LESSON 3 ASSIGNMENT 2 Lesson 3 Assignment 1. Define: Justice model, determinate sentencing, and indeterminate sentencing. A justice model principally deems crime as an action that results in the production of harm and the harm must undergo repair. The parties in the harm usually come together to find a collective solution so that the case is dealt with permanently for present and future implications ( Abadinsky, 2017). According to this model, the individual that commits the crime must take the legal responsibility of their actions. Determinate sentencing describes the process of assigning offenders in a law court a specified prison term for the crime that they have committed. In determinate sentencing, the offender can suffer a sentence that lasts two years while another can have a sentence that can last for three years (Smith, 2014). Indeterminate sentencing describes a sentence that an offender without any specification on the time that they will spend in the jail or prison facility. The verdict usually provides a sentence that is within a specified time range ( Abadinsky, 2017). For instance, the sentence can read that the offender is sentenced to between five to fifteen years. 2. Define: Medical model and how it would apply to criminal offenders. The medical model describes a model that healthcare systems use in the detection and identification of specified diseases. The model explains that the diseases are known after specified processes have been done ( Abadinsky, 2017). They constitute the observation of the patient, the description of the symptoms and the differentiation by following some standard procedures that are accepted in the medical fraternity ( Abadinsky, 2017). In this regard, criminal offenders are like the patients because they suffer from committing crimes.
