Answer:

Availability heuristic

Explanation:

In psychology, the availability bias or availability heuristic refers to a bias that refers to the phenomenon by which people rely on the information that first comes to their mind (or that come to their minds more easily) in order to have an opinion about a subject. In other words, you rely on the information that first comes to your mind.

In this example, Dolores has moved to a big city and she has recently read about street crime in one of the city's neighborhoods, however she is more at risk of harm from reckless drivers. Since <u>she is relying in the information that first comes to her mind (since she has been reading about it) instead of the actual risk that there is in the city,</u> she would be using the availability heuristic.

expeople1 [14]
I believe the answer is: predictive

Officers who use predictive policing would use statistical data that gathered by their scouts to predict potential crimes that could happen in the future.
Example of this would be when they determine the cargo positions of a drug dealer after calculating the time that has passed between past supply and the current time.

What is a unicameral congress?<br> Plz explain!<br> Thank you!
Alexandra [31]

In government, unicameralism (Latin uni-, "one" and camera, "chamber") is the practice of having a single legislative or parliamentary chamber. Thus, a unicameral parliament or unicameral legislature is a legislature which consists of a single chamber or house.

Unicameral legislatures exist when there is no widely perceived need for multicameralism. Many multicameral legislatures were created to give separate voices to different sectors of society. Multiple chambers allowed, for example, for a guaranteed representation of different social classes (as in the Parliament of the United Kingdom or the French States-General). Sometimes, as in New Zealand and Denmark, unicameralism comes about through the abolition of one of two bicameral chambers, or, as in Sweden, through the merger of the two chambers into a single one, while in others a second chamber has never existed from the beginning.

The principal advantage of a unicameral system is more democratic and efficient lawmaking, as the legislative process is simpler and there is no possibility of deadlock between two chambers. Proponents of unicameralism have also argued that it reduces costs, even if the number of legislators stays the same, since there are fewer institutions to maintain and support financially. Proponents of bicameral legislatures say that this offers the opportunity to re-debate and correct errors in either chamber in parallel, and in some cases to introduce legislation in either chamber.
