In his essay, “Video Games Are Responsible for Increased Youth Violence,” author Ron Moten uses his experience working with troubled teenagers to uncover the negative effects of violent media. The problem he identifies is that violent media is responsible for desensitizing youth to violence, hence increasing crime in our society. Motten assumes his readers are educated and sympathetic, but uninformed of the threats posed by violent media. His purpose in his essay is to raise awareness of a connection between violent media and increased crime in society and to convince the audience that violent media needs to be regulated by laws. To achieve his purpose, Moten mainly uses ethos to appeal to his readers.
She is stating that someone who illegally downloads media should face the same punishments as those who steal physical property. The ideology the lady is expressing is very individualistic. In the eyes of the producers of the product (a song or movie), the act of illegally downloading may be perceived the same as walking into a store and stealing a movie or cd. However, many illegal downloaders do not mean any harm by their actions, who’s to say they will download a movie, put their name on it, modify it, and market it as their own? Although someone could do this to another person’s property, we should still have faith in humanity that we only want to enjoy a free movie or song.
As the terminology suggests, it represents an attempt to keep those with sexual abuse propensities from having easy access to potential victims; in other words, to corral them for the purposes of control and security. Containment programs exist full-bore in such States as Colorado, Pennsylvania, and California. Other States are looking at or organizing their own versions of such programs. One authority on containment models for sexual offenders is Jeremy Travis of the National Institute of Justice. He lays out the general concept thusly: The model process seeks to contain offenders in a triangle of supervision: treatment to teach sex offenders to develop internal control over deviant thoughts; supervision and surveillance to control offenders' external behaviors; and polygraph examinations to help design, and to monitor conformance to, treatment plans and supervision conditions (Travis, 1997).
If anything, it offers the leeway for brothel owners, pimps, and johns to exploit women and children. And the government gets to part take that exploitation through taxation. If sex workers’ advocates are looking for a solution to violence against women under the current criminalized sex market, they should advocate for decriminalizing prostitution. Allow women to sell their bodies. But, criminalize buyers, pimps, and brothel owners who profit from taking away a woman’s divine rights over their own bodies.
Child molesters, rapists and sex offenders, who are they, how they operate and how can we protect ourselves and our children.Final Project.Moises Sandoval.Instructor: Miranda Saake.College Composition II.Bachelors in Science in Legal Studies. | Thesis Statement. Because the rate of recidivism for sex offenders is so high, and because of the devastation this particular form of violent crime has on its victims, the penalties for even first time offenders should be dramatically increased in the interest of public safety. Origins of the problem of sex offenders. Most people think the sex offender registries were only recently established.
The goal of any law enforcement philosophy is to limit crime whenever possible, and it is rather apparent that whatever the statistics may show, sex offenders have a recidivism rate that borders on a pathological need to commit additional crimes. Merely brushing this aside by saying after their prison term that they have paid their debt is insufficient in light of the emerging research; it must be studied further in order to determine what the most effective way to curtail sex offender recidivism is. The research problem I will examining is why sex offenders have a recidivism rate that is so much higher than other crimes. I will focus on scouring the published material to find out if there is some sort of hormone imbalance in the average sex offender, or if there is a commonality in their upbringing that pushed them to commit such horrible crimes. The goal will be to look for links between sex offenders that commit the crime once again after their prison term is over.
Pornography Is Harmful To Women and Children Let it be known that the purpose of this paper is to argue that pornography is harmful to society, but more specifically women and children. Unlike any other media representation of sex and sexuality, pornography within our postmodern society has become a cultural category of significance. The typical seediness has somewhat become lost but replaced by a society that mainly focuses sexual imagery in almost everything everyone sees. High contents of sexual imagery is used in the advertising and music industries as well as a number of late night television shows. This sudden shift in people’s attitudes towards the use of certain sexual and erotic images in today’s society raises a number of questions that need to be answered in order to better understand the harms it does to society.
The audience target is the general public who are concern with methods that can prevent or reduce the number of child abuse crimes. The main purpose of this article is to try to find ways to track and find those who could be possible offenders. This article has very important information that will help us understand individuals who consume child pornography. These results will assist in planning treatment for those who suffered from this disease as well as help authorities organized their strategies to combat these offenses. References Eisner, M..

Society may say that having a person’s limbs ripped off is cruel, but so is cyber bullying. The population would prefer a more non-violent approach to this issue such as, seminars to make parents teachers and children more aware. When it comes to handling bullying, America is all talk. The Americans say that we live in a nonviolent world, yet we promote this kind of violence by showing it in television shows and movies. Each state in America has different laws and punishments with cyber bullying; some states don’t even have laws for cyber bullying.
A quote from the article that puts it in perspective says, “The rush to criminalize children has set the country on a dangerous path. Congress must now shape the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act so that it provides the states with the money and expertise they need to develop more enlightened juvenile justice policies. For starters, it should rewrite the law to prohibit the confinement of children in adult jails.” I like this article because it makes a great case for why the confinement of children with adults is not good for the children or society. We may need another solution to the problem of delinquency, but it should not be motivated by emotions and senseless decisions that will eventually result in society having a bigger problem on its hands
