Summary
Click the linked activity title to access this assignment.
Text
Introduction
One area of crime prevention that has been debated for years has to do with sentencing guidelines,
punishments, and rehabilitation programs. Although most people believe that crime prevention or
crime suppression is not affected by our correctional systems and the courts, there are many other
factors within the system that can affect the rate of crime in any area of the country. Some things
considered in this assignment include:
Sentencing guidelines.
The Violent Crime Control Act and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, also known as the 1994
crime bill.
Three strikes.
Private prison rehabilitation programs.
Note: Refer to Chapters 7–11 of your text for more information on the above strategies.
