    Over the years, criminologists have endeavoured to explain the causes and suggest solutions for youth criminal behaviour, through the use of criminological models. Pre-modern explanations were rejected by new theories because these theories fundamentally believed in rationality and humanitarianism. The purpose of pre-modern explanations was to identify, a connection between the individual and society; the reasons for disorder and an implementation of sanctions of those individuals who breached the existing norms of behaviour. Most pre-modern explanations relied upon spiritualism and naturalism. The modern models were criminological theories which were developed during the period of industrial modernity to explain offending behaviour.…

    Over the course of five years, the Jodi Arias capital murder case and trial captivated a country. The salacious nature of the case, the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, simultaneously mesmerized and repulsed the public, and attracted intense media coverage.

The level of violence in the commission of the crime was mercilessly cruel and excessive.…

    Ida B. Wells-Barnett chronicles the gruesome attack on the civil rights of a people who have suffered far too much at the hands of a corrupt system in her work Mob Rule in New Orleans. In these retelling of the events that occurred on July 24th, 1900, it is evident that justice, in the hands of a racist and oppressive force, can never truly be justice. The most appalling realization that any reader of this work may come to is that one-hundred and eighteen years later, in our current American climate, the crimes committed against black Americans and other people of color still occur, and even more horrifying is the politicized, often racist media response and coverage that follows these events. As I moved through this text, I was continually disturbed by the experiences that three malicious bluecoats caused for countless African American members of their community, and how at the end of the day the perpetrators of murder and crime got off scot-free. Through this analysis, it is my goal to connect the past with the present to understand the racism that still affects our systems of government and police forces.…

    Crime is a revolving door that continues to be open by those who feel the need to take matters into their own hands. Everyone in society has either witness, experience, or read some sort of crime throughout their lives. According to Donald Black, people who believe their rights would not be justified within our criminal justice system, are more likely to take charge in their own matters. Therefore, incidents where people become victims of a crime, would sometimes lead to breaking the law in order to get vengeance. Black refers this theory as “The Theory of Self-Help.”…
