Tecno-Delinquents
The Heavy buzz in the back of my skull woke me, rebooting my cerebral cortex and booting the overlay into the corners of my eyes. Looking around there’s not much to see my sleeping cubicle being one of the downgraded models due to my recent unemployment there’s barely enough room to sleep yet alone store any personal possessions. I slide out feet first into the living quarters that me and my roommate share. He sits on the ground, far before wakeup call, fiddling with his radio as he always does. Slamming the thing into the ground swearing in a language I don't fully comprehend; suddenly without much warning, the thing fiddles to life and he look’s more excited then

New B0unty Hunter is lead by a charismatic Zeek in their twenties named Émiliena Bonjour, though we here doubt that's their real name, has captured the heart of the people despite his party's extremist ideals. This we can only speculate as due to the rife and scandal that was perpetrated throughout france's last election. Now Émiliena is in the popular vote and seems to be in the running to be the official elected Prime Minister of France, despite her original violent takeover. This apparent victory is being called trickery and witchcraft by various Anti-Psychic Organization’s around the

    As soon as the radio is switched on it is described as screaming and it startles the man. He also recognized the radio announcer’s voice but it this was the first time his voice did not sound upbeat and happy as it usually was during his morning show. The author also describes his voice as “Cracking with hysteria” (Hood, pg. 161) which clearly sets the mood in the story. The way his voice is described stresses the role that the announcer plays in this story.…

    Abbott notes the importance of integrating theory and practice by asserting that professional expert knowledge, discretion and judgement rest at the interface between the work or tasks involved and the skill achieved through on-the-job training and practice and the abstract knowledge or theory that underpin this (Abbott 1988). This assignment will focus on a specific case (MS) that I have supervised during my traineeship and I will demonstrate my ability to assess, supervise, plan, intervene, review and evaluate a case by following the ASPIRE model of case management (Home Office 2005). MSs offence of theft was of an acquisitive nature, he stole a pair of trainers to sell on in order to fund his alcohol misuse. MS was sentenced at Rotherham Magistrates Court, for an offence of theft and was made subject to a twelve month Community Order under the Criminal Justice Act 2003. The following two requirements were imposed MS must attend Supervision to address his offending behaviour and an Alcohol Treatment Requirement to address his alcohol misuse. The reasons given behind this were that such a sentence would allow him to work with a Probation Officer in respect of the rehabilitation element. This proposal fits neatly with the anti-custody values of the Probation Service whose underlying concern is to deal with offenders in constructive ways which do not damage or degrade them. This is also related to other probation values of client self-determination and potential for change (Williams B 1995). Probation Orders are seen as punishments in themselves. Wasik and Taylor assert that the Criminal Justice Act 1991 introduced the Probation Order as a sentence of the court in its own right (Wasik and Taylor 1991 Pg48). Dunbar and Langdon argue that this Act was passed at a time when a major aim or criminal justice policy was to reduce prison numbers and ensure that sentences and the public saw community sentences as a viable option (Dunbar and Langdon 1998 Pg74). The…

    Middle-Class Delinquency’s Relationship to Gangs: A Persuasive Thesis Statement on a study of whether middle class delinquents more susceptible to committing crime and joining gangs. Although many gang members are now coming from middle class neighborhoods, not all delinquent teens turn to crime or gang life, so how are middle class youth influenced into becoming gang members? The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local law enforcement agencies estimate 1.4 million gang members are in the United States today, with a growing number coming from middle, socio-economic communities. Why are delinquent, middle class teens ostracized by social controls to the point they actively feel a need to pursue a gang membership to fulfill a bizarre…

    I ended up going to Richland Community College due to my lack of education and the consequences of slacking during high school. I’ve never been the brightest child nor did I take education really seriously while I was in high school. Playing video games on constant basis did not help with my GPA at all. From the video games to the testing anxiety, it made me just want to skip through high school and go to college. But neglecting school work has finally come to a toll as I took the ACT and the SAT with terrible scores due to my testing anxiety. I’ve come to Richland Community College for assistance and for a better start on my education. Hopefully…

    After high school, students enter the next part of their lives known as college or university. This is a big step in a student’s education, but many students cannot go forth for one reason or another or simply because they were never given the opportunity because of their financial situation. Every student should have the right to free post-secondary education. Not only would this help those students a tight spot, but it could also improve colleges and universities reputations as well as agree with the ethical argument that “education should not be a commodity that is bought and sold.”…

    Crime - young offenders

    • 2519 Words
    • 11 Pages

    It is widely acknowledged in Australia and around the world that young people under the age of 18 should be subject to a system of criminal justice that is separate from the adult system. This is because young people often have lower levels of maturity, as well as knowledge when it comes to the law. Although morals and ethics form an important part of school education (helping young people to make sensible decisions), most aspects of the law do not become clear until they reach adulthood. In NSW young people are legally separated from adults when it comes to rights such as questioning, identification, forensic procedures, having the right to a support person and automatic legal aid. Young people also have a separate court to deal with their and separate legislation offences. The effectiveness of these judicial and legislative provisions inevitably has mixed results. This merits an ongoing monitoring and review process that aims to identify the legal issues faced by young offenders within the criminal justice system, and support and protect young people in the legal system.…

    Juvenile Delinquents

    Most states and the federal government have laws that expunge young offender’s criminal records of delinquency when a certain age is reached. The purpose behind most states and the federal government expunging juvenile records is to allow youth who has made bad decisions, and found guilty of their youthful transgressions to enter adulthood without the heavy stigmatic freight of a criminal record (Funk & Polsby, 1997). The fundamental philosophy for juvenile laws is that a juvenile delinquent should be considered and treated not as a criminal, but as a person requiring care, education and protection. Furthermore, in their eyes, juveniles are not thought of as bad people who should be punished, but as a individual who need help (Funk & Polsby,…

    Punishment for violating the laws can be lenient or they can be harsh, and they can be used to prevent others from committing crimes as well as deterring people from becoming repeat offenders. People assume that juveniles are not rational beings; meaning that they do not know the difference between right and wrong and that they do not understand the consequences following their actions, however that assumption is wrong because juveniles can be deterred from committing delinquent acts by knowing that they may be punished for the act committed.…

    juvenile delinquency

    Adolescent Offenders” by Edward P. Mulvey, Carol A. Schubert, and Laurie Chassin, substance use and delinquency are strongly linked together. Studies of youth in juvenile court demonstrate that a majority of court-involved adolescents have recently used illegal substances that are more serious, and frequent adolescent offenders have used more substances. These offenders are more likely to be diagnosed of having a substance use disorder. The issue of when and how individuals develop these occurring patterns of substance use and illegal activity is less clear. Some of the same factors that put an individual at risk for involvement in criminality also put that individual at risk for substance use problems. Parental substance use disorders, poor parenting, violent family environments, and factors such as sensation seeking and lack of behavioral inhibition place an adolescent at higher risk of using drugs and alcohol and engaging in illegal acts.…

    Up came my head off the soft pillow. I creeped out from my comforter that smells so much like fresh roses from the garden. My toes were still asleep, so I had to wiggle them constantly to remind them it was time to touch the cold hard floor. Both feet finally hit the floor and began moving toward the tiny closet that I called my own. It was so tiny that I could barely fit five outfits in. The rest of my clothes ended up on the floor or my dresser filled with dust.…
