Sexual abuse happens to both adults and children. Children are unable to consent to any type of sexual activity and are therefore vulnerable. Some adults are also unable to consent to sexual activity due to the lack of capacity to understand the full meaning of sexual activity. Although some
Despite the life-altering consequences of incarceration in an adult jail, relatively little attention have been given to these youth (Berlatsky, 2010). On the other hand, the few police departments that have realized the agony youths undergo separate the young offenders from adults. The problem with this mode is, isolation causes the youths to suffer from emotional and physiological problems. On the other hand, another group of people argue that regardless of the offenders age, violent and habitual offenders need to be locked in to protect the public safety and provide appropriate level of punishment(Andrea & Nakaya, 2005.). it is also argued that it right to use the space available in local county jail and state prisons as needed.
Children and adolescents, regardless of their race, gender, culture or economic status appear to be at approximately equal risk for sexual victimization. Statistics show that girls are the gender most subjected to sexual abuse. However, studies have shown that boys, and later, men are more inclined not to report their victimization; perhaps for reason of societal pressure to be proud of their sexual activity (regardless of how unwanted this may have been at the time) proving this crime to be categorized under the abstract theory. So how do we understand the behaviour of an abuser? It is a common place to attach labels to criminals in an attempt to explain and better understand their behaviour through describing them as possessing a certain characteristic trait.
Should Juveniles Be Charge As Adult In Criminal Cases? “Draft paper” Delvitta, Reid Post University CSS101.58: Learn Across Lifespan 10/3/12 Instructor: Erna, Krieger In my draft paper about should children be charge as an adult in criminal cases. To me it depends on the case and the ages of the child have done. Today around the world there are many children going to jail at the age of 12 to 14 .I have seen child charge as adult at the age of 12, and still in jail doing time for killing someone he didn’t like in school and he shoot him in the face. To me the children of today don’t care if they kill someone and they would not go to jail because their age.
In today's world, children as young social individuals can't protect themselves as easily as adults. Therefore, they have been faced with many difficulties in their lives such as abuse, illiteracy or violence. Violence against children is one of the most appalling problems in America, it is the most shocking thing about this issue that children are abused by those that have the responsibility to look after and care for them. In America there are several reasons and ways children are kidnapped, killed, raped and so on. Violence against children it doesn’t happens only in America it happens everywhere, in every country and society and across all social groups, but America is the highest in violence against children.
Almost always their manipulation skills are exceptional. A study just published in the journal Legal and Criminal Psychology found that even though they are more likely than other criminals to re-offend, psychopathic criminals are two and a half times more likely than others to charm parole boards into releasing them. The root of the problem Many researchers now believe that the core defect in psychopathy—and what most distinguishes it from other antisocial behavior disorders—is what are called "callous/unemotional traits." A child who kicks another child because he's angry and can't control himself but feels terrible afterwards may be antisocial, but he's not psychopathic. It's the kid who does it and feels no remorse—or even gets angrier because the other child's crying is annoying—who's most worrisome.
In Nepal when a Maoist supporter is found the standard scenario is the Nepali police barging into homes arresting the supporter so they can beat him/her severely for a few days and then let there family know that they were shot dead in an “encounter” with the police. In the case of fifteen year old Subhadra Sapkota, a dancer from Naubise was performing in Kathmandu to support Maoist rebels was gunned down by the police. Violence caused by the police affects Lucas 2 thousands every year world wide, and the fear of it never ending affects even more, even in countries like Nepal that people would never think of such an act being committed. Justice. Just what does this word mean?
It has been criticized to be too complex and sophisticated for some of the sex offender population. It has been argued that the treatment’s main focus should not be to avoid certain triggers, but to set goals and healthy coping mechanisms (Saleh, et al., 2009). Avoidance strategies can be very difficult and hard to stick with, and results in lowering the self esteem of the offender. Another weakness of the didactic treatment models is that they do not take into account individual factors and treatment may not be really effective because of this (Saleh, et al., 2009). Chemical castration is aimed to reduce recidivism in sex offenders, as it has been thought that reducing or suppressing the production of testosterone will suppress an individual’s deviant fantasies, sex drive, sexual behavior, and
People who abuse their children will not stop just because it is illegal(1, Selwyn Duke , The New American). Studies show that if a teen is still being spanked, he is more likely to get into fights and become violent. Research also shows that teens who are still receiving physical punishment do worse in school than their peers(2, Daniel Martin, Mail Online). There are positive effects of spanking your children if you do it the right way. Studies show that children who are spanked between the ages of two and six performed better at school.
Both Peterson and Wrangham believe that war and human violence exist because of inherited behavioral tendencies. These tendencies are the result of sexual selection where aggressive males typically dominant less-aggressive males, preventing them from mating and passing on their traits. Sure, we can see evidence of this in the Guido tribes of the northeastern United States, but due to rampant steroid use the chances for reproductive success are slim. Nonetheless, Wrangham and Peterson appear to suffer from monomania, as their argument for an inherent tendency towards violence seems to focus primarily on sexual selection as the driving force behind keeping the aggressive "gene" in our blood. While they conclude that pride is an integral factor in perpetuating violence, primarily among males, it does not prove that humans and chimps are biologically prone to violence.
