EVALUATION OF THE COURSES GIVEN IN THE SCHOOL AS THEY AFFECTED THE STUDENTS' ATTITUDES TOWARD SOCIAL QUESTIONS AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE DURING THE COURSE AND AFTER THE COURSE WAS COMPLETED.
Abstract
IT WAS FOUND THAT THE USE OF FORCE AND AN AUTHORITATIVE ATTITUDE AS A MEANS OF ATTAINING AN OBJECTIVE LOST GROUND, AS DID THE ACCEPTANCE OF AUTHORITY AND ORDERLINESS. ALSO, TRADITIONAL ATTITUDES TOWARD THE LAW AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AND A CONSERVATIVE ATTITUDE BECAME LESS POPULAR. ON THE OTHER HAND, MODERN CONCEPTS SEEMED TO GAIN GROUND AND THE WORLD IS REGARDED AS MORE CAPABLE OF BEING MANIPULATED. IN GENERAL, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE COURSES ATTAINED THEIR OBJECTIVE, BUT IT IS POINTED OUT THAT IT CANNOT BE ASSUMED THAT ATTITUDES HAVE BEEN CHANGED PERMANENTLY. --IN DUTCH
