Crime is inevitable. Considering humans are social beings, the removal of their freedom bestows fear in all. For this reason, incarceration has become the leading punitive and preventive measure for crime. With the over-crowding of prisons, an alternative to incarceration is being called for consideration. All alternatives have limitations and under the consideration of the public’s safety, the alternative will target low-risk offenders who have lesser tendencies to re-offend and are of minimal risk to the community. Out of all the alternatives, electronic house arrest balances the needs of the public with the needs of the offenders. Electronic house arrest restricts freedom while minimizing social and psychological costs of incarceration through the use of an electronic bracelet or anklet (Petersilia 1986). The sanction limits only to those who have a home and in most cases, a fully operational telephone.
The ease of implementation of this program has resulted in electronic house arrest becoming a cost-effective alternative; this refers to both financial and social costs. In terms of financial costs, this benefits the public as it saves taxpayers money when compared to the cost of incarceration. In terms of social costs, it benefits both the offenders and the public because being able to maintain important social relations gives them a reason to resist offending. As well as being cost-effective, electronic house arrest is outcome-effective. Outcome-effective shows whether electronic house arrest provides an effective means of social control through the measures of recidivism, revocation, compliance, or absconding. An example is the low recidivism rates that this alternative has accumulated over the years. The major criticism of e...

...term success than those placed in incarceration. In support of Petersilia’s discovery, Otero also revealed in his study that “no inmate admitted to this control program had become a repeat offender up during the time of the research” (2009:137). The measure of compliance and control is based on escape rates in various studies conducted. Ronald Corbett and Ellsworth Fersch (1985) stated that with a random system that monitors the offenders every hour and random attendance checks has resulted in a consistent low escape rate. With low escape rates, recidivism rates, and high compliance rate,
The success of electronic monitoring is defined and achieved in three ways: the ability to
Similar to how anger management programs are provided for inmates in prisons, findings suggest that when used in conjunction with other sanctions, electronic monitoring is more efficient.
BP and Oil Lease in the Gulf of Mexico At the four year mark of the Deep Water Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows British Petroleum (BP) to drill for oil in the gulf once again. Many consumer advocate groups, chiefly Public Citizens, have voiced concerns over this decision. The lack of corporate accountability and oversight makes this decision seem unethical to these advocates groups. However, the company agrees to follow the agency’s ethic and
The book Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut ends with “One bird said to Billy Pilgrim, ‘Poo-tee-weet?’”(Vonnegut 275), this happened as the troops were leaving Dresden after its fire bombing. Poo-tee-weet comes up 3 different times throughout the book, once after a dream and twice in reference to Dresden. It is not a coincidence that the bird comes after a dream, then in Dresden, maybe the bird is just saying “what now?” The dream comes after Billy was put in the hospital in Germany. Billy was
The Changing Room Restroom Are changing rooms of large chain retail stores becoming a place for a political statement? In a reading by David Sedaris entitled Adventures at Poo Corner he discusses the topic of public defecation in the retail setting. Sedaris gives many possible explanations as to why this is, as well as providing a tremendous amount of examples. To determine that Sedaris truly isn’t making up these stories, some examples that are close to home—Sioux Falls, SD—will also be examined
they can go poo or puke? What is confusing is that flies also seem to like to land on trash and poo, which is a little insulting by the way. So, my question is why do flies like people, scraps of food and poo and if a fly had to choose between the three, which one would it choose and why? My guess is that flies are mostly lost and frantically searching for a good piece of garbage to eat and to call home. First. I needed to prove that flies were more attracted to scraps of food and poo, so I had to
The main love triangle is of Yum-Yum, Nanki-Poo and Ko-Ko. The play follows the traditional structure of a love triangle, where Yum-Yum sits at the top, while Nanki-Poo and Ko-Ko compete for her love. In the play, Yum-Yum is “bethrothed to her guardian Ko-Ko” (1.1.78), while Nanki-Poo suddenly appears declaring his love for her. The play initially sets up the love triangle as an uneven structure, where Ko-Ko does not truly love Yum-Yum the way Nanki-Poo does, but because he has the law to defend him
the project team, focusing on goal orientation and personal development and our organization should be an organizational learning by projects (Huemann & Gareis, 2000). In Our organization, we will adopt the principle of Project-Oriented Organization POO, for many preferences. As stated by the (Gareis and Huemann 1998), competencies are not only required by individuals, but also by project teams and by organizations. Further to this point, (Gareis and Huemann 1998) clarifies many things. The PM capabilities
Sullivan’s message heard. Secondly, The Mikado is highly sarcastic. Characters continually over exaggerate points in a sarcastic manner throughout the performance. This extract is a clear representation of this: “KATISHA: See here his name: ‘Nanki-Poo beheaded this morning’. Oh, where shall I find another? Where shall I find another? (KO-KO, POOH-BAH, and PITTI-SING fall to their knees.)” Aside from this, the characters are highly satirical of people within the British society in the time it was
“Language play is described as a window not only into the creative nature of language acquisition but also to the degree to which child has mastered and can manipulate the essential structures of his or her language. “ " Ferguson and Macken, 1983" Children’s language has been influenced by many elements that contributed in understanding the way in which children acquire language. Therefore, it’s important to recognize that there are different views of childhood which influence ideas and conceptions

Irregular bowel movements or constipation is quite a major and common concern in adults and babies as well. The condition becomes more challenging when it comes to babies. Parents of infants worry when their infant’s bowel movement is not regular and clear as that causes formation of gas and stomach pain. Babies who are strictly on a breast-fed diet rarely develop this problem as breast milk is easily digestible. The problem starts when your babies diet intake changes. However, there are several
opted out of the decision-making process entirely. The “no ‘poo” movement of people who do not use shampoo or hair care products is growing at a faster rate than one might expect, considering the amount of products lining the shelves. No, most adherents to the lifestyle did not wake up one morning, run out of shampoo, and decide that it just wasn’t worth the effort to decide which product to buy. Instead, people who choose to go “no ‘poo” have several reasons for going sans shampoo. Money. Although

Progress or Alienation Our society has alienated itself far from the reality of the way things are and the way they should be, through the use and misuse of scientific knowledge and technology. Science is defined as, “a logical organized method of obtaining information through direct, systematic observation.” Sometimes science does not seem organized, in fact it seems like it opens us up to a different realm of possibilities that have consequences far beyond our wildest dreams. Scientific knowledge

If I were invited into ‘room 101’ I would nominate the following things: chewing gum, spiders and pigeons. All of these things get on my nerves and deserve to go into room 101. The thing I dislike the most about chewing gum is where people leave it, on the bus, under tables and on the floor. It’s disgusting! Have you ever accidentally stepped on a piece of chewing gum just walking down the street? It gets stuck to your foot all day, you try and scrape it off, but it just isn’t budging. You then
