Answer to Question 1

Public order crimes often trace their origin to moral crusaders who seek to shape the law to their own way of thinking; Howard Becker calls them moral entrepreneurs.. These rule creators, argues Becker, operate with an absolute certainty that their way is right and that any means are justified to get their way: The crusader is fervent and righteous, often self-righteous.. Today's moral crusaders take on such issues as prayer in school, gun ownership, gay marriage, abortion, and the distribution of sexually explicit books and magazines. Moral crusades are sometimes designed to draw a bright line between: (a) behaviors that are considered morally acceptable, and (b) those that right-thinking people would consider deviant and unacceptable.
