A defendant is charged with beating a victim to death with a set of brass knuckles during the course of a fight in a tavern. The

victim was found to have a pistol on his person at the time of the fight. During the course of the trial, the defendant took the stand in his own defense and testified that the victim threatened him with a gun and the defendant had hit the victim with the brass knuckles in self-defense. To rebut the defendant's claim, the prosecution wishes to place the bartender on the stand, who will testify that two years prior to the attack on the victim, she had seen the defendant approach a customer in her tavern from behind, put on a pair of brass knuckles, and strike the customer a severe blow on the side of the face with a brass-knuckled fist. The prosecutor, in accordance with local court rules, has apprised the defense attorney of the general tenor of the bartender's proposed testimony. As soon as the bartender is sworn in, the defense attorney raises an objection.
How should the court rule on the admissibility of the bartender's testimony?

A Admissible, as substantive evidence that the defendant did not act in self-defense in beating the victim.

B Admissible, to attack the defendant's credibility.

C Inadmissible, because prior bad acts cannot be admitted to prove the defendant's propensity to commit the specific crime with which he is charged.

D Inadmissible, because the defendant has not put his character in issue in this case.

Answer:

Inadmissible, because prior bad acts cannot be admitted to prove the defendant's propensity to commit the specific crime with which he is charged

In ________ the stimulus or experience occurs before the behavior and then gets paired with the behavior.
Andre45 [30]

in <u>classical conditioning</u>, the stimulus or experience occurs before the behavior and then gets paired with the behavior.

Classical conditioning is a behavioral procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus (e.g., food) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (e.g. a triangle). It also refers to the learning process that occurs as a result of this pairing, in which the neutral stimulus begins to elicit a response (e.g., salivation) that is typically similar to the one produced by the potent stimulus.

Classical conditioning is a fundamental behavioral mechanism, and its neural substrates are only now being discovered. Though distinguishing classical conditioning from other forms of associative learning (e.g., instrumental learning and human associative memory) can be difficult at times, a number of observations distinguish them, particularly the contingencies under which learning occurs.

Coercion and selective benefits are used by interest groups to address what issue?
natali 33 [55]
Explain collective action problems and free riding, and how groups get around these problems through benefits of participation (i.e., solidary benefits and purposive benefits), coercion, and selective incentives.

collective action problem; situation in which members of a group would benefit by working together to produce some outcome, but each individual is better off refusing to cooperate and reaping benefits from those who do the work; one individuals efforts will not make a big difference; individual is better off free riding, can not do any work but still enjoy successes of group; even when people agree something would be good, cooperation isn't easy or automatic

free riding; relying on others to contribute to a collective effort and not participating on ones own behalf, but still benefiting from the groups successes

mechanism to promote cooperation: benefits from participation, coercion, selective incentives

soldiery benefits-satisfaction derived from the experience of working with like-minded people, even if the groups efforts do not achieve the desired impact 
purposive benefit- satisfaction that comes from working to achieve a common goal
coercion- requiring participation; ex. labor unions require union dues as condition
selective incentives- benefits only given to members of an interest group
hope this helps.

max2010maxim [7]

Stapleton indicated in the <u>Critical Deaf Theory</u> that audism is a phenomenon that is socially constructed and posits that audism occurs regularly. This is closely linked to deficit error.

<h3>What is Audism?</h3>

This is the practice of discriminating against people who have hearing challenges. This prejudice may occur in the following ways:

  • trying to assist people who are deaf to communicate:
  • asking a person with hearing challenges to read one's lips or write against their wish or preferred mode of communication
  • refusing to get an interpreter at the request of a deaf person.

Audism is very similar to Deficit Error.
