...Control of Juvenile Behavior An in-depth assessment of behavioral models reveals divergent ideologies and perspectives, of which none of them tends to provide a detailed explanation of how to control juvenile behavior. From this fact, among other things, it is clear that for one to understand juvenile behavior, consideration of the multidimensional and complexity of human behavior is vital. In many parts of the world, it is a common phenomenon that authorities use punishment to deter criminal acts, especially on juveniles. In some cases, the mechanism seems practical, as the incidence of juvenile delinquency has shrunk over time. However, in some cases, the efficacy of punishment in controlling juvenile behavior seems insignificant or less effective. Essentially, given the multidimensional behavior, Threat of Punishment alone may not defer juvenile behavior. Instead, one needs to assess the major causal agents that leads to a behavioral change to determine the most appropriate mechanism for dealing with specified incidents of delinquencies. Undeniably, to some extent, knowledge that one would meet a particular form of punishment may deter the individual from committing an offense. However, a close observation of their behavior, belief, and statistics on delinquency, indicate that severity and certainty play an important role. For example, when a juvenile knows that if he or she commits a particular offense, the authorities may lock him or her up in prison, there is a high possibility...

How will you know when you’ve succeeded? “I’ll know I’ve succeeded if the children participate and if they are able to repeat the colors”. 5. What concerns do you have? “We have some children who don’t know the colors. I’m also concerned about wandering children.” 6. What do you want me to observe, to pay particular attention to? “Pay attention to the children who are not paying attention. You can also pay attention to their different styles!” V. Record of Observations 1. How is the lesson beginning? Well, the circle time started off well as the children were sitting on the carpet with the two teachers. One teacher was teaching while the other was sitting with a child on her lap. As Ms. Rana was asking questions like what color can they see in the photos she was showing, the children were interactive and seemed engaged as they answered all the questions. She asked them to identify colors and some answered, “pink”, “blue” and “yellow”....

...Juvenile Delinquency Mary-Katherine Guzofski Liberty University Abstract An adolescent who engages in delinquent behavior is it a high risk of drug use and addiction, quitting school before graduation, future incarceration, and continued criminal behavior lasting into adulthood. Early intervention and prevention methods can divert juveniles from many of the adverse consequences that result from delinquency. Intervention is best done by parents in the home as they are the closest to the adolescent on a daily basis. Quality time and open communication are essential factures in the intervention and prevention of juvenile delinquency. Prevention stems from activities such as positive and interactive school attendance, and community involvement with a faith based church group. All of these methods are keys to prevent or minimize delinquent behavior. . Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency A large number of inmates in adult facilities have been living a delinquent / criminal lifestyle since they were juveniles, therefore it is safe to say that focusing on prevention will produce an overall reduction in crime. Juvenile delinquency is on the rise and this is cause for concern. More serious crimes are being committed by adolescents, and the younger they start the more likely they are to continue their involvement in crime. Whether a juvenile’s delinquent behavior actually begins in childhood, or is a characteristic that develops later on in the teenaged years, immediate intervention...

...Gender Identity Psy/340 Gender Identity Introduction The endocrine system is made up of several glands that secrete different hormones. These glands are the: Pituitary, Pineal, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Thymus, Pancreas, and Adrenal Glands as well as the ovaries and testes. All of these glands have a hand in generating hormones responsible for different behaviors either directly or indirectly. “Gender identity is how we feel about and express our gender and gender roles — clothing, behavior, and personal appearance. It is a feeling that we have as early as age two or three” ("Gender And Gender Identity", 2001). While there is much to say about the brain and its relationship to personal gender identity it is also very evident that the interaction between hormones and behavior is a deciding factor as well. Biological Factors & Gender Identity Our personal biology is what we are born with, things that are distinctive to us. Whether someone has red or blonde hair, brown or blue eyes, or light or dark skin is part of their biology. More specifically our sexual organs are perhaps the most distinctive parts of our biology because they set the groundwork for how we will be viewed by society, whether we personally feel that way or not. I say this because our sexual organs will inevitably determine our appearance. Having male organs causes boys/men secrete more androgens or male hormones (testosterone) than girls. Because they secrete a larger amount of these hormones they will...

...LCC Paper Child development is a very complex process that requires great attention and organization. This process has been researched by multiple theorists. Each theorist has a different idea on the stages of development. The two theorists that will be focused on in this paper are Erikson and Piaget. Erikson believes that there are five different stages of development which include; infant (birth-1yr), toddler (1-3yrs), preschooler (3-6yrs), school age (6-12yrs), and adolescent (12-18yrs). Piaget on the other hand believed that there was only four different stages of development which include; infant (birth-2yrs), toddler (2-7yrs), preschooler (7-11yrs), and school-age (11-adulthood). Erikson labels each of his stages differently. The infant stage is labeled trust vs. mistrust and states that this is when the child develops a basic trust in the mothering figure. The toddler stage is labeled as autonomy vs. shame and doubt and this is when the child gains some self control and independence within the environment. The preschool stage is labeled as initiative vs. guilt and this is when the child develops a sense of purpose and ability to initiate and direct their own activities. The School-age stage is known as industry vs. inferiority which means that the child achieves a sense of self confidence by learning, competing, performing successfully and achieving recognition. Lastly adolescence is labeled as identity vs. role confusion and this is when the child integrates the...

