Instruction:
As discussed in chapter 3 there are many different sentencing models and just as many goals for imposing various sentences. What type of sentencing model would you use to sentence the offenders? What actual sentence would you impose (type and time)? What are the goals of sentencing that are associated with your decision?. Do not use current sentencing strategies to determine your sentence. I want all students to discuss what they believe is appropriate and use a minimum of 330 words in their response.
Scenario: Maria Hernandez was convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor. She basically prostituted her 11 year old niece of whom she was the legal guardian. Maria made her niece have sexual relations with hundreds of men in the Homestead area. Maria has not accepted responsibility and she does not believe that she did anything wrong. Maria does not have a criminal history. (I want the sentencing to be harsh due to the fact that her niece was a minor and was prostituted)
