Scared Straight
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Battling the criminal element has been an ongoing and increasingly difficult objective since man's first presence was recorded. Deviant behavior in human beings is hard-wired into the species' psyche; when coupled with such additional elements as negative environmental influence, the prevalence for criminal behavior accounts for significant occurrence even in a civilized society. To catch such behavior at the earliest point and restructure the thinking process of a young perpetrator is the fundamental approach of such shock programs as Scared Straight, a high-profile tertiary approach to prevention that engages violent youth in brief encounters with inmates who describe "the brutality of prison life or short-term incarceration in prisons or jails" (The Department of Health and Human Services, 2001) with the expectation of shocking - and thereby deterring - adolescents from committing crimes. While a program such as this has all the markings of a successful outcome and lower recidivism rates, statistics have illustrated how such hard-core approaches may actually increase criminal behavior instead of prevent it.

Sentencing of Juvenile Criminal as Adults
[ send me this paper ]
( 5 pp) Sentencing youth to incarceration can never be the sole solution to delinquency and crime. However, public fears about juvenile delinquency and crime have escalated in recent years, boosted in part by a handful of headline-grabbing incidents that foster stereotypes of young people as out of control. It is not as though these incidents do not happen, sadly they do. However, the doubt which it engenders in society's mind concerning its youth is equally damaging. One proposed solution is to sentence and incarcerate juveniles as adults. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
