Multiple Choice

Case 10-1
Scott is a 24-year-old high school dropout. He has been in and out of trouble with the law since he was a teenager, committing mostly public nuisance offenses such as disorderly conduct and public intoxication. His girlfriend just broke up with him because he had no ambition in his life and she did not want to take care of him. She threw him out of her apartment. Scott just agreed to plead guilty for the crime of burglary after he broke into his exgirlfriend's car to steal the change that she keeps in the cup-holder.
-The prosecutor in the case expresses concern that Scott is headed down the wrong path and suggests a little prison time would shake him up. The defense attorney in the case believes that it is not necessary to imprison Scott for this offense. Even though the law states that Scott can serve up to 5 years in a state prison for his offense, his attorney believes that prison resources are too scarce and that Scott is an offender who qualifies for a community- based sanction.
