Jeff, I'm almost finished w/my Sociology project, and basically--I kinda verved off...it's mostly cold-hard-retribution now. I have a little bit of rehabilitation mixed in (community service and entering into programs) but mostly I'm punishing future criminals hard! The project called for us to develop our own prison system--forget about the constituton--just create one based on your knowledge of "how men behave."
I belive in strict gun control. I wish I could only find the links to my school newspaper online--there were 2 brilliant articles on why gun control is the only method which will keep our communities safe! Apparently, those two articles have not been added online though.
You might want to visit
www.debateinfo.com/values/crime.html. I used that site in my argument for retribution. It has a debate between the four systems.
