Week 3 DQ 1 Child or Adult?

Determining whether to try a

child in the juvenile or the
criminal justice system will
have an impact on every step
of his or her experience.
 Although the exact laws and
practices of the systems vary
from state to state, broad
underlying beliefs
differentiate the two systems.
While the juvenile system is
often thought to be more
lenient in its punishments,
there are often stricter
regulations throughout the
process. In the juvenile
system a child may not have a
right to a jury trial or bail.
Juvenile records are not open
to public access like criminal
records and parole is very
different between the two
systems. When the child in
question is considered a
child, the courts act as more
of a parent attempting to
punish but also protect.
Week 3 DQ 2 Relationships in
Prison

Womens relationships in prison commonly

fulfill an emotional need. They are different
from mens sexual relationships in prison in
that they are less likely to involve coercion or
be motivated by power and status grabs. In
addition to romantic relationships, female
inmates are also likely to form prison families
with roles that mimic mothers, sisters, and
even grandmothers. For many inmates, their
prison family is the first positive female role
modeling they have encountered.

Week 5 DQ 1 School
Shootings

As we learn in the readings, media reports of

school crime tend to create misconceptions of
a danger that is actually quite small for the
overwhelming majority of school users. In fact,
given the number of students, teachers, and
other personnel in schools on any given day, it
is quite astounding how few violent episodes
there are. To track violence in schools, read
the US Department of Justice and US
Department of Education report, Indicators of
School Crime and Safety: 2011. After reading
the report, please address each of the
following:

site, with proper citation. Tell us why this
statistic surprised you, confirmed your
belief, etc.
2.In 81% of violent, targeted school attacks,
at least one person knew someone was
conceiving of or planning an attack. In
most cases no one came forward with this
information. Why do you think this is?
3.What are some significant differences
between on-campus crime and crime in the
general population?

preventing school and workplace violence.

changed as a result of this research?
4.What problems come with privatizing
traditional government services like
incarceration, military work, or policing?
