Asked by Laura

two questions..

1a) How much discretion should prosecutors, judges, and parole board members have in administering the criminal sanction?

b) What justifies the latitude given these individuals?
Answered by Ms. Sue
I think they should be able to use a lot of discretion. No two people are alike; one size does not fit all.

What do you think?

Answered by Laura
I feel their personal feelings need to be set aside when dealing with criminals. But the second part of the question I am confused on
Answered by Ms. Sue
Why do you think that judges, prosecutors and parole board members can use their judgment?

Have you seen the play or read the book, <i>Les Miserables</i>? Jean Valjean is persecuted for stealing a loaf of bread.
