This because such children who have records of crime develop to become uncontrollable gangs in the society. In this view, the government has dedicated a lot of resources to rehabilitative projects in order to reduce these numbers. In addition, a number of intervention measures have been engaged to help the society to control criminal delinquents. However, there is still much to be done. In this article, we shall evaluate the effectiveness of the measures that have been taken to control the children and adolescents who have a high risk of future offending.

Youth Violence in Schools American InterContinental University Abstract During this paper, I will discuss youth violence in schools, and how the media has portrayed it. I will focus on the urban schools since it has the bulk of stigmatism resulting from public opponents with who placed blame on the parents opposed to the type of community these children are forced to be a part of. In addition, there is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which is the cause of many of these youths acting out. lastly, acknowledging the social groups and parents who are trying to aid with being positive in fighting those stigmas and obstacles by educating them and giving them different types of avenues to spend their time. Violence in Schools I chose Youth Violence in Schools as the topic for my post.
Step 1 – Define the problem When reviewing and revising cyber bullying policy for the city of St. Joseph, I took it upon myself to look at the past and present policy upon bullying and cyber bullying St. Joseph has in place. I looked at the St. Joseph School District policy and noticed the school policies defines bullying as “repeated and systematic intimidation, harassment and attacks on a student or multiple students, perpetuated by individuals or groups. Bullying includes but is not limited to: physical violence, verbal taunts, name calling, and put downs, threats, extortion or theft, damaging property and exclusion from a peer group”. I looked at the current policy on bullying for the St. Joseph school district public schools. Although
There are four types of discrimination, the first is individual discrimination. Individual discrimination is the behaviour of one person to another or a group of people, the next is institutional discrimination; this is when discrimination is built into the way the institution is run. Next is overt discrimination, this is when an individual or institution knowingly treats someone unfairly on the bias of race, gender, etc. The last is covert discrimination, this discrimination in subtle, for example applying criteria that people will be unable to meet, this type can be intentional or unintentional. Discrimination can be seen in practise with stereotyping, labelling, disempowering, abusing, bullying, abuse of power, infringements of rights and over-riding individual’s rights.
There are several theories as to why teens act out in violence, which results in many rules and regulations at schools and other places that there were not before, but can be prevented by using several different avenues including the family, schools, and the community. The new knowledge I learned about my subject is the way teens react to conflict
It’s pervasive, even when we’re pretty sure we believe in equality we find it hard to make calls on whether abuse in a relationship is conflict or mutual or something more sinister. We know that men who abuse tend to blame other people, alcohol or circumstances for their violence. And it’s not just abusers who have that attitude. A 2009 National Survey on Community Attitudes to Violence Against Women found that 18% of Australians thought that ‘relationship violence can be excused if it results from temporary anger’. Similarly 1 in 5 categorised ‘yelling abuse at a partner’ and ‘controlling a partner by denying them money’ as either ‘not that serious’ or ‘not serious at
In recent times, people have resorted to cyber bullying as there is a potential for a wider range of victims to inflict pain and suffering on as compared to the old-fashioned schoolyard bullying. This is because when victims are abused verbally, the victim might not remember every word the bully has said, but in the case of emails and text, chatrooms and websites the targeted students can read what the bully has said over and over again. Moreover, written words seem more concrete and real compared to spoken words.
Bullying could happen in many forms, it could be cyber, verbal or physical. Everyone can be prevented bullying from happening. At school and the community teachers, counselor and community leaders can look for change in behavior in people to identify a bully. Examples of verbal bullying could be the names calling and taunting. Physical bullying is involved the intent a person to hurt the other party.
Individuals that bully have a mental imbalance of power among his or her peers that shows signs of unwanted aggressive behavior, repeated threats towards other children. Bullying includes the aggressive attacking on someone with verbal or physical abuse repeatedly. This form of behavior comes from acting out because the child’s home environment is abusive and this child must vent this anger on his or her peers. Bullying can be stopped in all schools if the community leaders, teachers, parents and law enforcement were to develop prevention and intervention programs as well as making bullying a crime punishable by law.Find/locate credible academic sources that specifically outline prevention and intervention programs. Gather statistics on how these prevention and intervention programs affect bullying incidents.Look Here:http://www.apa.org/monitor/oct02/bullying.aspxSpecific State Laws Against Bullying http://education.findlaw.com/student-conduct-and-discipline/specific-state-laws-against-bullying.htmlBelow is a fairly current list of specific laws against bullying by state.
