Prison
administrators, overburdened with the need to maintain security, are powerless.
This research proposal, therefore, presents a theoretical case for implementing
tribalism and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) within the prison system in
order to reduce violence, and empower both inmates and prison guards. Arguments
for the benefits of ADR are examined. The paper proposes a theoretical model that uses the prisoners as self-regulating agents for change. A proposal for
implementing reform by employing a system of “Tribal Elders” and a council of
guards system is also discussed.
Runciman’s theory
of relative deprivation suggests that income inequality increases feelings of
dispossession and unfairness, which leads poorer individuals to reduce
perceived economic injustice through crime, while Blau and Blau suggest that
relevant inequalities may be exacerbated by race. Evolutionary psychologists,Wilson and Daly views crime as a result from status competition. They argue
that people at the bottom of the income distribution are particularly sensitive
to inequality and this leads to risk-seeking behaviour (such as crime) when
low-risk activities offer poor returns to the individual.
This paper examines violence and underlying contexts and
social processes that occurred among drug users/ dealers before, during and after major disasters: Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. A Stages paradigm is used to
study violence during this time. Daily lives, conduct norms and behavior
patterns associated with violence are illustrated.
Five-year integrated, community-focused collaboration for
adolescents receiving juvenile justice services who also had diagnosed mental
health and substance abuse disorders is described. Multiple outcomes, including multi system- level and individual client-level outcomes are reported. System
level outcomes include: 1) the creation and continuation of a system of care
for the target group, including natural and community supports; and 2) the
impact of cultural issues on treatment and integrated service planning.
Empirical research on developmental theories of crime first
informed us that increase in social capital such as quality marriages, jobs or first time fatherhood would lead toward desistance, except among men who were
substance abusers. However, the men in this notable work by Robert Sampson and
John Laub were based on a cohort who came of age during World War two.
While
this seemed disheartening for those of us who hoped for social policies that
might facilitate such attachment policies, at least in the United States where
the incarceration mania continued until recently. Now new re-entry policies have begun to lead to de-carceration movements around the country. While this
is laudable, job creation and treatment programs also must be created to
facilitate successful reentry. The neighbour hoods some of these form felons
may not increase but rather decrease their social capital.
This book contains twelve chapters that take the reader to understand the
issues of sexual abuse, the chronology of the case, the purpose or the rate of
sexual abuse, a model that explains the condition of the victim, the victim and
the abuser, the impact of sexual abuse on victims, the style of action used by
the victim as well as a guide to help them. Much more interesting is the impact
of sexual abuse suffered by the victim discussed in detail simple and common
example of case. Through this book will help people to identify victims of
sexual abuse in the early stages of the incident.
In their discourse, legal practitioners and writers have also included
causation as one of the elements of tortious liability. For instance, Iranianlegal writers, such as Katouzian, Darabpour, as well as Malaysian legalwriters, such as Talib, Kidner, Murphy, Howarth, and Prosser amongst others,
dwell extensively on this issue. However, writers on Iranian tort law all
concentrate on the old theories that have been derived from Islamic law. By
contrast, Malaysian law is based, in part, on the common law, and is, to that
extent, influenced by that system.
This commentary focuses on an important and controversial public policy issue
in our field–sex offender treatment. It argues that in conjunction with
punishment, treatment efforts should also be considered for sex offender
management in the U.S. The pronounced attention to sex offending in the U.S. is striking. To illustrate, the population of registered sex offenders nationally
comprises nearly 740,000 individuals. Given the expansion of registry laws,
this number is on track to increase significantly in future years.
Football,
which has experienced an astounding transformation to a global industry with
significant economic impact, has been a vehicle for the transmission of
cultural and universal values. Its structural complexity (players, transferagents, clubs and its owners, right holders of different contracts) creates a
lot of moving parts that can easily hide illicit activity, especially because
this structure incorporates the international market.
The movement of large
amounts of money, the difficulty in accounting for all transactions, and ironically,
the clubs’ own financial needs increase this sector’s vulnerability to
organized crime, in order to curb corruption and money laundering through them.
The article argues for careful situation involving Football, identifying therisks of misconduct within sport organizations, and proposing measures that
could prevent hamper and punish any attempts to thwart these organizations’
main goal: promoting sport as a way for cultural improvement and teaching
people the values of tolerance and civilized coexistence.
