Fear of confrontation with resourceful parents overwhelms their desire of alerting child neglect. As a result children may continue to live in negligent despite public knowledge. Children with disabilities have in general a larger risk of being abused (predators seek out the weakest). Knowing this, both families and teachers have a very low threshold for alerting Child welfare. The situation may improve if the issue of children’s welfare were put on the agenda, in media as well as in school.
It is a common place to attach labels to criminals in an attempt to explain and better understand their behaviour through describing them as possessing a certain characteristic trait. There is a varied finding on who exactly commits child sexual abuse, but the most common finding that is present in the majority of child abuse cases is that sexual offenders are predominantly family members or are closely regarded or known by the child. People who sexually abuse suffer from emotional immaturity, low self-esteem, an inability to see harm in their actions and lack the knowledge to control their impulses. Often
The Need for Harsher Sentencing for Convicted Sex Offenders In our day and age, I honestly believe that convicted sex offenders are not being punished sufficly. First off, the sentencings on some of the crime classifications are atrocious not only to the victims, but also to victims that have yet to go through the situation with their children. Second, not all crimes that are committed are subject to register to the sex offender list. Lastly, not all crimes that are committed are subject to life time monitoring, which in my opinion should be mandatory for if not all, most sexual acted crimes committed. To begin with, some of the sentencing for sex offenses is out of control.

Although surveillance may not be beneficial in all scenarios, in relation to sex offenders, it is in the best interest of society to perform such a method. The term “sex offender” may generally be categorized in a variation of ways among society. For scholars Simon Cole and Jonathon Simon, the term “sex
The article slams the judiciary and critises their use of discretion in dealing with sex crimes. The article believes that the sentences have been too lenient and not reflecting the expectations of the community. This is further supported in the case of Richard John Annetts. This 50 Year old man was sentenced to 12-months suspended jail term with supervision from the probation and parole service. He was found guilty for possessing and filming children in the male change rooms of Ryde Aquatic Centre.
In these days, the affairs of child abuse have been often reported by several media. The range that can be dealt by the government and the law is limited though "Child abuse prevention law" was made at last in recent years. It is not possible to deal with this problem without the understanding of the essence of the cause no matter how the law is maintained. Why does child abuse occur? There are three main factors behind the rise in child abuse: problems of the parents, of the children, and those in the environment.
During a grueling two hour-long interrogation, Miranda allegedly confessed to these crimes (McBride, 2006). Only finishing school up until the ninth grade, Ernesto wasn’t considered a very educated man. His lack of education, paired with the fact that he had a history of mental instability, made a confession from Miranda easily obtainable without having council present to represent him. With his recorded confession, the prosecution was able to convict Miranda of rape and kidnapping, thus sentencing him to 20 to 30 years in prison (McBride, 2006). After the Arizona Supreme Court threw out his appeal, Miranda appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Some of these adverse outcomes may include sexual dysfunction, drug abuse, difficulty in relationships, and low self-esteem. Most of those who have been abused sexually do not realize the effect it has had on their lives.

Divorce has become a sort of an epidemic in today’s society and poses a big threat to it. To give the love of both parents by a single parent is a difficult task, though not impossible. But the moral support that both the parents give is different in its own way. The cause and effect of divorce can go to such an extent that it might leave a permanent scar on the mind of the children which might last forever, forcing the child to indulge in violent crimes. Effect of Divorce on Children Divorce generally puts children at greater risk for many kinds of
