Three connections between the letters sent to the Chicago Times and the ideas of the social disorganization theory would be the Social Ecological, Sampson and Groves’s, and the Collective Efficacy model. One letter said, “There needs to be adults to take preventative measures in places of that have high delinquency and crime” (Bates & Swan, 126). According to the Collective Efficacy theory, social cohesion among neighbors combined with their willingness to intervene on the behalf of the common…

There have certainly been cases where nature does not seem to play a role. There was a case, named David Berkowitz. He was a polite individual, and by appearances, his environment had appeared to be “normal”. It has been said that there are no warning signs of any serial killer tendencies found within Berkowitz and that his parents were great parents. However, people in his neighborhood had noticed that Berkowitz would eventually garner into a person who would release streaks of violence. Many…

infancy. In this defense, you, as the criminal, are too young to be at fault for the crime. The charges will be excuses due to the age of the child. However, if the child is over the age of 8, and the crime is serious enough, they will be sent to a juvenile detention center. The child brain at this age is unable to cope with what is right or wrong, making the child be excused from charges. Many people have mental illnesses that are not shown until they act out criminally. Insanity is a common…

Currently the legal consumption of alcohol is the age 21 in the United States. The United States has one of the highest drinking ages in the world. For example, most European countries the legal limit are either 16 or 18 to first drink alcohol. There have been a lot of on going arguments, such as; that the brain is not fully developed until around the age of 21 and that is why we have our limit set that high. Changing the legal drinking age from 21 to 18 would have been effects to this country,…

The Ted Talk described how in the state of New York, is one of the two states that trial adolescents as adults and these jails have maltreatment upon the adolescents, who are sentenced for their crimes. For example, Ismael talked about his experience as an inmate at a jail in New York. When he was there, a male correctional officer named Monroe, called him over to talk briefly about the physical attribution that was caused by Ismael and his roommate. Instead of the correctional officer mentoring…

Juvenile Delinquents Fifteen year old Kahton Anderson was found guilty of second-degree murder before a jury in an adult court for the murder of a 39-year-old bus passenger named Angel Rojas. Anderson was already a juvenile delinquent, having been arrested in 2011 for causing fights in his schools, which caused him to move schools quite a bit, and it is because of these fights, mixed in with the gang activity around his town, that on March 20, 2014 Kahton Anderson (fourteen at the time) shot…

Why should the drinking age be lowered ? When people turn 18 most people will go off to college . When they are in college they are no longer being supervised by anyone . Many students in their first year of college begin to binge drink . College students binge drink before going out at night because they can’t legally get alcohol until they are 21, and lowering the drinking age may decrease the regularity on college campuses. Researchers who looked at states where the drinking age was…

Many juvenile court systems face various challenges that dog young individuals. The juvenile court system in Hinesville has also not been left behind, as there are mistreatments of youth in their quest for social justice. In many cases, the young people are subjected to harsh treatments similar to those issued in adult criminal systems. This overly punitive approach of the young is, in fact, a violation of their basic rights since many judges rely on their intuition in making judgments. The…

When crimes are committed, people perceive each crime differently and tend to add their opinion on how the criminal(s) should be treated. One crime, for example, had Tyrone Hood charged with the killing and robbing of a college student. The positivist theory helps understand why Tyrone Hood committed this crime and should go to trial, but be rehabilitated instead of being incarcerated based on the crime. The positivist theory is known as the, “...scientific method to the study of the…

WRI 1200 Research Plan My research question is whether corporal punishment early in life leads to incarceration later in life. The reason I picked this topic is the desire to learn the truth about it. Growing up in the South, the phrase “Spare the rod, spoil the child” was a very common term. We knew if we behaved badly we were going to get a whooping. But as I got older and saw friends of mine, one by one, become incarcerated, It made me wonder did our upbringing lead to these incarcerations?…
