General and specific deterrence
Crimes committed by juveniles raise many concerns because if a child is able to commit a crime at an early age, then it is quite likely for the child to commit even serious crimes in adulthood. Studies have shown that juvenile criminals end up becoming criminals in their later stage in life. This has created the need to deter children and young adults from committing crimes in their adulthood. There are two main methods used to prevent people from committing crimes. They include general or indirect deterrence and specific deterrence. The concept of deterrence is based ...

Analysis of New York Times Articles on Social Deviance
Article 1
Parker-Pope, Tara. “College Students Behaving Badly.” New York Times 31 July 2008. Web. Retrieved 23 Feb. 2013.
Rather than focus exclusively on articles within a very short period of three to four months, it seemed better to examine if the New York Times routinely publishes articles that address social deviance directly, instead of simply mentioning activities that might be construed as socially deviant. Using this approach, a search was made of the newspaper’s website using the term “social deviance;” only a few results appeared that were less ...

Individuals with high social status are the associated with white-collar crimes, and this occurs especially in the context of their jobs. The legislature is reluctant in taking actions against these crimes since they least prosecute and investigate these crimes. The legislature seems to neglect the cases as the public gets less concerned with these types of crime. Due to ignorance in prosecution, the U.S congress formulated laws and statutes in the 1980s. The legislature has a challenge when it comes to dealing with corruption, frauds and corruption on the officials (Dorpat, 2007).
The crimes against persons involve murder, rape, ...

Social disorganization theory

According to the theory, the social environment and physical environments are one of the main causes of the behavioral choice that a person makes. The theory highly emphasizes on the importance of neighborhood or locality for the shaping of their behavior. For example, a person belonging to an area where undesired social factors such as Illiteracy, unemployment, lack of moral education and ignorance are in abundance, the chances that the residents may involve in criminal activities are higher. This gives rise to other undesired aspects, such as, if someone does not want to indulge in criminal activities, but lack of educational ...

Criminal Law

According to Siegel (2008), the development of rational choice theory is intimately related to the Classical School of criminology initiated by its founder Cesare Beccaria. Under the classical theory, the principle of Utilitarianism steps in as man is expected to make a rational choice and shall be held responsible for his actions which may entail a penalty for misdeeds. The rational choice theory is a combination of rational behavior and human capital and the outcome is a criminal activity. One economist named Gary Becker applied his views on this theory and he discovered that offenders are engaged in a predictable behavior before crimes are ...

Thorsten Sellin was an outstanding criminologist famous for his opposition to the death penalty (Jonson, Myer & Adler, 2011). In particular, he stated that the comparison of statistics from those areas where death penalty was implemented and where it wasn’t practiced showed that it wasn’t in fact effective and didn’t deter people from crime commitment (Hayward, 2010).
Another important role that Sellin played in the history of criminology was introduction of the cultural conflict concept, which meant conflict arising between immigrants from one country to another and migrants between different parts of the same country. In ...

From September 9th to 13, 1971 inmates of Attica correctional facility took control of the prison and made several demands including a change on how prison guards should be treating the inmates. The event resulted to 39 deaths in a 15-minute assault after Nelson Rockefeller has ordered the State police to take over the situation (Kaba, 2011, p.5). This uprising is believed to be caused by the stories of abuse, torture and brutality among inmates by the prison guards. The effects of this incident became ...

SWOT Analysis

The SWOT analysis is a tool used in the evaluation of the internal environment, where the organization conducts an analysis of its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The Sony retail company in London has low product diversification, making it vulnerable in the face of the businesses that have a broad range of goods. The threat posed by the competitors is real. Many players in the DVD/CD and video games market have emerged, and the management is concerned that it is becoming extremely hard to retain dominance of the market (Williams and Chinn, 2010, P.426).

IntroductionSafe space or positive space are terms used to show that an educator does not allow harassment of students on the basis of race, sex, cultural background, religion , physical or mental ability and thereby creating a safe environment for lesbians, gay, bisexuals, and transgender. This is a place where everyone feels free to freely express oneself and individuals uphold dignity and respect. On the other hand, organizations with unsafe space are those, which do not embrace diversity but rather discriminate students based on sexual orientation. This report uses the excerpt “Ronan’s Escape” a story of 14-year-old boy in Western Australia to ...

The rational choice theory is one of the theories of criminology, which seeks to explain the causes and motivation that lead to criminal behavior. The theory is premised on the assumption that a criminal is a rational individual, who will make choices that are beneficial to him under the circumstances. It argues that a criminal will make a cost-benefit analysis before engaging in criminal behavior. If the benefits outweigh the cost, then he will engage in them, and vice versa. This brief report will canvas some of the features that are critical in the theory.

Mary Rowlandson had a particularly difficult experience in maintaining her Puritanism and womanhood, as she was captured by Indians and lived with them for some time. Her experiences, as depicted in the narrative itself, directly challenge Puritan religious beliefs, as well as her understanding of her moral superiority over the Indians who capture her. Mary believes that God has a central role in her life, due to her Puritanism, and so she believes that there is a reason that she was attacked and captured. The book itself informs us of the Puritans' belief in the supremacy of God, particularly through Mary's examinations ...
