In the course of stealing and destroying evidence, Monika committed several other crimes—mugging a police officer, setting fire to a crime scene, and breaking into the police station. Her actions have directly threatened public safety and have made it difficult to prosecute other criminals. Someone will have to pay to repair the damage caused by the fire and break-in.

In a short essay (three to four paragraphs), answer these questions:

If you were the judge in charge of sentencing, what criminal sanctions would you use to punish Monika, deter future crime, and ensure public safety?
What corrections programs would you use to support rehabilitation and compensate victims?
