there is no solid proof that the media causes violence, and although parents do a lot to help and protect their children, there are still some steps that can be taken to protect their children against violent and sexual material. Government intervention not stands for it. Violence starts at home, not on TV or in a computer game. America needs to stand together and fight youth violence and promiscuous sex without taking away the rights of citizens. We all want to help America's youth, but Government intervention (stronger enforcement of existing laws or new legislation) into availability of popular culture media would not help to reduce violence and promiscuous sex among America's
Growing up, we all go through these situations where we are the victims of hurtful situations. As long as it doesn't get out of hand, it can be seen as a rite of passage. Some kids are afraid to go home at night too. With no home life and scared at school, kids can turn to drugs and alcohol for release. Society, parents, and schools do not teach children the skills of physical, psychological, emotional and verbal self-defense.
Furthermore, excluding young offenders from society is denying them the opportunity to meet positive role models and mentors. . With other trouble people is simply perpetrating the problem it is teaching them bad behaviour and excluding them from all of the positives influences they would experience in normal society they need to be able to experience different things and develop positive goals because if they have a sense of purpose they will become better people in the future. Second of all only 14% juvenile offenders are in detention and the rest of juvenile offenders are supervised in the community. So if 86% of the offenders are being supervised why the rest of the 14% can’t also be supervised.
“But the Duvitches were marked people.” (3) This prevented them to do what they wished peacefully because where ever they went they would be harassed by the town folk. And that harassment helps to prevent them from feeling free. Moving into a new country is tough, but moving to a place where the community doesn’t accept you is much harder. Even though you are technically free, you can never be free unless you are accepted by the community you move to. This is shown in the short story The Strangers That Came to Town by Ambrose Flack.
The YCJA should not be amended by Bill C-10, to be tougher on youth offenders because jail doesn’t work, to incarcerate youth because it is costly, and because the YCJA’s founding principles would deteriorate if Bill C-10 were to be passed. Jail does not work and never has. The Youth Criminal Justice Act was implemented to replace the Young Offenders Act to keep youth out of jail but is now being amended to put more youth in jail. This concept is flawed because, to reiterate, jail does not work. What works is providing services for mentally ill patients, rehabilitating prisoners, and reintegrating newly released prisoners into society.
When a life changing incident happens, like a parent going to prison, this can also affect the relationship between kids. Other children don’t understand why there friend is always down, never confides in them anymore and never wants to go out and do things. This is because they are not experiencing everything their friend is going through and they don’t know how to react to the situation. Most kids lose a lot of friends when dealing with a situation like this. It also affects the relationship with other family members.
Many employers are hesitant and unwilling to hire ex-convicts and parolees, because of their criminal background. Unfortunately this goes back to the question of how do I provide for my family and the only thing that comes to their minds is what does surviving mean for my
Community members would be hesitant in providing officers assistance when needed and they would not be receptive to any of the other services that the police offer. If members of a community start to feel as if they’re being harassed or targeted by their local police department, those members will develop an “us against them” mentality. Another example on how this strategy can negatively impact the community would be fear. A mother is waiting for her teenage son to come home from an after school program or part time job and he doesn’t get home at his normal time. She may be fearful that her son is being stopped by the police simply because he is a young minority from a low income neighborhood as opposed to an affluent
The facts clearly indicate that juveniles are incapable of holding their own in a counsel defense due to their lack of knowledge on how to navigate the judicial process. It cannot be denied that the developmental, social, and historical circumstances of adolescents show that their capabilities to work with their defense counsel and comprehend long-term consequences are limited. In addition, those who are incarcerated in adult prison facilities reenter society with more criminal-like features than before they were imprisoned and are more likely to be rearrested for yet another felony mainly because they were not offered rehabilitation during their crucial developmental adolescent years. Juvenile justice should be focused on rehabilitation and reform of character rather than condemning those who are convicted to a life of
For instance, you called the police because your husband just assaulted you. This example was used because the mindset that most couples have is that the police should never be called in order to address a domestic violence situation; thus, the victim of this type of violence suffers on a consistent basis. Law-enforcement involvement with minorities is rarely voluntary. Most minorities only call the police as a last resort; therefore, when the police are called the situation is usually out of control. The main reason presented for minority citizens not calling for police assistance is the belief that everyone involved in the situation will be arrested.
