In this 650 - 750 word essay (250 words is roughly one page of double-spaced 12-point font text -- so this assignment asks for 2.25 -3.25 pages of writing; see details below) answer the following question:
How does the history of New York's night court, women's night court, and the midtown community court (as represented here ) demonstrate what seem to be two universal truths of criminal justice policy: (A) there are often unintended consequences of even the most well-meaning of policies and (B) politics more than knowledge often shapes criminal justice policies.
BE SURE THAT:
1. You present evidence in the form of direct quotations related to all three courts; in short, do not ignore one of the courts.
2. You discuss both (A) and (B) from the essay question for all three courts.
3. That each claim in your paper pushes forward a thesis that answers the question I asked above.
In those paragraphs in which you present evidence (but not those, like introductions or conclusions), adopt the cl/ev/wa structure and other instructions in the gray box below.
As always, your CLAIM is the answer to the question and claims, as we have discussed, are stronger if they contain a reason.
