Choose ONE of the virtual offenders (Alan Collinson, Dave McGrath, Rachel Morgan, or Trevor Felton) and work through the case from beginning to 'end'.
Complete the following tasks:
1. Briefly summarise the sentence that you chose for the virtual offender and why you chose this. That is, discuss the philosophical (or theoretical) justification for this sentence (or aspects thereof). [estimated max. 300 words]
2. Do the same in relation to the sentence given by the Judge or Magistrate in the on-line scenario. [estimated max. 300 words]
3. Apply the arguments presented by Kemshall (Reading 10), Hannah-Moffat (Reading 11), and Worrall and Hoy (textbook) in order to critique the risk assessment aspect of the on-line scenario. [estimated max. 1,000 words]
4. Critically reflect upon the effects of gender and diversity (or 'race') in relation to the criminal justice / correctional response to your selected case, including the questions that are available to you to 'ask' the virtual offender, the sentencing options available, the 'advice' commentary, and so on. As emphasised in the Study Guide, this will mean focusing on, identifying and critiquing the implicit social and cultural meanings and assumptions. [estimated max. 1,000 words]
