Criminal Justice Final Exam

[OOC: Sorry for the delay. Today has been wacky. Standard procedure, though. Get it done by the weekend if possible, Tuesday at the latest. Class Info Link.]

*The Tick is at his desk. In front of him are the exams. Lockheed is on his normal shelf and is waving what appears to be the answer key. More than likely, he's just being a bit of a jerk.*

"Well, class, it's been an interesting semester. My goal was to make this class a Treasure Map of Knowledge. I've tried to give you a Path to Learning Something, but hopefully I also managed to encourage you to use your own Metal Detectors of Pondering so you could find your own path to your own treasure."

"I hope that you will all walk away from here today rich with Gold Doubloons of Understanding. And I also hope that all of you will join me next semester in Advanced Criminal Justice, where we'll be dealing with more advanced maps, more advanced treasure, and more advanced metaphors."

"I will be here during class time next week if you would like to stop by and talk, or even just study for your other exams in a different place than usual. Your semester grades should be posted in this room some time next week as well."

Tick passed out the tests and sat back down as he said, "Good luck on your exams!"

1) Summarize what you learned about forgiveness and its place in the judicial/penal system.

2) Explain how a being who survives repeated murder attempts could be considered a worse criminal than the attempted murderer.

3) While we all love Justice, like with every spoon we sometimes spill some of the soup. So is it best to sometimes let a guilty carrot escape or is it better to get spill free spoons where an innocent piece of leek gets eaten?

4) Give a detailed understanding of the idea of redemption, and what society can do to ensure that Justice is served in the cases of reformed/reforming criminals.

5) List three things you learned about Justice from that book that we don't know the name of or exactly what it's about or who the author is.

6) ESSAY: Create a metaphor involving Justice and ducklings. Keep it between 25-75 words.

Extra Credit -

A) Make up a sentence that has to do with Justice using only words beginning with the letters of your name. Only one word per letter in your name, and each letter can only be used once. They can be arranged in any order as long as they form a complete sentence. (For example, the words in a sentence for Rory could be arranged "Y R G M R L R I O E.") Bonus points if you only use your first name.

B) After taking this class for this long, you should know how to summarize your feelings about Justice and how you feel about those who try to evade it in a brief word or phrase. Go ahead. Give your battlecry!

1) Forgiveness itself has no place in the justice system. Forgiveness is up to the person that was wronged, and justice has nothing to do with that.

2) It would all depend on the matter that brought up the repeated murder attempts.

3) I don't quite understand the question.

4) A criminal is put into jail, and expected to serve their time. If they behave and show that they won't do it again, they may get some time reduced. If they can't even do that, they should stay in longer. Once they are released, society itself can keep an eye on the person, especially as they tend to be a bit more distrustful in general.

5) The author can't write and should be kept from doing so as a form of justice.

6) Justice is like a duckling which forms an army and does things.
