Historical Origins of Correctional Enterprise

Correctional systems are institutions for rehabilitating criminals. They include prisons and community- based systems. After being convicted in court, criminals may spend time in correctional systems away from friends and family. There are different types of correctional systems classified according to the government level in which they function: private, local, state or federal. They can also be classified according to the level of security, age, and gender (Waldron, et al. 2009). Most correctional systems run Correctional Enterprise programs that provide opportunities for prisoners to learn new skills, be productive, and responsible. This initiative’s objective is to instill values ...

Response to Luciann Mendez:

I would tend to disagree with this student, as we see more of a roller coaster effect happening with crime rates, even by their own admission. Crime rates have certainly increased since 1941, but they have decreased when one compares 1991 to 2010. I believe it is most likely that we will continue to see rates rise then fall again, as we have seen in previous decades. According to this student, the arrest rate per 100,000 people per year in 2012 was 3,888.2 arrests. According to the FBI website, in 2014 the same rates had dropped to ...

The company has been performing poorly for last few years in terms of its revenue, sales, profitability, and cash flows. The market share of black berry was declined to 5% in 2012 from 20% in 2009.

The United States sought to privatize prisons due to the cost of incarceration which had increased as a result of the increase in prison population. The government wanted to save money yet the capacity of prisons was increasing. Private corporations had the ability to build prisons and manage prison services at a lower cost that the government.

Private prisons boomed in the United States in the 1980’s but this was not the

beginning of private prisons in America. States throughout America had privatized prison labor at various times throughout the nineteenth century. Kentucky was the first state to actually privatize the whole operation of a prison facility in 1825. Many states followed Kentucky, however, ...

Both China and the USA are some of the biggest contributors to the global market. Both economies produce large quantities of good that are shipped globally. Since bulk production requires a lot of labor, and the prevailing poverty rates among the citizens, children start to work in the dangerous environments of the labor market. The safety and workers right as well as the employment standards are irrelevant when it comes to the means of eking a living. Consequently, children have joined the labor market to eke a living, denying themselves an opportunity to pursue education and develop a higher ...

The Moral Critique The moral critique views that political scientist's, as well as economists, became less principle experts who betrayed their original vision and goal of political economy. Greater than any other social sciences economists separated themselves from these controversial concerns in last half of the century and have since developed a personal contained professional discourse. The newly created discourse is that of positive science that excludes the evaluative claims earlier stipulated. Myrdal Gunnar never wanted to see these economist returning to the political and moral commitment and advocated for a clear distinction between the advocate and scientists roles ...

Introduction:

Pensions are an essential part of a civilized welfare state that rewards hardworking and taxpaying citizens with security in old age. The rationale behind pensions is that citizens who have worked for a living for almost 40 years of their young lives and have paid taxes deserve to have a regular source of passive income after retirement in old age. This is to ensure their basic needs are taken care of and they do not become a burden on society and private individuals. It also ensures higher spending in the market as opposed to a greater part of earnings ...

A free market economy is said to be free because market forces of demand and supply control it. There is little or no government intervention at all levels of the economy. Therefore, the equilibrium price of goods and service market is a mutually agreed price between the sellers and the buyers. The state doesn’t intervene by offering subsidies, imposing taxes or through any form of regulation. The free market is an ideal one that cannot exist in the real world. However, governments can deliberately reduce their influence in the market to shift from a command economy towards the ...

The United States Department of Labor describes competitive sourcing as a key element of the President’s Management Agenda that seeks to get the best value for money on taxes paid by the American people. This is accomplished through a strategic plan that leverages the market economy’s competitive forces to improve the efficiency of the government. It involves awarding of tasks and activities to the most qualified party through a competitive process. Government organizations are allowed to compete for work against the private sector based on the assumption that both can perform tasks and deliver commercial services cost-effectively ...

Section A - Charge (Road Toll)

Introduction Road toll entails the fee that is levied on road users on vehicles within certain specific routes. Levying of road users has a long history since antiquity. Fees on roads usage in history were collected from travelers who were on foot, wagons and horse backs.

In the modern world, levying of roads and road infrastructure is conducted in a rather civilized and harmonized way and is exclusive to motor vehicles. This is ...

