Abstract This paper will explore and give a synopsis on the cycle of juvenile justice. The synopsis will include a look at the past 200 years of juvenile justice policies in the United States. According to the text, Bernard and Kurlychek believe the cycle is driven by several unchanging ideas that force us to repeat, rather than learn from, our history (Bernard, T., & Kurlychek, M. (2010).). Among these beliefs is also that, juvenile crime is at an all-time high […]

Get help with your assignmentMore female juvenile offenders (FJO) are entering the Juvenile Justice System (JJS) than ever before. Public reactions attribute this influx to female youth becoming more criminal, however, evidence suggests that gender bias contributes to it, through harsher sentences and defaulting to confinement for FJOs. In this study I aim to examine the evidence suggesting gender bias in sentencing, including differences between male and female juvenile offenses, the degree of leniency for juvenile male and female offenders, the origin and implementation […]

Serial killers are the result of a wide range of things, one factor that is shared is abuse. Profoundly awful encounters, particularly amid youth, can have a considerably more profound effect in grown up life. They can shape a person’s identity and life decisions. This conduct ingrains in the child’s sentiments of embarrassment and defenselessness, emotions which they will later try to impart in their exploited people.

In a NY Times article, writer Maya Rhodan listed the different times Trump wanted there to be quick trials that he said should end with […]
Since the 1800s scholars and scientists alike have been piecing together the puzzle that is the mind of a serial killer. Early scientists believed phrenology, or the measuring one’s skull size, could be used to determine if that individual had the tendencies of a serial killer (Class Lecture). This theory has been since debunked and deemed too simple of a tactic. In fact, the ecological model implies that intentional homicide is the result of an interplay of individual, relational, social, […]
Animal cruelty must be stopped. Each year tens and thousands of animals show signs of being abused. Furthermore, some of these helpless creatures are even brutely killed. Each living being whether animal or human is capable of feeling pain. In fact, research suggests that those who tend to abuse animals show signs of psychopathic behavior. Hence, assailants must be punished by the law with harsher sentences and not just mere fines. Therefore, as humans, can we really say that killing […]

However, the formations of Chinese gangs in both countries are different. In the U.S., the identity crisis is the main factor that leads to gang formation.(Long, 1996). Asian immigrants often found themselves in a cultural conflict: while one stressed strict obedience, the other stressed independence and self-sacrifice, and the inability to reconcile the demands from two inconsistent identities became the cause of the formation of the gangs in the U.S(Long, 1996). In other words, those people came together to realize […]
Alcohol-impaired driving fatalities accounted for 29% of the total vehicle traffic fatalities in 2017, according to the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility.

Opinions on addiction and therefore addicts range from the utmost sympathy to utter disgust, and it seems to be a frequent social battle on whether or not addicts deserve treatment or an unceremonial death. While people bicker on what current addicts deserve or what their lives should look like, there is arguably not enough attention focused on the trials […]

Little did they know my father was the biggest pothead ever, I occasionally stole hundreds of dollars worth of underwear from Victoria’s Secret, and my mother was dealing with the consequences of a […]

We do not support any positive youth development programs that allow participants the time […]

It is a place for the confinement of persons convicted of criminal offenses and is therefore part of a larger penal system, which includes other aspects of criminal justice such as courts, law enforcement, and crime labs.
