Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 28, Period 1, 04.20.06

[OOC: Continuing "Raid Wiki For Info" Week! Also, I've finally updated the Class Info Post.]

"Hello, students! Today we're discussing two opposing models of Justice. But first, a reminder: there's only a week of classes left!"

"Okay, the two models are the Conflict Model and the Consensus Model. The Conflict Model states that the organizations in the Justice System should - and perhaps do! - come into contention with each other. For example, police are determined to put people in prison and even have clearance rates. Similar stories with the prosecutors. But prison officials may be concerned wiith overcrowding and do what they can to limit their numbers. Perhaps they even let criminals out more easily."

"Another example would be the way that police can be so determined to arrest superheroes sometimes. Or the courts with their fines for public destruction. It's all conflict. Competition, even, to see which wheel on the Tricycle of Justice is the best."

"On the other end of the theoretical teeter totter is the Consensus Model. It says that the Justice System should - and perhaps does! - work together and cooperate. The police and courts work together to send bad people to prison. The prisons hold the bad people. Superheroes assist where they can. The important thing is that, egads, we're on a tricycle and we're having fun! Look at us zoom down this hill! Wheee!"

"Some people have speculated that we shoot for Consensus but Conflict is our reality. My question for you is what do you think about the whole thing? Consensus? Conflict? Are we one? Are we the other? Is one better? What are we doing with our shiny, red tricycle?"

"Please discuss!"

No one is allowed to snicker or they die, just a warning.

"What's a tricycle?" Aeryn asks, because she's missing a piece of information for the metaphor.

There's no snickering. Just staring because it's Aeryn and it's pink and when she told him about it yesterday he didn't realise she'd actually wear it.

"All right, then what's a teeter totter... Did I say that right?"

"Justice is like children's toys?" she asks, because something doesn't quite make sense to her.

"Are they sentient?" she asks curiously.

"So... Children's toys are metaphorically knowledgeable when it comes to justice?"

Rory beamed at Aeryn. "You look nice today," she said politely.

"I said I would wear it," Aeryn tells her.

"Yay!" Rory said happily. "See, not all pink is bad."

"Note to self: no Aeryn hugs." Rory shrugged. "We're competing, anyway."

Aeryn stares at her.

"What?"

Re: Talk, Take Notes, Pass Notes, Etc. [Class 28]

"You and I are up for prom princess," Rory elaborated.

There's more staring.

And then there's burying of the face in the hands.

Anakin blinked at what Aeryn was wearing, then glanced over at where Rory was looking very happy.

Birthdays were strange.

I've got nothing going on until seventh period,, he wrote. Want to have that conversation some time?

Notice the complete lack of commentary on the outfit. Just because Rory was still alive for giving the gift didn't mean that Anakin thought the same courtesy would be extended to him for teasing Aeryn about it.

Aeryn writes back, and has to explain.

Rory made me.

I'm free after this until the end of the school day. I'm up for it.
