...Impact of Theory on Social Policy CRJS 4203-2 Mrs. Teresa Call June 24, 2012 Feminist Theories The theory that I chose was the Feminist Theory. “The feminist theory in the realm of criminal justice considers the level of inequality prevalent within this social organization that operates from a predominantly masculine’s perspective. “Feminist theories explain criminal justice decisions as reflecting this male dominance and functioning to support patriarchy by discriminating against women and reinforcing traditional female sex and family roles” (Akers & Sellers, 2009, p. 268). “Conflict Theories are Theories that focus on the conflict between various interests within a society. These theories focus on power struggles and typically view the less fortunate and less powerful as victims. They see crime victims as exploited and as the prey of the strong and powerful. Changes in laws and economic conditions are often the remedies they seek for victims.” (Hutton, 2009) The feminist perspective will integrate gender into the equation as a means to explain the occurrence of crime. According to Dr. Erica Hutton, who is a full time Professor and Forensic Psychologist in Angola, Indiana, “Effective policy implications include approaching the criminal justice system from an angle that examines the gender inequalities within sentencing and treatment as well as within the human resource aspects of hiring candidates that are not masculine within a predominantly...

Provide examples from your persuasive essay of one informative statement, one explanatory statement, and one persuasive statement (all areas in green should be complete before submitting). Concept Informative Explanatory Persuasive Baseball (Example) Baseball is a sport. In baseball, infielders should creep toward the batter during the pitch because it is easier to react when in motion. Quality pitchers are more important than power hitters, because keeping runs off the board could give the pitcher’s team more opportunity win.

...My school and I went to a play called Among the Shadows. It was about human trafficking and slavery. There are more than 20 million victims of human trafficking around the world. The play I saw showed a dance performance of human trafficking and slavery. President Obama gave a speech in 2012 showing how this is still a problem today. He says human trafficking is modern slavery. Little kids are being kidnapped around the world. According to Obama some are forced to be child soldiers, some are in prison and turned into sex slaves. Some of this is even happening in the United States. Among the Shadows started with a girl, and her parents did not care about her. All they wanted to do was drink and party. She felt like no one loved or cared...

...Human trafficking, often regarded as the modern-day form of slavery, is a rampant widespread issue. It entails the illegal selling and trading of humans into forced labor or sex work. In the U.S., in particular, the global slavery index estimates fifty-seven thousand and seven hundred individuals enslaved with a majority being under eighteen. The top three categories of trafficking are sex, both sex and labor, and labor alone (Top 3 Types of Trafficking in 2017). In 2000 the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act was passed in order to offer more protection and resources to the victims of trafficking and to raise awareness and prevention it was also the first federal law regarding the matter. Since 2000 the Victims of Trafficking...

...The CIA estimated an average of 1,000,000 slaves just in America today. (10 Shocking...) A large portion of these cases go unnoticed by officials. There are slaves in American industries, the question is if we are going to do something about it. We have the opportunity to set captives free, let us take the chance, become informed, and inform others. This issue can’t go unnoticed any longer. Many of the slaves supporting American industry and business are the ones who make out every day products. Why are Wal-Mart’s prices better? And Costco’s items cheaper? The answer is simply because they don’t have to pay their workers, so they can charge the customer less. Wal-Mart, Costco, Kmart, Safeway, Target (Better World Shopper), and many others are guilty of abusing and underpaying (or not paying at all) human beings. Is it really worth it? Is a better price worth the enslavement of millions of human beings? I think we can all say that no, it’s not. There is an answer to this solution, though. We simply need to stop kindling the flame. If we stop buying from these big businesses, they start to lose money and they won’t get it back until they change their corrupt practices. In addition, there are slaves working in small businesses. One story is of a teen aged girl who was told that by selling magazines, she could travel, and make money doing it. She went along. They ended up drugging her, beating her, and keeping her money. (Former Agent Stories) She was eventually able to run...

