Assignment 2: Alternatives to Incarceration
Due Week 10 and worth 120 points (Please see the format options below for this assignment)
A recent study illustrates that nearly two (2) million juveniles are processed through juvenile courts across the United States each year. Depending on the nature of the crime, juveniles may face detention or incarceration if they are convicted. Given the fact that many courts are reluctant to incarcerate criminal offenders, judges often consider alternatives to incarceration. The driving force behind these alternatives is to save taxpayer money yet still demand offender accountability and impose sanctions for criminal behavior. 
Use the Internet or Strayer databases to research the use of sanctions other than incarceration or detention for juvenile offenders. 
Write a two to three (2-3) page paper OR Power point presentation (minimum 7-10 slides) in which you:
1. Examine the underlying historical and economic reasons per the Chapter 14 text reading behind the quest for alternatives to incarcerating juvenile offenders in jails and prisons.
2. Describe three (3) alternatives to incarceration that JUVENILE COURTS use today. Provide examples of such alternatives in practice to support the response.
3. Discuss the significant societal and individual benefits of imposing sanctions or punishments that do not involve removing a juvenile delinquent from his / her family or community.
4. Use the textbook and at least two (2) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.  
 Your Power point presentation must follow these formatting requirements:
· Be a minimum of 7 slides, not including the Cover Slide and Reference slide and no more than 10
· First slide must be a Cover Slide with your Name, Assignment name, Professor Name and Date only
