Question

The motorcycle policeman appeared out of nowhere and

pulled Teresa over for speeding. He was friendly and businesslike as he stood by Teresa's open window and issued her a $250 ticket. This is an example of a __________.
a) negative sanction
b) neutral sanction
c) positive sanction
d) street crime

Answer 1

The answer is option (A) negative sanction

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative sanctions are penalties or punishments that are used to enforce obedience or compliance with the law or rules and regulations governing conduct in a particular setting e.g parking and smoking in designated areas.

Teresa broke the rules and regulations of driving on a particular road by over speeding. Hence, she was caught and issued the penalty or punishment of a $250 ticket. Car drivers can also be negatively sanctioned for driving with a broken windscreen or without side mirrors while motorcyclists can receive negative sanctions for riding without helmets.
