Write a 2 page essay for each of the following:
- What did John Augustus and Alexander Maconochie have in common in their overall philosophy about justice, and in the resistance that they faced? What innovations eventually occurred based on the ideas of each? In what main ways might we say that the ideas of Augustus have gotten lost along the way? Give examples.
- Describe the main goals and procedures of probation supervision. Upon what does probation rely to get probationers to do what they are supposed to do? What is meant by a technical violation of probation? Give an example. Why are technical violations seen as being closely related to probation officer discretion than are new arrest violations?
- What main points do we learn from the “Outside the Gates,” (Jean Sanders) and the “Ex-offender” articles in the packet (Week 6) about that which is needed for successful reentry from prison? (Two or three main points from each.)
