Briefly discuss the implications of the debate between free will and determinism for treatment, punishment, and policy within criminal justice
What will be an ideal response?
Should discuss a link between free will and initiatives to deter criminal behavior (which is presumably freely chosen), perhaps also suggesting that free will equals greater responsibility and, thus, justifies harsher punishment. Conversely, the more determined our behavior is, the less responsible we are for our actions, and the more criminal justice policy should be focused on prevention and treatment rather than deterrence and punishment.
