Recommended: Bad Gangs And Its Effect

I do believe the government must take steps to remove small children from gang infested neighborhoods, and has an obligation to reduce the chances of them becoming victims; due to violence or long-term exposure to violence. “The word victim has been used to describe essentially any person subjected to injurious circumstance beyond their control or provocation” (Harmening, 2014, Pg 141). According to this definition, victims’ circumstances are beyond their control, an example of this is rape. Rape is define as a sexual assault against the victims will or control, when they do not want the act to occurred against them. Government must take a serious look at gang infested neighborhoods, because long-term exposure to violence can lead to rape trauma

    Trafficking Victims Protection Act clearly defines the terms, communities have struggled in how to address those victims in relation to immunity. According to Dysart (2014), those with the perspective that children who are prostituted are delinquent will inadvertently re-victimize, which is not congruent with federal and state laws that have been put into place to offer protections.

  • Crime in New Orleans

    608 Words  | 2 Pages

    New Orleans has always been a hotspot for crimes, historically having one of the highest murder rates in the country. New Orleans prolific crimes can be traced back to the 19th century, when New Orleans was expanding its ports and commerce; groups fought for power to control the revenue streams. Ultimately, organized crime groups and mafia families fought for control - of ports, types of commerce and groups of workers they could control. These fights led to assassinations, murder, and other crimes that continue to this day. The police lost control - they would not step in to interfere with the illegal activities because either they were paid off by the criminals or feared they would be killed by the mafia. The lack of police intervention caused private citizens to step in, creating lynch mobs to tackle crime and take out criminals.

  • Child Welfare System Case Study

    1752 Words  | 4 Pages

    The child welfare system originated with the goals that social workers would try and alleviate poverty and its impact; however, as the years have passed, the child welfare system turned into a child protection system directed toward investigating abuse and neglect, and removing children from families and placing them in foster care, and is no longer prepared to assist in resolving the problems of child poverty (Lindsey, 2004). A child welfare system has been developed around the residual approach, which demands that aid should be given only after the family is in crisis or other support groups have failed to meet a child’s minimal needs. However, over the years, there have been different focuses for the child welfare system, whether it involved addressing the issue of abandoned and orphaned children or the increased demand for child protection, resulting in the decrease of child welfare services (Lindsey, 2004). Police are sometimes stereotyped to be rugged, single-minded enforcers who are insensitive to families in their most vulnerable state (Cross, Finkelhor, Ormrod, 2005).

These areas are the most populated, so that means that within these areas are the most people there to be influenced by the crimes committed by fellow people. In Male's reading he shows statistics that prove the fact that once the poverty factor is taken away then teen violence disappears. He later adds, “That if America wants to rid of juvenile violence than serious consideration needs to be given to the societally inflicted violence of raising three to 10 times more youth in poverty than other Western nations.” (Males p386)

    Give the kids and teens after-school programs such as sports and mentoring programs. The government should not waste money funding useless laws, instead it should build more boys and girls clubs in the neighborhoods where gangs are likely appearing to organize. Most people who join a gang are just looking for a sense of belonging. These programs will show them they are smart and talented. It is that sense of belonging when they’re in an after-school group.

MW Klein, a gang researcher, says that gangs are an aggregation of youths who perceive themselves as distinct, and that are viewed as distinct by the community. Klein also states that the gangs call forth a consistently negative image of themselves through their actions (Klein). To those involved in gangs however, gang membership provided a youth means of attempting to consolidate their gender identities (Douglas). Most of the early American street gangs have historically been ethnically based. Early gangs were mainly Irish, Polish, or Italian (Klein).
