“Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the coarse or centuries, have enabled man to be less enslaved” (A. Malraux). There are many different cultures in the world but the Indian culture is a unique one. The Indian culture has been influenced by a history that is many millennia’s old, and still has a big influence on the world with over 1.2 billion followers who don’t just reside in India; but all over Earth itself. The short story, Ramu and Rani, is a cultural story from India and was written by Iqbal Ahmad. In this story, a soon to be married man learns about the tale of Ramu and Rani; two lovers and they’re struggle to be together because of culture. The short story, Ramu and Rani, written by Iqbal Ahmad, is a typical Indian culture story compared to Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions model. Ramu and Rani demonstrates similarities to Geert Hofstede’s cultural dimensions model through power distance, masculinity, and indulgence/restraint.…
In the article she says that, “Juveniles who go through the adult courts are 34 percent more likely to be arrested again than those kept on juvenile tracks”. This means that children placed in prison are more likely to become repeat offenders, than someone who is kept in the juvenile system. The paper also talks about how kids brains are not fully developed, so they do not think about the consequences. Finally,this explains why teenagers are more reckless and don't think about what will happens in the future.…
A detention center houses and feeds the juvenile while monitoring their every move. A huge issue with juveniles who are institutionalized is that there is a serious lack of funding for these programs. In many cases the male detention centers receive more of the funding, and better care than female detention centers. Detention centers are over crowded, have high numbers of minority, and do not actually help the juvenile realized what they have done is wrong and why it is wrong. The juvenile justice needs to be concerned with these issues because once the juvenile has served his/her time they may end up back in a detention center or turn into an adult criminal. This will not help reduce the amount of crime. Juveniles need a huge support system, and many times this is not the case with their family or members of the community once being released from detention centers. Once being released the juveniles are than placed on parole where they must adhere to rules and guidelines very similar to juveniles placed on…
The juvenile justice sector applies to individual under the age of 18 that are unable to be tried in the adult court system. Juvenile accused of committing crimes could face a transfer to the adult court system in conformance with some state laws and the specific crime that was committed. Juveniles later found guilty are not convicted of committing crimes, but rather delinquencies. Enforced by the state, in most cases, juvenile justice focuses on lower the recidivism rate by rehabilitating offenders. Rehabilitation, rather than imposing punishment on juveniles eliminates the hardening of the juveniles. Confined juveniles often learn the ways of more violent juveniles that they would not learn if they were sentenced to rehabilitation instead. With newly acquired skills from other jailhouse inmates, juveniles are more likely to go on to commit more serious crimes. As for adults, the technique is often punishment and then rehabilitation due to the fact that society views children as more likely to change rather than adult…
The national trend towards getting tough on juvenile crime by altering the juvenile justice system to more closely mirror the adult system was examined in order to determine whether secure confinement of juvenile offenders is as effective as community-based rehabilitative and treatment programs for these youth. Politicians and public perceptions have allowed the juvenile justice system to evolve from one of reform based thinking to one of punishment based thinking, placing more young offenders in secure facilities than ever before. The social repercussions of secure confinement of juveniles, without the use of proper rehabilitative tools, including education and life-building skills, are evident as youth are being ‘set aside’ rather than being encouraged to become productive members of their communities.…
It will allow juveniles to transition back into society without having the urge to be involved in delinquent behaviors. It will help them identify problem and how to handle them. It will focus on peer pressure which is a primary reason why most juveniles get arrested. Though the program will be for post adjudication it will also include parenting skills for those parents who have to continue to raise a child post adjudication. Being incarcerated can be a traumatizing event for anyone; which is why Mental Health services will be included in the post adjudication program. The program will not only help recidivism rates go down but will also help juvenile offender become law abiding…
Juveniles needs to learn from their crimes, so that is where the consequences comes into play for the juvenile’s criminal behavior. Juvenile can go through different consequences like community-based like probation and treatments programs that the judge has sent them to, for the juveniles to learn from their criminal behaviors. Probation, institution centers and treatment would be to help the juveniles to learn and change their paths of committing crimes.…
According to Nate Balis the director of juvenile’s justice strategy group he stated that “ incarceration of juveniles is not helping the community stop a person to stop committing crime it persuades them to keep doing what they’re doing and don’t care about life at all.” (Balis)…
Sending young offenders to adult prisons means that we as a society do not care for them, and means we have given up on them. We are basically setting them up for failure in the adult prison, because they have no chance of getting out, because of their undeveloped mind constantly telling them that the jail life is necessary for survival. Instead of sending them to these prisons, we should send these young offenders to juvenile hall, where they could be treated with rehab, and a second chance at life for the mistake they’ve committed at such a young age. And if they show no sign of wanting to improve, and love their old habits, then, and only then should they go to adult prisons. But until then, they should not be tried as adults, and go to adult…
Juveniles in the adult criminal system are 34% more likely to be rearrested for another crime than youth retained in the juvenile system (Key Facts: Youth in the Justice System) so there for the juveniles aren’t learning their lesson. More and more teens are doing time alongside adults in prison recently after 100s years of adolescents committing serious crimes. Most juveniles tried as adults usually become reoffenders, they are not mature enough for adult jails, and they deserve another shot. Ultimately, the Juvenile Justice System was invented exactly for this purpose.…
Juveniles have been incarcerated in secure facilities since 1974. Juveniles are committing more heinous crimes and citizens have advocated for tougher penalties on crime. They want justice for the violence perpetrated on their families, businesses and communities. The Juvenile Justice system is charged with simultaneously protecting the public as well as reforming those juveniles who are convicted and sentenced to secure facilities. Barry C. Feld (1995) believes that there is a “desire to "get tough," fueled in part by frustration with the intractability of crime, that provides political impetus to transfer some young offenders to criminal courts for prosecution as adults and to strengthen the sanctioning powers of juvenile courts”(p.966).…
Placing a juvenile into a secure facility is not advantageous to the juvenile and has nor proven to be to be beneficial to society either. Statistics show that almost half of the juveniles in custody have not committed a violent crime or one that was against another person (Elrod & Ryder, 1999). Secure facilities resemble prisons where offenders are locked down and kept away from the public, but provide no real systematic approach for helping the juvenile down a path that will lead them to being a successful member of society. Secure facilities also have a growing problem with violence within their walls and escapes attempted. Although the majority of the juveniles who are incarcerated in a facility came in for a non-violent reason, the method…
The process of dying can be slow, painful, and undignified when you have an untreatable disease. The ethical dilemma of legalizing physician assisted suicide has been fought over for many years. Physician assisted suicide, which is different from euthanasia, is when terminally ill patients commit suicide facilitated by means of a lethal dosage of prescribed drugs which have been provided by a physician who has talked to the patient and is aware of how them plan to use them. (Merriam-Webster, 2011) In this paper, arguments in favour of physician assisted suicide are explored, as well, some arguments against are addressed and refuted. The points which are analyzed are as follows; since the criminal code stipulates that it is a criminal offence to assist someone in committing suicide, a patient who is terminal and does not possess the ability to take their own life, this code then deprives these people of their section 7 Charter rights which states that everyone has the right to life and the right to take it away. Secondly, when patients cannot confide in their physicians, it is much more likely for their family to need to aid in their suicide. This then puts their family in grave risk of jail. Lastly, it has been quoted that many physicians already secretly assist some terminal patients in committing suicide. Physician assisted suicide should be legalized in every country.…
Jail wouldn't be a great place for youth, because the kids would be more likely to get more problems when they return to society. Adolescents would be more likely to do something illegal. If a teenager commits a cold blood murder, they aren´t just destroying their lives but lives of the victims and their families.…
