I take a high level of pride in my last name because I was always taught it represented our family as a whole. Whenever someone says “Alex Keller” is not a good person, they are shaming my entire family and that isn't something I should bring upon us. On the contrast my mother, hailing from Detroit, taught me about standing up for what is right and having my voice heard. Many social issues such as racism or homophobia were never really a problem for me. I literally didn't even know things like that existed till I got to intermediate school.
THe World State doesn't want people to give their people responsibility because they want, “Stability, No civilization without social stability. No social stability without individual stability,” (Huxley, 42). The World State doesn’t give the people responsibility to because with responsibility, there is a need to fulfill the responsibility and stability is threatened when the responsibility isn’t. So the World State gives jobs that they know will be fulfilled and then when the job is done they are set loose like children. Despite the lack of responsibility, there are women who are not freemartins that, “did not forget their contraceptive precautions by the regulations,” (Huxley, 77).
This then lead for official statistics and the law enforcement to show a bias towards working class boys. This research shows how deviance only exists because people have decided to attach a label, thus the labelling theory is useful in explain how a deviant and criminal behaviour is classed as this. However, it fails to explain why some people certain crime and deviance in the first place before they are labelled. Also, as said in Item a ‘’deviant individuals are labelled when their actions are discovered and provoke reactions from society. However, this reaction will take differing forms, depending on how the nature of the action is perceived.’’ But as well as this, labelling theorists look at the effects and reaction it causes the individual to take.
Criminal Law Foundations Evaluation If laws were not in place, individuals could not hold onto their individual properties. Social life would be impossible without laws to help control the way people behave, think and treat each other while in public and private locations. Criminal laws were designed to reflect the accepted behavior in a community, such as morals and the criminal act itself, or Mens Rea and Actus Reus. Thus when people break the law and are caught, the accused are provided certain constitutional rights. Criminal law consists of bodies of regulations and rules that will specify and define the punishments for the wrong committed against society or the state.
Outline and evaluate functionalist explanations of crime and deviance Crime and deviance can be defined as behaviour which breaks the law or goes against society's norms and values. Downes and Rock defined deviance as behavior which may be considered as banned or controlled behavior which is likely to attract disapproval or punishment. Crime is harder to define, however Pease (2002) defined crime and deviance as an action that is deemed so disturbing by citizens or disruptive to society that state intervention is justified. The macro perspective of Functionalism sees society working like the human body, this is described through the organic analogy. The agents of socialization work together to form equilibrium within society.
As well as, I think that laws vary descriptively from one culture to another. Aside from the threat of legal consequences, what other types control our behavior? I believe a person’s behavior is barely commanded by their sense of a good code. One of these codes know what is irrelevant and relevant what is helpful and useless, and what is right as well as not wrong . Also, I assume that an individual grows up learning these good codes.
c) I don’t believe my organization complies with all of the requirements because I don’t work so this does not apply. d) No one is responsible in my organization to make sure these compliance laws are met because once again I do not work so this does not apply. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): a) It is important because it helps everyone out in a time of need and also keeps personal information safe from the public unless authorized. b) It impacts your IT environment because it lets everyone know what is supposed to be private or what how they are protected in a time of need. c) I don’t believe my organization complies with all of the requirements because I don’t work so this does not apply.
Both models start with a person who commits a crime and needs to have some form of punishment put upon them. The next similarity is that the person would have committed a crime that was illegal according to the law, and that it was illegal at the time of the crime, not after. Lastly, these two models are similar because the defendant has the right to choose how they would like their case handled, according to their legal rights. A defendant can choose to use the Due Process Model if they would like to go to trial and use a jury to decide on their charges, or to use the Crime Control Model and get a plea bargain, to get their punishment over with, rather than drawing it
A culture is the way of life of a particular society where everyone follows the same norms and values. However, there are some people who step out of these norms and values and become ‘deviant’ in society- these are referred to as subcultures. Subcultural theorists, as Item A states, ‘see crime and deviance as a group activity’, and so try and explain deviance and crime in terms of a subculture of a certain group. However, some say that explaining subcultural crime ad deviance in society today is not useful as it doesn’t consider individuals motives. Cohen, as Item A also states, was interested in ‘what causes members to be attracted to rule breaking.’ He argued that lower working class boys want success and a status, but yet cannot achieve this due to cultural and relative deprivation which ultimately causes educational failure and dead end jobs.
Regardless of what might have happened over 10 years ago, doesn’t change the fact that she took another human beings life who just happens to be her own flesh and blood. There should be absolutely no sympathy for a murderer yet people are still trying to see her side of the story, as if it matters. Being a mom of a one year old and three year old, it is unthinkable and disgusting to know another mom could do such a terrible crime. I know things like this do happen but I just cannot wrap my head around what could possibly be worth ending your child’s life for? Nothing will ever mean more to me than having my beautiful daughters with me close to my side for the rest of my life.
