This then lead for official statistics and the law enforcement to show a bias towards working class boys. This research shows how deviance only exists because people have decided to attach a label, thus the labelling theory is useful in explain how a deviant and criminal behaviour is classed as this. However, it fails to explain why some people certain crime and deviance in the first place before they are labelled. Also, as said in Item a ‘’deviant individuals are labelled when their actions are discovered and provoke reactions from society. However, this reaction will take differing forms, depending on how the nature of the action is perceived.’’ But as well as this, labelling theorists look at the effects and reaction it causes the individual to take.
The documentary uses music and selective footage to represent teenagers in the dominant ideology of contemporary society. The student Sam reinforces this representation as he is seen in the documentary as a trouble maker and a bully to Dean. This is seen through the selection of footage and interviews. Sam is viewed as a bully as the footage only shows the bad behavior or when he is making rude comments. Another reason why the selective footage is important is the audience is positioned to see Sam’s weaknesses when he is sitting down doing maths with Mr Goddhard.

In his essay, “Video Games Are Responsible for Increased Youth Violence,” author Ron Moten uses his experience working with troubled teenagers to uncover the negative effects of violent media. The problem he identifies is that violent media is responsible for desensitizing youth to violence, hence increasing crime in our society. Motten assumes his readers are educated and sympathetic, but uninformed of the threats posed by violent media. His purpose in his essay is to raise awareness of a connection between violent media and increased crime in society and to convince the audience that violent media needs to be regulated by laws. To achieve his purpose, Moten mainly uses ethos to appeal to his readers.
When you’re a young adult, you mainly have time for school, work and your friends. If you have a baby you really can’t hang out with your friends as much.

When it finally came time for his trial, all of George’s contributions and achievements were never heard, the only thing that played any role in his trial was his criminal record, which is sad to see. The initial problem is that judging the crimes committed as opposed to the boy himself, drives the system closer towards punishment as opposed to rehabilitation. When the child’s needs are not considered nor acknowledged, a personalized treatment cannot be appointed.