...Michelle Speed Sex Exploitation/Human Trafficking Speech Mr. Cox P4 11/8/15 "They forced me to sleep with as many as 50 customers a day. I had to give [the pimp] all my money. If I did not [earn a set amount] they punished me by removing my clothes and beating me with a stick until I fainted, electrocuting me, cutting me.", says a sex trafficking survivor from Cambodia according to equalitynow.org The 13th Amendment states," Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist in the United States, or any other place subject to jurisdiction.", Though this amendment is an important one, this basic right to freedom is still violated by so many today. Human trafficking is the trading or transporting of people for the purpose of work. This modern day slavery brings just about thirty-two billion dollars annually. Very few people realize that this occurs right in front of us everyday. So many young people are taken from their average lives and forced into slavery for sexual purposes. Girls and women make up ninty-eight percent of sex exploitation in human trafficking alone. Before, victims were teens left alone or run aways, now most victims are from a “caring” family who happened to be pulled in by an experienced predator. ABC news quotes FBI Deputy Assistant Director, Chip Burrus, “These predators are particularly adept at reading children, at reading kids, and knowing what their vulnerabilities...

...Human Dignity without a Price Tag Campaign The Need There is no uniform definition of human trafficking and no consent regarding aspects that this problem entails. The United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children defines human trafficking as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. The U.S. Department of State estimates that about 600,000 to 800,000 people, mostly women and children, are trafficked across national borders annually. If trafficking within a country’s borders is included, this figure drastically increases to approximately 2 to 4 million people, according to official U.S. estimates. Furthermore, it is estimated that 17,500 to 20,000 victims are trafficked into the U.S. annually, with Florida receiving a high percentage of those victims. Trafficked victims generally tend to flow from less developed countries to more industrialized nations to neighboring countries with higher standards of living. The impact of modern-day slavery goes beyond the individual victims; it undermines the health, safety and security of all nations it touches. It is currently...

...prostitution, (child) pornography, exposure, incest or other sexually exploitative activities. Both girls and boys may be prostituted. Some children have had hundreds of sex partners. They usually continue a life of prostitution into adulthood. Federal laws in the United States, as well as laws in every state, ban child prostitution. In the United States, any person who knowingly transports any child under the age of 18 years in interstate or foreign commerce or in any commonwealth, territory or possession of the United States, with the intent that the individual engage in prostitution or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, or attempts to do so, may be fined or imprisoned. In some states, such as Maine and Wisconsin, prostituting one's child is specific grounds for the termination of parental rights. (In other states, parental rights may be terminated for sexual abuse, abandonment and other crimes; thus, in effect, it is likely that parents in every state could lose their parental rights for prostituting their children.) Internationally, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child prohibits child prostitution. (The United States is not yet a signatory to this UN Convention.) Organizations such as End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking...

...Governments Worldwide Must Place More Focus On Human Trafficking A collection of current articles regarding human trafficking has been collected throughout this semester. The news reports vary greatly in geographic location but the underlying message that these events share is unified and clear. Governments worldwide must create specialized agencies, victim relief units, and allocate more funds towards the understanding and prevention of this growing crime. Due to the complexity of human trafficking, non-traditional law enforcement must be used. As stated in several of the articles gathered, a growing need for information sharing between organizations has become necessary. With enhanced human trafficking policies and implementation; accurate crime statistics can be gathered, victims can be identified, perpetrators can be prosecuted, and organized crime patterns can be seen. This paper will be broken down into several components that cover this multi-faceted, illegal industry. First, a description and definition of human trafficking will be given. The current prevention methods will follow, including rough statistics gathered around the world. Next, I will outline the difficulties that law enforcement encounter with human trafficking. The strategies for improvement will make up the bulk of the paper. Human trafficking has been deemed the 21st century slave trade. Inadequate laws against trafficking and police negligence have allowed for this human rights violation...

...co-founder of Prajwala and anti-trafficking crusader Sunitha Krishnan uses ethos and logos appeals but she mostly uses pathos in her speech. Sunitha uses pathos through the descriptions of how these women and children are treated, how many of them ended up in this situation, and how they are treated once they get out. Firstly, she talks of the horrific ways in which these people are treated. In one particular instance she speaks of a young girl named Shaheen. Sunitha describes what happened to Shaheen as follows, “Shaheen's background I don't even know. We found her in a railway track, raped by many, many men, I don't know many. But the indications of that on her body was that her intestine was outside her body. And when we took her to the hospital she needed 32 stitches to put back her intestine into her body. We still don't know who her parents are, who she is. All we know is that hundreds of men had used her brutally.” One shutters to think how someone could do this to another human being. Sunitha continues on to tell of the countless others who are brutally victimized through slave trafficking. The ways they end up in these situations are just as horrible. She uses both logos and pathos to describe this. She uses logos to point out how many of these people have no choice as this is there only means of providing for themselves and their families. The worst of it however is that, sadly, many of these women are often sold into sex slavery not by strangers...
