some can influence or inspire them to commit crimes based on the games they are binging. Do they learn their lesson? Well this leads psychologists to create studies where they gather people from different age groups and have them play similar games for hours while they study their brain patterns and their psychological triggers. There is no sure way of knowing whether or not someone learns their lesson from a crime or feels a thrill from committing a crime without doing further testing on each…
Moffitt’s developmental taxonomy is extremely parsimonious, you either fall into one category or the other and the categories are rather self explanatory. The scope of this theory is very wide and can be used to explain all types of crime. It has a very high level of logical consistency, the categories of criminal behavior make sense as does the idea that a disadvantaged environment paired with neurological deficits would make a person more likely to become a life-course-persistent…
the question of when legal or guardian representation for the child should be present is a differing matter amongst almost every state in the union. There are times when such interrogations can lead to the juvenile giving a false confession to a crime that they have no detailed knowledge about because the child will feel that it is the expectation of them. Sometimes even just being in the presence of law enforcement officers is enough intimidation for the juvenile to give a false confession so…

Mass incarceration is caused through tough on crime which is put to the extreme when looking at the United States, who’s incarceration rate is 6,851,000 inmates (Bureau of Justice Statistics). Mass incarceration does nothing to deter crime but does lead to overcrowding in jails. As pointed out by Eleanor Goldberg in her (2015) Huffington Post article, “overcrowding means less access to…
This shows how policemen are not always there when they are needed. There is no doubt about how police officers are always there for citizens and risk their lives for them, but from the time that it takes the police officer to get to the crime area from where he or she was, it will be too late, and most likely someone will already be hurt. In the same manner, the same article adds, “When a longtime employee, a National Rifle Association-certified instructor who's been the company's unofficial…

Especially if that crime was murder. In the article “ On Punishment and Teen Killers” by Jennifer Jenkins, she explains her reasoning for believing that juveniles convicted of murder deserve to receive a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. In the first paragraph of the article she exclaims that “ some people will shun crime even if we do nothing to deter them, while others will seek it out even if we do everything…
storys can tell the journeys toward shaping the characters identities. The two stories that do a great job at this are “Thank you M’am by Hughes, and Sonny's Blues by Baldwin.

One day he is caught and has to deal with the consequences, which then set him on the right path. “Sonny’s Blues” is about a recovering heroin addict and his journey back into society.
