Electronic monitoring is often seen as “a prison without bars.” However, when it comes to juvenile electronic monitoring, it is not considered punishment but is seen as rehabilitative. Young people who would otherwise be detained are placed on electronic monitoring which can be akin to house arrest. Violations can include missing curfew, skipping class, or not obeying parents. A juvenile’s poor performance can result in increased time on electronic monitoring and probation. The result is a greater penalty than if they had never been on electronic monitoring and probation. What are your thoughts? Is juvenile electric monitoring an appropriate alternative to incarceration?

Adversarial justice systems start with what law is broken, who broke it, and how to punish the offender. Restorative justice policies ask what harm was done, how to repair the harm, and who’s responsible for repairing the harm. How do we incorporate restorative justice policies into resolving the issues of our young people in the home, schools, the community, and the juvenile system? Be specific.

 Please address the following question:
Is community policing an honest effort to improve police-community relations, or is it merely a symbolic gesture?
Here are a few talking points for your response (this is not an exhaustive list):
Why is it so hard to define “Community Policing”?
Is there a standardized list of policing initiatives that fall under the umbrella of community policing? Which efforts count? Which do not?
Should a police agency that participates in one community activity be considered a community oriented policing department compared to another agency that has a long term, multifaceted, organizationally integrated and well evaluated program?
Generally, community oriented policing is easier to establish in low crime, homogeneous, organized communities that have high social capital and collective efficacy. Shouldn’t the real test of community oriented policing be in high crime, heterogeneous, disenfranchised, socially disorganized communities? The ones that need it the most?
