9B. A mood of pessimism reigned among western
intellectuals in the 1920s and 1930s. Why do you think this was the case? Do
you see any inspiration for a more optimistic viewpoint? Given the
circumstances of this period, was pessimism a justified reaction?
10A. The blame for starting World War II falls
squarely on the shoulders of Hitler, Mussolini, and Japan – but could the

prevent the war? How might have history been different if German and Japanese
aggression had been contained in the 1930s?
11B. Why
do you suppose the 1960s was such a tumultuous time? Why did so many social
revolutions emerge in this decade? How do you judge the impact of these social
revolutions? In what ways do these continue in our own time?

QUESTIONS
Question 1.
(a) Drawing on chapters 23, 24, 25, and 27, describe how and why informal processing of youth—such as police and court personnel discretion in how they handle delinquency cases—may benefit youth. (b) Describe how and why it may harm them. (c) What could be done to ensure that personnel discretion helps rather than harms youth? 
Question 2. 
(a) Drawing on chapters 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, and 18, and the Mears et al. (2011) article,
discuss what we know about the effectiveness of juvenile court sanctions (e.g., probation, residential commitment, and transfer to adult court) in reducing recidivism and crime and promoting the well-being of juvenile offenders. (b) Discuss problems that may undermine the effectiveness of the juvenile court. (c) Pick one type of sanction (probation, residential commitment, transfer) and present an argument for how you would improve its effectiveness. 
Question 3. 
Drawing on chapters 34 and 35, identify at least 3 lessons from other countries or either chapter that might be useful in improving juvenile justice in America. As with all the questions, defend your answer through reference to the readings.

When studying any topic, it is first necessary to identify and define the key concepts. In a course on the topic of communities and crime, the two primary concepts are just that — community and crime. Therefore, a main question addressed in the readings for this week is “What is community?” While this may seem like a simple question, it turns out there can be multiple definitions of community, some of which may be more important for studying crime than others. For example, becoming an alumnus of FSU makes you part of a community, but that type of community wouldn’t be very important for understanding how communities can influence crime. 
For this discussion question, describe what you consider to be a valid definition of community when studying crime. You must also explain why that particular definition of community is useful for studying crime. This discussion question is partly based on your own opinion, but you must draw explicitly from the readings to support your arguments.
Important note: Remember that in order to receive full points, your discussion posting must answer all parts of the question that was posed, cite the reading materials, and be thoughtful, clear, organized, professional, and well-written. You do not need to include a bibliography of the readings at the end of your answer, but you do need to provide citations in parentheses within your answer. Theses should include the authors’ last names and the year of publication (e.g. Chaskin 1997).  For more information, be sure to read the section of the syllabus that describes discussion postings.

The instructions for the discussion are below
