The national council on crime and delinquency recently released a study. They say nearly 80 percent of U.S voters are worried about the number of prisoners who are released every year. The same amount of people worry about crime in their neighborhoods. The majority of people 87% support providing therapy and treatment for prisoners. Among those surveyed, 70 percent even support the idea of continuing treatment after they are released.

2.Susan is 16 years old and watches many movies; however, she is not allowed to buy or see many of the movies that interest her because they are rated "R" movies, and she is too young. She is writing a paper about why she believes the policy about buying an "R" movie ticket should be changed. She has organized her thoughts into the following chart.
The theater policy is ridiculous, a movie board who I never met gets to decide how mature and responsible I am. I'm responsible for driving a 2-ton car but not responsible enought to see a two-hour movie. I'm responsible for getting good grades in school and being a good student and that is more important than the entertainment I choose. I'm responsible enough to have a job where I get paid a weekly paycheck, but I still can't use that paycheck to buy what I want.
Teenagers less than 16 years should not be allowed to see “R” rated movies.
Teenagers older than 16 years should be allowed to see R rated movies.
There are things that can harm a teenager more than "R" rated movies. THIS ONE
I agree with your first answer but not with the second.
If Monica used the article as a source for her paper on how the criminal justice system should be changed, the following quote would best support her thesis:
"The majority of people (87%) support providing therapy and treatment for prisoners."
This quote directly supports Monica's belief that prisoners should have treatment and counseling while they are in prison.
Similarly, if Susan used the chart as part of her paper on why she believes the policy about buying an "R" movie ticket should be changed, the following statement from the chart would best support her thesis:
"There are things that can harm a teenager more than 'R' rated movies."
This statement aligns with Susan's argument that there are more important factors to consider when determining whether teenagers should be allowed to see 'R' rated movies, suggesting that the current policy is unreasonable.
