Rehabilitation of mentally ill in prisons and jails: issues and concerns

The California Department of Corrections (CDC) in 2005 added the term “rehabilitation” as a part of the agency’s official title, becoming the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or the CDCR. However, the change in title did not result in a change of philosophy in the treatment of prisoners in the United States. Though the reintegration of the methodology of rehabilitation officially entered the regime of the CDRC, there is little or no evidence that the methodology has significantly changed (Berkeley- University of California, 2009, p. 277).
Berkebile (2010, p.1) reported that by 2009, California’s penal facilities ...

Introduction

In the modern world, human trafficking is a problem that causes humanitarian concern. Victims of human trafficking have endured unimaginable suffering. Humanitarian aid workers have often been on the forefront to salvage the situation. However, their efforts have been frustrated since some law enforcement agents and politicians support this illegal activity. The fight against human trafficking in the United States can be traced back to 1999 when the Congress raised an alarm over the issue. Unfortunately, the vice still persists although the number of victims has reduced. This therefore raises several questions about human trafficking as it affects the well-being ...

A growing number of probation officers, judges, prosecutors as well as other juvenile professionals are advocating for a juvenile justice system which is greatly based on restorative justice.

It enables the youths to become productive and competent citizens. This guiding philosophical framework for ...

Abstract

Overview: It has been shown that there is a positive correlation between a reduction in recidivism and prisoners’ acquisition of education while in prison. Correctional institutions have invested heavily in the provision of education for prisoners in order to reduce recidivism. Career and vocational programs are the most important. Prisons collaborate with a number of businesses in the provision of vocational education to inmates in the form of release programs where inmates get acquired with various job skills through on-the-job training occasions.
Objective: To evaluate the role of Bandura’s social learning theory and self-efficacy and self-determination theory in the learning ...

- Introduction
Establishing justice for the victim of a crime is one of the purposes of the legal justice system; it is a founding basis upon which other legal principles are built. There is a difference between justice and revenge, however; and revenge is often the topic of discussion when including victims in the legal process is concerned, particularly in the sentencing phase. The discussion here will center around the question of whether the victim or victims should be involved in the sentencing process, given their close emotional connection with the crime in question.

Introduction
Maintaining an adequate police personnel level is one of the most prominent challenges currently facing the field of law enforcement. The supply and demand for competent officers are going to be changed due to intensifying law enforcement errands, escalating attrition and declining resources. These challenges might have initiated throughout the latest economic recession and actually worsened as the economy improved (Wilson & Weiss, 2014). The question arises whether the durable obligation of applicants and current officers will continue in times of economic development since enrollment and retention of officers have both become an escalating ...

The world has experienced an extraordinary internet growth since the last millennium. There has been a considerable measure put in place to adapt to this growth. The vacuum could be so unhealthy if the law did not catch up with the trend (Susan, 2005). The Americans in their bid to secure their fundamental rights and freedom in this new era of information technology adopted the fourth amendment to their Constitution.
Nonetheless, the internet age has made the amendment so porous and almost worthless. The advent of cybercrime has brought up the modern violation of the fourth amendment (Susan and ...

Introduction

The purpose of this study is to determine the deterrent effect of the death penalty or capital punishment in the commission of future crimes. Most of the criminal experts believe that the justification for the imposition of the death penalty against criminals should be for retributive grounds and to make the criminals suffer the consequences of their actions. Thus, when a person kills another, the retributive effect of capital punishment or the death penalty is take the life of the murderer (Radelet & Akers, 1996). The main reason for the imposition of the death penalty is to discourage the murderers to ...

Sexual abuse is the action where pressure and coercion is used on an individual in order to engage in a sexual activity that they do not want to get involved. (Grubman- Blac 91). These activities may include among others oral sex, rape and even sodomy. Many of the people on the receiving end are women, but today statistics indicate that young boys and men are also on the receiving end just like the girl child. But in as much as the rape cases are on the rise, many rape cases for girls are reported each year as compared to boys. ...

Introduction

The topic that was chosen for this research study is the death penalty. The occurrence of heinous crimes and rise in the criminality rate supports the restoration of death penalty. Many of the death penalty advocates believe that is a legitimate sanction against murderers for retributive purposes. The more compelling reason to restore the death penalty is the positive claims on its deterrent effect to future crimes. Thus, the punishment can be regarded as a lawful discipline to discourage hardened criminals from their wrongdoings.
This topic was chosen because there are several countries around the globe which questioned the legitimacy ...

Tax Research Project 2

Introduction:
In 1976, Congress amended the tax law to include Section 280A (Lawyer, 1985) in the Internal Revenue Code. Congress’ reason for the amendment was due to concerns that people were renting out their vacation homes so that they could deduct personal expenses that would not, under normal circumstances, be deductible (Lawyer, 1985). Section 280A required vacation home owners to assign expenses connected with the vacation home either to personal use or rental use. Congress apparently hoped that Section 280A would limit or control the business deductibles for expenses sustained on a vacation home during the tax year when ...

