Carrying out an extrajudicial sanction
Sixteen-year-old Frank recently smashed a grocery storefront window where his girlfriend works, after she tried to break up with him. He even tried to pick a fight with the young guy she’s been seeing from the grocery store. The store owner witnessed the whole thing and watched Frank take off on foot. The police eventually caught Frank and arrested him.
After the police investigation, a youth worker suggested that Frank participate in an extrajudicial sanctions program. This would involve 60 hours of service for the grocery store and completion of an anger management course. Frank has lots of questions about this proposal.
