Considering the circumstances provided in the following areas, you are the judge, and you must decide which intermediate sanction or combination of sanctions can be imposed. Jail is not an option, and you must assume that more is needed beyond traditional probation or parole. After you have made your decision, defend your answer.
John is a 29-yar-old man who has been twice convicted of fraud by forging checks. His first conviction resulted in a sentence of five years on probation with an order to make restitution in the amount of $2,720. He made three payments of $230 each before absconding supervision. He turned up again after six months and was reinstated on probation by the court after he promised to faithfully fulfill the terms of his supervision and to complete his restitution obligation. During his supervision release, he was in violation of probation conditions regularly and never completed his restitution payments. The current case involves John passing a forged check at a local grocery store in the amount of $624. Due to his previous failure and noncompletion of probation, the court is concerned that he is not capable of following court-ordered probation conditions, yet it does not want to commit him to state prison or to a jail term. John has a wife and two small children and is their only source of support. He has a high school diploma, he is not mentally ill or disabled, and he is currently employed as a house painter.

You are working for a juvenile justice non-profit organization. You hear a news story about how the juveniles in your community are starting to cause problems. These problems are beginning to overload the juvenile court system. There are several theories that explain why juveniles become delinquent. Some of the sociological theories include:
Anomie
Social disorganization
Drift theory
Differential association theory.
Locate a sociological theory (it does not have to be one of the theories listed previously). Explain that theory with its relation to juvenile delinquency.
Please note that sociological theories relate to society and external influences over a juvenile, not psychological influences (which relate to internalization within a person) or biological influences (which concern physical problems).
Once you decide on a theory, write a 800-1000 word essay addressing the following:
Describe how it relates to juveniles by explaining what the theory believes causes the juvenile problems.
Think about what you could do working in a juvenile justice non-profit and explain what you could do in your position to aid in addressing the problem. 
Your essay should follow APA format. The first part should define the sociological theory. The second part should provide details about addressing the problem. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Many practices of American Police and Sheriff’s Department are rooted in the historic pattern of disinclination. Both history and current events demonstrate that law enforcement agencies routinely disproportionately arrest, ticket, and stop minorities in relationship to their percentage of the community’s population.
In order to address these inequities, police reform was required. A variety of methods to implement these reforms have been employed. These methods include consent decrees between the Department of Justice and the local agencies, reforms imposed by legislation, and voluntary reforms by the agency itself.
Of course, the durability of these reforms is one of, if not the most important aspect of the reforms.
With these broad concepts in mind, please address the following:
Identify a police department that has been subject to a consent decree that has been in effect for at least five years, or has been concluded.
Discuss the underlying events that led to the consent decree. While there is usually a specific incident that drives the consent decree, that is almost certainly not the first one. Be sure to examine the history that led up to the consent decree.
Compare two of the most important provisions to the underlying causes of the consent decree. Discuss how these provisions are meant to address the failings of the agency.
Use the UMGC Library, as well as other credible sources to find information to  support your discussion of whether or not the consent decree has successfully addressed the concerns it was intended to reform, and if the results are durable. Be sure to address where the consent decree has succeeded, and where it has failed.
Discuss, with academic article support, how the consent decree has affected the agency’s relationship with the community. In addition to statistical information, such as crime rates, number of citizen complaints, and homicide closure rates, also include the opinion of the community stake holders.
Compared to before the time of the consent decree, discuss the overall effect of the consent decree on the relationship between the law enforcement agency and the community.

This writing assignment will be a 3-4 page sociological autobiography. Using theoretical frameworks and concepts from the readings, as well as your understanding of the Sociological Imagination, identify how your social background has influenced your understandings, connections, and beliefs about the causes of crime.
Answer the following questions in your essay: 
1. How has your neighborhood, social class, education, race/ethnicity, gender and other social factors influenced your individual experiences (or lack) with the criminal justice system?
2. How has your background limited and/or enhanced your understanding, experiences, and beliefs about the causes of crime?
3. What criminology theory discussed this semester most aligns with your personal background and experiences? Define the theory and explain why. 
4. How do you think your own experiences are similar and/or different from other individuals within society?
5. Why do you think it’s important to critically analyze your own individual background when discussing the causes of crime, and solutions to, crime within society?
