1.Of the many problems in the world today, none is as widespread, or as old, as crime. Crime has many forms, including crimes against property, person, and government. Crime, in all its forms, penetrates every layer of society and touches every human being. You may never have been robbed, but you suffer the increased cost of store- bought items because of others’shoplifting.Your house is not worth as much today as it was a few years ago because of the increased crime rate in your neighborhood. Perhaps your business is not doing as well as it used to because tourism is down due to increased terrorism in your part of the world.Crime, especially violent crime, has risen to a point where many people are afraid to walk al one in their own neighborhoods, afraid to open their door after dark, afraid to speak out and voice their own opinions. Some citizens have reacted by arming themselves with various weapons, legal and illegal, to defend themselves. Citizen groups have taken the law into their own hands by forming their own vigilante groups to administer judgment when they feel that their criminal justice system has not performed its duty.Experts argue whether the number of crimes committed is actually on the rise or whether there is simply a rise in the number of crimes reported. This issue is particularly true in cases of marriage violence, the abuse of spouse or children. Throughout much of history, cases of family violence and neglect often went unreported because of the attitude of society, which considered family matters to be private.Other experts argue about who is really to blame for criminal behavior. the individual or society. Researchers in the United States and Canada have identified several factors in society that contribute to the crime rate: massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and a large immigrant population. Other countries are more affected by factors such as politics, government corruption, and religion.(1)What does the passage mainly discuss?A、Crime the widespread problem.B、The results caused by increasing violent crime.C、Factors contributing to the crime rate.D、Citizen groups combating crimes.(2)The word shoplifting in line 4 is closest in meaning to _____________.A、the crime of lifting the banB、the crime of moving the shops awayC、the crime of robbing things from shopsD、the crime of stealing things from shops(3)Why does the author in Paragraph 2 mention citizen groups forming their own vigilante groups?A、To show the criminal justice system is not justB、To show citizens are powerful in combating crimesC、To show crime is a serious social problemD、To show citizens have rights in combating crimes(4)According to the passage, which of the following are the factors contributing to United States’criminal behavior?A、Politics, unemployment, poverty and a large immigrant population.B、Massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and a large immigrant population.C、Politics, government corruption, poverty and religion.D、Massive urbanization, unemployment and poverty, and government corruption.(5)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A、Since you have never been robbed, you are not a victim of crime.B、Some people use illegal weapons to defend themselves.C、Only the individual should be responsible for the criminal behavior.D、Family violence and neglect are considered family matters, and therefore private, so they are not crimes.

3.2 John Dixon is the recently appointed Chief of Police for a major city in the UK. He has inherited a major problem inthat its residents are very concerned with various forms of antisocial behaviour and minor crimes carried out by asmall number of people, which makes living, working, travelling and socialising in the city centre unpleasant ratherthan life threatening. The city’s residents have recently voted for it being one of the five worst cities in the UK in whichto live. There is little or no contact between the police and these residents.The city is split into a number of police districts, each with its own senior officer in charge. Their focus is on theresponse to emergency calls and solving serious crimes in their district rather than the less urgent crimes affectingeveryday living in the city. Response times and serious crime solution rates are the traditional measures by which theirperformance is measured and leave them open to criticism of simply reacting to events. There is little sense of beingpart of a city police force and, consequently, little sharing of information and experience between the different districts.The failure in policing antisocial behaviour in the city is seen as being largely the result of a shortage of resources.There are also important internal and external groups varying in their support or resistance to any necessary changein policing strategy. Key players include the mayor of the city anxious to improve the reputation of the city, the city’spress, traditionally used to highlighting police failures rather than successes and finally the courts of justice, whichare reluctant to take on the increased workload that any moves towards reducing antisocial behaviour would produce.John is aware of the complexity of the problem he faces in changing the way the city is policed to improve the qualityof life of its citizens. He has, however, an impressive track record as a change agent in previous appointments and isconfident that he can bring about the necessary change.Required:(a) Using change management models where appropriate, provide John with a brief report on the nature ofchange needed in the way the city is policed in order to improve the city’s quality of life.

    In spite of all stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at an alarming rate． Most acts of violence were committed by young people． 57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age．
    Everyone agrees that crime is partly a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education,living without a settled home,being parentless,sufferings from other kinds of misfortune, etc．
    There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate． In the first place, some state laws provide a death penalty but some not．Secondly, the Constitution allows every citizen to carry weapons for his own protection． It is therefore possible and easy for anyone in the country to get a gun． Finally, there has been too much shown on TV and too much reported in newspaper of all kinds of crime, the details of which are so accurately described that even children know how to duplicate what they have seen or read．
    All these have resulted in a high frequency of crimes committed both by professional criminals and by nonprofessional ones in murder, drug smuggling, robbery, etc．

    问答题
    ◆Topic 3: Will petty criminals get light punishment?　　Questions for Reference:　　1. A new prosecution guideline was recently released: people convicted of petty crimes may get light punishment if they are minors, the elderly people, and people who have slightly breached the law because of poverty. What do you think of this new law?　　2. This new law is said to be a humane practice and it will help them put their lives back in order and better serve their families. Do you think it can achieve its end?　　3. Some people think that if petty crimes are not punished in a timely way, more serious consequences will follow. What do you think of this argument?

    正确答案： 【参考答案】
    My name is…My registration number is…My topic is: Will petty criminals get light punishment?
    A new prosecution guideline was recently released. It says that if the petty criminals are minors, old or very poor, they may get light punishment. The public hold different attitudes towards this guideline.
    Some people think that the regulation violates the principle that “everyone is equal before the law”. It also breaches the legal principle that citizens’ property is inviolable. But more people, me included, think that the new guideline represents the combination of leniency and severity, and it helps to promote social harmony. Although China is now richer than before, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Therefore, social conflicts may arise due to the widening of such gaps and there is the possibility for those who lack basic social security to violate laws for survival. As a way to tackle these problems, the judicial system surely needs to do something for the disadvantaged group. The stipulation that people who have committed a small crime because of poverty will be exempted from prosecution is actually a kind of protection to the helpless from a legal perspective.
    Furthermore, we all know that the objective of the judicial system is to prevent crimes rather than to punish wrongdoers. If one is severely punished because he steals bread for survival, the punishment may damage his whole life and lead him to commit more serious crimes. Severity does reflect justice and objectivity, but sometimes leniency can be more effective in saving the soul of an individual, because it will affect the hearts and minds of the petty criminals. It reflects tolerance and humanity and may play a more positive role in helping criminals make a fresh start.
    In a word, if the law can show both leniency and severity at the same time, it will be the most
