The criminal justice system clearly has several methods for dealing with individuals who commit various levels of crimes.

Looking in a biblical context, and considering all involved within the criminal justice system, evaluate the use of restorative justice within the system in an about five page (1250 words in body) final paper.

To achieve maximum points for content and analysis, the following elements need to be thoroughly addressed.

• Consider how restorative justice may be different based on race, class, gender, and media influence.
• Discuss how restorative justice may be affected because of biological factors, psychological factors, and sociological factors.
• Show how you could incorporate the use of restorative justice while at the same time ensuring the other goals of the system, including punishment and rehabilitation, were addressed.
• Reflect on how the use of restorative justice influences and affects the various individuals involved in the criminal justice system, including but not limited to, law enforcement, court officers, corrections officers, victims, and defendants.
• Provide at least five sources.If you cite a dictionary it will be in addition to the required five sources.The Bible is not to be listed on the References page, but does have to be cited in-text.
• Use the Paper Writing rubric provided in the syllabus to ensure you have met all of the criteria.
