The Chapter opens up with the "Media and Criminal Justice" feature about random acts of violence and criminal omissions that arereported everyday in America in just about every newspaper company. From reports of thefts and robberies, to assualt, homicidesand murder. The question in this chapter is, "How concerned about crime should we be"?! During the 1960's, Presidents Kennedy and Johnson failed to raise awareness on crime until Johnson was convinced by Senator Barry Goldwater for the importance of the public's awareness as far as crime. So, Since the 1960s, the public started to be more concernwith crime. Another thing is that the fear of crime leads many people to give up what they love or enjoy doing, making them moreworried about their state with wherever they go or even at night. I also learned that Crime is not just forms of conduct that societyand its lawmakers prohibits to maintain order, but that its a natural phenomenon because everyone have different motivations, viruteand way of thinking. Important lesson learned in class was that "There are really good people and evil people in this world". Remember, everyones different! Also, as a future law enforcer, keep in mind that you are going to deal with the evil people everydayand you will need "Tough" skin in order to deal with their issues!
