Activity Patterns In Juveniles

Isbell and Wright’s articles both focus on monkey species and their native environments, Africa for Isbell’s (1994) vervet Old World monkey and South America, Peru area, for Wright’s (1994) owl and titis monkeys. The articles main focus is the relationship between these monkeys and their natural predators. Focusing on how the predator aspect of their lives is determined by their environment and adaptations they make to ensure survival. Isbell’s Vervets Year of Doom focuses more on the adaptations that was forced upon the vervets’ because of their changing environment, the death of fever trees. While Wright’s Night Watch on the Amazon focusses more on how the primates way of life affects their relationship with predators and the likelihood of attacks. Both articles have similar aspects however the species way of life, specifically their environment and sleep schedule, are quite different as well as the authors way of observing and studying the primates within their habitats.

This paper will address and summarize four different points from the juvenile arrests bulletin from 2001. Such points included in the summary are the overall decrease in juvenile arrests, the increase in drug offenses and simple assaults, implications for juvenile females and minorities, and last an assessment of the tracking of juvenile arrests as a method of measuring the amount of and trends in juvenile crime.

"Sport" hunting is a violent form of recreation that has left countless animals maimed, and orphaned animals vulnerable to starvation, exposure, and predation. This activity disrupts natural animal population dynamics and has contributed to the extinction of animal species all over the world, including the Tasmanian tiger and the great auk.(1,2)

At 0700 hours on May 24, 2016, I, Cpl. Lessane, with the Hampton County Sheriff’s Office, responded to Hampton Regional Medical Center, in the county of Hampton, in regards to a juvenile being assaulted at Estill Middle School. Upon arrival, I spoke with Rosezenna Stafford, who stated her adopted juvenile, was assaulted by another juvenile inside of a classroom at Estill Middle School. She advised the juvenile did sustain some injuries in his head area. Juvenile was checked out by the Emergency Room Doctor. Deputy Troy, School Resource Officer was advised of this incident.

On Friday, March 31, a observation study was conducted at the L.A. Zoo. The time of arrival for the observation was at 11:48 am and the end of the observation was at 2:42 pm. The weather condition at the zoo was very sunny with a mild gust of wind every so often, which is a perfect weather condition to conduct a study. The main reason for conducting this observation study was to study and gather information about the many different types of primate that are located at the zoo. To see how different or similar each primate is to one anotherin different aspects.

Role model: Staff should give good example all times and simple actions such as saying please and thank

For the entire observation, Leon watched the interaction of Diane, Jessica, and Junior, as he rested in the same spot his head and eyes followed their movements. All primates in the enclosure seemed to wander out to sit in the sun or find a pinecone and then return to Leon’s side to rest. Even Junior, the rambunctious three-year-old roamed about the enclosure for small periods of time and then returned to be next to Leon. In addition, during a period there is a pinecone next to Leon as he lays there and junior still ventures out to find one of his own when a human child would have just grabbed the closest one. If Leon didn’t have all the characteristics of dominance such as size, age, strength and the well-known Silverback coloration; these acts alone would suggest his dominance over the group and the hierarchy of their

INDIANAPOLIS - Detectives have arrested a 15-year-old juvenile suspect alleged to have robbed 7 area Metro and Boost Mobile cell phone stores. The suspect faces nearly 30 criminal charges, to include Criminal Confinement, Pointing a Firearm, and Robbery.

In America there is a problem with juveniles who has mental health issues receiving the help that they need in order to progress. Mental heath problems are usually frowned upon in society. Many individuals who have the mental deficit get often closely associated with behavioral issues. The attitudes and social norms behind the way in which we handle situations of juveniles being mentally incompetent and not receiving the help they need because they get thrown in jail instead of being rehabilitated. The statistics behind the referrals of the juveniles suggests that they are not receiving the help that they need in order to progress. Based on a study taken to see how many of the juveniles was actually receiving the care needed, the results were, there are 69% of juveniles that have a mental health deficit in the juvenile detention center and has not been referred to a psychological facility, even when they fit the criteria.

“Hands up, don’t shoot”, “I can’t breathe”, “16 shots”, and “black lives matter”. Theses chants have been heard yelled at the top of the lungs of people no matter if they are young or old, white or black, religious or atheistic in many protests. But these are more than just chants trying to reach the world they are the breath of a movement. With that breath we will see the background of the movement, the process of uplifting the community as a whole, unifying the movement, and how I think it should be done.

Serious crimes in the United States can be best defined as murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, burglary, assault, arson, and or larceny-theft. Imagine your 15 years old and just killed a family member, but it was to protect your 4 year old sibling. Now in court your pleading guilty to manslaughter and tried as an adult and sentenced to 90 years without parole. Now your entire life is over within a matter of months. In another instead you got 5 years in prison, 20 years of parole and manslaughter, and goes on your record. Now you have a criminal record and you probably won’t ever be able to get a job. This isn't fair because you didn't kill them because you didn't like them or because they did something to hurt you, they are your family after

In a time where the environment is experiencing significant change, it is important that certain communities and individuals be informed of what is occurring. This said environmental change can be observed in the way the seasons affect organisms and their habitat, which leads to an impact on their predator-prey relationships. This relationship between the California mountain lion, mule deer, and coyote that live at Wind Wolves preserve is being studied, along with their seasons. These animals can live in separate regions, but do have overlapping territories. Three of which being Twin Fawn, Site 1, and Site 2. Their environment can change how a predator hunts or how a often or long a prey appears at a certain location.

My hypothesis was that, “If the Ring Tailed Lemur spends a third of their time on the ground foraging for food, then if we study them for an hour in captivity, they should spend approximately the same amount of time foraging for food.” This hypothesis was proven correct by the data of the Ring Tailed Lemurs at the Bronx Zoo. The lemurs at the zoo spent around one third of the time on the ground. The amount of time that the lemurs spent on the ground was 33% of the time that the lemurs were on the ground. In the Bronx Zoo the lemurs spent thirteen thirty sixths of their time which is 36% of their time on the ground. Even in captivity the Ring Tailed Lemurs spent most of the time in the trees and less time on the ground foraging for food.

The study by Viljoen et al. (2012) has been alluded to in reference to their findings on the J-SOAP-II, the ERASOR 2.0, and the JSORRAT. This study consisted of a meta-analysis on 33 different studies, which examined not only the three aforementioned tools, but also the previously discussed adult risk tool, the STATIC-99 (Viljoen et al., 2012). In its scope of studies, the meta-analysis captured over 6000 adolescent male offenders, primarily Caucasian; with an average age was 16; and a follow-up period for recidivism data ranging from 12-120 months (Viljoen et al., 2012). This is a large study, which included several tools and looked specifically at juvenile risk assessment tools.

Through an understanding of causes of juvenile delinquency society may come to deal preventively with delinquency; certainly treatment of the offender needs to be based upon an understanding of the causal mechanisms that have produced him. In this paper we'll describe three theories of juvenile delinquency such as Social Learning Theory, General Strain Theory and Behavioral Theory and discuss appropriate preventive programs based upon these theories.