...libidinal drive. Sigmund Freud proposed that if the child experienced sexual frustration in relation to any psychosexual developmental stage, he or she would experience anxiety that would persist into adulthood as a neurosis, a functional mental disorder.[1][2] Contents [hide] 1 Background 2 Freudian psychosexual development 2.1 Oral stage 2.2 Anal stage 2.3 Phallic stage 2.4 Latency stage 2.5 Genital stage 3 Criticisms 3.1 Scientific 3.2 Feminist 3.3 Anthropologic 4 Medical sexological model 5 See also 6 References Background[edit] The neurologist Sigmund Freud, c. 1921. Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) observed that during the predictable stages of early childhood development, the child's behavior is oriented towards certain parts of his or her body, e.g. the mouth during breast-feeding, the anus during toilet-training. He argued that adult neurosis (functional mental disorder) often is rooted in childhood sexuality, and consequently suggested that neurotic adult behaviors are manifestations of childhood sexual fantasy and desire. That is because human beings are born "polymorphous perverse", infants can derive sexual pleasure from any part of their bodies, and that socialization directs the instinctual libidinal drives into adult heterosexuality.[3] Given the predictable timeline of childhood behavior, he proposed "libido development" as a model of normal childhood sexual development, wherein the child progresses through five psychosexual stages – the...

...level. For example the husband is a choir master of the Parish and the wife is a member of the dancers. Even though at first the union of these two was through eloping , this was followed by a customary marriage which was later cemented by a Church wedding. The husband works as a receptionist at one of the companies in town, and the wife supplement the family income through vending. Because of the devotion the two have for Church activities although they are young their marriage has become one of the model marriage to marvel at. (2) The family life cycle model according to Carter and McGoldrick Stage one: unattached young adult This is the first stage where the young person embarks on a life journey to be an autonomous being. If the child was nurtured and brought up in a good way he/she will grow up to be a good trustworthy young adult. We should bear in mind that this young adult is between two families, the one of his or her origin and the...

...Children Psychopaths In 1979, sixteen-year-old Brenda Spencer received a rifle for her birthday. She used it to shoot kids at an elementary school near her San Diego home, wounding nine and killing two. A reporter asked her later why she had done it. Her answer: "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day." In 1993, two bodies were found on a country road in Ellis County, Texas. One was male, one female. The boy, 14, had been shot, but the 13-year-old girl had been stripped, raped, and dismembered. Her head and hands were missing. The killer turned out to be Jason Massey, who had decided he was going to become the worst serial killer that Texas had ever seen. He tortured animals, stalked another young woman, and revered killers like Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, and Henry Lee Lucas. He was nine years old when he killed his first cat. He added dozens more over the years, along with dogs and even six cows. He had a long list of potential victims and his diaries were filled with fantasies of rape, torture, and cannibalism of female victims. He was a loner who believed he served a "master" who gave him knowledge and power. He was obsessed with bringing girls under his control and having their dead bodies in his possession. Nine-year-old Jeffrey Bailey, Jr. pushed a three-year-old friend into the deep part of a motel pool in Florida in 1986. He wanted to see someone drown. As the boy sank to the bottom, Jeffrey pulled up a chair to watch. When it was finished, he went home....

...Children shape their world as it shapes them? * Cross-cultural research enables us to determine which aspects of development are universal and which are culturally influenced? * An experiment is the most definitive way to demonstrate that one event causes another? * The results of laboratory experiments may be less applicable to real life than experiments carried out in a home, school, or public setting? These are just a few of the interesting and important topics we will cover in this chapter. Here, we present an overview both of major theories of human development and of research methods used to study it. In the first part of the chapter, we explore major issues and theoretical perspectives that underlie much research in child development. In the remainder of the chapter, we look at how researchers gather and assess information so that, as you read further in this book, you will be better able to judge whether research findings and conclu- Perspective 1: Psychoanalytic Perspective 2: Learning Perspective 3: Cognitive Perspective 4: Contextual Perspective 5:...

...INTRODUCTION Children today face a lot of challenges that were not present, or maybe not realized, years ago. It seems that children are not allowed to be children very long. Society today accelerates the growing process; and our children are suffering the consequences of dealing with adult issues far too early in life. It also seems that some parents are not aware that while allowing the child to live as an adult, experiencing adult things rob them of their natural childhood development. There are many reasons why our children are growing up so fast, but in most cases the parents must take the blame. Maybe they are using the example by which they were raised; maybe they feel that they should just be friends with their children, or maybe they are too young themselves and don’t know how to raise children. Whatever the reason, the children are the ones suffering. We have a God given privilege to raise our children and it comes with responsibility. God expresses in Proverbs 22:6 “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.” (NLT). The responsibility of a parent is to properly direct their children in a lifestyle that will lead them to mature adulthood. And if the raising of your children is proper and productive, they will retain the principles in their later years. There are several areas that must be addressed when our goal is “Raising Well-Rounded Children”. Those areas will be address in this paper. Although this information is...
