[OOC: Handwave the final with an idea of how you did if you must, but you know you want to answer the questions, come on. A big thanks to rory__gilmore who has helped me out so much with this class over the entire fake school year. Have some cookies! Anyway, work is likely to be murderous today, so probably slowplay if you want interaction. Class Info Post.]

"Welcome to your final Advanced Criminal Justice session, students!" Tick said after everyone was in the room. "People who had stuff to turn in, please do so now so you have it off of your mind."

"In just a moment, you'll have six questions of Justicey goodness. Please answer them to the best of your abilities and then you're done with my class!"

"Before you leave, though, please say a farewell to Lockheed. He'll be leaving us next week for greener pastures. He seems to claim that his work here is done, whatever that actually means."

1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:

- drawn from the weeds
- brave like soldiers
- falling down under the pale moonlight
- like a someone broken
- stand in the wind
- free like water
- warmth of the sun
- both been shaken

Using five or more will gain extra credit.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?

Extra credit will be given to those who write their answer in the style of Dr. Seuss.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

A) A marmoset steals a pie from a mouse and retreats to a tree. You are unable to reach it, no matter how you try. How will you negotiate with the tiny miscreant and/or victim? (Bear in mind that these are magical animals who can talk, of course.)

B) A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?

The front wheel represent the courts, they put the law into practice and steer the system into the right direction. The rear wheels are the police and the prisons, they bring balance to the Justice system. The police enforces the law in daily life and the prisons punishes those that do not abide by it.

2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:…

While Justice is actually a big part of our daily life, it wasn’t until these classes that I realised just how much a part it was. Justice was drawn from the weeds of my mind thanks to professor Tick. He made us understand that those who fight for Justice must be brave like soldiers even if that sometimes means that we’ll end up falling down under the pale moonlight. When Justice prevails, society can be free like water. Every civilian can do as they want as long as the follow the riverbed that the laws have laid out for us and there society can back underneath the warmth of the sun and shine. However there are always those who feel a need to stand in the wind and go against the law. Still, whether we follow the law or not, we both be shaken without it because it is a guideline in our lives and we’d all be like a someone broken if there was no Justice.

3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?

Justice is worth fighting for even if sometimes the lines between right and good tend to be blurry.

4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?

I would try to balance a spoon on the tip of my nose to show how precious the balance between Justice and chaos is.

5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.

Justice in Fandom seems to somehow find its own sort of balance. I think however that we could use a proper courthouse because it feels like the Sheriff is a bit arbitrary in her decisions.

6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:

A) A marmoset steals a pie from a mouse and retreats to a tree. You are unable to reach it, no matter how you try. How will you negotiate with the tiny miscreant and/or victim? (Bear in mind that these are magical animals who can talk, of course.)

I would compensate for the mouse’s loss (as I am assuming the marmoset will eat the pie immediately) and then try to talk the marmoset into getting out of the tree. I would try to find out its reasons for stealing the pie. Is the marmoset starving and unable to buy food? Or is it just being greedy. If the marmoset refuses to come down, I would try to lure it with an even bigger pie and then deliver it to the marmoset court.

B) A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?

The average person can probably do not much more than keep an eye out for this criminal and make sure that he doesn’t repeat his crimes. If he does, one should contact the police.
