Hint: Is there a constitutional amendment (to the U.S. Constitution) about victims' rights? If you don't know, I suggest you read the Constitution.
What do you think are the top three critical issues in contemporary law enforcement? What kind of controversy has each of these issues generated? Do you think the controversy is justified?
Sharday's question will never get answered because 1) she piggy-backed on someone else's question and 2) these questions are asking what SHE thinks, not what we tutors think.
To determine the answer, let's go through each option and its description:
A. Federal constitutional reform: This refers to changes made to the United States Constitution at the federal level in order to address victim rights reform. These changes would be implemented nationwide.
B. State constitutional reform: This involves making amendments to individual state constitutions within the United States. Each state would have the opportunity to make changes according to their own specific needs and circumstances.
C. Federal legislation: This refers to the passing of laws by the United States Congress. Federal legislation would impact the entire country.
D. City and county ordinances: These are local laws and regulations that are passed by cities or counties within a state. They are specific to a particular jurisdiction and may differ from one city or county to another.
Based on these descriptions, it is clear that city and county ordinances (option D) do not represent one of the legislative routes for victim rights reform in the United States. Therefore, your intuition is correct, and the answer is D.
