[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 courts decide the laws, and so steer the Tricycle of Justice, while the police and the prisons provide support and stability for the rest of the tricycle.

You have got to be joking. I can't live with myself.

To be an agent of Justice is to sometimes stand in the wind and be beaten about the face with the gale winds and hailstones of criminal behavior. It's a daunting position to be sure, and doing one's duty in the pursuit of Justice can often leave one feeling like a someone broken, but when the storm of criminal activity breaks it's a rewarding feeling to bask in the warmth of the sun and know that while one's devotion and resolve may have both been shaken by the ordeal, one can look back on a job well done and say "We were brave like soldiers."

Dear God, I hate you.

I will not give a Smurf a shirt.
No matter how much it may flirt
And threaten me with woe and hurt
I will not give a Smurf a shirt.

I feel soup ladles are underappreciated. And that the phrase 'The Ladle of Justice will serve your punishment/reward' has a certain ring to it. If nothing else, I've learned not to underestimate the importance of a good battle cry.

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

If Justice works in Fandom, it's employed as a court jester with a truly black sense of humour. I need only to point to the laundry machine incident as proof.

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

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?

Sir, I have no idea what the average person would do, as "average" is the last term I would use to describe the situations and examples we have studied in this class.

It's not Archie's best work by a long shot, but he tried to watch Crime and Punishment episodes as part of his study routine, and that only confused him more.

[[Now with decent coding. I hope.]]
