Marlon Marshall in my opinion wasn’t serious about the juvenile program. You can tell that he really loved what he do as in selling drugs. Marlon loved how much money that was coming in everyday; he isn’t ready to give up that kind of lifestyle just yet. He basically states that he’s still selling drugs while he’s in the juvenile program. I think he wants to do better in life, but the only thing he knows is what he grew up around. Once he returns home he cannot violate any of his probation meaning: Getting arrested for a new offense while on probation. Failure to pay your fines, failure to perform or complete community service as instructed, failure to appear in court to show progress the probationer made on probation. failure to submit paperwork to court, failure to report to probation officer as scheduled, failure to pay probation fees to the probation department, failure to submit drug test, failure to submit to search and seizure by police officers of your home or vehicle. If he fail or violate any of his probation, the court may extend his probation, charge added probation terms, he will have to serve a brief time in jail, or revoke his probation altogether and require you to serve out any remaining time of his beginning sentence in prison. As far as Marlon future his goals was to go to college and enter the Police Academy. At the rate he is going his future won’t be so bright if he’s going to continue to sell drugs. To become a police officer you cannot have any kind of misdemeanor or felonies on your record. To better his future, I hope he change, have a turn around, become successful, and reach his goals.

    One of the issue racism has created among both the Native and African American communities is the concept colorism. The ideology behind racism, that there is a superior class, is often being practiced within racial groups. While colorism is not an official term, it is a concept rooted in racism and slavery.

    Red Inequality In America

    Everyone in America has the opportunity to succeed financially, however, this opportunity is not equal for everyone. One's social class, income, and education all factor into their opportunity to succeed. If you are on the lower end of the spectrum it may not just require a strong work ethic to succeed you may also need some sort of luck or talent in order to do so. Social class can help people get a head start to reaching financial success but it can also hold people back. It may affect the quality of education one receives which in turn may result in higher/lower income. Everyone has different obstacles to face in life but these obstacles are not impossible to overcome. Financial success would mean you are able to keep yourself and those dependent on you alive and secure, you can pay the bills, and have some degree of upward mobility. All Americans have…

    The case I am reviewing is the one Kris off of Jurisville; Kris was involved in a theft with a popular clothing store. Kris tried to leave the store with a six hundred dollar jacket without paying for it. The store manger was lucky enough to stop him and hand him over to the police when they arrived. Kris remained in jail for sixty days, unable to make bail. He was ordered to spend a year in jail, but then later had his sentencing suspended, thus landing him on probation. Probation is a period of supervision over an offender, ordered by a court instead of serving time in prison (Dictionary 2014) Kris has a record from his past involving battery and criminal trespass, which landed him on probation and later extended probation. I find that his drug and alcohol problems are the source of his predicaments with law enforcement. After reviewing his case and Robert Donavon’s results, I feel that I agree one hundred percent with everything Robert has detailed. Such as his periodic drug and alcohol testing, mental counseling, weekly meetings with the probation officer.…

    More than two million people in the US self injure a day, privilege for those with lighter skin is still being granted, and a woman’s natural hair is still not fully accepted in American culture, but isn’t black America still a part of America? From the year 1619 until present day, the social and mental disconnection between Whites and people of color have been nearly impossible to resolve. The social construct of pigmentocracy and colourism have caused women in minority groups to devalue themselves in ways that made white standards of beauty appear to be the only kind.…

    The quest for knowledge and understanding drives individuals to explore the unknown and live out the thoughts that once consumed their minds. Experience and formed opinions are the end results of these journeys; assumptions are either reinforced or shattered, but either way the truth is a little bit closer than before. Dark and gray areas consume the field of criminal justice; only personal experience can serve as a light. Participating in the internship program offered through the College of Criminal Justice at Sam Houston State University has become that light. Throughout this semester the knowledge acquired from SHSU criminal justice classes combined with the experiences gained from the Dallas County Adult Probation Department has produced an exceptional understanding of fact and theory pertaining to the field of criminal justice. Courses such as Criminology 262 and the Fundamentals of Criminal Law 264 contributed to the personal triumph gained from involvement in the internship program and allowed individual strengths and weaknesses to arise.…

    A description of the process the juvenile will follow after arrest, from intake, through court, sentencing, and punishment or rehabilitation. The process should be based on actual state laws and practices of your state or a state in which you are familiar. I will be using Case study two which is as follows: Xander L. is a 17-year-old African American male and documented gang member. His prior juvenile adjudications include purse snatching, breaking and entering, and drug possession. His first juvenile adjudication occurred when he was 13 years old. He has served a year of custody in the juvenile correctional facility and has been placed on probation twice previously. His instant arrest is for possession of a concealed weapon, to which he has pled guilty.…

    In simple terms, cultural diversity can be defined as the level of diversity or difference in a given society. Societies that display high levels of diversity exhibit many differences across that population. Differences can include skin color, religious affiliation, cultural practices and other ethnic beliefs and customs. Immigration is a major factor in determining the level of diversity that a given society is exposed to. Ever since the dawn of time, humans have traveled the globe in curiosity to interact with other civilizations. These interactions were either well intentioned to share and form partnerships, or militaristic conquests to expand territories and force populations to conform to foreign ideals. These such interactions helped to foster cultural diversity both genetically, as is the case with Attila the Hun, or substantively through the spread of cultural beliefs and practices worldwide.…
