criminal justice week 5 203

Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 300-500 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers.

Watch the video Youth & Violence. In 300-500 words, state your opinion to the following question:

Do you agree or disagree with Juan Pacheco’s statements that

  • (a) “gangs are a product of ineffective communities”
  • (b) society should not depend on the juvenile justice system to address the problem of gangs. We should determine that gangs are not a social, racial, or criminal problem, but a public health problem.
