Mandatory minimum sentencing takes discretion away from judges and acts as a "get tough" sanction for criminals. The law in Florida states, "For pulling a gun during a crime, a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years is imposed. For certain felony crimes or attempted felonies, the 10-year mandatory sentence is authorized if the criminal possessed a gun (or destructive device). For firing the gun during a crime, the mandatory minimum sentence is 20 years. For injuring or killing a victim by firing the gun during a crime, a mandatory minimum sentence from 25 years to life in prison is authorized" (Mandatory Sentences Under the 10-20-Life Law. Florida Department of Corrections).Let’s review two concepts before you make a decision about this scene.Which perspective on criminal justice would relate to the 10-20-Life law?nonintervention perspectivecrime control perspectiverestorative justice perspective
