A reflective essay is a type of writing that requires the author to inform the reader about his or her attitude, idea, or impression regarding a given topic. The purpose of a reflective essay is to analyze your ideas and opinions about any topic or current event. A reflective essay is supposed to reveal your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and opinions. In addition, reflective essays may be pointed to answer specific questions.  For your first reflective essay assignment, you will answer ONE of the following questions based on the article “Morals and the Criminal Law” by Richard C. Fuller. You can locate this article in your lesson folder Chapter 1: Crime, Criminal Justice, and Criminology.
1.    What is the fundamental connection between criminal offenses and morality? How does the two overlap each other with respect to how the criminal justice system operates? Why does conflict arise between acts that are criminal but not morality unacceptable? Explain.
2.    Richard Fuller stated that “the degree to which the sphere of conduct defined as criminal coincides with the sphere defined as immoral depends upon the relative homogeneity of moral values within the society represented in any political jurisdiction.” What did Fuller mean by this statement? What are ways the government can create laws that are morally sound without isolating the minority? Explain.
3.     What is the difference between criminal offenses that satisfy society’s moral “minima” and criminal offenses that satisfies society’s ameliorative problems? Why does criminal offenses involving ameliorative dialogue exist? What are examples of each? Explain.
When answering the question of your choosing, it is expected that you formulate an opinion based on the information obtained in the article. Therefore, I suggest you take a lot of notes while reading this article.
