Abstract

Juvenile delinquency is one of the most pressing issues that any society can face. There are certain risk and protective factors that influence children's disposition toward criminal behavior. These factors can be grouped into community, individual, and social categories.

Like Freud, Erikson was certain childhood events shape adult personality. Unlike Freud, however, Erikson argued that development continues throughout the lifespan (Miller, 1983). Working on the foundation laid by Freud, Erikson developed the stage theory wherein the lifespan was divided into eight stages beginning at birth and continuing through late adulthood. Erikson theorized that each stage was defined by a “psychosocial crisis” (Weiten, 2005, p. 302). The first five stages occur through the lifespan through puberty. Each stage must ...

[Author Name] You do not have to wear the uniform to appreciate the inherent difficulty of police work. Each work day is different, and there is no clear and consistent guidebook on how police should make unsupervised, split-second judgements, handle threats to public safety, properly maintain order, or determine the efficient allocation of limited investigative resources. In truth, the unique requirements of their jobs demand that officers have broad authority to exercise their best judgement: the core of police discretion. Kelling (1999) describes two discrete aspects of police work that require that officers be insulated from knee-jerk, public scrutiny: ...

Globalization has come up with major trends amongst multinational corporations and other ordinary entities.

Abstract

Nothing offends a society and community’s sense of morals and safety than instances where the most vulnerable of the community are subjected to brutal and crimes that define reason. Various agencies played significant parts in the perception of sexual felons as brutal, unfeeling and callous “brutes” out for the satisfaction of their own perverted carnal pleasures. However, research shows that what the media and other agencies reported tend to skew a proper study and comprehension of the proper understanding of what actually comprises sexual deviance. In addition, the public’s understanding of sexual felony is mainly founded ...

Abstract

Domestic violence, as its name suggests, involves intimate partner and family violence. The law has historically treated domestic violence as only a secondary issue. The treatment reflects the longstanding notion that family and domestic matters are private and should not be subject to law enforcement interference. Compounding this blasé attitude towards domestic violence was the fact that traditionally, women were considered to belong to their husbands. Until very recently, a husband could not be prosecuted for the rape of his wife. What is important to note is that domestic violence affects all types of persons. There is no one, ...

Slavery will always remain a black page of American history and a huge shame on the country that was even then considered one of the most developed, intellectual and strong.

Africans were just imported in the U.S., and they were starting to create their own culture away from home. During their lifetime, many slaves wrote the narratives about their lives. ...

Introduction

Social control theories emerged in the early 1900s which questioned why not all humans commit crimes. Unlike the criminology theories that examine why an individual commits criminal activity, the social control theories focus on how certain individuals refrain from it. There were several notable sociologists who expressed their ideas on how the society and its traditions can ensure that an individual will conform to a law-abiding lifestyle. They identified two types of controls in their theories. Informal and formal control. The informal control mechanisms are family, friends, or their individual social circles. The formal control is from the Government ...

This study was mainly focused on repeating what other studies have done in the past; to understand the relationship between marijuana and schizophrenia. The literature suggested that there was not enough research on the topic in terms of finding out the root cause of patients taking marijuana, even if they had medication.

Patients that were also mentally healthy were having the same effects when taking marijuana. What the literature also spoke about was distinguishing between actual ...

Discovery documentary explains how the drugs affect person’s body by conducting the series of experiments to test coordination, concentration stress-resilience and strength, as well as general health condition of regular drug users.

I found the experiments very informative, as they explained the biological aspects of drug effects. The most unexpected behavior for me was the heroin abuser, as she does not look as an addict, and what is more, does not act like one. She is driving a car ...

Introduction

Social learning theory is a comprehensive theory that encompasses interrelated concepts about human behavior. The first to develop this theory is the American psychologist, Albert Bandura, in the 1960s. Bandura theorized that people learn behavior through observation, which he proved through his ‘Bobo doll’ experiment. Social learning theorists believe that human behavior is not just a product of the ‘cause and effect’ phenomenon as what behaviorism suggests, but rather, human beings processes information from the environment and learns their behavior over time. According to Bandura, man is a thinking creature; that he is not helpless to the psychological and ...
