Question 25
4 / 4 pts
While the stated goal of selective incapacitation is to avoid incarcerating
offenders who could be better served through other sanctions, many states
are implementing it as a way to deal with budgetary challenges. What
possible conflicts could arise if states prioritize budgetary concerns over
other goals of selective incapacitation? What problems are created by the
high rate of false positives and how might these impact society?
Your Answer:
One major conflict that could arise if states prioritize budgetary concerns
over other goals of selective incapacitation is the point that individuals who
are sentenced or charged are innocent. We have seen time after time over
the years, of people being convicted of a crime that they never committed or
even put on death row. With the advancement of technology over the past
decade, investigations are able to actually collect more data and evidence in
which are more accurate in capturing the right wrongdoer. Another problem
is that once law enforcement has someone in custody, they think the task is
over instead of fully or thoroughly investigating the situation. Law
enforcement can have the wrong suspect, in which in turn puts society in
danger because the suspect is actually still out in the community.
