After reading the assigned article, please reflect on the following critical thinking questions:
- How might a community respond to a change from a “law enforcement” perspective to an “order maintenance” one? How would the police respond to the change? Would specific communities respond differently? Why or why not?
- If charges such as “Suspicious person” and “vagrancy” exist “because a society wants an officer to have the legal tools to remove undesirable persons from a neighborhood,” what might explain the recent trend towards nonenforcement in these areas?
