Investigate the role of restoration in the response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Where in the overall process of the response does restoration play a role? Who is responsible for it? What is the NOAA’s role? For your second post, read some of the proposed strategies by clicking on the icons on the map provided at http://www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov/restoration/early-restoration/early-restoration-projects-atlas/.

In the year 2100, there was a young man named Jim who could travel through time. This young man has had serious infractions with the juvenile justice system. He has decided to travel back through time to start his life over.

He has a choice of two time periods. One is during the colonial period of America, and the other is during the early 21st century. Knowing Jim’s propensity for finding trouble, what would happen to him if he committed the crime of breaking and entering with the aggravating circumstances of assault during the colonial period? What would happen to him if he committed the same crime in the 21st century? This assignment will cover the history of the juvenile justice system, juvenile courts, and corrections, as well as theories that would be related to Jim and treatment options during both periods of time.