NAACP decided to help the children of the blacks who had been denied the chance to go to all white schools. The Board of Education was ...

The capital punishment has become a basis for serious conflict in the modern world because it does not provide freedom to experience grace of God to the criminals. The criminals are humans at a fundamental, and therefore, they have to be given the opportunity to heal their spirits. The supporters of the capital punishment argue that murderers must pay with their lives for the crimes that they have committed. The old testament of Bible wants the justice system to prevail in the world that can take an eye for an eye approach. The latest Biblical testament works in order to promote ...

Painting and modeling

Whenever people are isolated from their peers in society, they experience a strong urge to prove themselves worthy of their inclusion. Extreme cases of social repression causes the victims (the disabled people) to get into desperation that leads to protests and activism. Such desperate measures, however, do not help the victims to qualify for inclusion in the social classes they target so they can feel normal (like everybody else seems to enjoy normality). For instance, most activities normal children participate in, may not be open to those with special needs. The frustration builds and causes not only bitterness and hatred but ...

Introduction

Criminal justice system issues are studied nowadays and will be studied until humankind exists. The point is that such issues are rather controversial. Some people state that we are only humans and we are not allowed to judge others. On the other hand, there are those who are always unsatisfied with verdicts and state that sentences should be stricter. I am studying the issue of capital punishment for juveniles. In my opinion, this issue is significant to study because there are many discussions on this topic. There are those who state that juveniles should not be punished so strict. ...

Human trafficking is an issue, which comes from ancient times, when Egyptians made their slaves built famous pyramids and Romans exploited Greeks in order to fill the gap in their own education. Times changed and every human is born free and able to choose his own path. However, modern slavery though illegal, takes its place and poses a great problem of the modern society. So personally for me this acute issue is worth being discussed and given attention to.
According to the definition taken from the official website of the Department of Homeland security human trafficking is viewed as ‘a ...

The war on drugs is an effort to regulate the drug market in the United States.

Human trafficking has been defined by Clawson et al as “modern day slavery” and it is a crime that affects every nation of the world (2009). As a crime it is most commonly associated with the women folk and little children who find themselves traded for the purpose of sexual or labor intensive services. The Citizens for Community Values (n.d.) stated that human trafficking does in fact go beyond sex and labor to other forms of exploitation. Agreeing with that definition the arm of The United Nations that handle unfair treatment of human beings have described trafficking as “the ...

Gun control is one of the most divisive topics in American political culture today. Because of the ambiguity of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, many people have different opinions on gun control and the appropriate level of gun control in the United States. While there are many good arguments both for and against gun control, it is important to look at the many different facets of the issue before coming to the inevitable conclusion that gun control is an unnecessary evil in American culture today.
Many people decry American culture as overtly violent, and too ...

An extensive research and analysis of the measurement properties of empowerment and police department motivation found out that content, criterion-related and convergent validity are well established. Validity measures how close the subject being measured is to the intended measurement. For instance, empowerment correlates as expected with effectiveness and job satisfaction in the police department (Oyer, 2011). Internal consistency, which measures how well a set of items measure a single dimensional construct consistently on different occasions consistently ranked above .7 and showed that empowerment was reliable (O’Brien, 2010).

Since my research focuses on California, it was the state that I tended to concentrate more on. He gives illustrations as to why the youth decide to become delinquent and also gives a brief history of youth criminals in California. The only negative quality that I would probably attribute to Ferro’s literature is that he tends to concentrate more on the reasons why the youth in California ...

In ancient Greece when someone committed a murder the weapon was destroyed because the Ancient Greeks believed that fate was decided by the gods so the murder was not as responsible for the crime as the weapon itself. Instrumentality when used in reference to weapons is the hypothesis that the increased availability of weapons in a certain area also increases that areas likelihood of weapon based offences. Essentially the increased availability of guns increases the chances that a criminal will choose a gun as their weapon of choice for committing crimes, not to mention this also increases the range of crimes this criminal ...

For instance, beheading was common practice for punishing murderers and deserters during war. However, as several countries settled into the nations we know today, death penalty gradually reduced, and diminished ...

Do offenders show less empathy than non-offenders?

Different people show different emotions towards different things in society. The level of this emotion of empathy differs from one person to another. In an argument by Davis (1994) human beings are created in way that they show emotion on every aspect of the environment. The author further argues that what differs is the rate at which this empathy is expressed. For instance, it is a general assumption that women show a greater depth of empathy compared to women, women have deeper and much sensitive emotions. These differences are attributed to the psychological strength and capabilities of an individual. & (2009) argue ...
