Ingrid Katz The DMZ, which runs through Central Vietnam is a place where undisputed violence was unleashed for over a decade in the late sixties and early seventies. During the year that I worked in Vietnam, I often returned to this spot to watch the American Veterans, who would stand at the top of Marble Mountain, withered, with vacant stares out towards the stretch of beach known only to the Americans as China. It was mystifying to consider the sharp contrast that must have seemed all too apparent to them as the sounds of war loomed in their memories and the calm ocean stretched out before them now so serenely. It was then that I first started to consider what causes man to become so enraged as to commit atrocities of the mind, body and soul. Violence - pure and simple, is intrinsic to humanity. It almost goes unnoticed as a way of life in many communities. Drive through North Philadelphia on a spring afternoon and witness what appears to be life disappearing, receding under the concrete and graffiti. Look closer and witness the bullet holes in the walls of homes and cars. Still, there are other communities, such as North Brooklyn, where the rate of crime has been diminishing for the past twenty-five years. It seems, in fact, that violent crime does not behave as predicted. Social scientists have begun to suggest that, in fact, violent crime needs to be viewed much like an infectious disease. Simultaneously, neurobiologists have developed intricate research models and techniques to examine whether or not there are biological triggers that cause individuals to act violently.

Social and Behavioral Sciences Home Criminal Justice Course Information Student Information ... Marist Home Department of Criminal Justice The major in Criminal Justice combines a broad Core/Liberal Arts curriculum with the theory, practice, and experience specific to criminal justice. All courses focus on the study of crime from a variety of perspectives: cause of crime, societal reaction, judicial processing and treatment of offenders, as well as the philosophy and practice of social control and administration of criminal behavior. Emphasis is also placed on critical thinking and problem solving. The curriculum culminates with two senior seminar courses, which bring together all facets of the Marist College undergraduate experience, and the lessons learned in the major. A mandatory six-credit internship enables the Criminal Justice major to experience practical criminal justice from a variety of criminal justice and allied agencies. Internship placements include the range of federal, state, and local agencies. While being exposed to experiences in both the classroom and the practical world, students are assisted in making informed career choices. Major curriculum completion, coupled with all Core/Liberal Arts requirements, leads to the Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. A minor in Criminal Justice is also available.

23. Drug Abuse: Causes The causes of Drug Abuse. Since the drinking behavior is initiated, its fixation earlyadulthood; usually associated with criminal behavior; lesser possibility http://www.epub.org.br/cm/n08/doencas/drugs/abuse05_i.htm

DRUG ABUSE The Causes of Drug Abuse I nvestigations show that some alcoholics begin to drink due to social pressures or in response to stressing situations in their lives. Since the drinking behavior is initiated, its fixation is conditioned by the alcohol-induced psychophysiological reward. Contrariwise other alcoholics seem to be driven to use and abuse alcoholic beverages by an internal compulsion. Types of Alcoholism Type I Occurs both in men and women; requires both genetic and environmental influences; begins fairly late in life; greater possibility of recovery. Type 2 Occurs primarily in men; overwhelmingly genetic in origin; begins during adolescence or early adulthood; usually associated with criminal behavior; lesser possibility of recovering. It seems that the same happens in relation to other psychoactive substances. Genetic and inborn factors as well as learned and acquired factors for the drug abuse can thus be identified. The influence of genetic factors on alcoholism was already anticipated in ancient times. Plutarch stated that "drunkards beget drunkards". In his book "Alcohol and the addictive brain", Kenneth Blum summarizes the results of decades of studies about genetics vs. alcoholism stressing that: Monozygotics twins of alcoholics are at significantly higher risk of developing alcoholism than dizygotic twins.