Human Rights for Prisoners

The prisons in developing regions such as Africa are viewed as the worst rehabilitation systems in the world due to overcrowding, violence, and a host of other issues. The institutions do not uphold human rights based on their deficient conditions and practices. However, many rehabilitation systems are under crisis all over the globe (Cavadino, Cavadino & Dignan, 2005). The number of inmates has risen to devastating levels in the developing nations and the United States. The countries need to develop secure prisons that uphold human rights to ensure that the justice system acts as an effective weapon in fighting crime ( ...

In a global economy, markets are open to all nations to participate freely. However, with the wave of globalization, there is a wave of inequality around the world due to the utilitarianism and utility maximization among nations (De Woot 2). Business ethics have been compromised for selfish gains across the globe causing injustice to most of the developing nations. The solidarity principle focuses on relationships where people do not compromise the rights of others as an end means for their selfish gains (De Woot 2). People regard each other as friends and share interests, ideas, resources equally. There are ...

Introduction

The concept of consumption and consumerism involves a situation in which people are continually purchasing and using products mainly promoted by a capitalist economy.

As the consumers buy products in bulk, the economy develops, which in turn sustains the political class (Miles 148). Ironically, the consumers do not get much recognition, and they are ...

Thatcherism is typically described by analysts and political experts to be an ideology which espoused achieving a supported governing competency with the reconstruction of traditional conservative tenets with a focus on autonomy over a series of issues, they deemed as issues of “high-politics” Moravcsik, 1991). Specifically Margaret Thatcher’s rise to power in came on the heels of post War World II, a deteriorating industrial based economy and the provision of abysmal governmental services and a deep seated crisis of the state during the mid-1970s (Gamble, 1988). These “new politics’ within the Conservative traditions emerged during a recession and ...

Kaelyn demonstrates a clear view of what chapter 12 and 13 convey to the readers. Ravitch clarifies that the necessity for merit pay implies monetary incentives for teachers. I would say that it contradicts the fact that most teachers are passionate enough in doing their job to educate the students, they do not need monetary incentives. I commend the explanation of Kaelyn because she explains this point clearly. It is true that the criticism undermines the confidence of the teachers and the competition merit pay is harmful to the teacher collaboration. In addition, the system creates weak teamwork ...

Overcrowding or overpopulation in prisons is defined as a situation when prison(s) hosts more prisoners contrary to the certified normal accommodation (CNA) as stipulated in the establishment’s requirements (Garcia & Marco, 2012, p. 37). This can be validated when there is the scarcity of rooms for inmates to sleep. Besides, the inability of facilities to offer adequate meals or food, poor health care services for inmates, insufficient staff who can care for inmates and ensure their safety as well as the lack of designated accommodation facilities necessary for detaining separately various types of prisoners, more so those that ...

The theory of shock doctrine explains how stealth, force, and crisis can be employed in certain scenarios to support the implementation of some economic policies which include things like deregulation, privatization, and reduction in the provision of some social services (Norberg, 2008). As postulated by Naomi Klein in The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism advances the theory is evident. Metaphorically, Klein looks at the previous electroshock therapy that was conducted with an aim of returning troubled patients to a state in which they were able to write a new personality (Harrison, 2009). It is possible that the ...

Unions’ Response to Neoliberal Globalization

The Unions’ responses to neoliberal globalization have not been positive. This has been evident from their poor performance over the last decade. The concept entails a set of policies that guides the global operations of business organizations. Specifically, they entail the regulations as to the labor costs incurred businesses to ensure employee social growth. The main aim of introducing the neoliberal globalization was restore profitability of the firms as well as economic restructuring over the radicalization period. Additionally, they were related to the labor policies whose main goal was to make the trade unions weak and ineffective. The effect ...

Modern consumer capitalist democracy or, simply, modern capitalism, has been widely and profoundly criticized by numerous scholars, policymakers, and national leaders. Margaret Thatcher, Herbert Marcuse, and Ralf Dahrendorf were all critical of modern capitalism. But the question is, were their reasons similar or different? This paper critically examines the argument of each of these figures and then identifies the continuity (or discontinuity) between their ideas. Fundamentally, Thatcherism embodies the huge importance given to a small state and free markets. Instead of planning and controlling enterprises and consumerism, the role of the government is to avoid interfering. However, Margaret Thatcher ...

“Arguments surrounding the size of government are often posted in terms of their effects on economic growth” (Labonte 20).

