In 200 words or more, the third assignment will be to define horizontal dimension. Find an incident, case, or article involving an officer or officers when you perceive that horizontal dimension influenced the behavior of law and provide an explanation on the direction the law took. Also ask yourself if the crime was upward or downward and if the horizontal status of the offender would make a difference in how most individuals in the US would view the seriousness of that particular offense. Then decide if you feel that the consequences the officer or officers received were justifiable, although horizontal dimension may have played a role in the officer`s actions.
