The second concern of the article is to explore whether the source of such demeanor whether parent or the child is determinant of whether a juvenile is so admitted. The article ...

Article analysis

Japan-the dominant power in Asia had developed hatred for nations that had colonies in the Asian mainland and pacific and these include the United States, Portugal and France. For this reason, Japan wanted to substitute these colonies with its own and form the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.” To achieve this, Japan was prepared to go to any extent including war citing the war in china in 1937. The author’s point is that the United States resolution to resolve the outstanding difference that existed between them and Japan in 1941 bore no fruits. Instead, Japan continued to occupy ...

Victims and the Media/ Harold and Kumar/ Article Review

In today’s media crazed world, it can sometimes be difficult to identify the victim in a crisis. Through images on television, the internet, and even or cell phones, we are exposed to too many ideas that appeal to our inner ideals of who the victim may be. The greatest example, of course, is the September 11 attacks. The media scrutinized Muslims, Indians, and anybody else who fit the ideation of the terrorists who launched planes into the WTC towers. That was until the American public and many around the world were sure that the entire Middle Eastern population at ...

Arguably one of the most important documents in the entirety of the criminal justice system, the Presentencing Investigation Report (PSI) remains a vital source of information that guides judges who have to pass sentences. It has been in use since the 1920s. As a legal term, PSI report is a purposeful investigation into the history of a convict before a sentence is passed to establish if there are grounds that could extenuate, so that the judge has the discretion to vary the sentence.

The evolution of the PSI has led to the development of at least three approaches. These shall inform the ensuing discussion. ...

Introduction

In this article, the author explores the possible disadvantages to juveniles of waivers into the adult criminal court system, no constitutional right to a jury trial in juvenile court and diversion programs. In introducing the article, Ainsworth (1996) observes that the juvenile court system was based on the premise of two basic perceptions of young people who were in violation of the law: first, young people were both morally and cognitively underdeveloped and thus ...

The article’s topic talks about ways in which multiple traits undergo adaptive evolution using multiple mutations at a single gene. This is an important topic because different scientists have been coming up with varying theories regarding adaptive evolution. For example, Darwin claimed that adaptation only happens in the presence of slight successive variations. In supporting Darwin’s idea, Fisher, a scientist asserted that mutations tend to be pleiotropic in nature thus causing varying effects in relating population. Therefore, the topic is essential in assessing the effect of mutations as well as their pleiotropic effect (Linnen, Poh, Peterson, Barrett, Larson, Jensen & ...

The article that will be reviewed is “Transfer of juveniles to adult court: Effects of a broad policy in one court”. The aim of the study is to determine the effects and implications of transferring juvenile offenders to the adult court.
One of the key points presented in the study are the possible detrimental effects of the transfer. The possibility of a longer sentence for the adolescent offender exists when he is transferred to an adult court, which is quite unlikely if he had been tried in a juvenile court. Another detrimental effect is victimization. When adolescents are place in adult ...

The government agencies had incentives to act as they did including the benefit of receiving massive credit for being the only organization that helped the post-Katrina victims. The government would also receive the benefit of a great opportunity to publicize to the citizens the good deeds they were doing to the post-Katrina victims. Another incentive is that the government was not ready to incur the cost of having other people in charge example the Red Cross and church organizations. They hold responsibility for maintaining order, they can arrest or even kill someone in circumstances surrounding the rescue, but a representative of ...

Article Review: Trying Children as Adults

This 2002 paper by Allen discussed the increasing recent trend by many U.S. states to amend laws so that juvenile offenders can more easily be transferred to adult courts. Allen saw the trend as regrettable, focusing more on punishment and less on rehabilitation, following recent Federal legislation reducing state-level independence in the juvenile justice processes.
In his Introduction, Allen commented that whilst America allegedly holds its children in high regard, it nonetheless increasingly heads towards trying juveniles in adult courts for more and more crimes. He stated the country has gone “full circle”, starting from a justice system with ...

The victims of the shooting incident who were successfully identified included Jon Blunk, Sgt. Jesse Childress of the Air Force ...

