Answer: Rational Choice Theory

Explanation:

What Is Rational Choice Theory?

Rational choice theory states that a person will try to maximize their benefits while reducing their losses using rational reasoning in making this rational choice .

This always correlate with their self-interest meaning they will choose to do what seems to be the best thing for them.

As someone goes for rational choice this will supposedly give them a feeling of fulfilment and maximum benefit.

Max wants the I-Pad but he doesn't have enough cash to buy and he also doesn't want to spend his savings that he has kept for ski trip so he probably wants to have both of these then he goes for something that looks rational to him.

Stealing an I-Pad will mean he gets to have both things his ski trip money will still be there and now he will also have an I-Pad

That is a maximum benefit for him without having lost his money.

Rosa, who operates a Street Tacos restaurant in her apartment, is charged with criminal violations of the local health and build
Ilya [14]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Rosa, who operates a Street Tacos restaurant in her apartment, is charged with criminal violations of the local health and building codes, state license regulations, and federal environmental statutes. To obtain a conviction, the prosecution must

a. persuade three-fourths of the jurors to agree on a guilty verdict.   b. show the evidence as reasonably permitting a guilty verdict.  c. convince the court it is more likely than not that the charges are true  d. prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Rosa committed every essential element of an offense."

Answer:

b. show the evidence as reasonably permitting a guilty verdict.  

Explanation:

When convicting someone for the practice of a criminal offense, the judge imposes the penal sanction that the law provides: penalties of imprisonment, detention, simple imprisonment, restrictive rights and a fine. This conviction has other effects, both criminal and extra-penal. However, for a conviction to be carried out, the judge must reach a conclusion that the defendant is guilty. In order to reach this conclusion, it is necessary to show evidence that proves that the defendant is acting in disagreement with the law and therefore should be punished.

In the case shown in the question, for Rosa to receive a sentence, the charge imposed on her must show evidence as reasonably allowing a guilty verdict.
