This is mostly an opinion piece, so whatever side you choose make sure to provide reasoning (this can be ethos, pathos, or logos). If your not sure what side to choose, do some research first.

<h2 /><h2>Thesis</h2>

Complex sentence(s) answering all parts of the prompt briefly. Max 3 sentences. This should come AFTER background information on your topic. So in this case, provide a few details about crime, facial recognition, and public involvement/response that align with your thesis (answer to all prompt questions). As long as you answer the question in a "introduction" and list reasons in "body paragraphs", you will do great!
