It is also easy to understand how parents fail to recognize the gang identifiers, such as graffiti, signs and symbols, tattoos, or particular styles of clothing, worn or used by their son or daughter. How does this happen? They simply do not take the time to become aware. It is extremely important to realize and understand that not everyone who wears a particular color, or who has a tattoo, is a gang member. “Bloods” wear red, “Crips” wear blue.
Pacettas Rules for Leadership Kevin J American Military University Frank Pacetta had a lot of native talent but he squandered it in his early years with Xerox (Pacetta p.12). Luckily for Xerox and himself, he was never fired and received the training and mentorship that he needed to morph into the type of leader who would take charge of a failing district and turn it into one of the top performers in the country. Mr. Pacettas parents were a large influence on him as a person but also as a leader and boss. His mother had to take care of his brother who was handicap and he heard stories about how great of a boss his father was. Mr. Pacetta would take the never quit attitude from his mother and the business and people savvy of his father and combine them to make one outstanding mentor and leader.
TRANSITION: Let’s look at the statistics of gang violence On page 161 of the California Law Review, Crawford claims that “no state is more affected by gang violence than California, which contains more than one-third of all gang members in the United States and attributes more than twenty five percent of all its homicides to gang activity.” With these high crime numbers, law enforcement agencies were forced to come up with new and inventive ways to prevent gang violence. I. First gang Injunction A: In 1987 Los Angeles introduced California’s first gang injunction and a state-wide injunction was issued soon afterwards. B: Many people quickly became outraged and started claiming that gang injunction ordinances violate their first Amendment Right. C: Citizens in California’s gang ridden areas have begun to feel like “prisoners in their own homes.
Participation in gangs is highest at fourteen or fifteen years of age (Klein and Maxson 41). This is an age where many children attempt to define their identity in some meaningful way. In the absence of a clearly defined family structure many young males turn to gangs as a replacement for that structure. In a study done on members of a Hispanic street gang in New York City called the Latin Kings many gang members reported “a lack of comprehensive authority that their parents exercised over them” (Barrios and Brotherton 216) as a significant cause of their decision to join the gang. The parents of these children do nothing to reign in their kids and will often define their children’s criminal activity as simply acting out in an attempt to deny their children are involved in gang activity
Personal Perception of Organized Crime Naylia Nunn CJA 384 November 21, 2011 Personal Perception of Organized Crime Organized crime is common is society today. There are many types of organized crime. The people who participate in organized crime are from all types of backgrounds and make various excuses for what he or she does. Organized crime is a part of life for some individuals. I would describe organized crime as groups of people taking the time to commit criminal activity without being caught by law enforcement officers.
The notion of what makes a good father may be a cultural concept, but that doesn't mean that there is necessarily only one way to be a good father. Society should not take a stand against fathers for many reason such as, every case may be different, it is not a crime and it is a family matter. Moreover, every case of fatherlessness differs from other cases. There are cases where fathers may be too young and immature to take care of a family, so they run away and leave their families. But there are situations such as in “I’m Not a Deadbeat Dad” where the father wants to be part of his child’s life, but by law he was required to contribute with 45 % of his salary to the child, and see him whenever the mother allowed (Maldonado 35).
He is neither good nor bad. As Wilson says in an interview “we’re all like our parents.” (Wilson 824) Troy’s character was forged by his own father who worked all day in the cotton fields to provide for his family and believed that children had a certain role to play to forge their own independence through hard and menial work. “All he wanted was for you to learn how to walk so he could start you to working.” (Wilson Act 1 Scene 4 794) Troy did not see that he was just like his father when he was pushing to work menial job. Perhaps both Troy and his father were trying to teach their sons independence. Since getting a job and supporting one’s family was an integral part of their being, both parents were attempting to teach their children the responsibility and ensure that they acquire skill that cannot be taken away from them by circumstances.
Itachi spent much of his time researching the history of the village from the writings their ancestors left behind. Because no other child his age cared about the ancestors of the village, Itachi grew up isolated from his peers to the point he didn't even care about being liked or even making friends. His isolation seemed to extend to even his own family as he rarely had dinner with them and his own father Fugaku, couldn't figure him out. During the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, Itachi was left alone to take care of his infant brother Sasuke and promised to protect him no matter what. When the Nine-Tails found its way to the Uchiha district, Itachi ran with Sasuke, determined to get him safe from harm.
The absence of parents who work too many hours and do not pay attention to their child’s life, practically they leave the streets to raise them. It is essential for parents to participate in the most complicated times of a child’s life in their teenage years, during this time of life many kids end up joining a crew. Gangs use children because they know that whatever the child under thirteen does, they cannot go to jail. Adolescents who are engaged in life and have enjoyable relationships with their legal caretaker are more likely to do well in school, have better social skills, and have lower rates of risky/delinquent behaviors than their peers. Caretakers, schools and communities have a strong impact on the choices that a child makes.
