See the suggestions above on writing essay responses.  A, chap 2  1) Do you believe the criminal law as it stands is correct in what it labels as crime?  In answering, be sure to review the objections  made by the Defenders of the Present Legal Order and the authors’ responses. 2)   What is meant by speaking of criminal justice as “creative art” and of the “social reality of crime”? B, chap 33)  What is the point made by the discussion of Dorm Room Dealers?  Why do the authors say that the regulatory agencies policing corporate crime are not given the same tools and resources as those given to police fighting less sophisticated crime?4) What factors make it likelier that a middle or upper-class person charged with a crime will be acquitted than a lower-class person charged with the same crime? What are Deferred Prosecution Agreements and Non-Prosecutorial Agreements?  Do they seem effective at stopping corporate crime? C, ch 4 5)  What is meant by the criminal justice-industrial complex?  What points were the authors making by discussing it?  How does understanding it add to your ability to think critically about criminal justice policy?6)  Why is ideology needed in the U. S.? How does the actual level of inequality compared with what people believe and the amount they would like to see?  How would you redistribute wealth, and how does that compare with current levels of inequality?
