When it comes to how women with comorbid mental health and drug abuse will be recruited, there will be a dual-pronged approach. The first part will be advertising and solicitation to get women who are not already in treatment into a judgement-free zone so that they can enter treatment and perhaps get both into the empowerment group as well as clinical mental health treatment. Women coming from the other direction should be done as well, those being women who start off with mental health treatment and that want to get the social and empowerment part of treatment and recovery ...

Proposition 36 - Literature Review

Before 2000 The three strikes law commonly referred to as Proposition 36 has had a long history. It started in the year 1994 when the state passed Proposition 184, which allowed courts to convict a person from 25 years to lifetime if that person had two or more serious convictions for a violent felony in the past. It also qualified the courts to double a person’s penalty of a convict if had been convicted of a felony before (Farabee et al., 2004). The initial attitude was that it was mandatory in all qualifying cases. This attitude came to ...

This paper considers the links between drug addiction and crime rates. As described by Gottfredson et al. (2008), they are “two of the most intractable social problems facing the United States.” Extensive research into the relationship between drugs and crime has produced three explanations. The first is that the use of drugs leads to criminal activity. The second is the reverse of that; i.e. that crimes lead to people using drugs. The third explanation offered is that the relationship between drugs and crime has a series of common causes. The objective of this research paper is to establish that drugs ...

Role of drug abuse in criminal activities

Introduction According to Drapela (2006), drug use and abuse is not only detrimental to an individual’s health but also plays a role in facilitating criminal behavior in the society. The research aims to identify the root cause of the delinquents’ crimes (Maldonado, et al. 2010). This research will seek to provide strategies that will enable the administration of the right strategy that would alleviate criminal behavior completely (Anglin, et al. 2009). This strategy would indeed treat the cause of criminal behavior, rather than treating the symptoms of the problem (Haberstick, et al. 2011). Furthermore, the application of information ...

There are many words that are never explicitly taught to children but they still manage to learn them and they do this with the help of morphology (Carlisle). In language acquisition, morphology can be described as a strategy utilized by children and even adults to discern that meaning of complicated words they do not know by studying their internal structure (Anglin).This strategy consists of morphological analysis in which complicated words are broken into meaning elements that are a part of the whole word, such as its bases, prefixes, and suffixes, which are collectively known as morphemes. Learners are able ...

Drug use and crime have a complicated and intricate relationship. Everyone who uses drugs does not become addicted to them, nor does everyone who uses drugs commit violent crimes. Apart from crime, the use of drugs gives rise to a variety of economic and social concerns, such as illness, early death, and considerable decline in productivity. Currently, two of the most obstinate social problems that the United States is facing are drug addiction and drug-related crimes. Policy makers and scholars have both held countless debates on the relationship between drug use and crimes, and the large volume of literature is proof ...