24. Causes And Consequences Of Violent Behavior Discussed At Harvard Club Protecting Our Children the causes and Consequences of school environment, and typeof community interact to contribute to delinquency and criminal behavior. http://freeinfo.org/tch/spring97/articles/harviols.html

At the Harvard Club: Causes and Consequences of Violent Behavior by Irma S. Jarcho "Protecting Our Children: the Causes and Consequences of Violent Behavior" was the focus of a presentation on 7 May 1997 sponsored by the staff of the Harvard School of Public Health at the Harvard Club in New York City. New York Times correspondent Fox Butterfield spoke about his personal investigations, chiefly of Willy Bosket, now published in All God's Children: The Bosket Family and the American Tradition of Violence (Knopf, New York, 1995); and Felton J. Earls, M.D., Professor of Human Behavior and Development at the School, discussed the work of the Project on Human Development in Chicago. Butterfield pointed out that for Willy Bosket violence was something to be proud of. In second grade he was expelled for violent behavior and sent to Bellevue. Before he was 15 he had been sent to more than 20 institutions but nowhere did he stay long nobody wanted him. Then he murdered two men on the subway. He is now in solitary confinement for life; and because he has stabbed and beat guards, he is also behind glass. The question which motivated Butterfield's investigations was "What made Willy so violent and so unrepentant about it?" Butterfield was able to gain Bosket's confidence and embarked on a study not only of Bosket himself but also of his background and parentage. He found that Willy's father had also murdered before he was 15 and was also subject to long incarceration. Indeed, he was the only man who ever graduated from college Phi Bate Kappa while at Leavenworth.

25. Causes Of Rape The causes of rape are many. criminals, punish the crime, but also understand theroot of the problem and change the conditions that lead to criminal behavior. http://www.backlash.com/book/rape6.html

What Every Man Should Know About Feminist Issues: Rape Causes of Rape by Rod Van Mechelen Identifying the cause of a problem, as most of us know, is half the solution. To prevent rape, we need to know what causes someone to rape. For pop-feminists, there is one simple answer only men rape, only men are the problem, therefore the solution is to control men. It should be obvious, however, that like all bigotted viewpoints, this oversimplifies both the problem and the solution. The causes of rape are many. Ignoring them is like attempting to control an infestation of rodents by building a better mousetrap. Catching more mice is only a part of the answer. Understanding the conditions that allow them to reproduce in greater numbers, and then eradicating or controling those conditions, is the rest of it. The same is true of rape. Catch the criminals, punish the crime, but also understand the root of the problem and change the conditions that lead to criminal behavior. Like the crime Susan Brownmiller called "date rape." Lust as a Cause of Rape Pop-feminists dismiss the idea sexual passion can be a motive for rape. They believe it is impossible for any woman to provoke an overpowering libidinal response in some men.

26. Summary And Conclusions: Marihuana And Crime To put it still another way, to believe that marihuana causes criminal, violent,aggressive or delinquent behavior is to confuse the effects of the drug with http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/library/studies/nc/nc1m.htm

Sign the Resolution for a Federal Commission on Drug Policy Contents Feedback Search ... Marihuana, A Signal of Misunderstanding The Report of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse Summary and Conclusions: Marihuana and Crime The Commission's review of the available evidence bearing on the relationship between marihuana use and criminal, aggressive and delinquent behavior has yielded the following information. The once prevalent belief among the general public and the professional law enforcement, criminal justice and research communities that marihuana causes crime, violence, aggression and delinquency has moderated appreciably over the years. Recent evidence indicates that increased attention has been devoted, instead, to a possible statistical correlation rather than a cause-effect relationship. At present, however, considerable confusion and uncertainty exists among both the general and professional publics, among youth and adults, and among marihuana users and non-users about the relationship between marihuana and criminal, aggressive or delinquent behavior. The confusion and uncertainty stem from a general lack of knowledge and understanding about the effects of the drug, including its potential for physical addiction. Many persons are still under the misapprehension that marihuana is addicting and that crimes are committed in order to support a drug "habit." In general, recent changes in public and professional opinion have corresponded with and reflected the increased use of marihuana, particularly within the middle class segment of society; more direct observation of and professional experience with the marihuana user; new and more enlightened information about the drug and its effects; and concomitant changes in the public image of the user.

