Module 3 Question 3 The Victim’s Lifestyle and Bias in Sentencing Decisions
In your textbook, How Do Judges Decide, read the material in Box 3.2 on page 95 titled "The Victim’s Lifestyle and Bias in Sentencing Decisions." Keep in mind that the case happened 30-years ago. Could this scenario happen today in 2023 in the criminal justice system? Have we made progress in accepting alternative lifestyles? Have attitudes towards gays changed in the last 30 years? Support your response by providing an example or research with a reference showing that acceptance has or has not changed for the LGBTQ community pertaining to arrests, convictions, or sentencing.
