes, but those ones I have cover the eight felons I have to either lock up or let loose on the community.

    I think I might let the double-homicide following armed robbery, fifth time reoffender go free, just for laughs.

    Is there an option to lock 4 of them in prison and feed the other 4 to those incarcerated, thus solving all of societies ills?

    I received my grades for the paper. Eighty-five out of fifty.

    I don't quite understand how that works either, but I'm pretty pleased with that.
