Consequences of punishments

Reference no: EM1335353

I need to analyze the following questions based on the scenario below. Can someone please help?

Jack comes home early from work. He sees 15-year-old Chuck, a friend of his son Ted, hurriedly going through drawers in the kitchen. Jack can see his wife's earrings, some cash, and a screwdriver on the kitchen counter.

Chuck appears frightened and tells him that Ted was not at home, and he was only looking for a pencil and paper to leave a note. When asked about the jewelry, cash, and the screwdriver, Chuck denies any knowledge about how they came to be on the kitchen counter. Jack decides to report the matter to the police.

1) Whether or not Chuck has been labeled. Why? If not, at what point would he acquire a label?

2) The consequences of adjudicating Chuck as a delinquent at each step of the labeling spiral, if:
Chuck is formally charged. Chuck undergoes informal processing

3) The perspective of deterrence theory about the punishment Chuck should receive. What would be the consequence of the punishment according to this perspective?

4) Your assessment of which theory provides a better understanding of the consequences of punishing Chuck. Provide a rationale for your opinion.
