Document Summary

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire. We need to maintain law and order, human nature needs rules. Social norms - the rules that keep you in line. They"re enforced in home by families first (spanking, grounding, etc) and then in schools. If you messed up, you went to detention. Religion also helps to enforce social norms by threatening hell if you go against their rules. The united states relies on a forced set of rules because of the nation"s diversity and everyone"s different norms and values. Procedural criminal law- once you"ve been suspected of committing a crime, there is a method to get you sanctioned and arrested. These are the steps that are taken against a person to get them in trouble with the law. Uniform crime report- reported by the fbi. There are numbers and percentages of the crime committed. There is a crime clock (how often a particular crime is committed in america. )
