Of course, people can choose to shut down the market, but they still exist underground. This is not good enough; the drugs are still there. For those drug seller, Kennedy uses the same way as usual, give notice to them and let them do not sell the drugs there, or arrest them.

    This relates to the theme humans working together to solve problems because in Ghettoside and in other violent cities many gang members only know how to use guns to solve their problems, but in Chicago’s counseling program they are taught different ways to approach people they have a problem with, without using a gun. In Ghettoside, friends, siblings and even parents set up fights for children so that they can solve it by fighting instead of shooting at each other. It isn’t the ideal way to solve a problem, but it is better than having kids be killed because they don’t like each…

    This comes at a time when the Cold War is raging between the U.S. and the Soviets. A new president has just been elected, and the Soviets are fighting satellite wars throughout Asia in an attempt to spread Communism. In addition to this, there is an arms race between the two. Thermonuclear destruction isn’t something most people find appealing, so Kennedy definitely appealed to the people by showing his plan of peace, rather than trying to escalate things further between the two countries. There were also issues of civil rights at home.…

Since he was a liberalist he was all about being equal and how to change that in America.

    3. In Tommie Shelby’s book, “Dark Ghettos: Injustice, Dissent, and Reform,” he argues that residents of dark ghettos do not have the same civic obligation as citizens who reside outside of these ghettos do because civic obligations are rooted in reciprocity and the residents of dark ghettos are disenfranchised and discriminated against to the point that they are not receiving the benefits and protections that they should from society. I completely agree with Shelby’s position, I don’t think that those who are severely oppressed have to comply with civic duties because these duties often times are used to perpetuate their oppression and because by disregarding societal norms and laws the oppressed can force the society to change for the better and become more egalitarian.…

    In recent years, there has been a large rise of the presence of gangs in communities, both lower-income and higher-income, which has decreased the overall feeling of safety in communities. Such rises in gang-related crime have caused a more aggressive approach by law enforcement agencies to combat these gang activities, which have even included justifying stereotyping and racial profiling due to the labels of gangs being primarily associated with non-white communities (Duran, 2015). The implications that this has carried for the criminal justice system have been severe in that many members of society are beginning to make themselves more aware of police practices as well as Constitutional law. This sudden interest in such practices has developed due to an increasing need to protect the rights of the people because the government has been accused of failing to do so. Again, applying the consensus and conflict models of criminal justice and how they apply to anti-gang activity, there is a fine line that must be defined.…
