Suppose there were an opening for a judge in your town.

They tell you they want someone who believes in rehabilitating offenders and not too quick to incarcerate. These are your four candidates:
  John Smith, an advocate of the treatment model
  Harold Reed, and advocate of the justice model
  Jim Jones, an advocate for the crime control model
  Thomas Wu, an advocate for the balanced and restorative justice model
 
  Which of these candidates would likely be the best fit for what the city council is looking for? Why?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

John Smith, an advocate of the treatment model
 In the treatment model, the state is represented by the juvenile court and deals with children differently than it does with adults, by substituting a more informal and flexible procedure.
 In the treatment model, a fatherly and benevolent juvenile judge would gently, and in a friendly manner, probe the roots of the child's difficulties in the court room.
 The mental, physical, and social needs of the child are the focus of the treatment model, and many rehabilitation efforts are implemented before the juvenile is processed into the
system.
 The treatment model encountered considerable criticism in the late twentieth century, but it is experiencing a resurgence of research and interest in the early twenty-first century.
