Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers will vary. Americans want punishment, as well as rehabilitation for criminals. There is variance regarding the length of punishment and capital punishment when comparing whites to minorities. Public opinion can be used to sway the politicians, prosecutors, judges, and legislature who all influence and determine sentences. Public support for harsher sentencing that is motivated by racial prejudice is inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Answers will vary, but the responses should include many issues discussed in the first half of this chapter.
