Juvenile Justice
The Juvenile Justice System as it typically functions in America's thousands of jurisdictions is the subject that will be covered. The Juvenile
Justice System is defined as that "sociolegal process having responsibility and authority for public reaction to current juvenile delinquency and deterrence of future juvenile delinquency, including within that process the public and private agents, agencies, laws, rules, and policies having to do with juvenile delinquency"(Weiner, 1987, p.12). This paper will deal with the history of the juvenile system, the need for the juvenile system, juvenile court functions, parents in court and programs that have worked, along with ones that haven't.
Because the first formal juvenile court was so labeled on July 1, 1899, which would make the Juvenile Justice System nearly a century old. However, the origins of the various components of the JJS go back much further than that.
The notion of separate treatment for children under criminal law goes back to a very early English law. Children under seven years of age were legally incapable of committing a crime, and children between seven and fourteen were presumed incapable, this concept being based upon a child's inability to have a guilty mind, or mens rea. Thus, from almost the beginning children have been treated differently from adults who commit the same acts.

The Juvenile Justice system, since its conception over a century ago, has been one at conflict with itself. Originally conceived as a fatherly entity intervening into the lives of the troubled urban youths, it has since been transformed into a rigid and adversarial arena restrained by the demands of personal liberty and due process. The nature of a juvenile's experience within the juvenile justice system has come almost full circle from being treated as an adult, then as an unaccountable child, now almost as an adult once more.

Jim Casy’s actions bore a close resemblance to the actions of Jesus Christ. In the time the book was published, this was viewed as an act of blasphemy. As discussed in class, many of the acts, trials, and tribulations of Jim Casy (along with the ominous JC initials) parallel those of Jesus. Jim Casy represents the epitome of personal reverence, despite his renunciation of preaching.
Well, he shows you do not have to be the smartest person to be successful and that never to give up on what you’re after. For example, he puts parts of his personal life into his music to show that just because he has fame and fortune that doesn’t mean he’s like any other human being. He sings and raps about love, passion, and loss. For one in his song “Hotline Bling” from his album “Views,” shows a loss of a friend, or maybe a lover and how things change and one you stop trying to make the relationship work, but turns out into just being “you used to.”
As people called him The King of Pop. But his style of music fell into many different genres such as soul, R&B, funk, disco and dance-pop. Many different people of many different genres like James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Diana Ross, and Fred Astaire musically influenced him. So Michael’s music was for pretty much everyone.
1. What is the difference between a. and What are the five goals of juvenile corrections? How effectively are these goals achieved? The goals of juvenile corrections are to deter, rehabilitate and reintegrate, prevent, punish and reattribute, as well as isolate and control youth offenders and offenses. Each different goal comes with its own challenges.
Herman published The Meaning of Death in 1959 a piece of writing that would galvanize the interest for psychologists to study death. Prior to publication, Feifel joined the Air Force in 1942 as a psychologist for pilots during WWII and became very intrigued that the best pilots didn’t think about death (Herman, 1990). In addition, during the screening of pilots they were never asked about how they felt about death, what would happen to their family if they die, and what they would consider a dignified death (Herman, 1990). During the Holocaust Feifel witnessed the manslaughter of the Jewish population, he was surrounded by death. Throughout Feifels experiences and the death of his mother in 1952, he wanted to investigate the thought process of death at the conscious level and the unconscious level (Herman, 1990). Until Feifel began investing the psychology of death and how people felt about death itself, there was very little research on death. His research and commitment revealed the importance of studying death attitudes, and those actually facing life-threatening
Girls become delinquent for many different reasons then boys based on biological, social and cultural differences in each gender. From hormones and brain development, to the child’s upbringing by families, to the way girls are expected to act in public compared to boys; a different set of circumstances exists for the reasons why girls become delinquent compared to boys. Siegel, (2007, p.174) explains this by stating. “There are indications that gender differences in socialization and development do exist and that they may have an effect on juvenile offending patterns.”
Though crime, in general, is on the decline there are specific crimes and group offenders that are actually increasing. Specific crimes such as hate crimes, those crimes motivated by hostility to the victim as a member of a group, based on color, creed, gender, or sexual orientation, and juvenile crimes have become escalating debates. Lionel Tate, a 12-year-old boy at the time of his actions, is a suitable case to investigate. Using his case, I will address the increase in juvenile delinquency, the contributions to the malice acts, the severity of the crimes being committed by youth, and possible, yet reasonable repercussions.

The United States has always had criminals walking around the streets or locked up in an everyday life situation. Crimes are committed everyday by young children, adults, seniors, or any kind of man or woman that may look like a bad influence or others that look like innocent people walking down the streets who have never committed a crime before. Juveniles ages 7-15 should not be sentenced to life without parole for crimes they commit because it would not be fair for them to spend the rest of their lives in jail for committing a mistake. Reasons can be found on why juveniles should be left inside a cell and arguments can build up if people disagree with one another. Some adults commit crimes and are left with freedom after a satisfied amount
He chooses to introduce Casy to the story as Tom is on his way home from being put on parole after serving four years on a homicide charge. Tom stumbles upon Casy singing a church hymn and recognizes him as the old preacher. Casy decides to tell Tom how he, “ain’t no preacher no more,” because he, “lost the sperit.” Although Casy believes he has lost the spirit, Steinbeck still manages to make him a symbolic figure of Jesus Christ. He tells Tom about how when he lost the spirit he went out into the wilderness to try and concoct his own ideas about God, holiness, and sin. After being baptized, Jesus Christ fasted in the desert for forty days and nights. They obviously did not do it for the same reasons, but the concept is there. Casy also sacrifices himself in Tom’s place when Tom lashed out against a police officer, knocking him out cold. This could be compared to the story of how Jesus Christ sacrificed himself of the cross in order to save all sinners. Casy knew Tom as a little one, but did not truly know him as a person just like Jesus did not personally know everyone he was dying for on that cross. Another similarity between Jesus Christ and Jim Casy are their intials, J.C. Obviously Casy is not a carbon copy of Christ, as he explains to Tom about his sleeping with almost the entire congregation, but there are a few similarities. To state the obvious, they also have the same initials, J.C. Steinbeck, more
This is idea is deeply embedded within the plot of the entire film. For example, the main reason for Eddie taking his first dose of NZT-48 is because he felt that he was out of time to write his novel and that he would be evicted from his dreary dwelling if he didn’t submit it to the publisher soon (Limitless). The Economist states in its article, "Why is Everyone so Busy?" that "time has been quantifiable as money since the 1800 's. We have been paid hourly wages ever since and any waste of time frustrates us"(The Economist). This visible in almost every aspect of the movie because the thought of NZT-48 is supposed to make us wish we had a drug like it that could maximize our efficiency and in turn make us wealthy exactly like
