Assess the nature and extent of the relationship between alcohol and crime. Alcohol does not always cause crime but the relationship between alcohol and crime has been an issue for many years. Since the 19th century, more critical attitudes towards drinking began to emerge and studies have continued to show the deterioration of the nation’s drinking habits. This essay will evaluate and discuss the UKs drinking habits, young people and alcohol and the consequences of drinking, how drinking will cause young people to offend, how the media portrays crime and alcohol and some policies and action plans that have been put in place to tackle crime caused by alcohol. Alcohol may not necessarily cause people to commit crimes, but it plays a big part in people’s attitudes towards alcohol and how it may affect an individual when out drinking with friends or at home and how it may cause violence in a household.
It is good to know that there are effective treatment programs out there that can help handle people’s addiction. Some of the media out there does promote drug abuse.

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.

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.
The drinking age isn't meant to be a big deal, but the first couple years of lowering the drinking age could cause many students to be reckless. There are many responsibilities that come along with drinking at a low age, most importantly drinking and driving. Lowering the age will reduce all such problems, but at first will seem extremely hectic. Lowering the current drinking age of 21-and-over will allow young Americans, most of who are perfectly capable of drinking responsibly; to no longer drink in private or in short amounts of time, thus alleviating potentially dangerous conditions.

It was set because teenagers can develop serious health issues. Poisoning of the blood can occur from a large dose of alcohol in one period. When teens are drinking, they are not considering the dangers of their actions. Their judgment is clouded by the effects of drinking. Another health concern is the effect that drinking has on the brain, which is still developing in all teenagers.
They learn how to control their drinking and what to expect from the effects of the alcohol (Nayak 141-142). This may be true for some parts of the world, but it does not deem overall success in achieving overall healthy drinking habits. It still leads to harm development and early age drinking still has potential to raise the risk of alcohol abuse in adult life. As an example, by Wechsler and Nelson, most European countries have lower drinking ages, this has resulted in a rise of drinking problems among teens and the amount of binge drinking is doubled that of the U.S. When New Zealand lowered their drinking age in 1999, they were definite increases in the number of emergency injury influenced by alcohol, as well as the higher rate of
So raising the age of which you can consume alcohol will result in less accidents and deaths caused by drinking. So raising the driving age will make roads more safer as well as create less tragedies because of drinking and driving. Raising the drinking age will benefit teens and their lifestyles. “More than 25,000 lives have been saved in the U.S. thanks to the 21 Minimum Legal Drinking Age,” so why not raise it higher to prevent more accidents (Why 21? )?Some teens are peer pressured into drinking while some may drink because of depression.
More watchful parents and closely monitoring a child's friends will lessen or eliminate the ease of accessibility to not only marijuana, but other drugs as well. As a society, we have failed our youth in many areas of life. Youth need positive role models that are concerned about protecting them from harm and leading them in the right direction to go on a lead productive, drug-free lives despite any changes made to the laws. Being that age restrictions are put on everything else, there should be legal age restrictions for people who can legally purchase marijuana.

The author tried to convince the parent as well as the experts that being a teenager can’t be an excuse for committing sexting by using the logic strategy, “ But this is something that just cannot be dismissed as kids ‘ doing stupid things.’.”, And he or she was trying to convince the audience that the authorities don’t consider these teens a criminals, but they just want to put an end to this “dangerous new trend” as he or she used the ethos strategy, ”Authorities aren’t convicting children, but using the law as teaching tool and trying to put stop to a toxic new trend.” . The author used a pathos appeal when talking to the oppose experts by mentioning the sad story of Jessie’s subside, “ Bertani must not have heard of the Cincinnati suicide.” ; Also he or she used a logos appeal to convince the experts that this “dangerous new trend” is not a private issue and it is also due to the irresponsibility of the parent to their teens: “ The civil libertarians may wish to consider their position.