A country with a strong economy is a country with an effective government and strong momentum when it comes to the transition and process of business and marketing. The development of a nation depends largely on its economy including the distribution of income to working citizens, the growth of industries inside the country, strong investments, and a strong employment status. However, it is difficult to ignite a chain effect of development for a strong political economy. Take Poland and Hungary for example, Poland’s economic development is on a positive streak for many years now, “Poland’s overall economic ...

Discuss the argument that private prisons save states money and prevent fiscal crisis. Based on the report, the argument that prisons save state money and avert fiscal crises is a mixed one. Whereas some research findings back this claim with documented data, other findings offer contradicting information. A 2007 study on this topical issue by the University of Uttah for instance, reveals that cost effectiveness of private prions is not guaranteed (ACLU, 2011). Savings margins in this regard, may be too small or negligible to prevent a fiscal crisis. Several other studies and legal reviews have backed this claim ...

According to the theory of capitalism, this economic system "creates wealth through advancing continuously to ever higher levels of productivity and technological sophistication; this process requires that the "old" be destroyed before the "new" can take over" (Gilpin 3). Therefore, one of the most important state functions in the process of continuation of capitalism is capital accumulation for the purpose of ensuring higher levels of productivity, which is realized through means of provide a legal and infrastructural framework. Taking this into consideration, another crucial state function is the regulation of capital flows and social distribution of surplus value generated ...

Efficient monetary and fiscal policies help countries avert a financial crisis like the one witnessed in 2008.

Different countries have diverse economic policies. Consequently, the magnitude of the effects of a recession varies based on the economic policies that a country has adopted. For instance, Canada experienced slight effects from the global crisis as compared to the United States. This is because of the monetary policy employed by the country which entails spending within current resources. Central banks can make unlimited purchases of assets. However, the type of financial asset the banks decide to buy will determine how the respective country would be affected by a recession. The approach employed by a country from a fiscal ...

The exhaustion of Water

There is a high media concentration that is directed towards the threatening energy disaster and the hunt for a sustainable resolution to the problem. At the background of all these, there is a threatening disaster that is alarming. Each year, millions of people die across the world for lack of clean and fresh drinking water. Although the figures have been released to the public by the United Nation Humanitarian Agency, the media still diverted the attention and instead reported on the impending obsolescence of fossil fuels. The media has laid much attention on the challenges that are faced in ...

More than 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water. Nevertheless, only 3% of it comprises fresh water whereas close to 70% of it is stored in frozen glaciers or by other means not readily available for human consumption. Water is classified as a renewable resource since it is replenished constantly by the ecological system through hydrological cycle. This amount of fresh water in the planet is sufficient enough to meet the needs of over seven billion people of the world. However, more than a fifth of the world’s population currently does not have access to ...

In a neoliberal, globalized world, no country can exist on its ‘own’. In some way or the other every country is interlinked with the rest of the world be it its economy, its culture or politics. Neoliberalism, technology and increased globalization has transformed countries in a manner that was rapid and unprecedented. While some countries adapted themselves to the new ways of trading and conducting relations with other countries, some did not, resulting in the breakdown of their economies as well as their traditional systems of governance and living. The neoliberal policies originated in the developed countries of America ...

In a culture that in based on self-reliance, privatization, and a market-based mindset it is difficult for the current generation to view community engagement and public participation as a solution to today’s social challenges. The current leadership model, which is characterized by an authoritative leader and inactive followers, cannot be relied on to effectively solve global and local problems in the society. As the political leadership changes from individualism and privatization, the teaching and learning model in higher education should also move in the same direction. Currently, students are acquiring knowledge with the aim of being prepared for ...

Introduction Although the idea of freedom of speech seems to be something that is fundamentally important to the fabric of the United States, many people are unaware of the extent to which these freedoms can and often are restricted in everyday life. The article, written by Margaret Kohn (2004), discusses how “private space” as a concept in American society has changed the way that freedom of speech is understood and structured within the cultural confines of the community and society as a whole (Kohn, 2004, pp. 3-4). Although Kohn (2004) writes that most Americans believe that freedom of speech ...

Privatization is a process where the ownership of a company owned by government of a country is transferred to private owners. Over the years there have been continuous debates as to whether privatization really has positive impacts on the economic growth especially in developing countries (Crowder, 2012). Privatization is an essential tool for supporting economic growth since it creates necessary structural changes in all sectors and it institutes property rights. With these changes in a free market economy, private owners are able to make investment decisions based on their interest there allowing cheaper transactions that supports specialization leading to ...
