3.3 Age and Crime One of the few universally accepted facts in criminology is the fact that crime has a strong relationship with age, which is characterised by a typical pattern: the ‘age-crime curve’ (McAra & McVie, 2012). For both men and women (Ulmer & Steffensmeier, 2014), the crime rate increases from the minimum age of responsibility – which is ten in the UK – to a peak in the late teenage years; before declining in adulthood, first quickly and then more slowly; finally trailing off into…

The Plea Frontline’s feature The Plea focuses on the incredibly popular and sometimes overlooked aspect of court, the plea bargain. Author Douglas Guidorizzi quotes Black’s Law Dictionary when providing the best definition of a plea bargain but a summary of that definition will suffice. The plea bargain, in short, is an agreement made between the defense and the prosecutor in a criminal case (if approved by the court) where the defendant usually pleads guilty to a lesser offense or to only some…

In A World of Gangs: Armed Young Men, written by John Hagedorn, the audience sees the connection Hagedorn’s makes between politics, socioeconomic status, racism, and it’s unwavering resistance to change. Street gangs are complex and cannot be reduced to simplistic pathologies, especially with the lack of research and unexplored history by scholars. The book focuses on the more social-cultural psychological concepts, stating straight off the bat that street gangs are not apart of “a subset of…

that sentencing someone to death for a crime is immoral. However, this agreement will usually end with the question of if these criminals are deserving of death and if we as a scoiety have the power to condemn them to death. Many believe that if the crime is deserving, we should have the right to end a life, but there are others who believe that no crime is worth a human life. Although some think that the death penalty deters people from committing major crimes and maintain that it has never…

Prison is a place no one willingly wishes to be in. Although many people do enter into this world, few actually tell their tale to the public. Stephen Reid is a criminal; a stone cold gang member and bank robbing criminal. He is also a father, devoted husband, friend and a writer. For those of us who have never been on the inside, Reid tells a story in his book A Crowbar in the Buddhist Garden of how he was sentenced to many years in a maximum security prison and what life in prison is actually…

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…

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.
