...Pre-court measure There are 2 pre-court measures that are given to young people before they get taken to court, they want to help give the youths a chance to change their ways. The 2 measures are Reprimand and a Final warning. A reprimand is a verbal warning given to the youth by a police officer. The child may then be sent off to a youth offending team to complete voluntary work also known as community service, this will help to teach the youth a lesson not to punish them. A final warning is given to a child who admits that they are wrong in the offence they have performed. The child must then be assessed by a series of activities to help see the causes of their offending. Anti-social measures ASBO’s (anti-social behaviour orders) and ABA’s (Acceptable behaviour agreements) are given out to help prevent anti-social behaviour from happening. An ASBO helps within the act of preventing an individual from committing the offence again, it can also stop the youth from being allowed to enter certain areas to help protect the community. An ASBO can be given to any child aged 10 years and over, its intention is not to punish the individual but it must be put in place to let them know of their wrong doings. An ABA is a written agreement which states that the person must agree to not act in a certain manner that will be classed as anti-social behaviour. It is an alternative to an ASBO and is put in place when the person issuing the ABA feels as if an ASBO isn’t suitable for the situation...

...age that work in the community is a viable alternative to custodial sentences for minor offences and, perhaps, in cases where there are mitigating factors. In this essay, I attempt to explain when I believe these community service orders should be made. The first set of circumstances when community work is the appropriate sanction is for less serious offences when the offender shows remorse for his actions. Part of the reason for this is that it may be wrong to take away someone’s livelihood by sending them to prison, simply because they have written graffiti on a wall. Likewise, there is a significant danger that these minor offenders would become hardened criminals if they spent time with career criminals in prison. I would emphasise, however, that it should be a condition that the criminal regrets his actions and it is only appropriate for first time offenders. The other major instance when there is a strong argument to order people to work in the community is when their crimes are unlikely to be repeated. For example, someone who has caused an accident and been caught driving when drunk may not be sent to prison if they were driving their pregnant wife to hospital. In this case, it seems much better if they are ordered to help the community in some way such as working in a shelter for the homeless. In summary, prison is in my view not always the best sanction and there are certain circumstances when non-custodial sentences may be both more effective...

On Friday, September 22, two days before my birthday, I am sitting in my dark, depressing office staring at all the articles I have to read. My aunt is trying to help me with this money problem so she hired me to help her with the articles. If you think no one reads the newspaper anymore, you are wrong! When it is New York Time’s newspaper, only everyone wants to be heard. I am not a fan of reading books, unless it is Clifford. I am the girl who would rather experience events than read about them.

My birthday is tomorrow, so after work I am going to find an outfit for tonight’s dinner. Before the dinner, I go to the news office and find a letter on my desk.

...worry about the relationship between people, simple food for every meal Possible idea for contrasting: complex relationship to people versus simple relationship to people, the convenience life versus isolated life on the mountain, the irregular and regular work and rest life Text: Everyone has her own image to the city life and the country life; therefore I have my own idea to these two kinds of life style. To me the city life is quite different to the country life, and the comparison sources are my life experience and my memory. I lived with my grand parents in the country in my childhood; after I finished my first year in the elementary school, I came to live with my parents in the Taipei County. From then on, I go back to my grandparents’ old house when it is summer or winter vacation. Under this situation, the differences between the city life and the country life becomes evidently. The first difference in these two different life styles one can figure out easily is the different level of regularity of work and rest. As a dweller in the city, I always have the hope to have more than 24 hours a day; the limit of time effects me cortically. Thus, burning the night oil is what I usually....

...The poem “Snapping Beans” by Lisa Parker is about a granddaughter who goes from a tradition southern life up to a north city life and fears telling her religious grandmother that she has changed. Through thoughts and emotions, Parker shows the fear the teenager faces when trying to tell her grandmother. Although the granddaughter doesn’t want the grandmother to know, the grandmother has a secret that is revealed at the end of the poem. The granddaughter is back home from her school up North which implies she is from the south. In the southern area many people based their life off of tradition. One of the traditional things that is shown in the poem is “snapping beans”. The grandmother and the granddaughter are snapping beans while sitting on “splintering slats of the porchswing”. The description of the seat signifies how old it is and how long they have been doing the tradition. While they are there the grandmother hummed “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”. The song implies that the grandmother is a religious women and being religious tends to cause people to have certain beliefs and views on life. When the grandmother stopped humming the granddaughter felt “the soft gray of her stare against the side of my face”. The gray of her stare implies that the grandmother had a question that she wasn’t sure if she wanted the answer to. The color gray represents the grandmothers frozen like body, as if she was holding back when she asked “How’s school a-goin”. Not only was the grandmother...

...EN1320 Composition I | Christmas in Colorado | Module 4 Essay: Write a Memoir | | Jeff Stucker | 4/29/2014 | | Last year my family and I decided to do something different for Christmas and go to Gunnison, Colorado to go skiing for a family Christmas trip. This would include me, my brother, my mom, my dad, and my grandparents. I was so excited ever since I had heard the news in October. I had only been to Colorado in the summer before and I had never spent Christmas away from home before. My grandparents had retired to their summer home in Colorado the year before to live full time. My story begins at the threshold of my trip the night before we left for Colorado. We were all at my house so we could open our presents from each other, but my brother and I would not open our presents from our parents until Christmas morning in Gunnison even though we had opened the presents from the rest of our family that night. This was one of my favorite parts of Christmas, opening presents. I got a lot of cool stuff including a new be spread, a new bed comforter, some new books, some new VHS tapes and a lot more. Finally, it was time for the big present which was from my dad. It was huge! My mind raced with ideas of what it could have been. But to give me and my brother a hint of what it was, they brought us out a smaller present. It was an Atari controller! So that must have meant…yes! It was an Atari 2600! After that, my brother and I decided to try it out and then we...

