Environment. For instance, throughout high school my classroom learning environment had many troublemakers disrupting the classroom. Many of these troublemakers would ask me to let them copy my homework. I would negotiate with the troublemakers by asking them to not bother me or the teacher during the class session. I also charged 1 dollar per homework copied and by the end of the week I had received around twenty dollars. Negotiating with these kids has made me learn more techniques of persuasion and think like a business

Shelden, Chesney-Lind and Shelden (2004) review the leading theories of criminology – basically the same theories presented in chapters six through nine in this book –and find them all wanting in terms of explaining the delinquency of girls. Chesney-Lind and Shelden state that virtually every sociological theory of delinquency causation was formulated by “ using the data on the delinquency of boys” (Chesney-Lind and Shelden, 2004, p. 106). Just one of several examples in their book has to do with control theory. They point out that Hirschi tested his control theory by doing a self-report survey of about 4,000 junior and senior high school boys. As these authors note, it is ironic that research concludes

  • The Need for Anti-Bullying Laws

    2083 Words  | 5 Pages

    Bullying has been escalating to a certain degree that it has affected as many as 160,000 students that reported staying home from school every day, because they were afraid of being bullied (www.stompoutbullying.org). Bullying does not only stops one from wanting to go to school, it also makes one feel anxious, insecure, and unhappy at school, isolated and at times severely depressed (Young, Shin Kim, and Leventhal). Schools must have better resources available to students; this includes the victim and the bully. The victim should have both better counseling and stricter laws to protect them. Bullies also need counseling due to research which states “that many bullies tend to come from families where parents are more physically/emotionally aggressive or where other type’s family problems exist” (Schwartz, Dodge, Petit, and Bates) and stricter laws as well to protect from neglect or abuse within their family. Better protection and counseling need to be enforced to help stop bullying because it causes emotional and psychological damage to the victims.Bullying has always been around in schools. Korean scholar Hyojin Koo wrote of a twelve year old boy at King’s School in Cambridge who died of a bullying incident in 1885. Later a former student of the school wrote “a favourite habit of some of the elder boys was to link arms and rush down the long corridor at the top of their speed, and woe betides any unfortunate youngster” (Quoted in Ibid p.7). The taunts, teasing and violence were just considered being part of a normal childhood. “The first scientific paper on bullying was published in 1897, when Norwegian researcher Fredric Burkes “Teasing and Bullying/ explored why children bully, what effects bullying had on victims and how bul...
