Drug addiction is a community problem caused by the nonstop necessity of taking regular doses of substances in order to feel good or avoid feeling bad. These substances are drugs as their consumption effects have serious consequences on the nervous system which modify the psychic system (https://www.hindawi.com/journals/bmri/2017/7120815/). Many people do not see addiction as an illness at all, but as some moral failing. However, the community has no obligation to provide such care to…

application towards crime and the understanding of it, social control theory concerns itself with examining why don’t the vast majority of the population (law-abiding citizens) engage in criminal and delinquent behaviour? Social control theories focus on critically examining and understanding conformity and an individual’s stake in it rather than one’s deviation (Linden, 2016).

Criminal Law Foundations Evaluation The Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments are a vital part of the adult and juvenile justice system. These Amendments prohibit law enforcement or the government from caring on irrational searches and seizures, hinder law enforcement from forcing an individual to self-incriminate themselves in a case and guarantees an adult the right to a prompt trial by an unbiased jury. In contrast, juveniles are given some of the safeguards that entail the Fourth, Fifth and…

As the crime rate continues to rise daily, it is becoming well-known that a good portion of these major offenses are not being committed solely by adults. In a court of law, a person who is 18 is tried as a minor, with the exception of a few states considering 16 and 17 year olds to be adults in their courts. Some children do not hesitate to commit serious crimes for the simple reason that if they get caught, they know the penalty for their crime will not be too harsh since they are still…

The insanity plea is a defense in the court of law put in place for people who suffer from mental illness and commit crimes. Under this defense, the mentally ill are not entirely held responsible for their actions given the terms that they were not in the correct state of mind when the crime took place. The person would admit to committing the crime, but then say they are not guilty by reason of insanity (Francone). This plea has been used in my cases throughout history. The presence of this…

Historically, children over 14 were presumptively culpable for their crimes. In the late 19th century, juvenile justice reformers advocated for the creation of a separate judicial system that emphasized rehabilitation rather than punishment, and judicial discretion rather than procedural formality. This movement was driven by concerns that juvenile offenders were different than adult offenders, and might benefit from alternative forms of judicial processing (Tanenhaus 2004, 2002). The juvenile…

shift in power, and legislation created that affects communities and the country (Karmen, 2015). If the victim’s story can be conveyed properly, it can have a significant impact on the very culture, morals, and values associated with the type of crime and victim (Karmen, 2015). Just recently, this can be seen in Hollywood with a record amount of complaints of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment being let out the floodgates from famous and powerful…
