Anti-Social Behaviour Order

From a long time social scientists have been working to unveil the factors which can provoke someone to indulge in a crime. A lot of factors have been described by researchers which can entice any individual to commit a crime. These factors explain why a person perform a criminal act, but don’t explain why the level of brutality/violence differ in various violent or non-violent crime. We have very little knowledge regarding the behaviour of a criminal which led to the brutality in a crime. We…

considered to be not deindividuated until the individual engages in an undesirable or anti-social behaviour and his or her attraction to the group, inducing an increase of deindividuation (Singer, Brush & Lublin, 1965). Singer et al. (1965) suggested that conformity is another outcome of people being in a group, an individual is inclined to be more conformity than deindividuation in a group. Conformity is proposed to be a social inhibition of an individual to conform the majority view due to the…

is best known for The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces a textbook study of behaviour in public space. Set mainly in 1970s Midtown Manhattan, the book and associated documentary concentrated on how people interacted with the physical design of modernist public space. His focus was on “exchange, the most vital measure of the city’s intensity”.

as a way to empower individuals. Similarly social workers in Canada are most often the voice for change and advocate for transforming social situations (Mullaly, 2010). Likewise, although conventional theories informed my practice, some notions of progressive theories were implemented without noticing. As an illustration of this dichotomy, I draw upon my practice experience in which a policy change was needed to improve peoples´ wellbeing. Anti-oppressive practice in Canada indicates…

observant of their surroundings. A paper recently published in Behaviour by Jeanne Clermont and her colleagues analyzes how eastern chipmunks adjust their vigilance levels according to the physical and social effects of their environment. To increase survival rates, chipmunks have to balance resource acquisition and predator avoidance; therefore, modulating the level of risk with environmental factors should influence the expression of anti-predator behaviors. Based upon this idea, the…

The programme intended to reduce the high costs these families place on the public sector each year and in particular to improve children’s school attendance, reduce crime and anti-social behaviour as well as helping adults to get back to work (DfCaLG 2012) .

with different views and position. I will start with the John Hopkins article. This article is great and the steps in which he presented to solve the classroom behavioural problem. However, it should be noted that resisting temptation and managing behaviour is not as easy as we think. The most difficult being to manage and understand are the human beings and the major category that is very tough to manage are the children (students). It requires high level of patient and skilful work on one`s…

Methodological individualism Apart from concerns with coercion and arbitrariness and made orders and spontaneous orders, Hayek derived his arguments against government action from his stance on human rationality and the nature of knowledge. His position was that of anti-rationalist individualism, which formed the assumptions on which he rested his arguments. It is clear from the previous exposition that the conscious coordination of the large numbers of individual actions that make up a…

The case study of Edmund Kemper is one of the major examples that provide insight to criminal behaviour and certain types of crimes. For instance, the Edmund Kemper case is distinctive in various ways because it involves unique motives such as ensuring control and ownership over women in order to increase his self-esteem, which caused him to inflict severe injuries and crimes towards certain females (Whyte, n.d., para. 2). Moreover, understanding the case study of Edmund Kemper is also…
