AI Summary
This assignment analyzes discretionary decisions within the criminal justice system, focusing on scenarios in law enforcement, courts, and corrections. The student examines three distinct scenarios: minors skateboarding and displaying lewd gestures to police, a defendant at a bail hearing after an assault, and a parolee violating curfew. For each scenario, the student identifies the discretionary decisions available to the authorities (police, judge, and parole officer), considering factors influencing these decisions and the potential repercussions of each choice. The analysis includes discussions of relevant legal principles, such as the impact of a criminal record on minors, the concept of implied consent in sports, and the discretion afforded to parole officers. The assignment emphasizes the importance of considering the consequences of each decision, including the potential for negative impacts on individuals and the broader community. References are provided in APA format.
