2012. This article basically covers the Impact of Child Maltreatment and family violence can have on boys and young men, and how society tend to tolerated or in some cases even encourage among boys than girls. The article also give statistics showing that twice as much males are abuse when compare to female. I want to talk about abuse on a wilder skill and not just something that happen to one gender because some people might not know that young boy can also be sexually abuse. "Abuse, Interpersonal."
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
2 Juveniles Should Be Tried as Adults in Certain Circumstances Mary Onelia Estudillo Mary Onelia Estudillo has written several articles for The Guardian, the student newspaper of the University of California at San Diego. The juvenile justice system was originally created to provide individualized rehabilitation to offenders of minor crimes such as truancy, shoplifting, and vandalism. But youth today are taking advantage of this lenient and outdated system and are committing violent crimes because they believe they will get off easy. In order to provide justice to victims and their families and to prevent more and more juveniles from committing violent crimes, the United States must hold criminals accountable—regardless of their age—and impose
They were deviants, not criminals. According to the three boys Ronny, Jr. and Jose, who committed non-violent crimes, it didn’t matter what they did; they were now thought of as criminals by family, friends, community etc. The way people look, talk, and act around them is different. They then embrace this title, and are more likely to have another arrest. According to Rios “in this era of mass incarceration, society has formed around the idea that young adults who commit small acts of deviance will eventually commit more severe acts and this leads to community members treating all deviants as criminals”.
CJS/240 July 16, 2012 Asharani Moore Typically the majority of juveniles are unaware of the laws that follow when juveniles commit offenses. However the threat punishment does deter juvenile delinquency because most youths do not want to be punished for their actions. Enforcing harsher punishments upon juveniles will not prevent or decrease juveniles from further behavior. Instead increasing the availability of police and probation officers could provide juveniles with one-one-one assistance to focus more on rehabilitation rather than punishment. The general ideal of the deterrence method suggest that one punishment is enough to deter other people if the situation is take care of quickly enough.
Violence usually emerges as a behavior in middle to late adolescence but there are precursor developmental antisocial behaviors that may lead to violent behavior. This behavior is on a continuum from defiance of authority to more severe forms of aggression. Each individual is different in how severe these forms of aggression manifest themselves, “some developing minor aggression only while others progress to serious and repeated violence.” This is the developmental pathway to violence and how far each individual progress on that pathway has been the subject of extensive study. Investigators focused on whether developmental sequences in problem behavior represent permanent changes in behavior. These conceptual pathways have the following features: 1) Individuals who advance down one pathway displayed behaviors of the earlier stages of the pathway.
Although politicians claim that the public demands tough policies, moral panics tend to dissipate when the crisis passes. Many around the country would argue because of more serious crimes committed by adults has fashioned an umbrella on the juvenile system which imposes robust crimes for the juvenile themselves. Now when a juvenile has committed a crime, the next step is the procedures of handling the juvenile physically and mental status. Following the arrest of a juvenile offender, a law enforcement officer has the discretion to release the juvenile to his or her parents, or take the offender to juvenile
Policy Issues Submitted By Jaclyn M. Peluso March 23, 2015 Submitted To Darrell Cook CJA/314 Faculty University of Phoenix Intimate partner violence (IPV), better known as domestic violence (DV), affects many children in the United States. The overall effects on children who are witnesses to physical, mental, and sexual abuse are damaging to their well-being. For example, exposure to domestic violence affects a child’s physical health, behaviors including social and emotional outbursts, brain function and, neurobiological and relational development. It is important to understand how domestic violence affects children residing in an unstable environment. This paper will discuss domestic violence and its effects on children
Furthermore, child maltreatment is a consequential social problem. Youth’s who either witnessed or endured violence and abuse in the home are much more likely than those from nonviolent homes to participate in similar behaviour elsewhere (Flowers, 2002). Lastly, the link between poor parental supervision and juvenile convictions are closely related. American studies have shown that parents who have ineffective and lax monitoring of their children displayed a consistent pattern of delinquency (Arthur, 2007). American criminologist Travis Hirschi makes “attachment” (Walsh, 1991:108) the backbone of his control theory of delinquency.
This is because most teens tend to offend by committing non-violent crimes, only once or a few times, and only during adolescence. It is when adolescents offend repeatedly or violently that their offending is likely to continue beyond adolescence, and become increasingly violent. It is also likely that if this is the case, they began offending, and displaying antisocial behaviour, even before reaching adolescence[4].
