Answer:

B. Reduce your speed to 15 mph

Explanation:

If you can't clearly see 100 ft in all directions as you approach an intersection, reduce your speed to 15 mph so you'll have time to stop if another vehicle appears suddenly. Any time your view around an intersection is obstructed by parked cars, foliage, buildings, or other objects, you should enter the intersection slowly so you can check for cross traffic before you proceed.

Unit 2 Critical Thinking Questions Please Help!

mart [117]

Answer:

1. Which theory discussed in the lesson do you think best explains why crime happens? Why do you think that this theory is best?

I believe the psychoanalytic theory best explains why people commit crimes because it goes into peoples personalities, and our minds are where all of the answers truly are.

2. Do you think that individuals accused of crimes should be able to use an insanity defense? Why or why not?

I think that if the individual really was sick or insane at the time, then they should be able to use the defense. But not everybody should be allowed to claim insanity to get out of crime, tests need to be done.

3. Do you think that weather affects crime? Why or why not? Explain some of the ways that scholars think weather and/or the time of day may affect criminal behavior?

I believe that weather does affect crime, when its hot out people become more irritated and are most likely to commit crime compared to when its cold out. Scholars think that extreme hot and cold temperatures keep people away from each other and that this creates fewer opportunities for crimes like assault. The time of the day also affects the opportunity of a crime, as people are often in situations riper for crimes like assaults during the evening hours and on weekends.

4. Modeling theory suggests that we learn aggressive and violent behavior. Do you think that violence in the media (including movies, television, and video games) has any effect on criminal behavior? Why or why not? Do you think that anything should be done to censor violence in the media?

I do understand why violence in the media can portray individuals actions. People see these acts commited and may take into their own account to commit them. But everyone has had thoughts on their own, to fight a sibling or a friend. These can happen without even playing a movie with violence in it. I also believe that many people can recognize what appropriate ways to defend themselves without shooting someone. It is about recognizing what is appropriate and what is not.

5. Eysenck argues that certain personality types are more likely to engage in criminal behavior. Do you think that our personalities contribute to whether we commit crimes or not? Why or why not?

I think that our personalities contribute to crimes that are committed. If someone had social problems and anger issues, they would be more likely to commit a crime compared to a properly socialized person who has their anger under control.

Imagine you are a typical judge. After college, you went to law school. Then you passed a difficult bar exam to be licensed to p

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

As a judge, you should be required to pick from a limited range of sentences for each offense.

Explanation:

Some may argue that having passed a difficult bar exam to be licensed to practice law, spending years prosecuting or defending criminal cases, and being involved in thousands of criminal trials should qualify a judge to be free to make any sentencing decision they want—but this notion is incorrect.

Although judges tend to be extremely experienced and highly intelligent, granting judges too much leeway in sentencing decisions leads to issues like sentencing disparity (disproportionate sentencing in similar cases). Before the passage of the Sentencing Reform Act (SRA) in 1984, sentencing disparities within the United States justice system were largely unaddressed, so the SRA sought to address sentencing disparities with the imposition of mandatory sentencing guidelines for federal sentences. However, the SRA limited the power of judges to a great extent, an issue that would be addressed in the <em>United States v. Booker</em> (2005) Supreme Court case, with the court ruling the sentencing guidelines imposed by the SRA be deemed advisory rather than mandatory. What can be learned from these legal developments is that sentencing guidelines are necessary for reducing disparity within the justice system, but should remain advisory so as to not place any excessive limitations on the authority or sentencing liberty of judges.

The closest answer to the Supreme Court's legal precedent—our ideal in this case—would be picking from a limited range of sentences for each offense rather than having no limitations at all, as the latter would likely result in a return to the non-uniform, disparity-ridden justice system seen before the passage of the SRA.
