Q CJC 341 Media Assignment 1 Sentencing of persons convicted of violating criminal law is the subject of this assignment. Chapter 2 of the Corrections in the Community textbook covers a wide variety of sentencing options, including community service, day-reporting centers, electronic monitoring, parole, and others. For this assignment, find a media item such as a printed news story, magazine article, television segment, or video about sentencing of a criminal offender (or offenders) from an internet site, newspaper, magazine, or television show. The item should describe a specific type or aspect of criminal sentencing that can be connected to the material in Chapter 2 of the textbook. Write a short paper explaining the media item and connecting it to at least one term or concept from the textbook chapter on sentencing. You must write in your own words and not simply copy the wording of your media item. Your paper must be at least 500 words not including your name and assignment title. Make sure that you provide a reference for your media item, and that you explain which term or concept from Chapter 2 that you are using for analysis. Write clearly in your own words, proofread, and edit. Type the assignment in the text area on Blackboard, or type it in a Word document and upload it as an attachment. You will be graded on content, thoroughness, organization, and grammar. This assignment is due by 11:59 pm on Sunday, Sept. 2nd.
