In the justice system, sentences that seem equal on face value may actually have significant differential impacts when you look at an individual’s life situation and circumstances. This resource helps you analyze the tradeoffs of a particular sentencing and how to make a more equitable decision. More information on a project relevant to this resource may be found below under “Additional Resources.”
This tool offers a set of questions related to tradeoffs and the Five Domains of Wellbeing that you can use as a “check engine light” for you and your work.
Use this tool to identify how a specific policy, project, program or practice will impact different stakeholders’ wellbeing, allowing you to anticipate and address unsustainable tradeoffs.
