As we know, our society is developing very rapidly. Especially after the financial crisis in 2009, the unemployment rate is very high and the competition for the job is intense. According to the “Bureau of Labor Statistics”, the unemployment rate in 1980 was 7% but the unemployment rate in 2011 is up to 9.1%. The economic circumstance is totally different from the past. Thus, our view of things should also up to date.
Secondly overcrowded prisons have an impact on rehabilitation programmes which potentially could be a reason for the high rate of reoffending in the UK. Finally the essay will discuss the crisis of the whole criminal justice system as the high volume of prisoners could be an indication of a wider crisis in The Criminal Justice System in England and Wales. At present it is estimated that crime and criminality costs UK society approximately £35 billion per year and currently the government spends approximately half of it on police services 2009/10 and fifth on courts dealing with the issue, of this money only £4.6 billion is spent on prisons (Ministry Of Justice, 2010). As the prison population is rise one of the main reasons for the crisis is the lack of availability of space. It has been argued that the penal system in England and Wales needs to become less punitive, more tolerant and successful (Scott , 2008) .

The economy is considered to be very unstable at the current time, and it is the duty of the United States government to do everything in their power to once again stabilize the once booming economy for the sake of the entire country and its citizens. Current Unemployment Rate Currently unemployment rates in the United Sates are a less than desirable 7.9%. Although, this number has decreased by 2.1% from its peak in recent years, it is still believed that there is a long way to go. Prior to the recession unemployment rates fluctuated between 4% and 6% (www.bls.gov, 2012). This increase in the unemployment rate is having considerable impacts on the economy.
went from being a reigning king to being challenged for its throne. Different curveballs were being thrown at the U.S.A such as international countries developing at a quick rate-mainly Japan, China, and India- energy prices spiking, and inflation/unemployment spiking to great highs. In 1973-1974, the first of two major “oil shocks” increased the price of petroleum by almost four times, dramatically raising energy costs for both consumers and businesses. Workers’ demand for wage increase outweighed the rate of productivity growth, driving up unit labor costs for businesses. The annual inflation rate spiked to over 10% in 1974 and again in each of the three years from 1979 to 1981.
Based on a graph presented by David Cooper and Doug Hall in the report “Raising the Federal Minimum Wage to $10.10 Would Give Working Families, And the Overall Economy, a MuchNeeded Boost,” throughout the United States, 11.4 to 27.5% of children (varying by state) have parents who would be affected by the raise in minimum wage. Thus, raising the minimum wage would leave more money for parents of families in poverty to buy their children food, clothes, shoes, and other necessities that, in many low income cases, must be rationed. Amongst those who are struggling to survive off of minimum wage, in 2011, half were under the age of 25 (United State). Many college students struggle to balance time for academics, extracurricular activities, as well as finance: car payments, rent, student loans, food, gas, and many others. One article from USA Today, “How Much Would a MinimumWage Increase Help Students?” by Jackie Tempera, features a college student, Christin King.
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, Members of Congress, my fellow Americans: We are fifteen years into this new century. Fifteen years that dawned with terror touching our shores; that unfolded with a new generation fighting two long and costly wars; that saw a vicious recession spread across our nation and the world. It has been, and still is, a hard time for many. But tonight, we turn the page. Tonight, after a breakthrough year for America, our economy is growing and creating jobs at the fastest pace since 1999.
Juvenile Court Process Cherry Mc Knight CJS/220 August 29, 2012 Mr. Vernon Hale Juvenile Court Process Juvenile crime has increased many decades ago, but there is conflicting evidence whether or not juvenile crime has decreased or increased in today’s society. I think that juvenile crime will continue to increase due to the economy situation. When the economy is at a standstill on jobs, the crime rates automatically goes up and it can involve adult’s offender as well as juvenile offenders. Once both offenders commit a crime they are entering the criminal justice system, whereas there are many differences in the process system.
The New York Times claimed that, “When immigrants do take jobs, they’re hard workers” (Preston and Connelly a1). Therefore, it greatly contributes to America’s retirement system. The presence of immigrants also contributes to America’s long term population growth, necessary to stabilize the overall retirement fund. The Springer Science and Business Media’s journal states that some other countries in the world suffer from the labor shortages and a demographic crunch, in which a very small number of workers will be expected to pay the retirement and health care for elderly people (Gold 409). The ratio of retired people to workers is expected to dramatically increase in the coming decades, which would result in significant changes in the Security System of America’s retirement money.
Luis Cholotío-García ENC1102 – Professor Fiedler April 24, 2012 Research Project The Fiscal Effects of a Comprehensive Immigration Reform The critics of immigration reform declare that legalizing 11.5 million immigrants will cost billions of dollars, which will increase the federal debt. Moreover, they blame the undocumented population for taking the jobs of American citizens, and for contributing negatively to the recession that the country is currently experiencing. However, pro-immigration reform studies have concluded the opposite stating that the law will have a dramatic, positive economic impact. Immigrants arrived freely in the United States of America since before the settlement of the thirteen colonies in 1776. Since then—236
