Law

Each question can be answered with a couple sentences. There are two essay questions that require a short paragraph  1)What is one criminological explanation as to why young men make up a large portion of offenders and victims of violent crime? 2)Watch this short clip about the rise in crime resulting from the recent oil boom in North Dakota (the same one viewed in class on December 9).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19p0dJfEWQ0  What theory can best explain the crime increase in this North Dakota city? Please explain exactly how this theory is illustrated by this case.   3)Two “riots” occur in Miami, Florida. One involves a crowd of drunk spring-breakers who randomly destroy property surrounding the hotel they are staying at. Nobody is arrested; police just force everyone back into their rooms. In another incident the following day, protestors gather outside a state government building to demand that people receive relief from the economic impacts of Covid-19 and a reform in the police department. One person breaks a glass window and riot police move in and violently disperse the crowd, and arrest several protestors. How would a critical criminologist interpret the distinct treatment of these two groups?   ESSAY QUESTIONS  1)Please watch this video about a former white supremacist (the same video we viewed in class on December 7): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJIt0qC66NA&feature=emb_logo Then, explain three theories from the course that can help us understand the criminality of this man. Please be as specific as possible in explaining HOW parts of this man’s story reflect a particular theory. (ESSAY QUESTION )   2)What can the criminal justice system learn from life-course theorists such as R. J. Sampson or Akers to develop better rehabilitation and re-entry programs for offenders? In your answer, mention the importance of social capital, “turning points,” and “life domains.”(ESSAY QUESTION)

. A person with a disability is considering moving to the United States. However, they are concerned about encountering discrimination and other barriers due to their disability. They write to you for advice about what their rights would be under American disability laws. Write back to them, for no more than a page single-spaced (or two pages if double-spaced), about what the major American disability rights laws require, protect, and prohibit. [Note that I am not looking for a list of every disability rights law. I want to hear, in your own words, what you think are a few major issues a person with a disability might face, and what the law says about them. For example, “you might have a problem finding an accessible home. Here’s what the Fair Housing Act and the ADA say about housing . . .]. 2.

There are two scenarios pertaining to law. Answer each question to the best of your ability. I have attached the questions or you can read below for the questions.  Scenario 1: The city of New York issued a permit to a rock band to put on a concert in the band shell in Central Park. The permit specified that the music always remain at a “reasonable” level. The concert began in front of a live audience of 250,000 fervent fans. The band performed. Its music was played through a loud speaker system of 50,000 decibels. The audience screamed its appreciation of the music, adding another 20,000 decibels to the sound coming from the concert. Mr. And Ms. Citizen lived on Central Park West with their living room and bedroom windows directly facing the park. They were the parents of a two year old son and a six year old daughter who both slept with bedroom windows facing the park. Upon learning that the City had authorized the concert the Citizens complained to their elected officials that the concert would interfere with their children’s sleep. They received no relief from the City. Aware that the concert was about to start, the Citizen’s had their attorneys obtain a court order directing the City to stop the concert. When the first musical notes were played the loud noise awakened both babies who screamed in terror from the noise. The Citizens directed the lawyer’s to serve the court order on the band which ignored it and completed the concert Question ; The issues involved in the lawsuit. Who should win? Why? What liability might the parties face? Are there any constitutional issues to litigate? Scenario 2: The New York state legislature, upon receiving the results of the latest census, learned that New York State would have the number of representatives in the United States House of Representatives reduced from thirty-eight to thirty-five. This required that the state legislature redraw the remaining thirty-five congressional districts so that the areas previously represented by the three lost districts be represented in Congress. The three lost districts had previously been represented by two Republicans and one Democrat. The New York State Assembly was under the firm control of the Democratic Party. The New York State Senate was under the slim control of the Republican Party. The leaders of both parties conferred and agreed to redistrict the congressional seats in such a manner that all three congressional seats would be winnable by white Democrats and the New York State Senate would be always controllable by white Republicans. The New York State Assembly would be redistricted in such a way that it was always controllable by Black and Hispanic members from New York City. These changes were enacted into law. Interested citizens sued. They alleged that the new lines were unconstitutionally discriminatory and should be more fairly drawn. Question; The issues before the court. Who do you think will win? Why?

please answer following 7 essay questions and numbered it each question properly this is my final exam  What is your position on the Romano case? Use either Dworkin or Mezey to support your position.? Some inclusive legal positivists believe that “ought” statements should be derived from “is” statements. That is to say we should determine what “ought to be done” by evaluating what “is” or “has been done”. Do you see evidence of this in today’s legal system? Is this theory present in the Romano case?   Why does James Boyd White think law and literature are necessarily intertwined? Do you agree? Why ? How can literature help you to become a better citizen or lawyer?    Explain Dworkin’s theory of law. Do you think he would agree or disagree with the decision of the court in the Romano case?  Give clear examples from the case that support your reasoning.   Finnis, a critic of legal positivism states that “For a judge and for a lawyer trying to track judicial reasoning, the law has a double life”. The first life is a.) “its existence as the sheer fact that certain people have done such and such in the past and that certain people now have such and such dispositions to decide and act” and the second being b). “its existence as standards directive for the conscientious deliberations of those whose responsibility is to decide according to law” What do you think the he means by this statement and is it present in the decision of this case?    Naomi Mezey discusses “law as culture” as distinguished from “law and culture”. What does she mean? Do you think law and culture should be separate? Why? Is ‘law as culture” present in this case? Do you think Socrates would agree with this viewpoint?   How would Feinberg analyze the rights and duties present in this case? Give clear examples from the case.

The state legislature recognizes the need to focus efforts and resources on criminal justice reform. Acting as a state policy analyst and building on the annotated bibliography and literature review you have completed, propose 2 policy alternatives to address criminal justice reform.  Your readings in the course have exposed you to many of the key topics in criminal justice while showing you the importance of research and theories to the development of sound policies. You have seen how the writing in the text and other sources is not mere opinion or unsupported assertions. Rather, the work is built upon existing knowledge and contemporary studies.  As you consider how to advise the legislature on how to address criminal justice reform in your state, you must rely on factual information and utilize a theoretical foundation. Criminal behavior results from a variety of factors explained through various theoretical perspectives. One or more theories may draw your attention as instructive about the issues surrounding criminal behavior. Have these theories been supported by research?  Assignment Guidelines You are a policy analyst in the legislative affairs office of your state legislature. The criminal justice committee of the legislature has requested recommendations about how to address criminal justice reform in the state. You must conduct research and assemble 2 possible policy initiatives in your proposal. Use the 7 step process outlined in the MUSE link, CHDS Policy Options Analysis. Include the 7 steps in your proposal. Define the Problem Construct Alternative Solutions Criteria for Judging Success of Proposed Solutions Projected outcomes for alternative Solutions Analyze Trade-Offs for Solutions Choose Best Solutions  Explain Recommendations. Address the following in 3–4 pages: Prepare a professional policy memo to the criminal justice committee outlining the actions to be taken, funding sources, and implementation challenges that may arise for each alternative.  Compare and contrast the two policy recommendations. How would you evaluate whether either policy was successful after it was implemented?  How will you utilize your research from the first 3 weeks? Explain.
