Based on your readings for this week write a response in at least 250-300 words to the following prompt:
Police officers typically are called upon to exercise discretion when on patrol. Given the observations in Chapter 3 on choice and free will, in what ways or in what situations might the choices of officers be constrained? Are their choices determined? Why or why not?
Do you believe that the choices you make as a student, employee, spouse, mother/father, etc., are determined? Why or why not?
Mindful of the determinism versus indeterminism distinction, are the choices of those who break the law different from your own? If so, how? Why or why not?
