co-offending is not taken into account, and second, co-offending sets the stage for continued crime and delinquency for offenders (Zimring, 1981; Felson, 2003). Those involved in co-offending continue to commit more offenses and are more likely to commit more serious offenses then their solo-offending counterparts (Carrington, 2002; Sarnecki, 2001; Zimring 1981). The bulk of current co-offending research focuses on property crimes and juveniles. There is very little that focuses on violent…

which help understand the drivers of reform, and those working against it. Problem solving theory creates a fixed order, ‘as it aims to solve problems arising in various parts of a complex whole in order to smooth the functioning of the whole’ (Cox, 1981: 130). This problem solving theory is at its core; value-free as it treats the variables as objects they are singular, in the case of the ABSM, it is representative of agents’ own represented…

SILVER LINING The first year of living after the Vietnam War ended in 1975 was the most difficult for me. When I heard my president Minh Duong, in South of Vietnam, commanded us to give up and hand the weapons to the North Vietnamese Communist Party, it felt like an atomic bomb exploded inside my head. My entire life, my body, and my heart fell down as I came to a free fall. For weeks I gradually got used to a new reality that my government lost the war. When terrible things happened to me after…

Ronald Reagan served as President from 1981-1989. He left office with the highest approval rating since President Theodore Roosevelt. From an early age he was destined to enter politics, he was the President of his student body for both high school and college, and regularly solved issues diplomatically. His parents instilled in him political values-although democratic-so he maintained an interest in politics even before he entered the field himself. He first entered the film industry and…

(Putnam, 1981:6). This means that different brains can engage in collective activities for example they can have conversations and play football together (ibid). Putnam raises this analogy to deal with sceptics about the…

When a colleague asks how we are first thing in the morning, our answer is frequently a lie; regardless of how we feel that day and what is going on our lives, we automatically present a picture of wellness and happiness. This is just the first of many lies we will tell throughout our day, assuming we have not already lied to those we may have encountered in our household. Indeed, lies permeate our lives, and the average person [insert statistics here]. Why do we do this? What is the point of…

are all different in many ways. By the style of art they worked with, their background information, also, their own perspective of what art means to them. I was able to get inspired by Lost and In Love on a Train to the Coast, 1981, Floating Dream Sequence: Phoenix Fish, 1981, and, Reflections of a City, 1976. They spoke to me as I was doing my art gallery visit, and I have elaborated on these specific pieces. Comparable to my experience,…

Though his killings occurred over thirty years ago Clifford Olson is still known as one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers. Active through the years 1980-1981 he was responsible for eleven gruesome murders in that short time span. The shocking nature of his crimes ensured nobody would forget his notorious deeds. To build on that, Olson is loathed because he extorted authorities into paying $100,000 for the locations of his victims’ remains, an agreement that haunted the survivors of…

This is along with the corrections as well as the courts that are established in the United States (Johnson, 1981, January). Despite the fact that the three components often work different and independently, they also forma kind of collective chain that starts with the investigations into criminal matters, and finally to the process of punishment or justice administration…

natural group, and the standard group (Heffernan & Richards, 1981). The standard group used problem solving methods and received study skill information. The natural group also received information on different study skills. They taught the natural group to use planned schedules and isolation. This meant isolating themselves from distractions and setting a certain time for school work throughout the week (Heffernan & Richards, 1981). Each group was given 3 exams; pre and post treatment and…