27. Marijuana And Hemp Story Prohibition Causes Harm (Page 8 Of 10) Prohibition is the number one cause of America s exploding prison population. tobaccois accepted, but adult use of marijuana is considered criminal behavior. http://www.cannabis.com/untoldstory/hemp_8.shtml

DOES PROHIBITION CAUSE MORE HARM THAN MARIJUANA? Recently, narcotics officers raided the house of a suspected marijuana dealer in Wisconsin. The unarmed suspect, who offered no resistance, was shot to death in front of his 7-year-old son . His crime? Possession of 1 ounce of marijuana. In Oklahoma, a wheelchair-bound paraplegic who used medicinal marijuana to control muscle spasms caused by his broken back was sentenced to 10 years in prison . His crime? Possession of 2 ounces of marijuana. Another Oklahoma man is serving 75 years in prison for growing only 5 marijuana plants. (These are not misprints.) Prohibition is the number one cause of America's exploding prison population. Many non-violent drug offenders are now serving longer prison sentences than murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals. It costs taxpayers $30,000 per year to imprison just one non-violent drug offender. Politicians are spending billions of tax dollars to build new prisons and jails so more and more non-violent drug offenders can be warehoused. Meanwhile, funding for education and other services are being strained. Reducing drug abuse is a desirable goal, but law enforcement methods used to obtain that goal are counterproductive. Prohibition costs billions to enforce, creates a black market that generates violence and corruption, and makes criminals out of millions of productive and harmless adults. Adult use of alcohol and tobacco is accepted, but adult use of marijuana is considered criminal behavior. Why?

28. Free Will supernatural powers, or material causes as the questions about human responsibilityfor moral behavior. of responsibility for moral and criminal behavior. http://skepdic.com/freewill.html

Robert Todd Carroll SkepDic.com Click to order from Amazon free will Free will is probably located in the pre-frontal cortex, and we may even be able to narrow it down to the ventromedial pre-frontal cortex. Stephen Pinker Free will is a concept in traditional philosophy used to refer to the belief that human behavior is not absolutely determined by external causes, but is the result of choices made by an act of will by the agent. Such choices are themselves not determined by external causes, but are determined by the motives and intentions of the agent, which themselves are not absolutely determined by external causes. Traditionally, those who deny the existence of free will look to fate, supernatural powers, or material causes as the determinants of human behavior. Free will advocates, or libertarians, as they are sometimes called, believe that while everything else in the universe may be the inevitable consequence of external forces, human behavior is unique and is determined by the agent, not by God or the stars or the laws of nature. The traditional concept of free will enters the mainstream of Western Philosophy in metaphysical questions about human responsibility for moral behavior. Many modern debates about free will are often couched in terms of responsibility for moral and criminal behavior. In the Christian tradition, which has framed the issues surrounding free will, the belief hinges on a metaphysical belief in non-physical reality. The will is seen as a faculty of the soul or mind, which is understood as standing outside of the physical world and its governing laws. Hence, for many, a belief in materialism is taken to imply a denial of free will.

29. CHEMICAL IMBALANCES AND CRIMINAL VIOLENCE the basic causes of violence and antisocial behavior. still debate whether the predominantcause is psychological progress is the fact that criminal violence is http://www.nutrition4health.org/NOHAnews/NNSp88CriminalImbalenceWalsh.htm

CHEMICAL IMBALANCES AND CRIMINAL VIOLENCE by William J. Walsh, PhD, President, Health Research Institute For centuries, research aimed at reducing the incidence of criminal violence has largely failed. Literally hundreds of psychoanalytic techniques, behavior modification systems, and experimental drug therapies have been attempted, and none has proven to be effective. The sad truth is that most violent criminals become recidivists, whether they participate in rehabilitation programs or not. Society simply doesn’t know how to remediate its criminal population, and the national trend is toward longer sentences and increased application of the death penalty. Criminologists still debate whether the predominant cause is psychological, sociological, biological, or something else. Another barrier to progress is the fact that criminal violence is not a single condition, but rather a diverse set of afflictions. The lack of progress in combating crime and violence has resulted from several factors. First and foremost, there is no clear understanding of the basic causes of violence and antisocial behavior. Criminologists still debate whether the predominant cause is psychological, sociological, biological, or something else. Another barrier to progress is the fact that criminal violence is not a single condition, but rather a diverse set of afflictions. The inadequacy of classification methods for separating criminals into appropriate groups has hindered progress over a century.

