BCC Predictive Accuracy Discussion

 

  • If you could raise the predictive accuracy of your sentencing instrument from 10% to 50% would you allow for the following factors to be used: socioeconomic status, level of education, age at first arrest, parental criminality status, unemployment history and race? If not, why not? Which factors do you find morally troubling?
  • Return to the board and read over the posts of your fellow classmates. Choose at least one classmate and create a post responding to his/her initial post on the Discussion Board. Be thoughtful in your response, indicating your agreement/disagreement with their posting and give a careful reasoning of your position. Please note: in all of your postings/replies, you must demonstrate careful reasoning and logic to bolster your position. Unsubstantiated opinions have no place in this area.
