As a presiding juvenile magistrate in the eastern part of Washington D.C., you have been constantly seeing a number of young offenders being arrested for non-violent drug related offenses. These sometimes include property crimes, in which the fruits of the crime are used togather money or trade in order toget one's drug of choice. As judge, you are a firm believer in both deterrence and rehabilitation when it comes tosentencing; however, your sentences depend on the specifics of the case and the individual(s)involved. At present, you are hearing a case of a 16 year-old car thief whohas stolen multiple cars and then sells them tochop shops for cash tosupport his heroin addiction. You are familiar with this young offender, and in fact, gave him probation the last time he appeared before you for a breaking and entering charge in which he stole jewelry that was later pawned for drug money. The young offender has now been found guilty of his grand theft autocharge, and you must now determine his sentence. Based on your philosophies of punishment being grounded in both deterrence and rehabilitation, what type of punishment doyou delegate tothis offender, and why? Please fully explain.
