A Poster Advertising A Reward Offered for the Caputre of Ned Kelly

This paper will serve as a profile of a prison gang of your choice. You will research this gang, its origins, growth, culture and newsworthy incidents. This paper should include the influence gang membership has on inmates, their progress in their sentences, rehabilitation and recidivism.

Bigger perceives Buckley on the poster as pointing and staring directly at him. This poster is a representation of how Bigger experiences the world around him; he is constantly told that he cannot win against the oppressive forces in society and has started to believe it. He cannot hope to “[create] a new life for himself” (Wright 105) because others around him have already defined what his life can and will be; they are completely in control and he is trapped by their definitions. He describes Buckley’s eyes on the poster as following him, showing how he believes whites are staring at him, scrutinizing his every action. The appearance of the poster foreshadows Bigger’s losing battle with white authority, represented by Buckley. This is made significant later when Buckley is the prosecutor during Bigger’s trial; he is there to make sure Bigger does not win, and even forces a confession out of him, confirming Bigger’s guilt. This advertisement serves as a constant reminder for Bigger and other blacks that no matter how hard they try, they cannot win and are not in control of their own lives. Using this kind of an advertisement highlights how the media perpetuates these psychologically damaging

Even though many consider Ned Kelly to be a significant national representative of Australian culture and heroism, the evil deeds that Ned Kelly committed during his life were not forgotten on the 27th of June, 1880. His criminal record was mostly overshadowed by his brave, courageous and loyal traits that won him the love of his people

The "England Expects National Service" poster branches out to every citizen in the Nation to help strengthen the war effort. The large statue of the soldier shows immense pride for the Nation and it persuades those to join the Navy to fufill the expectations of the government. The techniques used in this poster are "bandwagon" and "plain folks". In addition, the use of painting everyday people below the soldier shows that anyone could join and takes more than just one courageous person to make a difference. This poster shows pride for one's country and is very effective at illustrating the fact that ANYONE can help.

Gang crime is one of the most intriguing social phenomena’s across the world, as defining the deviancy has been difficult due to a broad range of definitions (Wood & Alleyne, 2010, pg. 101). One definition is given by David Curry and

Qualitative descriptions suggest that, for many, gang membership represents 104 Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice / May 2005an opportunity to enhance social capital as a means to cope with a multitude of problems. Although on balance gang life appears to be neither very rewarding nor satisfying (Hagedorn, 1988), identification with the gang is solidified in response to conflict—often with other gangs—as members pursue their individual and collective interests.

Ned Kelly is considered to be a folk hero and is remembered as one of Australia’s most significant people because he stood up to corrupt police officers, unfair laws and biased government. Kelly is immortalized in Sidney Nolan’s ‘Ned Kelly’ collection of 27 paintings that re-count his daring exploits with the law. Nolan was sympathetic to this story as he, himself, was a fugitive from the law and, using various Australian landscape scenes as a backdrop, transcended his own conflict onto the canvas to make the series a success.

(Just as a side note, I had pictures of the posters in the original paper but couldn 't transfer them to here. The first link in the bibliography has tons of WW1 propaganda posters you can use.)

Even though gangs provide a sense of support, the "values" instilled in members are horribly dangerous to society. Murders and drive-by shottings go unpunished more often than not in areas like the Henry Horner Homes. Gangs have become powerful enough that high-ranking members who are forced to face the law are protected by high-priced attorneys and investigators (163).

“Gangs have morphed from social organizations into full-fledged criminal enterprises” (Thomas, 2009, para 5). Gangs are highly sophisticated and more dangerous then ever. The number one reason to join a gang is money; and 95 percent of gangs profit comes from drug dealing

Gang members in institutions recruit heavily and forge alliances to strengthen their power base and influence within the prison.

However, the size of posters not only affected legibility and who could own them, it also affected the amount of tax placed upon them. All posters which were to be placed in the streets would be subjected to a government tax. “This was varied according to size; the rate was 6 centimes for the ¼ colombier, 12 centimes for the ½ colombier, 18 for the jesus and the colombier and 24 centimes for all large posters.” (Abdy, 1969, p.171) when this levy was paid, the poster was stamped and approved to be hung in the streets.

Nazi ideology was portrayed in posters as part of Hitler’s plan to reshape German minds into his way of thinking. For example, in poster #2 a smiling, good looking, well-groomed German student is depicted holding a Nazi flag. The young student is regarded in the community because of his education. The poster emphasizes that he is proud to serve Nazi Germany in hopes of influencing other young people to serve in the military. His proud stance suggests that he feels privileged to be carrying a swastika which is the emblem of the German Nazi Party. The student appears to embrace becoming a Nazi by creating a sense of pride in the poster in an effort

The wanted poster is meant to signify all the negativity affiliated with Trump and how much of a negative impact he can have on the community and those around him. A wanted poster is supposed to be meant to catch a dangerous criminal or alert anyone around to be cautious and call the authority right away. At this time we want Trump, but not as a president instead for exactly who he is and what he made himself out to be. Trump wants to become president and with his way of thinking he should be locked up because he’s not really thinking and he’s just irrationally making decisions which will affect each and every one of us. This is a poster we will probably see in the future if he does win the election being that things will become corrupt, market

This meant people in the project could not get rid of the gang, and therefore were subject to its leadership. And the main thing the gang liked to do was tax people. As a car washer, Michael explained it, “he and Kris paid T-Bone (a gang member) 15 percent of their weekly revenue. Just as J.T.’s foot soldiers squeezed a little money from squatters and prostitutes, his higher-ranked officers supplemented their income with more substantial taxes.” (Venkatesh 88). JT and the gang taxed anyone and everyone who worked or lived in the projects. It wasn’t just the gang however; as Ms. Bailey had power as well and also taxed people who lived in the projects. “If you sold food out of your kitchen or took in other peoples children to baby-sit, you’d better give Ms. Bailey a few dollars, or you might find a CHA manager knocking on your door.” (Venkatesh
