World History : Transportation of Criminals to Australia U.S. Government : What Should We Do About Crime? U.S. History : Development of the Juvenile Justice System. "Beyond the Seas": The Transportation from "Botany Bay: A New Song" (1790) From 1750 to 1850, Britain rose as the first industrial society. With the invention of steam-driven machines, factories sprouted in Britains cities. People in the countryside flocked to work in the factories, which mass-produced goods. This rapid transformation from a farming society to an industrial one is known as the Industrial Revolution . It brought great wealth to Britain. It also brought the problems of industrial society. Workers labored long hours for wages that barely kept them and their families alive. Their children typically went to work in factories and mines shortly after reaching age 6. Many children were orphaned or abandoned and lived in the streets. To survive, many people in Londons crowded slums stole and robbed.
Juvenile Crime; No Hope? This has to be learned behavior. There seems to be growing awareness now of this juvenile crime problem in the United States. Several http://www.emergency.com/juvycrim.htm
Extractions: Vol. 2 - #139 **LEAD STORY** By Steve Macko, ENN Editor The Statistics There is a bitter battle over how to combat the nation's fastest-growing crime problem juvenile offenders. While overall crime statistics in America's largest cities has dropped, there is one category where it has skyrocketed. That category is homicides committed by youths under the age of 17. Between 1984 and 1994, murders committed by youths under 17 tripled. Demographic studies show that there will be a surge in the teen population in the coming years and experts believe that 25 percent of all murders committed by the year 2005 will be committed by juveniles. Violence (i.e. Aggravated assaults) committed with guns by youths has also increased at roughly the same pace as homicides. After years of statistical decline, drug use by teens is also on the rise. None of these statistics would appear to bode well for future. It now seems that everyday we are hearing about horrendous violent crimes being committed by juveniles. The most famous of late was the 6-year-old in northern California who almost beat to death a small baby. The baby was just released from the hospital on Thursday and has suffered brain damage from the attack by the 6-year-old.
Extractions: The Long Arm of Federal Juvenile Crime Law Shortened Tuesday, July 15, 1997 Violent crimes committed by adults are declining, primarily because state and local governments are increasing punishment for these offenses. By contrast, the number of violent crimes committed by teenagers has doubled over the last decade, and the FBI predicts another doubling in the next 10 years. [See the figure Congress is now pushing legislation meant to stem the increase in juvenile crime. But part of the reason for the explosion is that Congress imposed federal mandates on state and local governments to limit their ability to deal effectively with juvenile crime. Under current law, law enforcement authorities are hindered from using the most efficient techniques for detaining and confining juvenile criminals. As a result, these youths are often put back on the streets, sending the wrong message and posing a threat to people's lives and property. If state and local governments have succeeded in reducing adult crime, why not juvenile crime too?
Extractions: Juvenile Crime Last year an estimated three million crimes were committed in the nation's schools and some 100,000 guns were carried to school every day. Yet even these numbers represent only a fraction of the crime and violence that confront america's young people. Directing youth away from crime and appropriately dealing with those who commit crimes is of increasing importance as demographic trends indicate that juvenile crime will continue to increase well into the next century. Within this resolution affirmative teams might advocate programs to deal with youth gangs, or revision of the juvenile justice system, as well as programs aimed at the underlying social conditions that bred juvenile crime. Negative debaters might counter with arguments about the efficacy of particular programs, or the need to balance justice and fairness with crime control as well as the desirability of altering the juvenile justice system's focus on rehabilitation. JUVENILE CRIME: How should the federal government reduce juvenile crime in the United States? Resolved: That the federal government should establish a program to substantially reduce juvenile crime in the United States.

FBI Crime Stats Omit Male Rape Victims From the sponsors of the website Stop Prisoner Rape "The FBI just released its report on crime statistics, but it left out something important: All male victims are excluded from its numbers on rape. Why? Because the FBIs classifications for crimes were developed in 1929 and have never been updated to reflect the reality that many men are victims of rape, especially in prison." "Stop Prisoner Rape, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit human rights group, is calling on the FBI to reform this blatantly sexist approach to dealing with male rape victims."

Extractions: February 1998 N ational media coverage of crime has increased dramatically in recent years ( Media Monitor , 1994), and violent and gang-related offenses have often been the subjects of this new media attention (Males, 1996). For example, a recent study by the Center for Media and Public Affairs revealed that while the homicide rate in the U.S. fell 20% between 1993 and 1996, media coverage of murders increased 721% ( Washington Post , August 12, 1997: D1). While, as shall be noted, links between media trends and public perceptions are generally complex, it is also the case that the number of Americans naming crime as the nation's "most important problem" increased sixfold between June of 1993 and January of 1994at a time when official crime statistics and victimization surveys showed little change ( Media Monitor , 1994). Certainly, criminology must begin to take account of media coverage in more systematic ways than has previously been the case.

Extractions: May 1995 Part II When discussing trends in crime, it is important to consider both the state's long-term and short-term directions of crime. Over time, changes in economic conditions, social conditions and values, lifestyles, residential patterns, and especially demographics can have significant impacts on crime trends. In several charts that follow, we show the trends in juvenile crime for California, as measured by juvenile arrests. In general, the data show that: Historically, increases in the size of the juvenile population have been a strong predictor of increases in overall crime. Accordingly, we present projections of future changes in California's juvenile population and estimate the potential effect these changes may have on future juvenile crime in California.
