Compare and contrast Buchanan and Monderman’s approaches to the production of social order in public spaces Our society is governed by rules, norms (society’s shared set of behavioural expectations and values) and customs that shape behaviour and conduct. Some rules are enforced by law, with penalties for those that do not obey, helping to maintain a stable and predictable social environment known as ‘social order’. Our negotiation of rules and expectations often causes disputes that create a breakdown in social order. Large scale disorder often prompts the government to write new laws or re-think existing social order policies to implement change and remake order. This adapting and renegotiating of rules is continuously required in making and remaking order as society constantly changes and evolves.
Unit 4 Assignment: Constructing a Strong Argument Elizabeth Eckert Kaplan University There is a current state of unrest between police and the communities in the St. Louis area. These communities should develop outreach programs lead by city leaders, enhance police training, and increase community support by the citizens. This is an informal and also a persuading statement.

In my paper, I will use logos as a persuasion to demonstrate the truth and what is real truth based on statistics.
Unit 7 Writing Assignment Patsy Lynn Shupe Kaplan University CJ100 06/07/2015 Introduction For this essay I have chosen three major social issues that I believe contributes to the need for criminal justice practitioners.

While the criminal justice practitioner can slow the offenders down they will never be able to completely stop organized crime, human trafficking and drug trafficking.
Lastly, community policing implies a commitment to helping neighbourhoods solve crime problems on their own, through community organizations and crime-prevention programs. The most important factor underlying the acceptance of community policing is politics. Groups that too frequently have hostile relations with the police, including African-Americans and Hispanics, are a potent political force in big cities and many smaller ones. When developing departmental policies and choosing police administrators, politicians pay careful attention to how their actions will be received by racial and ethnic minorities. As a result it’s a way for police officers to aspire for higher positions at their job.

Administrative discretion is the exercise of professional expertise and judgment, as opposed to strict adherence to regulations or statutes, in making a decision or performing official acts or duties. Decision making ability comes to mind when thinking of administrative discretion; and when making decisions, public administrators have to rely on the professional expertise of others in an attempt to make their decisions and then use their judgment when making decision(s). As indicated in the text book Max Weber view is that there is the principle of fixed and official jurisdictional areas, which are generally ordered by rules, that is, by laws or administrative regulations. The regular activities required for the purposes of the bureaucratically governed structure are distributed in a fixed way as official duties; the authority to give the commands required for the discharge of these duties is distributed in a stable way and is strictly delimited by rules concerning the coercive means, physical, sacerdotal, or otherwise, which may be placed at the disposal of officials; and methodical provision is made for the regular and continuous fulfillment of these duties and for the execution of the corresponding rights; only persons who have the generally regulated qualifications to serve are employed. In my interpretation of Max Weber's views; laws are in place in society

Adults get harsher sentences because they know better and are more aware of what they are doing is wrong. If an adult committed first-degree murder, they would get life imprisonment, whereas if a 15-year old did the same they would probably receive psychiatric help and be placed in a secure facility. The Youth Criminal Justice Act is more lenient to help reform youth criminals and give them a second chance. The YCJA recognizes that teens are still learning and require guidance. The Adult Court System is stricter because it is a lot more difficult to reform an adult because they are fully grown and already have their own views on things, which are harder to reverse after living by them for so long.
