Almost certainly there are far more ...

Status offenses entail conduct that is not a crime when it is committed by an adult, but it is a violation of the law if a minor commits them. Some of the examples of status offenses include skipping school, consumption of alcohol, running ways, violating curfew, as well as being beyond parents’ control. If the status offenses were determined according to social rather than the legal definition, there could be a lot of statistical changes in delinquency. It is worth nothing that the delinquency statistics will reduce due to the social view of some of the status offenses.

Social views of status offenses ...

The Salem Witch Trials were a strange and defining time in American history, as well as religious history. Formal education as we see it today was scarce.

As individuals were accused of being witches, paranoia spread and the villagers began to fear that witchcraft was real, but also that they would be accused and hanged if ...
