The punishment would be in the vein of the Singapore method, i.e. wonks on a violator's hindquarters with a brine-soaked rattan cane. One could assume this disciplinary perspective would be maximally effective as Singapore boosts one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
Tier 3: Pre-emptive Force
One of the core tenets of the Bush doctrine is "anticipatory self-defense" or pre-emptive force. The idea is that in order to prevent a terrorist attack it is necessary to strike at the enemy before he/she/it can organize, coordinate, and/or execute an attack on the U.S. (Beres, 2005).
In order to prevent future accidents, it's necessary to adopt the disciplinary perspective of pre-emption. In short, we need to be proactive. We need to go after future violators. Now, unfortunately we don't have oracles vis a vis Minority Report, but what we can do is train an elite force of community watchdogs who will monitor bike paths and areas heavily trafficked by both bicyclists to look for non-compliance or non-optimal behavior. Punishment for non-optimal behavior will be meted out accordingly (rattan cane, non-soaked).
Discussion
I strongly believe that these three disciplinary perspectives could be integrated to produce a society not unlike the one Winston Smith lived in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. And that's really the point of this satirical examination of disciplinary perspectives, to show how...
However, many would suggest that the costs of implementing these particular disciplinary perspectives would be too high.
That said, and this is where perhaps the irony kicks in, the U.S. employs many of the aforementioned disciplinary perspectives to lead the free world. For example, to take one of the less obvious examples, one might say that corporeal punishment is illegal in the U.S., but it isn't. In fact, all 50 states permit corporeal punishment at one's home. And in roughly 20 States, it's still legal for schools to administer forms of corporeal punishment.
The key then, and to circle back to the bicycle problems, is to decide how much freedom the community is willing to give up to ensure optimal safety. And the answer to this question varies from country to country, state to state, town to town, and house to house.

Sociology of Crime Sociologists claim that crime is a social construction The term "crime" refers to various forms of misconduct that are forbidden by the law (Eglin & Hester, 2013). There are different justifications as to shy sociologists classify crimes as a social construction. All social problems are the product of social construction; defining, naming and labeling them into place through which people can make sense of them. It is evident
Strategic Perspectives in Management Accounting and Finance The main reason for differentiation in the accounting studies seemed to occur due to the functionalist perceptions in the expertise of social studies. According to Dellaportas and Davenport (2008) professions are being separated by occupation on the basis of the level of distinctiveness one occupation has from another; a model first designed by Greenwood in 1975. Abercrombie et al. (1994, p. 335) in their study
Makoul et al. (2007) also briefly summarize the methods used for the research. 3. The first subheading of the Methods section is "National Survey." This subsection explains that the researchers culled their information from a larger study about professionalism in medicine. This and the overall research on professionalism was conducted by Northwestern University and offered to almost 1500 respondents in the 48 contiguous states. The next subsection of Methods is
Connecting Theory and Meaning of Disability Studies in Schools The connecting theory application in the system of basic education has contributed to the development and establishment of a trans-disciplinary scientific strategized framework. This framework bases on the specified reverence for a considerable orientation in long-term and the engagement of decision makers in the education system on its application. The connecting theory involves work that cuts across education disciplines. This is with
The net effect of these trends on the environment is mixed. According to Kohler and Erdmann (2004), the expanded use of ICT applications will ultimately result in both benefits to the environment, as well as some new problems associated with their use. The extent to which the negative effects are mitigated will ultimately depend on the foresight that is used today to develop long-term energy and waste management policies
Proponents of stem-cell research believe that it may be the secret to curing infertility, genetic imperfection and neurological degeneration, and on the premise of this supposition, have lobbied vigorously to prevent legislation that would protect embryos from harvest and use in research, espousing the idea that: "Criminalizing human reproductive cloning in the United States will only make it less safe and more costly for these infertile couples. They will be
