were influenced. The hardest
part was deliberation
because we had a weaker
foreperson that was having
difficulty leading the panel to
a concise decision. My main
takeaway was how laws such
as curfew are easier to break
than others in criminals eyes.
The experience was good for
the most part. This allowed
me to see how the
respondent viewed the crime
they commited and how they
think it affects the community.

most challenging thing about
today was getting information
from the respondent. They
were quiet and gave short,
vague answers. The thing I
learned most from this case
is what motivates someone to
steal. For this case it involved
peer pressure and the

the brain. I feel good about

to adding a variety of different
cases and age ranges. I will
use this information to find a
way to help all age ranges

among many types of cases.

for about the respondent. The
challenging part was
questioning the respondent.
He was not forthcoming with
information and his
responses to questions did
not paint the whole picture of
what occured. The main
takeaway from today is how
every case is different and it
is important to hear it from all
perspectives to gain a full
understanding of issues in
today's society. This
experience gave me a
glimpse into how substance
abuse plays a role into cases.
It also showed how a person
