They are strip of their rights to develop and maintain a life of dignity to mature uneducated and unemployed. Rose from desperation and destitution these children are becoming criminals. Our country where majority of underprivileged remains unaddressed, many become breeding grounds for young offenders. The main alibi is their poverty and some are forced to break the law primarily to survive.

HLAF specifically...

...Nanotechnology and Medicine There was a comic book character by the name of Swamp Thing that came out in the early 1970’s. The comic book became so popular a movie was made in 1982. The character (Alex Holsen) was originally a scientist that specialized in botany. Holsen was researching on how to rejuvenating limbs in humans using plant forms. The scientists arch enemy (Dr. Arcane) set off a bomb in Alex Holsen’s lab after stealing the formula to rejuvenate limbs. Unfortunately, the scientist was still in the laboratory when the explosion occurred, and was blown free of the lab into the swamp. A metamorphism took place while Holsen was down in the swamp, and when he emerged, he became a super plant monster known as the Swamp Thing. The parts on him that were destroyed in the explosion were now regenerated, reformed, and much stronger than his original self A large green muscle bound monster with algae grown into his skin. Nanotechnology fits somewhat into a category like this, but it's not all hype and science fiction the way television and the Hollywood scene have tried to portray it. If that were the case, we'd all be bionic men and women. Nanotechnology works at a small scale, meaning that it only uses a very small miscue that are no more than a human hair's width. It's already been found to be used in some items such as health and beauty products. Medicine is found to be the area that holds the most promising future for the field of nano technology...

...Alex Cecola Professor Carrick Writing 140 64595 Assignment #1 January 30, 2012 Bigger Than Life…Try Big Freedia Scientifically, humans have been defined as having opposable thumbs, higher thinking, having dominion over earth, etc. But what defines one human before another? What makes one human more interesting and marketable compared to the next? A human being can be “intersectionally” classified by race and class just based off gender. Race and class are not only verifications justified on a driver’s license and country club application background checks, but actually form and shape gender roles even in today’s so called “equal rights” society. One of the most intriguing characters making headlines lately is a, by sex, a male and yet is referred to as a “her” (Jonathan). Big Freedia comes from the musically established city of New Orleans where new genres of music seem to get pumped out by the decade. Big Freedia has taken full advantage of her city and the new music. Her genre of music can be labeled under “Sissy Bounce” subgenre. This type of music is an energetic upbeat twist off from the standard hip-hop music. This genre known as bounce was not started by Big Freedia, and she admits it and says she is just the next artist hoping to put bounce music on the map. (Jonathan) Upfront, Big Freedia is a taller rather larger man, standing at six feet and two inches tall. She dresses very fashionably yet portrays a more masculine look compared to a feminine one. Her...

...Combating Juvenile Delinquency Inez Randall-Scott Professor Ryan Gallagher Juvenile Delinquency and Justice November 18, 2015 Combating Juvenile Delinquency Over the last several years, Texas juvenile incarceration and crime rates have substantially declined. In 2006, there were 4,800 juveniles at Texas Youth Commission facilities, (Marc Levin, 2010) nearly all of whom were housed in large institutions until an abuse scandal surfaced and redirected more youths into community-based juvenile probation programs. As of recently, and since redirecting to these programs, juvenile incarceration and crimes declined to 2,259 in 2014. (Marc Levin, 2010). Many people think of the juvenile justice system as a penal system similar to that of adults, but for children. While there are similarities between the two, there are also differences. The adult system focuses on public safety and punishment for criminal conduct. The juvenile correctional system places an emphasis on rehabilitation. Even when it is necessary to incarcerate youths, the setting is not punitive but rather is protective and designed to educate youths about discipline, values, and work ethics therefore guiding them towards becoming productive citizens. In the state of Texas, The Dallas County Juvenile Department believes that for certain youth’s, treatment rather than punishment alone is the most effective strategy in avoiding future involvement with the juvenile justice system. The decline in juvenile incarceration...

...29, 2012 In this paper I will be discussing the article “Study of delinquent, diverted, and high-risk adolescent girls: Implications for mental health intervention”. I will start by giving a brief summary of the article I have chosen. Followed by discussing the type of article this is and my conclusion I have drawn form the information found in this article. Lastly I will discuss how this article fits into our sociology class as well as how this article differs from non-scholarly periodicals The article begins by describing the issue of increasing numbers of adolescent girls being entered into our nation’s juvenile judicial system. The study aims to assess the most common risk factors that are affecting adolescent girls being entered into the juvenile judicial system. It also aims to find the effectiveness of the prevention factors in place to keep adolescents out of the system. For the study a survey was administered over the course of nine months to a hundred and fifty-nine adolescent girls. These adolescent girls were broken into three categories delinquent, diverted and high-risk. Delinquent girls are the girls that have been entered in the juvenile justice system in some form ranging from home care to a penitentiary. The diverted girls group consists of girls that have engaged in behaviors that have brought them to the attention of the juvenile justice system but instead of being entered into the judicial system were referred to some form of community-based services...

