Sam has been convicted of burglary, theft, possession of drug paraphernalia, and destruction of private property. This was the result of an incident where he broke into the Jones' home, causing damage to the sliding door in the process. He stole approximately $500 worth of items, and was caught trying to sell a stolen DVD player at a pawnshop. He explained that he was a heroin addict and was stealing in order to be able to buy drugs. Assume that Sam was given a sentence that included probation with the condition of drug treatment. The judge is of the opinion that if Sam can break his addiction, then he will not need to return to crime. If the judge's intention is to help Sam, we could say her decision is based on the ethics of care. If her purpose was to rehabilitate Sam so that the community would benefit by removing his need to commit crimes, this would be consistent with the idea of:
A) ethics of care.
B) retributive justice.
C) deterrence.
D) utilitarianism.
