What do you think should be done with mandatory minimum sentencing law

Mandatory sentences have the effect of transferring sentencing power from judges to prosecutors. Prosecutors frequently threaten to bring charges carrying long mandatory minimum sentences and longer guidelines sentences. These threats are effective in scaring a defendant to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence and to give up every factual and legal basis for a defense. As a result, every year at least 95 percent of federal drug defendants plead guilty. CJPF is pleased to have worked with the team that produced the movie, Incarcerating US, to reform mandatory minimums, as well as allies such as FAMM - Families Against Mandatory Minimums.

What's the difference between theme and central idea? Question 1 options: Theme is the main idea of a story, and central idea is

adelina 88 [10]

A theme is a universal lesson learned and the central idea is a one-sentence main idea.

Central idea conveys that the text is about mainly, whereas, theme refers to the author's message, life lesson or moral learned from the story.
A central idea cannot be referred to as the topic of the text, on the other hand, a theme cannot be same as topic.
In one sentence, the central idea can be stated, whereas, themes are repeated and can be multiple.

Therefore, a theme is not the central idea, nor it can act as a topic of the text.
