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!"

So she shrugged, put the pencil away and sent back:
Anytime. That's what friends are for.
And she really kind of wished Angel would look at her so she could smile at him.

Lockheed passed one of his own.
DETENTION
Her name was written on it and Professor Tick's name was roughly signed at the bottom.
Lockheed snickered.

Yeah, that was about his luck lately.
He resumed head desking.
