here's a question to ponder

I don't know if this question has been brought up before either through the discussion board or in other blogs so I think i'll give it a shot. What do you think should have to first time offenders in the criminal justice system. Should it depend on the severity of the offense? Should incarceration time ever be a consideration for first time offenders. I persoannly feel it should depend on the severity of the offense. If it is a minor offense such as a curfew violation I think a verbal repremand is sufficent But if it is a more severe offense such as assult and battery or other major criminal offense then yes other options should be on the table for the courts to consider.


Your thoughts????
