¶ … preventative measures that could have been implemented to keep your selected juvenile from turning to delinquent behaviors. Cite your additional journal article. Then explain one social factor that might interfere with treatment for this juvenile.
Preventative measures that could have been implemented to keep your selected juvenile from turning to delinquent behaviors: Duane Sexually precocious behavior is not abnormal in children who are victims, and Duane seemed to have little supervision at home. His mother appeared overwhelmed by the task of raising a child, particularly a child with Duane's difficulties.
The story of Duane is every parent's nightmare. Duane is a ten-year-old boy who received treatment for being a juvenile sex offender. Even after treatment, Duane was convicted of molesting a five-year-old girl. Duane was removed from his mother's custody as a result and charged with a class B felony. After his arrest, Duane was confined to a cell, without any education or additional support. Duane's IQ of 60 made his case even more complex: his social worker admitted that this was the most difficult case she had ever faced.
Early intervention on several levels might have prevented the abuse. Support for women in Mary's situation, giving them resources to identify abuse and the profile of a childhood abuser, might have prevented Duane from being abused in the first place. Resources for single mothers, such as halfway houses and job training, can convince women that they do not need to stay with a potentially abusive boyfriend or spouse (who may be…
As a victim in a high-risk situation, Duane clearly needed more counseling and support to help him deal with the crimes that had been perpetuated upon him. This highlights how social inequities can affect a child's trajectory in life. A young boy from a socioeconomically advantaged home would likely not have been in the vulnerable position of Duane, given that there would have been more resources to provide him with supervision. Had he still suffered abuse, a wealthier family would be able to provide assistance through private means of the best quality (such as a private child psychologist). They would also have been able to have afforded academic support and specialized attention for their child.
Sexual abuse can happen to any child, and all children, regardless of income status, can experience developmental delays. However, families with additional financial resources can 'cushion' the blows of these difficulties much more easily. This is neither just nor fair but seems inevitable. According to Nelson (2007), the problem of treating juvenile offenders equitably is compounded by the fact that juvenile sex offenders often have certain unique characteristics, versus general offenders. They are more likely to have learning disabilities or conduct disorders, for example, and are more likely to continue to offend even after they are no longer members of the juvenile population (Nelson 2007). A chaotic family and exposure to sexuality at an early age is also characteristic of offenders, as was the case with Duane.
Sexual abuse is usually a 'chronic' disorder, versus other types of delinquent behavior such as status offenses (truancy,
Internet Security Measures- An Assessment The world of the Internet is truly an amazing and wonderful place where any information on any topic is available, right at your fingertips, with the mere click of a button. The Internet is very much like a huge city where high rises filled with honest people and slums filled with the lower classes coexist side by side; where there are both good people as well
seminar was revolving more around why childhood education is important and the various credentials that support increased effort in this arena. Even though there were many related topics covered in this seminar, the major objective and goal is the relevance of early childhood education. It has been stated that early childhood development is a time when the child not only develops physically but socially, emotionally and cognitively as well.
Strategy to Implementation and Action Plans Business Strategy Implementation From Strategy to Implementation Action Plans The development of action plans is a process of putting the wheels on a strategic plan. Action plan development is crucial to implementation success as it outlines an overarching and a detailed map for achieving the goals and objectives outlined in the strategic plan. It is important for action plans to be comprehensive, providing both a macro and a
Juvenile Delinquency -- Causes and Preventive Strategies Juvenile delinquency defines negative behavior in young teens and children which result in serious and severe crimes. With the passage of time crimes committed by adolescents and young children have risen alarmingly. Several economic, social and family related issues are the core reasons behind the rise in juvenile delinquency. This paper discusses the core reason due to which young teens and children sought towards
Security management is "described in some quarters as a function of risk management," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Although there is some crossover with public sector security functions, such as policing, security management is generally considered a private sector domain. "Whilst private security has a predominantly commercial basis, it should not be forgotten that it does interact with the public to a considerable degree," (Bulletin 2, Part 2). Security management is
Regulatory Measures Events that led to implementation of various regulatory measures The implementation of the 1984 Sentencing Reform Act called for the establishment of Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations (FSGO). The United States Sentencing Commission decided to come up with these guidelines targeted at individuals and firms. The key aim was crime prevention and decreasing disparities in sentencing. (Mercer, 2003). At first, in the year 1991, the idea of organizational punishment mitigation was
