Unit 6 Project: Troubled Youth Vulnerable in Crime HN200 November 23, 2011 The specific populations I feel is vulnerable in terms of crime are troubled youth. I chose this group for a few different reasons. The first reason is based off the statistics in the text showing a much higher percentage of 15 -17 age group pertaining to arrest rates over adults. This is dealing with violent crimes in the U.S. Secondly youth are easily influenced and will do almost anything to fit in, even if it means committing or being involved with crime.

Every student experiences some sort of bullying; however, some social groups experience harsher and more frequent bullying. Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual students (GLB) often face many obstacles. High school is often considered a jungle for any student but what about students that are GLB?
