Public Administration Assignment 3
In 2016, Brock Turner made national headlines related to his sexual assault and subsequent 6 month sentence.
Search the Internet for more information regarding the Turner case, including his trial, sentence, and subsequent media response.
Search the Internet for another more recent sexual assault on a college-campus (nationwide). Research that case, the facts, the trial, and the outcome.
Based on your research and utilizing the proper terminology from your textbook, answer the following questions:
- Do you agree with the sentence given to Brock Turner? Why or why not?
- Did the punishment in the case you chose seem to match Mr. Turner’s? If so, why? If not, what factors do you think led to a higher/lower sentence?
