Daniel kongou April 6, 2012 Juvenile’s justice Juveniles Should Be Treated As Adult Professor RAMSEY Juvenile’s delinquency has become a major problem for law enforcement and for the community. Nowhere seems to be safe nowadays because kids want to act like adult and want to take control in any situation especially when it goes to their benefits. They want to have the power and the respect by becoming gang members. They commit criminal act in the community and are not afraid of the consequences. They do not have or take the time to learn about life and what is good for them.
One example of this is that more police officers can go onto the police force, so that the young person sees them everywhere and believes that they mightcatch them. Specific deterrence says that if a single person is punished strongly for onecrime, then they will not commit this crime again out of fear of punishment. For example,a youth who commits a crime is put into a program. Crime prevention strategies that aresituational aim to tell young people that the benefits of crime are not worth the eventual punishment. This is to let people know that the punishment always far outweighs thecrime.
Many people are taking a closer look at the police department’s behaviors. Some of the behaviors that are being looked at closely are excessive force, taser use at schools, and placing bait cars on the streets. Excessive force is one of the most comely used excesses for criminals when they get caught. I believe if you are told to stop or pull over by a policeman, you should. If you fail to stop or pullover, I feel the police should have the right to stop you any way they can.
Disorderly Youth in Public Places Brandon G. Creel Grantham University Abstract For this essay I have chosen “Disorderly Youth in Public Places”. I will discuss “What the police can do to prevent, reduce, and/or minimize the threat/impact of “Disorderly Youth in Public Places” in the community. I will also discuss how important community policing strategies work in stopping this type of behavior and how important the community is in the success of the police department. Without the communities involvement the mission would fail. Growing up in Biloxi, Mississippi; children played organized sports to keep out of trouble.
Drugs are good. Just kidding but shouldn’t we at least consider the consequences of the zero tolerance policy? Drug abuse in schools today is a major problem. Zero tolerance policy is a great way to stop the drugs but some of these rules are enforced just a little too harsh. I have seen drugs ruin people’s lives and tear apart their family, there is no doubt that anyone should be doing drugs, let alone kids.
Jamie O’Meara’s Idea is that for children to lose interest in using guns there should be gun education as part of the school’s curriculum. He believes not only that it will remove the mystery but teach children to be responsible with guns. With that, gun education in schools is an idea which needs support. Teaching gun education will remove the curiosity and glamour of guns, cut down on accidental injuries and deaths, and promotes the idea of a gun being a tool and not a weapon. Firstly, exposing children to guns and gun education will take away from the curiosity they might have later in life that would have led to an issue or incident.
“When crime rate goes up there is a further dip in the public perception of the police resulting in a greater antagonism towards the police on the part of the public “(1985). Peacemaking is the basic duty of the police force; if police is caught doing things that is not ethical in the community eyes the situation in the community will not change. The public perception of the police is the criminal justice system should work on the factors that cause the public to lower their trust in the way police treats their communities. Making better police in the community can result if there is better cooperation from the criminal justice system. The way police handles combating crime and brutality most attempts to redeem police image would involve education for both public and the police on the effectiveness crime control measures.
They should still be punished. If they aren't, they will think that crimes are okay and continue to commit them. Why they should be tried as adults?. A crime is a crime no matter who commits it, Just because a child committed the crime doesn’t mean the victim didn’t suffer and it also doesn’t mean the family of the victim doesn’t continue to suffer. The legal system makes children understand that their actions have consequences keeping them from doing it again.
In most juvenile homicide cases, they are automatically put into the adult justice system for committing the adult-like crime. Some of these children are receiving punishments such as life in prison, even life in prison without parole. Although, the kids may have committed the “adult” crime it is unethical for youths to be tried as adults. Youths should not be tried as adults because they are too young to understand the adult criminal court and could receive cruelty from the state penitentiaries. Also, instead of sending the juveniles
This is why I believe that it’s not the schools fault. Additionally, the article conveys “‘if a school employee witnesses a behavior that is problematic and makes a conscious decision not to address it, it becomes schools problem’.” (Diblasio).This may be true; however it is only resolved for that incident but later on, the bully can decide to be more careful and bully the student more outside of school because an adult intervened. Now I am not saying not to intervene, just that it wouldn’t make the bullying stop completely. Studies have shown that most of the times, the bully is the one that needs more help because maybe he is bullying because he was or is being bullied too. It is also hard to detect but in most cases, this is true.
