Assignment

Does the punishment fit the crime? You may consider this question considering a particular offense, whether it be murder or truancy.

· Refer to the contemporary or current event example and this week's Learning Resources to illustrate your position.

· You may also incorporate professional or life experience to illustrate your position.
