You must create a court system for the newly created state of Puerto Rico. You are to work under the assumption that Puerto Rico has just been admitted as the 51st state and build your court system from the bottom up. To be certain you understand how courts are organized in other states, you must research at least three current state court systems, within the United States, and use those systems to create Puerto Rico’s system. Do not use Puerto Rico’s current system as one of your examples. You must describe your proposal for creating Puerto Rico’s municipal courts, major trial courts, appellate courts, and the state’s highest court. Include geographic jurisdictions.
You must also describe how judges will be chosen for each court and must discuss how judicial and attorney ethical standards will be structured and enforced. You should conduct basic research on Puerto Rico (size, geography, population, existing counties or municipios, etc.) to be certain your proposed system will actually work.
Remember to provide citations when you borrow some idea or structure from another state.
The body (not including cover page, works cited/bibliography, etc.) of the paper must be 9-12 pages in length, double spaced, using Times New Roman 12-point font. A works cited page or bibliography (depending on the citation system used) must be included. Submitting too many pages will have the same result as submitting too few pages. Any images, charts, etc., used in the paper should be submitted as exhibits and are not included in the page count requirement.

Reading Assignment 3
Social Disorganization and Collective Efficacy
Introduction, Tammy L. Anderson / https://www.researchgate.net/profile/T-Anderson-2/…
Introduction and Growth of Chicago and Differentiation of Local Areas from Juvenile Delinquency and Urban Areas, Clifford R. Shaw and Henry D. McKay /
Collective Efficacy Theory: Lessons Learned and Directions for Future Inquiry, Robert J. Sampson /
The Urban Ecology of Bias Crime: A Study of Disorganized and Defended Neighborhoods, Ryken Grattet /
Connections: The Prison Community from a Social Disorganization and Collective Efficacy Perspective, Lori Sexton, Critical Thinking Questions /
Deliverable Length: 2-3 pages (Each answer should be 1-1.5 pages long)
Answer two questions:
1. Shaw and McKay’s delinquency studies link the growth and differentiation of Chicago to social disorganization and crime rates in city neighborhoods. Summarize the various concentric zones of the map of Chicago as discussed on pp. 109-110. Which zone has the highest rates of crime/delinquency and why?
2. Discuss in detail Sampson’s concept of collective efficacy (pp. 128-129). Do you think collective efficacy adequately is an adequate explanation for lower crime rates in city neighborhoods? Why or why not?
3. Sexton attempts to apply the concepts of social disorganization and collective efficacy to the study of prisons as total institutions. Do you think her argument is convincing? Pay particular attention to her treatment of prison violence and collective efficacy as it relates to the community of transgender prisoners.

Introduce your essay by briefly stating your answer to the question and how you

Introduce your essay by briefly stating your answer to the question and how you will make it, sketching out the structure of your argument. Remember: an essay that does not answer the question set is not a proper essay, and an introduction that does not preview the answer given in the essay is not a proper introduction!
Develop your argument in a logical sequence of points, one main point per paragraph, introducing each with an appropriate topic sentence. This should signal the content of the paragraph. Your tutor should be able just to read the topic sentences of your essay and understand your argument in a nutshell. Topic sentences should therefore be argumentative and not descriiptive. E.g. “Further evidence that liberals do not believe that human nature is necessarily good is found in the work of X”, not “In Book X, Author Y says Z”.
Briefly conclude your essay by summing up the core argument. Check that it actually matches the introduction and the content of your essay. If you have argued successfully, the argument should be clear all the way through. If you are only making an argument in the final paragraph, you have failed to make an argument and must re-draft the essay.
Readings that the essay should be based on:

Waltz, K.N. (1979/ 2010) Theory of International Politics (Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley), pp. 60-78, 88-99, 102-114. [TColl JZ1242.WAL] WHOLE BOOK ATTACHED

=========================================================================
Consider the following questions when writing your journal entry. You do not need to answer all questions, but you should address at least one of the questions. Aim for more than a summary, and use your write-up to show your understanding of the readings. Where possible, deepen your discussion by adding comparisons, addressing points of agreement or disagreement, or adding critiques (refer to comments given on previous assignments). Your answer should be in paragraph form with proofread, clear prose, between 300 and 500 words.
In Week 4, we will focus primarily on Benedict Anderson’s “Imagined Communities” discussion. We will read excerpts from Weber’s and Anderson’s books (see announcement for specifics). We will work on building connections between the themes introduced in Week 3 and the readings in Week 4.
How does Benedict Anderson’s discussion of “imagined communities” compare to……Smith’s ethno-symbolism? On what might they agree or disagree?
…Hasting’s discussion of English nationalism as the prototypical first nation? Compare their explanations for nation formation.
…Gellner’s focus on modernity? Compare their approaches to understanding nations and nationalism.
How does Eugen Weber’s explanation for the creation of a French nation relate to others we have read? How does he explain the nation-building and nationalism?

Deliverable Length: 2-3 pages (Each answer should be 1-1.5 pages long)

Answer two questions:
Discuss Merton’s concept of anomie (the disjunction of cultural goals, institutionalized means, and the actual distribution of opportunities (e.g., educational, economic) to achieve the cultural goals. What is the most important cultural goal according to Merton? Define and discuss the five individual adaptations to anomie Merton identifies.

Define and discuss Hagedorn’s ideal types of “homeboys, dope fiends, legits, and new jacks” (p. 57). Pay particular attention to how each of these types represents Merton’s five adaptations to anomie. How does Hagedorn update Merton’s theory with the addition of racial discrimination as obstacle to goal achievement?

In his general strain theory, Agnew extends Merton’s anomie to factors influencing community deviance. Identify and discuss any five of the factors increasing the likelihood of a criminal response (pp. 81-84).
