  2. Discuss some of the laws that appear to be differentially enforced by the criminal justice system today. Why do you think this occurs?
  3. Discuss ways in which reinforcement or reinforcement schedules are used in everyday life. How do we use conditioning in the criminal justice system today? What factors seem to determine if the reinforcement is effective?