...Michaela Sweat April 23, 2013 2nd Period- English 11 Writing assignment 2- Who is your hero? Who is my hero? Well, a lot of people would say our troops. They are our hero, they fight for us every day. They fight for us to be able to say what we want, bare arms, not say a word, etc. Therefore, aren’t they our hero? Wait no, you said MY hero. Well I have a couple of heroes… but the most important, most significant hero in my life is this guy named John Carson. John Carson is my hero. He is my grandfather; but really he is my dad. The first reason he is my hero is because he saved me from a life that would probably not been so good. I met him when I was 2 years old. When I was about 5 years old my mom gave me to my grandparents; John and Rita Carson. He took me and my brother in. Which is about 14 years (this year). Me and my brother gave him about 573857837847258728 grey hairs since he got us, but he hasn’t stopped loving us, he has never left us, and he has never gave up. Papaw is my name for him. Papaw is my hero because I can walk up to him, crying or upset, and ask for a hug. And he will give me a hug. This makes him a hero to me because I don’t have a dad. He is my dad. So what this means to me, is that there is a man in my life who will be there for me when I’m upset about whatever it may be, he doesn’t care what the reason may be. He will comfort me. He will make me feel better. Sometimes that is what you need in your life, you don’t need to go to your mom, or...

She is from a small town, and she has come home to participate in her grandmother’s funeral, even though she now lives in a big city on the east coast.

...Each day, I live my life cherishing the moments I share with the people I love because I never know when something can happen to them. If all of a sudden, something tragic happens to a person you care about, all that is left are the memories you had with them and these reminiscences stay with you forever. On the other hand, what can you do if someone that was supposed to be an important part of your life passes away before you even got a chance to build memories with him? If I was given an opportunity to travel back in time to any time period or to witness any event, I would journey to Hong Kong, China during the 1980s because that was the time when my paternal grandfather was healthiest, blissful and alive. When I was a year old, my grandfather died of a lung infection. Nothing would be better than having a chance to get to know my grandpa. While my grandfather was alive, I only spent about a month with him because that’s how long he stayed during his trip here in the United States. Afterwards, he went back to China, where shortly afterward, he passed away. Since my grandfather’s death, I have always felt that I was deprived of the opportunity to know him. I have always wondered what kind of person my grandfather was. Because my parents have a hard time talking about my grandfather, so many questions pop into my mind. Have I acquired any of his personality traits or do I show any resemblance to him? Did my grandfather value education as much as I do? During my voyage back...

...The Importance of a Grandmother’s Love Many grandmothers are important people because many times they give love to their family. Their love can make their family comfortable, make life easier, and unite family members. Patricia Hampl, “Grandmother’s Sunday Dinner,” describes how her grandmother ruled over her family with her authoritative personality. And also, Hampl’s grandmother made her family members united with her professional cooking skills. Similar to Hampl’s grandmother, my grandmother rules over my family. My grandmother’s personality is not authoritative, and her cooking skills are not good compared to Hampl’s grandmother. However, her love sill makes out family united. Although both grandmothers have different personalities and cooking skills, they still make their families become one. Hampl describes her Sunday dinner with her family, and she describes her good memories at her grandmother’s house. Hampl’s entire family often gathered on Sundays at the Grandmother’s house (Beardslee 100). Hampl’s grandmother’s cooking skills were really professional because she had worked in the house of Justice Butler for many years (100). Because Hampl’s grandmother was so good at cooking, she always made many different kinds of meal for her children. Hampl’s grandmother not only was good at cooking but cooking was also a passion in her life (99). Hampl’s grandmother loved to feed her family, and she always asked her children to eat more: “She flew between her chair...

Committing the names of his nine children’s offspring is understandably a tedious task. “Tell me about Sirhind, nana,” I ask. He smiles, a maze of crow’s feet forming at the edge of his cataract-inflicted eyes. “I went there last night.” My nana’s ‘dreams’ take him to Sirhind Shareef, a place he calls home. Sirhind (the popular name of Fatehgarh Sahib), where there is a shrine of Shaikh Ahmad Mujaddid Alf-i-Sani, was situated in Patiala state, a region between Ludhiana and Ambala Districts. It was the head-quarter of the province under Mughal rule. My nana has never demanded anything from his children. But he asks them to take him to Sirhind, a word he speaks with such longing and love that every syllable seems covered in honey. Perhaps that is why he has started hallucinating. His desire to re-visit Sirhind is so strong, the place where his father had slapped a Sikh who tried to stop a Shia procession and where he had shared loaves covered in ghee with his father’s Hindu business partners. Every night, nana claims that ‘his friends’ in his dreams take him across the border to his home, where he was born in the year 1935. My nana is Chaudhry Muhammad Bashir, one of the most capable and eminent lawyers in Faisalabad. His grandfather...
