Example Question #5 : Criminal Justice System
A person sees two young men in front of their neighbor's house and assumes they are "horsing around" until they break a window and begin to burglarize the home. After seeing this the person calls the police. This would be an example of which of the following?
Possible Answers:
Conflict delay
None of these
Traffic delay
Coping delay
Ambiguity delay
Correct answer:
Ambiguity delay
Explanation:
This scenario is considered to be an "ambiguity delay." It is considered to be an ambiguity error because the person was delayed in their ability to acknowledge a criminal act. They thought that the two young men were "horsing around" later they saw them break into the house; thus, they were delayed by the ambiguous nature of the behavior of the young men.
