The essay need to have a Canadian focus, and the topics need be chosen with the following 9 topics. 1. Consider how race, gender, or class (choose 1 or all 3) impact sentencing among youth or adults (choose one or the other) 2. Diversion programs used with youth in conflict with the law represent net widening rather than a true sentencing alternative. 3. Mandatory minimum sentences are an effective way to lessen sentencing disparities among marginalized groups. 4. Gladue courts (and/or the incorporation of Gladue factors in sentencing) allow Indigenous offenders to be sentenced in a manner that recognizes the impact of colonization and ongoing discrimination, while also helping to lower the overincarceration of Indigenous peoples in Canada. 5. Despite explicit instruction from the Supreme Court of Canada, Gladue factors in sentencing remain underutilized by judges. 6. How did Martinson’s “nothing works” research on offender rehabilitation impact sentencing in Canada? 7. Why are boot camps and other tough on crime approaches with youth ill-advised? 8. Are the ‘dangerous offender’ or ‘long-term offender’ designations applied equally to women and men? 9. Should sentencing consider the victim’s input? How does victim input, like victim-impact statements, align (or not align) with Canada’s sentencing philosophies?
