Ethical Standards

Purpose
This assignment is intended to assess your ability to:
Compare and contrast distributive and corrective justice.
Apply restorative justice principles to a restorative sentence.
Overview
Ethical standards must manifest themselves in positive and ethical behavior, not simply discussion. This course is an applied study of ethics. Consequently, you will apply course concepts to factual scenarios as you learn the art of “self- and social critique of ethical self-examination” (Paul & Elder, p. 5-6).
Action Items
Complete all required readings prior to working on this assignment.
Read Situation 4 under “Ethical Dilemmas,” located at the end of Chapter 3 in Pollock (2017). In addition to the facts presented in Situation 4, consider that the young juvenile was not read his Miranda Rights or provided with defense counsel until his sentencing. You are to determine his sentence.
Calculate three sentences integrating the material from the text as your criteria.
One sentence should be based upon the concept on Retributive Justice.

The third, Restorative Justice.
Discuss how his sentence may be modified based upon Procedural Justice.
