The threat of chronic offenders

/in /by

Assignment:

The planning director for the State Department of Juvenile Justice has asked for your advice on how to reduce the threat of chronic offenders. Some of the more conservative members of her staff seem to believe that these kids need a strict dose of rough justice if they are to be turned away from a life of crime. They believe juvenile delinquents who are punished harshly are less likely to recidivate than youths who receive lesser punishments, such as community corrections or probation. In addition, they believe that hardcore, violent offenders deserve to be punished; excessive concern for offenders and not their acts ignore the rights of victims and society in general. The planning director is unsure whether such an approach is ethical. Is it ethical to use tough punishment with kids because it may produce deviant identities that lock kids into a criminal way of life? She is concerned that a strategy stressing punishment is not only unethical, but it will have relatively little impact on chronic offenders and, if anything, may cause escalation in serious criminal behaviors.

The director has asked you for your professional advice on this ethical dilemma. Write a two-page memorandum: On the one hand, the system must be sensitive to the adverse effects of stigma and labeling. On the other hand, the need for control and deterrence must not be ignored. Is it possible to reconcile these two opposing views? Do you believe that the current methods of deterrence are working? Does the fear of the death penalty stop individuals from committing these crimes? What do you believe would be a better way to deter people from committing crimes? Be sure to research the topic and cite sources to support your views.

Please complete this assignment in Microsoft Word then submit it through Blackboard. This assignment must be two (2) pages in length (this does NOT include the reference page). Please 12-point Times New Roman font.

Industrial Revolution

/in /by

The idea of an Industrial Revolution is a hotly debated concept among historians. Part of the argument against its usage is that it both implies a rapid, sharp historical break and a single model. Neither really help us understand the diverse ways in which economies industrialized. A major theme in Unit 5 is the diverse ways in which national economies industrialized and modernized. Britain was the first and others followed, roughly speaking, that model, but they did so on their own terms.

Task:

Compare and contrast the British experience of industrialization with at least one other national economy discussed in Unit 5 (Germany, United States, Russia, Japan). Your response should address the following questions:

What role did the nation-state play in the industrialization process?
a. What role, if any, did empire-building play in the industrialization process?
When did industrialization take place?
How long was the process?
What technologies and ideologies helped shape the process of industrialization?