More often than not, hate crimes often lead to much suffering for the victims and their families. This was the case after the Tulsa killings as described by Fernandez. The victims’ families felt that the acts were not justified and that the perpetrators needed to face judgment (Fernandez 3). In their moment of grief, they felt that the culprits had targeted helpless, innocent people who might not have been famous, but who were valuable to their families. The killers did not know their victims, and if only they knew who they were, they probably would not have committed the ...

In California, Justice for Juveniles

The California Youth Authority (CYA) was a state prison system for youth offenders; it was founded in 1941 to keep juvenile delinquents out of adult prison and provide them with a support system for rehabilitation. It was the belief of lawmakers and social workers at thetime that a better-educated and trained youth would have a greater chance of becoming integrated back into society.
Unfortunately, 50 years later, the system appeared to have broken down, and so damaging to the youth it was supposed to be rehabilitating that the California Youth Authority was eliminated and many of its facilities were forced to shut ...

Introduction

Cognitive Behavioral Interventions are approaches that use soft instruments to correct or enhance behavioral characteristics of individuals, either to comply with society expectations or to unlearn a particular behavior. A person with a drugs problem may be trained to handle the urges of taking drugs and avoidance of risky situations, with an aim of solving the problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy, commonly referred to as CBT, teaches the subjects a new set of skills designed to increase awareness of thoughts and emotions of an individual. The idea is to re-empower the individual to understand how certain exposures to situations, people ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) was associated with various behaviors, including violence, impaired emotional regulation, and aggression, which are associated with criminal behavior. It is estimated that TBI affects 8.5 percent of the population, but the highest prevalence of TBI, which can be up to 60 percent, is recorded among prisoners (Williams, 2012). Because TBI is associated with elevating risk factors for offending behaviors, and because it mainly occurs during early stages of life, it is important to investigate clinical implications of treating TBI to reduce criminal behaviors that may be associated with previous brain injuries.

A. Brief Overview of “Is Hooking Up bad for Young Women?”

Several authors look at the sex culture in today’s youths in comparison to the baby boomers. Jessica Valenti(2010) for instance argues that the problem with America today is not the casual sex as it is not new but the moral panic that exists. The mass media has driven sociologists and psychologists to investigate young hookups even more closely. Statistics by CDC and the NHSLS show that young adults today are having far less sex than the baby boomers. Hookups are not free for all as portrayed by the media but is rather a safe manoeuvre by young adults ...

Analysis of "Lesser Evil" and "Lesser Evil is not Good Enough"

The Michael Ignatieff’s perception of democracy in the article “Lesser Evils “seems to be sophisticated and contradictory. “The Lesser Evil is Not Good Enough” a book review by Rabkin Jeremy on the other hand is confusing on the appropriate way to handle terrorists. The articles contradict the ideas and demonstrate a rational argument for doing the same. Terrorism in itself is wrong yet he advocates for a fair hearing and dialogue with terrorists. A summary and comprehensive analysis of the two articles will determine which of the two articles is weighty.

In an intuitive investigation, Christiane Wilke seeks to reevaluate the significance of memorials in a multifaceted manner. His pursuit is hinged on getting the answers to three questions which revolve around the impact that memorials should have on us; with the ultimate goal of initiating a conversation around transitional justice and the need to incorporate theories of complex identities while ascribing specific relevance to memorials. His research is aimed at providing relevant evidence about the need to be cautious when setting up memorials because more often, their defined purpose ignores the existence of overlapping and congruent scenarios leading to their installation. ...

Based on recent studies there is a correlation between child maltreatment and culture and ethnicity. Research indicates that child sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect are the most common forms of child maltreatment. However, childhood sexual abuse is the most common form of abuse among the Latinos with rates of almost 8%, which is higher than the childhood sexual abuse among the African Americans and the Asians. Additionally, childhood sexual abuse between the Chinese is lower than for the U.S children. This is because of the conservative Chinese cultural norms that discourage sexual activity at an early age.
