Addressing Juvenile Crime: An Exploration of the Options
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page consideration of the problem presented by juvenile crime. The author points out that with a decade or so of “get tough” policies regarding the problem of juvenile crime, we are slowly beginning to realize that treating young offenders as adults may not be all that effective in regard to actually addressing the issues. Instead of automatically sending juveniles to prison we should explore the other options that offer a potential solution to the problem. Bootcamps, reform school, and group homes offer several possibilities but so do approaches such as group therapy, forced restitution, and aftercare programs which act as half way houses between the juvenile leaving the correctional system and reentering the community. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Advantages And Disadvantages In Community Policing
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. The notion of community policing has become a necessary evil in today's ever-threatened global society. That criminal activity far surpasses law enforcement's ability to keep it in check is indicative of how vital community policing – "a partnership between the police and the community, sharing in the delivery of police services" (Himelfarb et al, 2002) – has become as a viable alternative to help enhance an otherwise shorthanded guardian system. However, as good as any given program might be, there are bound to be drawbacks that serve to impede the very objective it seeks to achieve. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
