Argumentative Essay: Domestic Violence In Australia

Improved Essays
Domestic violence is a harrowing and insidious feature of our culture and taking a stand against allowing perpetrators like Chris Brown to enter the country is an important step in demonstrating our refusal to tolerate this kind of violent and oppressive conduct?

The government has blocked past criminals from entering our country in order to keep Australians safe. There is never a time for criminal behaviour to be acceptable, people can’t think that they can commit a crime such as abusing a person and then be allowed live a happy life travelling and going on holidays. The government is keeping Australia safe by blocking criminals’ visa’s.

Why would the government allow past offenders to enter the country and pose a threat to Australians.

Chris Brown was sentenced to a prison term. It is shown that Chris Brown did not show remorse for his attack on Rihanna and he stated during an MTV interview that he was 'confused ' that some people wanted to see him in prison for the attack. Why would anyone want a repeatedly violent person to enter our country, a person who does not feel remorse, nor care about his actions.

Chris Brown is not the only celebrity to be banned from countries. Brad Pitt was banned from China for starring in "7 Years In Tibet.” Lindsay Lohan banned from India for failing to obtain a work visa and lying about assisting in a child labour sweatshop raid. Miley Cyrus was banned from China in 2009 because she was photographed making a "slanty-eyed" gesture with a group of her friends.

These celebrities have been banned from countries due to non violent crimes and people are arguing that Chris Brown should be allowed to enter Australia when he has repeatedly acted violently and assaulted people. People like Chris Brown and other criminals should not be allowed entry into our country. Tyler the Creator has been banned from New Zealand, the UK and there was speculation of him being banned from entering

As a nation we are meant to be free, but then as soon as people arrive here to be in a safe environment they are thrown into detention centres onto remotes islands such as Manus.

The three topics that are being covered include: how Australia doesn’t protect the human rights, what the rights towards refugees and asylum seekers are and how the rights towards refugees and asylum seekers are violated and finally what is currently being done to stop Australia from violating these rights?…

    At the same time, this shows a great example of how Australian prison system sometimes don’t reform ex-convicted and they come out worse than before. According to the social researcher Tony Vinson documents (Inter Church Criminal Justice Taskforce, 2010) it indicates prison often don’t improve the problems of what cause the ex-convict to keep offending and imprisoning prisoner is unlikely to break the cycle of crime. Another key point, is if the criminal stay to long in prisons it bring a negative effect. In other word the punishment of imprisonment may possibly generate a criminal learning environment. From time to time there could be a chance the prisoners develop a social learning theory, whereas the prisoner could develop inspiration and…

    Mick Gooda, Social Justice Commissioner for the Australian Human Rights Commission, has described justice reinvestment as ‘sensible, practical things that can be done on the ground to make communities safer and reduce offending’. What is justice reinvestment, how does it work, and what are some of the ‘sensible, practical things’ proposed?

    In 2011, Aboriginal people were reported as imprisoned at a rate of 756 per 100,000 in contrast to non-aboriginal Canadians at a rate of only 76 per 100,000 (Jeffries, 2014). However, why are Aboriginal People in Canada overrepresented in prison? Could it be sentencing policies or are these citizens more harmful to society? Many factors are involved in this presumption, including high rates of poverty, substance abuse, and a large percentage of judges will decide jail for their sentence even when there are laws against jail being the first option. Even with laws put into place to consider other alternatives, judges have the final say and most of these Aboriginal people are still sent to jail over rehabilitation (Jeffries, 2014).…

    Punishment in contemporary society is concerned with managing crime at an acceptable level rather than correction (Disagree) The Australian criminal justice system today focuses on rehabilitating offenders to reduce recidivism rates. Rehabilitating offenders is not only beneficial, it is a cost-effective means of reducing society’s incarceration expenses and lessens further harm to that society. This essay briefly discusses these programs and demonstrates through studies the effectiveness of offender programs in reducing recidivism rates and how these programs help offenders reintegrate back into society as law-abiding citizens. If Australian society stopped caring about rehabilitation, offender programs would cease and imprisonment certainly becomes a punishment without any redeeming features.…

    The Happiest refugee, by Ahn Do, is a memoir which tells the story of his family, his life before and after fleeing war-torn Vietnam, and his dramatic journey through pirate-infested waters. Did you know that refugees contribute an average of $10 billion to the Australian economy in their first 10 years of settlement? Illegal immigrants don't come to Australia to commit crime; they come here to escape war-torn countries such as Iraq,Syria and historically, Vietnam. Despite this, the majority of white Australians have objections to the resettlement of immigrants. These objections come from stereotypes induced by the media (eg.all Muslims support terrorism), differences in culture and political ideologies/campaigns (eg.…

    Aborigines are particularly disadvantaged in our society. The problems and difficulties that they face when using the legal system are part of the reason for them being overrepresented in the criminal justice system. There are many issues which result in this participation; these include the presence of language barriers between an officer and an aboriginal suspect, cultural taboos aboriginal suspects suffer, their body language which tends to raise suspicion and their lack of understanding of the questioning procedure. These issues will be discussed to examine the topic at hand and suggested reforms will also be given to eliminate these complications to ensure that they receive a fair and unbiased hearing.
