TERM PAPER

5 pages in length, double spaced, 12 pt font Times New Roman only, 1 margins
_________________________________________________________
Watch the movie Sleepers. Students only need to watch the first part of the movie (approx. 33 min)
This movie shows what happens to four boys who due to extremely poor judgment and reckless behavior become involved with the criminal justice system.

Assume for the purpose of this paper that the charges against the boys are Mischief causing actual danger to life (to the man in the subway entrance), Mischief Over $5,000 (for taking and damaging the hot dog vendors cart), and Theft Under $5000 (for stealing the hotdogs). As well, assume that the boys are 13 and 14 years old at the time of the incident.

Using the movie storyline as a reference point:

    Outline how this case could have been dealt with under the restorative justice system and the retributive system of justice.

    Provide your opinion/perspective as to which system (restorative or retributive) should the boys be dealt with and why.

    Discuss some of the factors presented in the movie that can explain the boys’ criminogenic behavior.

*Make sure you reference your sources with properly cited in-text references and source material with a list of references in APA style. You must use at least 3 scholarly sources other than the text.
*Powerpoint material should not be used as original source material.
*Use of legislative references (i.e. Criminal Code and YCJA) is encouraged
