Case: Suppose you are the Democratic Party Governor of a midsized state and that you are up for reelection in two years. You were a political science major in college but had a sociology minor with a focus in criminal justice. The crime rate in your state has risen slightly since you took office, and there is growing sentiment in the state's major newspapers and from the Republican Party opposition in the state legislature to lengthen prison terms for serious crime and to build two more prisons for the greater number of prisoners that will be expected. Because of your studies in college, you are skeptical that this approach will reduce crime, and you recognize it will cost millions of dollars. But you also realize that your opponents and some members of the news media are beginning to say that you are soft on crime. What do you do? Explain your answer.

Suggestions (only suggestions) to help deal with the problem of crime, you may wish to do any of the following:

a. Volunteer at an agency that helps troubled teenagers.

b. Volunteer with an organization that helps ex-offenders.

c. Work for an organization that provides early childhood intervention services for at-risk children.
