    Social inequality refers to unequal opportunities and access within society. Marx and Engels argued that capitalism creates two classes - the working class and owners - who have competing interests, leading to unfair profit distribution. To address high economic inequality, the justice system must intensify criminal punishment, as rising poverty and inequality can raise crime rates and imprisonment. The Occupy Wall Street movement protested economic injustice, financial crises, and corporate money's political influence by occupying banks, buildings, and campuses, though some protests were disrupted by police. Large protests can disrupt services and carry potential violence challenging law enforcement.

    Social inequality refers to giving unequal opportunities and access for different social
    positions within the society. Marx and Friedrich Engels explained how capitalism creates two
    classes of people in the society: the working class and the owners of the means of production.
    They argued that this inequality is results from struggle or conflict between these two classes
    due to competing interests, and the unfair distribution of profit by property rights.

    In dealing high levels of economic inequality, the justice system must intensify criminal
    justice punishment. In some accounts, the rising poverty that accompanies growing inequality
    raises crime rates and, ultimately, the scale of imprisonment.

    The Occupy Wall Street is a movement of peaceful protests taking place in cities across
    United States. The focus of this movement is to address the issues of economic injustice,
    financial crisis, and the role of corporate money in the political system. Protesters turned their
    focus to occupying banks, corporate headquarters, board meetings, foreclosed homes, and
    college and university campuses. Although protests have been mostly peaceful, some were
    arrested by the police due to disorderly conduct and blocking the traffic.

    Gatherings involving public protest movements can have disruptive effects on


    transportation, commercial, and government services, especially when staged in major city
    areas. Large protests, even considered peaceful, also carry the potential for violence that can
    trigger a challenge for law enforcement.
