The right to vote is a crucial means of recognizing equality in society, a person's equality before the law, and is a way of protecting all of one's other rights. If a person is not allowed to vote, he or she does not have the same chances to make changes to society, or to improve laws and policies affecting their lives, on an equal basis with others in society. The same is true if one is not allowed to be elected. This relegates the disenfranchised person to a position of subjugation to the rest

Written Paper 3: Laws and Order Sex offender legislation is the most important factor to try and keep neighborhoods safe from sexual offenders.

We need to stop giving dangerous people chances. Once you give someone who has done badly a chance nine times out of ten they will do it again. Any sex offender should be punished and kept away so that they have no way of doing it again. I believe a sex offender should be required to register with local authorities, even after serving their sentence in prison, because it protects our people, they’ll possibly do it again, and it’s a law. First, making sure sex offenders register protects our people
There are several methods we use for verbal de-escalation. The first method we use has nothing to do with actually talking and that is “listening”.

Furthermore it doesn’t serve as a deterrent and could not only put the registrant in danger but their family members
