Extractions: Memorial O ffender ... New! Search site:(4) Articles of Interest Causes of Crime One of the issues that inevitably arises in any discussion of crime and sentencing, and that also must be considered when discussing rehabilitation, is that of the causes and origins of criminal behaviour. It is safe to say there is no one cause for criminality, or even for one particular type of offence. The causes are complex, and will vary from offender to offender. Not only that, but in most cases, there will be more than one cause for any particular offender's behaviour. Not only many forms of criminal behaviour, but many forms of behaviour generally have some genetic component, in some cases overwhelmingly so. For instance, the body of evidence for over 90% of causation of sexual orientation being genetic continues to mount up. And IQ now looks to be 60-80% heritable, and so on it goes. However, please note that there is no one "criminal gene", and that neither genes nor environment are exclusive causative factors. Recent findings indicate that genes and environmental factors often interact and one can amplify the effects of the other. It must also be remembered that whatever one's genetic inheritance, people still have the ability to make choices, and must still be held accountable and responsible for those choices. All people have a choice about how they treat others - and a few consistently make the wrong choice...

"...the mosaic of interviews presents an honest, vivid, and chilling account of teen crime in the city." - Scholastic Update TOUGH ON CRIME, TOUGH ON OUR KIND 30 minutes Concerned with the inequities in the criminal justice system and its treatment of youth, YO-TV producers examine the New York City juvenile justice system. They highlight the societal problems that cause youth crime while identifying a range of resources that youth need. By incorporating the personal stories of incarcerated youth and interviews with lawyers, community activists, and social workers, the YO-TV producers show what can happen when youth enter the maze of the New York City juvenile justice system.

Extractions: Children of inmates are at risk of educational failure, joblessness, addiction and delinquency. Not only do the children lose out, but society as a whole does, too. Incarcerating nonviolent drug offenders alongside hardened criminals is the equivalent of providing them with a taxpayer-funded education in criminal behavior.

http://www.quebecoislibre.org/000610-9.htm

Extractions: Over the last fifty years, almost every country in Western Europe and North America has experienced an enormous increase in crime rates. Neighborhoods that once were safe at night have become dangerous during the day. Random acts of violence, once almost unknown, have become common. We have this notion that this is an American problem. It is not. While Americans are definitely have a problem with murder, overall crime rates are actually higher in many other countries including Canada, Great Britain, France and Sweden. Certain kinds of violent crime are actually more common elsewhere. Home invasions are far more common in Britain. The Montreal area has recently experienced a rash of them, resulting in several deaths. The good news is that rates seem to have stabilized in the nineties. The bad news is that appears to be largely a demographic issue. Most perpetrators of crime are young men. As the baby boom ages passes from its teens and twenties into its forties and fifties, there are simply fewer people in the appropriate group than there once were. But if you look in the places where you find young people, you find that things are perhaps worse than they ever were. High schools have turned from places of learning into armed camps. Increasingly, girls are imitating their boyfriends and joining in the party. There is a reason why teacher burnout rates are so high. Shell shock.

Behavior and temperament problems of one sort or another account for approximately 70% of these failures. Although aimed at improving the success rates of guide and service dogs, the results of these studies are also likely to be of great benefit to companion dogs, and other categories of working dogs. This work is supported from various sources including individual guide/service dog agencies, and the AKC Canine Health Foundation. Animals and religion This project focuses on the historical importance of animals in the evolution of religious ideas and ideologies, with particular emphasis on the extraordinary role of animals in medieval and early modern witchcraft beliefs and prosecutions; a topic that has been ignored by historians despite the the vast scholarly literature pertaining to other aspects of the European witch hunts.

Here we try to uncover the economic causes of crime and violence using the same analytical approach that we outlined in previous sections. We are interested in identifying the similarities and differences between crime and violence at the micro-level and the macro-level (civil wars). We also aim to develop a host of policy recommendations on how the incidence of violence crime might be reduced and its social impact mitigated. There are several components to the Crime and Violence part of our project. We summarize these components below by presenting a list of research proposals submitted by analysts from within the Bank and from academic institutions, examining the whole array of issues in connection with the Economics of Crime and Violence (each topic summarizes a cluster of research proposals and corresponds to several individual papers):

http://www.criminology.fsu.edu/crimtheory/bandura.htm

Extractions: Albert Bandura was born in Mundare, Canada in 1925. He was raised in a small farming community in Canada. Bandura received his B.A. degree from the University of the British Columbia in 1949. In 1952, he obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa. During his studying at the University Iowa, he developed the social learning theory. While studying at the University of Iowa, Bandura believed that psychologists should "conceptualize clinical phenomena in ways that would make them amenable to experimental tests"(Evans, 1976: p.243). Bandura believed that psychological research should be conducted in a laboratory to control factors that determined behavior. In 1953, Albert Bandura accepted a position as a psychology professor at the University of Stanford and he is currently employed there today. Albert Bandura has achieved many honors and awards from fellow psychologists. In 1972, he received a distinguished achievement award from the American Psychological Association and a Scientist Award from the California State Psychological Association. In 1974, Bandura was elected the president of the American Psychological Association. In 1977, he was known as the Father of the Cognitive Theory. In 1980, he was also elected the president of the Western Psychological Association. In 1989, he was also employed to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences (Hilgard, 1989: pp.11).

http://www.criminology.fsu.edu/transcrime/articles/socialproblem.htm

Extractions: Sociologists have erred in locating social problems in objective conditions. Instead, social problems have their being in a process of collective definition. This process determines whether social problems will arise, whether they become legitimated, how they are shaped in discussion, how they come to be addressed in official policy, and how they are reconstituted in putting planned action into effect. Sociological theory and study must respect this process. My thesis is that social problems are fundamentally products of a process of collective definition instead of existing independently as a set of objective social arrangements with an intrinsic makeup. This thesis challenges the premise underlying the typical sociological study of social problems. The thesis, if true, would call for a drastic reorientation of sociological theory and research in the case of social problems. Let me begin with a brief account of the typical way in which sociologists approach the study and analysis of social problems. The approach presumes that a social problem exists as an objective condition or arrangement in the texture of a society. The objective condition or arrangement is seen as having an

Extractions: Monday March 15 2:37 PM ET Mother's smoking tied to son's criminal behavior NEW YORK, Mar 15 (Reuters Health) Smoking during pregnancy appears to play a role in criminal behavior, including violent crime, in men born to smoking mothers, according to a report published in the March issue of Archives of General Psychiatry. Previous studies have linked maternal smoking to juvenile delinquency, but the new study findings ``extended these findings by showing that maternal smoking is related to persistent offending'' throughout adult life,'' write Dr. Patricia A. Brennan, of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and colleagues there and elsewhere. The researchers evaluated data collected on more than 4,100 Danish men born between 1959 and 1961. They compared records indicating maternal smoking to 34 years of data collected in the Danish National Criminal Register. The investigators found an increase in adult arrests corresponding with the level and intensity of maternal prenatal smoking. The association appeared strongest for persistent criminal behavior and remained after researchers allowed for other risk factors for criminal activity, such as socioeconomic status, parental psychiatric hospitalization, and paternal criminal history. The study authors note that their findings confirm previously reported associations between prenatal maternal smoking and adolescent criminal activity, and extend this link to persistent offending through adulthood.
