More significant is that cases of cases of youthful offenders are on the rise on among the young female compared to their male counterparts and this situation is raising an alarm (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 1999). Children who are at the risk of offending in the future are treated separately from the adults. This is given special attention reason being that they require rehabilitation to get back from the bad behavior unlike adults who require punishment. Intervention facilitates in changing the antisocial characteristics which, if not
For example, one psychologist may use descriptive psychopathology to which will strive to provide answers for symptoms or mental illness. Either way, psychopathology is formally used to study mental illness or the distresses which may be affecting an individual. The issues of the abnormal psychology will assist in the study by the way we would use it in the attempt to capture interest, trigger concerns, and demands our attention. It also brings us to form and ask certain questions pertaining to any study. Psychopathology is not the same as psychopathy, which has to do with antisocial
Additionally, these figures may be this high, due to women being more likely to go to the doctor when there is something wrong with their health, whereas men will put off going to the doctors. The graph below, taken from The Daily Mail, shows ‘The Percentage of Population Using Mental Health Medication’ in America, which supports the argument that women are more likely to develop a mental health disorder compared to men. P3 P3 P3 P3 Those who are in a higher social status or social class, tend to live longer than those who are in the working class, or lower class. According to Equality Human Rights (2014), chapter 6 states that ‘Men in the highest socio-economic class can expect to live around 7 years longer than men in the lower groups. For women, the gap is the same.’ An argument for this set of statistics may be that those in a high social class can afford private healthcare, therefore having access to top medical
Drivers Ed Module 8 Young drivers are less likely than adults to drive after drinking alcohol, but their collision risks are substantially higher when they do. The combination of driver inexperience with drinking is a deadly mix that all too often results in tragedy. Teens are more likely to exhibit impaired driving skills at a lower blood alcohol level. What are the risks involved? Teens who drink are at higher risk for date rape, pregnancy, HIV and other STDs, assault, drowning, alcohol poisoning, alcohol dependency, DUI-related injury and death (yours and/or others).
So there is less women committing crimes than men showing a gender difference in crime. Also there is the sex-role theory which has multiple parts to it. One part is socialisation which talks about how girls are socialized differently to boys at young ages. Parsons talked about how girls have clear role models in their mothers, compared to boys. A longitudinal study by Farrington and Painter into female offenders showed that they have poor or erratic parenting which meant that they did not get the right socialisation from their mothers which could have led to this crime being committed, showing a gender difference in crime.
Cultural Diversity in Criminal Justice Malik Freeman CJA/344 9/19/2011 Cultural Diversity in Criminal Justice Juvenile crime rate have been higher in recent years than ever before. Instead of juveniles enjoying playing sports and video games they are learning the ropes about criminal behavior. In this paper I will discuss how race and ethnicity have an affect on juvenile sentencing, certain communities, and how minorities get more time for the crimes they commit. Race and Ethnicity Juvenile sentencing is different from adult sentencing. Juvenile sentencing consists of juveniles up to age seventeen.
(APA, 2000) People with this disorder have an increased risk of suicide and physical illness. Many studies regarding socioeconomic paradigms have shown that the poor classes are more likely to suffer from schizophrenia than the wealthy class; this idea is called the downward drift theory. There are three phases when schizophrenia is unmistakable are called: prodromal, active, and residual. The leading stage would be the prodromal stage, where individuals slowly start to mentally deteriorate; they develop strange ideas and speak, express their ideas in an atypical way. The second phase would be the active stage, symptoms become apparent; often elicited by a loss or a tragically event in their lives.
Joanne Ochoa Mr. Jason Frye Heald College (Modesto Campus) 12/30/13 Abstract Have you ever wondered why some people are capable to commit crimes, or even hurt their loved ones?

According to Jennifer Warner (2006), “Men may experience more traumatic events than women, but a new study shows women are more likely to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).” In laymen’s terms, men encounter stressful situations more often than women while females are highly probable to be diagnosed with PTSD. The WebMD (2006) website, “Researchers say men and women respond to trauma and stress differently, and the criteria used to diagnose PTSD may help explain the higher rates of the disorder among women.” These two statements support my prediction that women are more probable to suffer from posttraumatic stress
We explored the media and the impact it has on the conclusions may people have of minority youth, as well as other media influences that affect the way youth tend to see things related to violence. We also explored which crimes effect minority youth the most, compared to White youth. To conclude, we see that it is particularly African American youth who are more likely than any other category to be subjected to discrimination, and harsher treatment in general. They are also more likely to be involved in violent related crimes, both as the aggressor and victim, and less likely to be given sympathy in the media when they are
