Drawing from the Reiman readings, construct a criminal justice system that 
would not maintain and encourage a stable and visible class of criminals.
That is, what would Reiman's "ideal type" look like? 
What would be some of its charactistics and how would we do it?) (examples: 
would would courts be like; what would punishments be like? What kinds of 
crimes would be punished?)
HINT: The trick to this paper lies in recognizing a) How Reiman defines
"criminal justice system," and b) Developing his concept of "justice."

In short, can his views be realistically implemented? What are the drawbacks?
What obstacles lie in the way? How could they be overcome?
