Our criminal justice system is inherently
flawed because it relies on amateur juries of
decent citizens, who lack the perspective to
understand the criminal mind. To have an
effective criminal justice system would
require professional juries, who would be
able to deal with these criminals in a way
that gets results.
The argument above depends on which of
the following assumptions?
A. Professional jurors will be more reliable
than amateur jurors because they will not
attempt to avoid jury duty.
B. Professional jurors will not be burdened
by the biases against race, gender, and
religion that amateur jurors bring into the
courtroom.
C. Dealing with criminals in a way that gets
results requires an understanding of the
criminal mind.
D. No amount of professional training can
impart the perspective of the criminal
mind necessary to run an effective
criminal justice system.
E. Jurors possessing the perspective to
understand the criminal mind are unfit to
serve on a jury, because they are likely to
be criminals.
is C the right answer?
