However, when Pearl runs ahead of her mother, the clouds disperse to reveal the sun 's rays, which end up illuminating Pearl. The sun only shines on Pearl at…

of dice. They just roll the dice and give you the amount of years the dice land on. For example we did research and found 6 people who committed the same crime but was of different racist. What would be the percentage of them receiving the same punishment as the rest? We would really never know the truth for which a judge can choose not to speak on why they decided to give a person that long of a sentence.

Mesopotamian king known for writing the earliest form of written law in the Mesopotamian and Greek culture (Schmalleger, 2001). One might be familiar with the saying “an eye for an eye” from there the American Colonies received the first forms of punishment from orators, philosophers, Greeks, plays, and poetry.

Restorative justice ways are a very controversial topic. Some people don’t believe in restorative justice because it is giving offenders a second chance. Restorative prisons are a part of restorative justice that can positively impact many people. The individuals affected can be anyone who was involved in the crime in some way.
