Wellford addressed the nine assumptions developed by Schrag (1971) that distinguish labeling theory from other theoretical theory in hope to eliminate the validity of this theory for the criminology. The nine assumptions are: 1) no act is initial criminal, 2) the definition of criminal depended on powerful side, 4) people…

Kidnapping is simple; pick a target, abduct them, threatened their family for ransom, and then trade the target for the ransom. However, kidnapping the wrong person can be a big mistake. In the short story, “The Ransom of Red Chief”, by O. Henry, Sam and Bill, two small time criminals, kidnap a ten-year-old named Johnny Dorset. They intend to ransom him off, but Sam and Bill are unaware of the ten-year-old’s rowdy behavior. Johnny’s tortuous games compel Sam and Bill to create a plan to return…

enforcement are unionized. Like ordinary unions, police unions involve coordinated attempts to seek policies and practices that uphold police officers’ best interests. However, Veatch (2008) also posit that collective bargaining is used to influence policymaking in police work, such as when group leaders meet to discuss the implications of new technology like body cameras.

This allows him to get the most out of his presentations and conversations with officers…

General Information “The monster and the police. Dexter to Hobbes” by Mark Neocleous, published in Issue 185 of radical philosophy.

Eradicating crime in it’s entirely is nearly impossible. With that being said, there is potential to decrease crime and victimization within the communities. Ways to reduce the crime and victimization would include better policing and other prevention strategies. In my personal opinion, I believe that the get-tough on crime policy is the best policy to decrease crime, which in return will decrease victimization. For example this kind of policy against crime would be the three strikes law. With…
