Dr. Taylor,
I had a couple questions that I was hoping you could help me
with as I prepare for the exam. What do you mean by "class"
of behaviors in Black's book in specific question #15? Do you
mean strafification, morphology, etc, or something else?
Also, in the set of Garland questions, you ask why white
collar crime and drunk driving are not considered as serious
as they once were according to Garland. I couldn't find any
specific mention of this in his book. Is it just because the
public is not as fearful of these crimes and the media and
politicians don't emphasize them? Please let me know where I
can find these answers. Thanks, Brian
Chris - hmm... not sure .... look carefully at what Hawkins says about
compliance is all I can offer. rbt
When you say pursuing compliance, do you mean enforcement
and/or prosecution? I see how pursuing a prosecution can be
a sub optimal goal, even a bad one at times, but I still
can't make the connection on obtaining compliance being sub
optimal. Am I being too picky with words?

Chris - hmm.... let me put it this way: if and as people are
pursuing
compliance, what is not being pursued? Or stated
differently, in what
ways is compliance a SUB optimal goal? compared to other
possible agency
goals? does this help?

Dr. Taylor,
Specific question #20 of the exam guide asks about
compliance
being a "good" and "bad" goal. I am not sure that Hawkins
makes a distinction or, at least, makes an argument for
compliance as a bad goal. I would say Hawkins argues that
compliance is THE goal of a regulatory agency; however,
perfect compliance is unattainable (page 251). Did I miss
Hawkins' distinction between good and bad, or am I missing
the meaning of the question? Thanks. ck
