The family in turn will rely on the educated child to grow up and have a good job, so that when they have their own children they are able to pay taxes towards their children’s education and so on. Unfortunately in poverty or poor areas it can be difficult for society to change the cycle. This can delay or even prevent improvement. For example, if parents aren’t working and therefore not paying their taxes, this could lead to crime which could mean that the local government cannot maintain high educational standards. Teenagers leaving school cannot find good jobs and can result in them turning to vandalism; drugs and many may not find or even look for a job.
If at any point they failed, they would see this as a big mistake and give up and have a lack of motivation. It can also be argued that working class children do not get the support of their parents, this is because many of the parents believe that they survived without an education, so believe that there children can do the same. Working class families can also lack in support in terms of if the child fails a particular exam, they would not give them positive feed back on how they could improve they would improve. Whereas, it can be argued that higher class families have more motivation and the parents also give the support to the children that is needed. This would have a positive influence on the child’s education as it would give them hope and not give them an opportunity of giving up.
A Sociological Issue: The Big Gang Theory The concept of a gang can mean just a group of people that you like to spend time with. In America, though, the term gang has become much more than that. The term gang now speaks of something that puts fear in people because of the crime and other problems that they bring to our culture. There are a variety of large and small gangs in our country and for the most part they do not represent anything good. There is much more to a gang then just a group of delinquents as they are so often perceived.
Many employers are hesitant or unwilling to hire ex-convicts and parolees, because of their criminal background. Most employers ask applicants if they have ever been arrested if they answer yes then the applicant more often than not does not get the job. Another factor contributing to this problem are communities without alternative programming for at risk youth, and that does have a tendency to produce a high rate of recidivism. It begins with unemployment challenges, which is one of the major challenges that x- inmates experience when applying for a job. Many employers are hesitant and unwilling to hire ex-convicts and parolees, because of their criminal background.
The recidivism happens because those juveniles do not feel like the fit in the community after they leave the juvenile correctional centers. The society views them with suspicion; they are thought to be criminal because of their past behavior. They therefore find a way of surviving and this leads them back to their old groups and then back to crime again and therefore the trend recurs (Parks, 2007). Deficiencies in the Evidence
While the characters of ‘Cinnamon Rain’ are relatable, they aren’t as close to a year eight student, due the age difference. It’s harder to understand how the characters of ‘Cinnamon Rain’ are feeling, as it is highly likely that none of the year eight students studying the topic ‘Contemporary Issues’ have been in the same circumstances as the characters of ‘Cinnamon Rain’. While students may not understand the circumstances of characters in ‘Cinnamon Rain’, it will be easier for them to understand the circumstances and setting Avalon is in. Avalon is cyber-bullied, and most year eight students will understand how effective cyber-bullying is at wearing down a person’s self-esteem. They will be able to understand that not everyone fits in and is ‘popular’ at school, and how some are bullied because of it.
The challenges facing groups in law enforcement organizations in America include public policy, political, punishment, rehabilitation, crime victim, criminal investigation, and agency cooperation challenges (Stojkovic, Kalinich, & Klofas, 2012). Public policy is a critical challenge facing groups in law enforcement organizations in America. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, public policy has been on the downslide, causing major challenges for law enforcement groups. The reason terrorism creates a challenge to law enforcement groups is because society distrusts law enforcement in the wake of September 11, 2001. The current lack of trust within society about law enforcement’s ability to protect America from terrorism creates gaps in public policy for law enforcement groups, which results in society demanding that law enforcement groups re-develop new policies that prevent and combat terrorism on American shores (Wilson & Herrnstein,
Furthermore, excluding young offenders from society is denying them the opportunity to meet positive role models and mentors. . With other trouble people is simply perpetrating the problem it is teaching them bad behaviour and excluding them from all of the positives influences they would experience in normal society they need to be able to experience different things and develop positive goals because if they have a sense of purpose they will become better people in the future. Second of all only 14% juvenile offenders are in detention and the rest of juvenile offenders are supervised in the community. So if 86% of the offenders are being supervised why the rest of the 14% can’t also be supervised.
Their relationships with their family are badly compromised because this disorder causes teens to make no efforts to hide their behaviour, and they are not concerned with the feelings of others. They are most likely to not do well at school and not attend school regularly. What are the causes contributing to Conduct Disorder? This disorder is most commonly found amongst adolescents with troubled past experiences (mainly child abuse) and family issues, which can include parents with drug and/or alcohol addictions and family conflicts. It can also be caused by genetic defects and often arise out of situations of poverty.
Some teachers have a strict no cell phone policy. There are many reasons for this; one of them is teachers believe that cell phones are a major distraction during class. They believe there is a time for technology and while they are lecturing is not one of those times. Another con is not all students can afford a cell phone. It would be unfair for teachers to use cell phones most of the time because not all students have that ability.
