Name the four basic correctional models in the juvenile justice system and briefly describe their philosophical bases
What will be an ideal response?
Treatment model: the state must step in and exercise guardianship over a child found under adverse social or individual conditions
Justice model: both juvenile and adult offenders are volitional and responsible human beings and, consequently, deserve to be punished if they violate the law. The punishment they receive must be proportionate to the seriousness of the offense. Fogel's model proposed:
• end of the indeterminate sentence and parole
• the initiation of uniform sentencing, and
• the establishment of correctional programming based solely on the compliance of inmates
Crime control model: punishment deters crime
Balanced and restorative justice model: refers to system-level decision making by administrators to "ensure that resources are allocated equally among efforts to ensure accountability to crime victims, to increase competency in offenders, and to enhance community safety." The three goals are accountability, competency, and community protection.
