Public-order offenders represent the largest percentage of the US prison population.

Public-order offenders are those convicted of a public-order crime. A public-order crime is a crime that disrupts the normal functioning of society and its members.

It is a violation of societal norms and customs. It is differentiated from trifle deviancy by degrees- a deviant behavior is criminalized if it is overly disruptive and can only be controlled through law enforcement.

They are often called ‘victimless’ or ‘complaintless’ as they do not directly harm another party, and at the most only those engaged in the act. Example include the use of illegal drugs from recreation, illegal prostitution, distributing obscene material in public, etc.

Mr. Able is diagnosed with illness anxiety disorder, while Mr. Baker is diagnosed with somatic symptom disorder. How will their
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

c. Mr. Able will fear he has an undetected fatal illness; Mr. Baker will have many vague physical complaints.

Explanation:

Somatic symptom disorder in most cases is a disorder that is involving extreme and long-lasting focus on multiple physical symptoms for which no medical cause is evident.

People who have somatic disorder are not always concerned whether the physical symptom has a medical cause or not, what majorly happens to them is that the psychological factors compound the severity and impairment associated with the physical symptoms.

Illness Anxiety Disorder is a type of disorder which involves severe anxiety over the belief of one having a disease process without any evident physical cause.

The major difference between the two ( somatic disorder and illness anxiety disorder) is that If one or more physical symptoms are severe and associated with anxiety, then the diagnosis is somatic symptom disorder; in illness anxiety disorder the concern is majorly with the idea of being sick instead of the physical symptom itself.

To what political status did Jefferson transition Louisiana after the Louisiana purchase?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Though the Louisiana territory had changed hands between France and Spain a number of times, in 1800 Spain ceded the territory to Napoleon’s France. Napoleon, whose attention was consumed by war in Europe, began to view the territory as a needless burden. In 1803, he volunteered to sell all 828,000 square miles to the United States for the bargain price of $15 million.

Jefferson adhered to a strict interpretation of the Constitution and believed that without a specific enumeration of his right as president to acquire the purchase, buying the Louisiana Territory could plausibly be unconstitutional. The Federalists opposed the purchase for several reasons, chief among them the likelihood that new slave states would enter the Union from the southern parts of the territory.