...One mistake should not define a person’s life. Especially not the mistake of an adolescent, which is why when they commit a crime they should not be sent to adult prisons. In an adult prison, juveniles get locked away and aren’t given the time of day. The system is wrong in doing so because in an attempt to get rid of the problem they’re ignoring the real problem. The real problem is that young offenders often come from abusive homes or violent neighborhoods and are neglected instead of receiving the help they really need. Adult prisons aren’t meant to house or help adolescents the way that a juvenile facility would. Dayana Morales from the Huffington Post writes, “Adult facilities offer some overlapping resources, but are targeted at older...

...need to reduce juvenile delinquency. It will consider ways to help reduce juvenile delinquency and why it is so important. This paper will give the reader insight about what needs to happen in order to help juveniles be successful and stay out of the juvenile justice system. There will be key agreements that will require the reader’s attention. Effective Ways to Reduce Juvenile Delinquency A 16-year-old teenager was arrested after a veteran police officer was gunned down in St. Petersburg, Florida. (Fox News, 2011). According to an article by the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) called “Punishing Teen Criminal Like Criminals,” “juveniles were accounting for more than 500,000 serious violent crimes by 1984.” It is expected that while the adults committing homicides is to decline almost by twenty percent the juveniles committing homicides will increase by almost one-fourth. How can the American society mitigate the occurrences of juvenile delinquency? Many approaches have been taken to institutionalize juvenile delinquents and rehabilitate them. As the Mayor of St. Petersburg, Bill Foster said “we as a community need to standup and do a better job.” These occurrences will not stop unless there is a plan and execution established to make it happen. That is why juvenile delinquency must be tackled through the use of prevention programs, recreational programs, and educational programs. To start off, there needs to be approaches towards more juvenile prevention programs...

...The idea of female delinquency has been long ignored and focused solely on male counterparts as juvenile offenders when statistically, we see a rise in female offenders when the male offenders leveled off. Many criminology theories researched young males and excluded females due to assumptions which has now caused programs for prevention and intervention male based. The primitive years of criminology research was used for male juveniles and discarded females leaving a scarce amount of theories to consider for females. As we see the numbers grow, some speculate on the rise if it is due to behavioral changes or policing shifts. Obviously, we notice a need to consider girl delinquency in the justice system to fully understand and develop policies as well as theories. Without considering females in research, we may see a ripple effect; “heavily impacted women, particularly women of color, might well be visited upon their younger sisters unless a vigorous campaign of education and advocacy is not launched” (P.119)....

...the friend is also looking through the kitchen drawer. John states he is looking for a pad to leave our son a note. On the kitchen counter I notice a lock pick, and some jewelry from my bedroom drawer. The scent of marijuana permeates the air. The dilemma that must be addressed is do I tell John to leave immediately, call John’s parents, tell our son and my husband or call the police to our home. Our young people often find themselves faced with delinquent or criminal behavior as they go from childhood to adulthood. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) compiles arrest information provided by law enforcement agencies each year and creates reports examining the trends, rates and, statistics of juvenile criminal activity. More than half of youth arrests are for assault, drug abuse, and disorderly conduct, and curfew violations. Theft was the highest reported crime of young people getting arrested. In 1999, “2,468,800 juvenile arrests were recorded; of these arrests, 380,500 were for theft. In 2000, 2,369,400 arrests were recorded; of these, 363,500 were for theft. Drug abuse violations accounted for 198,400 of the 1999 arrests, and 203,900 of the 2000 arrests. Violent crime accounted for 103,900 of the 1999 arrests and 98,900 of the 2000 arrests. Arrest rates dropped across the board 5% between 1999 and 2000” (Lawyer Shop, 2010) More countries other than developed nations are facing similar situations; “in developing countries there are new pressures...

...Assessment Analysis The name of the article is Performance Assessment in Juvenile Correction Education Program. It was published on March 2002 by the Journal of Correctional Education, written by Sheryl Feinstein, an Associate Professor at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The study was conducted to explore and describe the impact of performance assessments, on students on an adjudicated status. These assessments were administered in correctional facilities by a social studies teacher and a math teacher. In identifying the problem, the basic question asked in the study was if students in correctional facilities were capable of succeeding at performance assessments. According to this article, there is a relationship between education and re-imprisonment of offenders. It appears that more serious offenses are committed by individuals with lesser basic skills such as phonics, spelling and math. In addition the study looks into the need for the ability to cope and resolve problems in the outside world. The performance assessment utilized in the study, focused on the areas of geography and math. Sample and qualitative methods were used in the study. The sample group encompassed 20 incarcerated students ranging in ages from 12 to 18 years of age. In addition, they used observation and interviews containing 10 open-ended questions. Depending on their response, the juveniles were asked follow up questions. This type of approach could hinder the results as...
