This study was made on juveniles and kids. The study was trying to see whether kids or young adults should be charged as adults when commiting serious crimes. Many may oppose with agreeing for it and others would agree. There is not really a result because this is more of an opinion, but in my opinion they should be charged if committing a serious crime. In this article, it had information about how many young kids and young adults are being sent to jail or prison. This article connects to the…

Killing people for their crimes is wrong, but killing the wrong person is an even more heinous crime. Prosecutors, judges, and jurors can all be subject to bias and different forms of prejudice, no matter how thoroughly vetted they are. In this case, the ramification of their human errors serves no balance of justice. People make mistakes, and lives should not be at stake for their blunders. Ten percent of people who have committed capital crimes have been exonerated due to technological…

In the world of research the amount of topics to be studied are endless. Likewise, in the criminal justice community there are also an endless amount of topics for study. In this paper the process of gathering data will be discussed by constructing an analysis of the nature of police work. To be specific the dangers of the job of policing will be retrieved, through the development of a questionnaire that would be completed by police officers in two local departments. It is common wisdom both…

different forms of ways to collect data about crimes. For instance, Self-report measures collect their data by asking an individual about themselves and about what form of illegal behavior they have committed by written questionnaires and in-person interviews. For example, Monitoring the Future (MTF) self-report survey collected samples from 8th, 10th and 12th graders and measured their substance and alcohol use. As for official police data, the uniformed crime reports (UCR) took the data that…

One question of which the biological explanation asks is could we identify genetic markers in those with a predisposition to crime? Lombroso’s atavism theory is one of the earliest theories of inherited criminality and links outward physiological features to inherited criminal behaviour arguing it is easy to spot criminals as they are not fully evolved and criminality is innate rather than made. He stated that criminals had distinct facial features for example a large protruding jaw, large ears,…

world map lets it also have a real crazy weather. The weather can be real cold or real hot. With all its beauty Guatemala has some issues that I feel the USA does not have as much. Guatemala and USA differ so much in the aspects of how we live, the crime rate,…

violence and crime. The most influence for children is their environments both good things and bad things, which is more serious than we think or imagine. Children always observe their parents’ actions and people around them. If their parents are violent people, they will learn how to hurt others from their parents. Another way how to learn commit crime is mass media. Children like to watch TV, animations and movies (“Teaching Children”). These things often include violence and committing…

For this week’s unit paper we are to summarize and provide an example of how biological, sociological, and psychological theories of crime causation affect human behavior and actions. Biological theories believe that somewhere there is a biological difference that make criminals commit crimes. There are two different theories that I feel could relate to this and those two would be neuroscience and genetics. Many people do not understand that the brain is very complex and fragile organ…

prosecutors are now specifically searching out lyrics from rap songs to match them with crimes and use them as motives. The courts are allowing admission of rap lyrics as evidence and by doing so, allowing juries to judge a person’s moral character by his art. If it becomes the norm to convict a suspect of a crime based on…

need pay to feed their families. “The American prison system is massive. So massive that its estimated turnover of $74 billion eclipses the GDP of 133 nations” (Jones). We see day to day, many people going to prisons for much minor crime activates. Like if the crime is for positions of pot/marijuana, in these case the persons should not be going to prison for such as awful long time. They should be more solutions to these case and far less sentences. If the offender has no pervious wrongdoing…
