Parents and Delinquent Children

When children who are younger than 18  and older than 10 commit a crime this is an act of juvenile delinquency. Juvenile delinquency falls under two categories. The first type of delinquent act is if he committed when he was an adult he would be charged with committing a crime . Second kind of delinquent act is being out late at night passed curfew and skipping school. A child can commit a crime for many reasons,  lack of family  relations or no family relationship at all, drug and alcohol abuse, friends that commit crimes and many others. When a child breaks the law whatever the case may be, Murder or truancy it is both the child's and parents fault.  However blame tends to lean more on parents than on the children. 

 Parents are usually the most important role models for the kids in their life. The views and behaviors of the parents can have an everlasting influence on their children's behavior, it being good or bad.  When there is a lack of family relations or none at all.  When children feel ignored they lash out to get the attention of their parents. Knowing what they are doing is bad but wanting them to notices them. If they don't feel loved they become insecure making it harder to make friends and the friends they do tend to make bad decisions. 

 Delinquency is usually the result of  inappropriate behavior at home, school or in the community.   Juvenile delinquency is often caused by peer pressure from friends or other teens. when children grow more up and become teens, they go through periods of life where their peers are more important than their parents, and siblings. teens want to fit in with there peers so by listing to them over an experienced adult they do just that. Then finding themselves in a compromising situation. this want to fit in tends to cloud people judgement. this especially true with female teens who are facing difficult challenges at home, According to Joseph A. Wickliffe  from Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute.  

 Crime has been around since the dawns of humankind, only in the 18th century has juvenile crime been around. Family treatment has a influence in juvenile crime. Parents that pay little to no attention to their kids are failing as parents, helping the kids become influenced by their peers and the environment they live in.  The parents that do pay attention are doing the best they can helping send a message that they are love.

Slap On the Wrist

Law Enforcement abuse had no action. Many police officers do not get prosecuted; they get no action for what they do wrong. Changes should be made in regards to the way law officials are dealt with in the act of shooting encounters. Officers should be charged accordingly because it is unfair, unjust and violates morality. Eric Gardner, a 43 year old male, was pronounced dead after being compressed in his neck to death by police during an encounter in which police had believed him to be selling cigarettes that were considered "loose". Footage had surfaced during the 90's of police beating a man named Rodney King to death; none of the officers involved in the situation were charged. Another man named  Stephon Clark  was killed in Sacramento, California by police who had misinterpreted the situation; those officers were not charged, even though they MUTED their body cameras.  Officers  involved in the Alton Sterling incident are not being charged.

The Mind of a Serial Killer

Image
Many serial killers act the same as any other human beings.  They walk, talk, and work long hours at any occupation.  However, they are masters of compartmentalization due to certain traits such as strong narcissism to manipulate others, making interrogations useless since it can be difficult on what serial killers are actually thinking and on why they kill.  They don't kill because they think differently, it's based on what they feel or any other motives towards murdering their victims. According to the FBI , a serial killer "means a series of three or more killings, not less than one of which was committed within the United States" (Morton, 2005).  In the research of Ph.D Berit Brogaard , it is discussed that the term serial killer is problematic for many reasons that some people will not be able to understand based on the situation at hand.  Since the 1980's in the United States there have been 87 classified serial killers per year and of today there...
