writing for criminal justice

Overview

please respond to Jose with 150. words

The first part of speech that I struggle with is adverbs, and what that is it modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverbs are often used as a crutch to compensate for weak/general verbs, which makes the writing less powerful and dynamic. A key challenge with using adverbs in reports is that they can weaken the writing by signaling a reliance on less precise verbs. Overused/redundant adverbs clutter text and reduce its impact, while improper placement can obscure the intended meaning. For example in the book it states "He left home at 0800 hours" and that is explaining that the adverb is telling when it happened. Finally, when using adverbs you need to prove that you are using the clear, and correct adverbs to avoid your report from being cluttered, and precise.

The second part of speech that I struggle with is preposition, and what that is it's used with an object to show relationship to some other word in a sentence. Writing reports often presents challenges with prepositions due to their multiple meanings, dependence on context, and susceptibility to unnecessary repetition. Unlike other parts of speech, prepositions have few concrete rules, making correct usage difficult for both native and non-native English speakers. Errors with prepositions can introduce ambiguity, undermining the clarity required for formal reports. For example in the book is says "After the game they had a snack" it explains that the prepositional phrase because game is the object of after. Finally, this expresses that if you don't put the correct prepositional phrase and it doesn't define with what you are trying to say in your report, then it will make your report not clear to understand if you are trying to catch your readers attention.
