    Modern criminal justice concepts and practices originate from four main groups, natural law, legal positivism, legal realism, and the sociological perspective; in which each group either is distinctively different or shows some traits of other theories but, each can be exemplified to show their uniqueness.

    “The Fast-Food Fight” Some may argue that fast-food has become the new tobacco. Over the years, we have become highly educated on the health related concerns of smoking, as well as the significant health issues associated with overeating. Fast-food consumption has caused great alarm among Americans and is a controversial issue of who is to blame as well as who should take action.
