16. Several years ago, the California Supreme Court struck down part of Jessica's Law, the law that prohibits a convicted sex offender from living within 2,000 feet of a park or school. The court found no credible evidence that offenders were more likely to commit sexual offenses if they lived near where children gather. Now there are efforts underway in the state to also get rid of some provisions of Proposition 47, a law that reduces felonies to misdemeanors. The LA Times says if the state wants to remove some provisions, it should look to what was done with Jessica's law and take action based on that. In advocating this approach, the Times is using what kind of reasoning? (answer by naming the reasoning or explaining it)
