Activity 1 Habits And People

Since Kemper is a criminal, it is befitting to mold him around a criminological theory to connect his experiences with other criminals. The Routine Activities Theory, or RAT, describes that the three essential components for a crime to occur is that there must a motivated offender, a suitable target, and a lack of capable guardians. It is quite evident that all three components were present in all the different murders Kemper committed. When he killed his grandmother, he was motivated to see how it felt to kill someone, his grandmother was none the wiser, and his grandfather was not home yet (Greig, 2012). Therefore, the opportunity presented itself for Kemper’s first murder to take place. Deep seated anger that also contained a fearful love was a motivator for him to kill his mother (Leyton, 1989). His mother was most likely not expecting to be killed by her son with a hammer on Easter weekend, so the target was there and no one was there to stop him, so another opportunity presented itself again (Greig, 2012).

I have found that self-assessments tend to be somewhat unreliable because people tend to be too hard or too easy on themselves. With this is mind, I tried to really take an honest look at my strengths and weakness when filling out the Seven Habits Profile. I consider myself to be the quintessential “People Person” and I did see that reflected in my results.

Habit as defined in Webster’s as a: a behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance b : an acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary (Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online, 2011). Behavior is the manner of conducting oneself or anything that an organism does involving action and response to stimulation. In everyday life habits are formed and intertwined with ones behavior. People are often associated with the way they behave

Keystone habit is a change of a behavior that can form other positive habits. It creates a chain reaction on the way we live our life. Based on “Habits as Change Levers” by Daniel Denison and Levi Nieminen, the authors give an example on how changing keystone habit can affect other habit and be advantageous.

The first habit Sean Convey lists of the seven is “Be Proactive.” This habit made an impact on me because it sends a message that I try to take into account everyday, but haven’t one-hundred percent fulfilled. The habit, “Be Proactive” is important because it says that you are in full control of your life, your decisions and your attitude. A quote that Convey adds to support this message is, “You can not control what happens to you, but you can control how you react.” You choose everyday to be proactive or reactive. Reactive people act solely on impulse, whereas proactive people think before they act, make decisions based on their values, and always find a way to move forward. Habit #1 is important because it teaches readers to take initiative, be proactive rather than reactive, and to not let others

There are a vast number of issues concerning child exploitation from the actions of the offender and the victim. Child exploitation is a complex issue that does not have one simple solution; this crime is nothing new, but technology is allowing it to evolve. Child exploitation is moving from sending child pornography through the postal service and targeting only children an offender has close proximity to. Technology and the Internet have widened the opportunities for offenders and have allowed for potentially ay juvenile to become victimized. The recommendations will focus on targeting key issues presented in the Routine Activities Theory; limiting a motivated offender, making targets unsuitable, and creating capable guardians online.

There are similarities and differences when analyzing the components of biological and humanistic approaches to personality. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs express important aspects of biological factors that approaches personality.

After the recession in Blueville, the violent crime rate increased by __% and similarly the property crime rate increased by __%. The increase in both property and violent crime can be explained using the routine activities theory. Routine activities theory states that crime is a normal function of everyday life and is a result of the interaction between a suitable target, an absence of a capable guardian, and a motivated criminal. A suitable target is someone or something that are vulnerable and desirable to the offender. A target is chosen as suitable by the criminal and as a result the idea of a suitable target varies from person to person. However, a suitable target can often be found in areas that are dark, secluded or lack surveillance

In a time of war, when people are needy and weak, what worked rather well for the Nazi party to get its country back in shape was propaganda. Before World War 2 (1933-1938), the Nazis used propaganda to brainwash their citizens into believing that Germany was the best country, to create anti-Semitism. After losing the first great war which caused a major depression in the state, Nazi’s used Jewish people as a scapegoat for Germany's suffering economy and poor moral. This idea of using propaganda against the Jews tied into the Nazi ideology. Nazi ideology came to be after Adolf Hitler and others created the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP)”(Alpha History 1). They called this ideology that they developed ‘National Socialism’, which is now called Nazism today. This ideology was the centerpiece that the Nazi Party moved around. However, The NSDAP didn’t have a very clear expression of its ideology, the only documents that had concrete evidence were the Twenty Five points (1920), and Hitler's journal, Mein Kampf (1924). (Alpha History 1). The core beliefs of the Nazi party are as shown: “Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism, Nationalism, Militarism, Expansionism, Economic sovereignty, Traditional values, and Racialism” (BBC 1-2). The effective use of propaganda; which is “Defined as: information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc” (Dictionary.com), was one of the main reasons the Nazi

Once upon a time in a little town called Rabun County there were two girls, Lia and Tiffany. The two were completely different. Tiffany was shy, nerdy and awkward. Lia was bold, popular, and very social. Little did the two girls know that one terrible relationship could bring two people so close together, especially the ones they never expected.

The two most common theoretical approaches that have informed offender rehabilitation efforts in dealing with acquisitive offenders are Felson’s (1994) Routine Activity Theory and Clarke and Felson’s (1993) Rational Choice Prospective Theory, which both take the approach of crime prevention

In 1979, Lawrence E. Cohen and Marcus Felson published “Social Change and Crime Rate Trends: A Routine Activities Approach”; this was the first paper introducing routine activities theory. Most criminological theories before routine activities theory focused more specifically on the socioeconomic factors affecting crime such as poverty, race, etc. Felson and Marcus believed instead that the routine activities of individuals and groups are the driving force behind crime.