31. What Is To Blame For Youth Violence? powerful in shaping behavior. However, there are very few studiesof whether exposure to media violence causes criminal behavior. http://www.center4policy.org/violencej.html

March 2001 What is to Blame for Youth Violence?: The Media, Guns, Parenting, Poverty, Bad Programs, Or Diana Zuckerman, Ph.D. The first-ever Surgeon General's report on youth violence was recently released by Dr. David Satcher, a Clinton appointee who still holds his position in the Bush Administration. The report hardly made a ripple in the public debate, but what caught my attention was the press reports regarding what wasn't in the report, rather than what was. In a press conference when the report was released, Dr. Satcher was asked about media violence, and he responded that the media is not a major influence on youth violence. As someone who has read dozens of studies and reports about the impact of media violence on children and society, I was surprised to hear this. It sounded eerily like a recent report on ABC's 20/20 claiming that media violence does not cause violence and may actually be good for kids. But what about the voluminous stack of research reports on the impact of media violence on youth? When a TV news magazine claims that TV violence is not dangerous, I don't take it too seriously, but the Surgeon General's report was a different matter. More importantly, I wondered how parents and others would respond to the "news." This article takes a careful look at the new report, the 20/20 story, and the research on media violence, and tries to figure out what is going on.

33. There Are Many Reasons And Theories As To What Causes Crime In Society not limited to psychological, sociological, and biological causes. This type ofbehavior is best portrayed society by engaging in criminal behavior in order http://webpages.marshall.edu/~brunty11/index2essays.htm

There are many reasons and theories as to what causes crime in society. Many argue that crime is a biological response, and others argue that crime is explained through psychological reasoning. However, I believe that crime is a balanced mixture of all aspects including but not limited to: psychological, sociological, and biological causes. From the beginning of time crime has been influenced by the environment that one lives in. I believe that in our society today, environment is the most influential in determining crime occurrence. For example, theories based on blocked opportunity, which state that crime occurs within members of communities who cannot obtain the “American Dream” and therefore resort to crime in order to earn social status and/or to supposedly better themselves. This type of behavior is best portrayed in inner cities with the concept of gangs. Moreover, crime is also influenced strongly by sociological influences that can manipulate criminals to commit certain crimes. For example, many teenagers and children today commit crimes mainly because of pressure from other peers. This committing of crimes by teenagers could be considered as an escape or reaction formation in order to escape the pressure and demands in the daily life of many teens and children. Likewise, adults fall to the pressure of society by engaging in criminal behavior in order to provide an escape from the “measuring rod” of society.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Implications for the Criminal Justice System By Sam Goldstein, Ph.D. Though much remains to be learned, research has provided the criminal justice community practical insights into Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Dr. Goldstein is a clinical instructor at the University of Utah School of Medicine in Salt Lake City. Interaction between the mental health and criminal justice professions traditionally occurs over issues such as a defendant's claim of temporary insanity or overt mental disorders exhibited by criminal offenders. Recently, however, professionals in these two fields have begun to explore a broader range of behavioral disorders that could bring individuals into contact with the criminal justice system. This article focuses on one set of temperamental qualities that occur in a small but significant group of people. The mental health community refers to these qualities under the diagnostic description Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).1 Because individuals with ADHD come into contact with the criminal justice system at a statistically higher rate than others in the general population,2 criminal justice officials, including police administrators, should be aware of the implications ADHD has for the profession. UNDERSTANDING ADHD Problems characterized as attention disorders and hyperactivity have long constituted the most chronic childhood behavioral disorders and the largest sources of referral to child mental health centers.3 Moreover, the diagnosis of ADHD among children and adolescents is increasing consistently. In 1993, nearly 2 million children and adolescents were diagnosed or being treated for ADHD.4 It appears that this number will continue to rise in the years to come.

The criminology program focuses on crime as a social phenonmenon and the causes of criminal behavior. The major provides an overview of institutions, issues and causes of crime, and social control; it also offers a strong foundation in liberal arts, a basic knowledge of behavioral sciences, and a strong professional growth potential for those pursuing a career in criminology or the criminal justice system. Many criminology majors enter law, law enforcement, corrections and other social service careers or graduate school. The criminology program is not training police officers, but rather is a liberal arts B.A. degree program offered through the College of Liberal Arts.
