1. Compare And Contrast
One day in July of 1994, a thirty three year old man named Jesse Timmendequas, who had been convicted twice before for sexually assaulting young girls, raped and strangled seven-year-old Megan Kanka. The citizens of Hamilton Township, along with thousands of people from around New Jersey were "outraged" by what had happened to Megan. These people designed a plan, it would call for sex offenders to register with the police in the town they move to and report there whereabouts every thirty days. The New York Times wrote, "Dealing with Sex Offenders" an article saying, that once a criminal has been rehabilitated he will not commit the crime again. They also say that community notification will "destroy the efforts of thousands of law-abiding former sex offenders to re-build their life's." Midge Dector responds to The Times saying, that rehabilitation does not work, and the only way to prevent this from happening again is to keep these criminals in prison.
The writer of The New York Times article starts out unemotional. He does so by using the phases "It was a genuine tragedy" and "Small wonder." He writes only about the facts. He also tells how the people of New Jersey, proposed a plan to crack down on sex offenders and how the governor and the speaker of the New York Assembly were in favor of the plan. He does not state his argument till the middle of the article. He does this, so that readers will read more than the first line and think that the times is in favor of defending sex offenders. .
In the middle of the fourth paragraph is where we find out where the writer stands on community notification. He says, "Some proposals can do more harm than good." He also says, "careful studies" show that once a criminal has been "rehabilitated", they are less likely to commit the same crime again. If he were to give the names of those studies, his evidence would be more compelling to the reader.
