An Analysis Of Justice, Parent And Child Relationships, And Self-Esteem

In Touching Spirit Bear Cole says, “In death there was no control, no anger, no one to blame, no choices, no nothing.” Cole kept showing that he wanted to live and change, even after the mauling. In addition, Cole shows many more acts of survival, in order to survive.

To start with, Cole’s actions throughout the book majorly affected how he turns out at the end of the book. In this part of the book, Cole had burnt down his small hut and had tried to escape the island. After he failed, the Spirit Bear came showed up and Cole got angry and went to attack the bear. “When Cole’s advance brought him within ten feet of the Spirit Bear, he made his move. He flung the spear with all his strength, fully intending to kill. A blur of white motion deflected the shaft down into the grass as the bear lunged” (65). A few pages later when Cole is laying down on the ground after the bear attack the book says, “Cole grunted angrily-he didn’t want to die yet. Yes, someday that would be part of his circle. Someday he would lie in his own waste and be eaten by maggots. But not now!” (85). These quotes show how Cole’s actions affect him in the future because the action taught Cole that he was

The research done for this paper examines different studies of juveniles and their place in the United States’ justice system based on their race, gender, and social class, as well as looks into policing tactics that may be beneficial to the affected youths. By looking at a wide variety of academic journals and books it was clear to see that youths are looked upon and treated differently depending on what their race is, the sex that they were born, or their family’s economic standing. Resulting in the outcome of these youths being treated more harshly than others due to aspects about themselves that are out of their control. Doing further research into the juvenile justice system and how it is structured to help certain youths while neglecting others, it is clear that the treatment of minority youths is entirely unjust and that a reform of this system is, without question, necessary, not only to maintain an even and fair justice system for juveniles, but also to help these minority youths strive in their lifetime rather than fall victim to a life of crime.

While The Little Book of Restorative Justice for Colleges and Universities has many merits it also posses some off-putting weaknesses. Karp opens his work up for criticism and makes it less likely to be accepted or seen as a serious alternative to the traditional disciplinary systems with the inclusion of frivolous illustrations and talks of the spiritual. The Little Book also lacks much evidence outside of personal testimony or the authors own reasoning —while that can be strong evidence, empirical evidence have a place in this discussion.

Finding a new way to deal with criminal issues for young adults is very rare, especialy in a predomenatly impoverished area. So to be a part of the Restorative Justice Research team was an honor, also very insightful. At first I knew only a brief description about restorative justice being used in a way of restoring small issues not applying it to a more serious incidents such as criminal justice. I looked at it as harm causing problems were as justice repairs a partial amount of the problem. For this project however, it was way more than just rebuilding but a way to bring justice in a creative way that can not only benefit people who have done crimes but help repair community thoughts and views in the process.

What do you believe each writer’s stronger topic to be? The topic the writers choose is very interesting and it is a current issue in our criminal justice system. The writer have chooses a very interesting topic would be able to find valuable sources and evidences that show how effective a restorative justice program would be for juveniles. Also, the writer would be able to find arguments that are against or for restorative justice program for first-time juveniles’ offenders.

At the beginning of the book, Cole wanted everything to be afraid of him, and when some things (the Spirit Bear) weren’t, his anger would take over. He would get angry at the littlest

To support my reason number one , i don't believe circle justice is good for cole . I feel this way because cole is just going to escape. What's the point of stranding him if he will just escape? In a jail he would have more security with guards and all that. Cole is already planning his escape “ cole discovered that high tide occurred midday and began flowing out of the bay within an hour ( Michaelsen 63).” Cole’s escape plan was

One day, Cole goes to confront the Spirit Bear with his newly made weapon (a stone spear). This is a mistake. Cole tries to attack it, but it ends up brutally mauling Cole and leaving him on the ground mortally wounded. As he is lying on the ground, unable to move, he finally realizes that his life has been insignificant since the very beginning. He desperately wants to be “accepted

This article is a critical examination of the role of race across multiple stages in juvenile court outcomes based on peck and Jennings study on the mistreatment of black offenders in the juvenile court system.

To me the criminal justice system allows people to grow along with their job. In this system the older you get the more knowledge you gain about the whole system.

The criminal justice system views any crime as a crime committed against the state and places much emphasis on retribution and paying back to the community, through time, fines or community work. Historically punishment has been a very public affair, which was once a key aspect of the punishment process, through the use of the stocks, dunking chair, pillory, and hangman’s noose, although in today’s society punishment has become a lot more private (Newburn, 2007). However it has been argued that although the debt against the state has been paid, the victim of the crime has been left with no legal input to seek adequate retribution from the offender, leaving the victim perhaps feeling unsatisfied with the criminal justice process.

At this point try to pick just one idea that you would really like to write about. I suggest you trust your intuition on this one. Your mind may suggest you write about something because it makes sense, but your heart may point to another idea because your real interests lie there. Go with your heart! You’ll write a better book and enjoy doing it if you listen to your heart.

Over the decades, the concept of justice has been continually evolving. This is occurring based upon different moral or legal interpretations. Evidence of this can be seen with observations from Burke (2011) who said, "Few things are of more importance to a society than its concept of justice. This is because it is justice that provides criterion for the legitimate use of force. In the name of justice people are detained, arrested, handcuffed, put on trial and punished. This concept is used to provide every society with some kind of social order. Over the last 200 years, a revolution has taken place with these principles. Our idea of it is what we employ, when dealing with ordinary individuals in daily life including: making agreements, paying bills, resolving disputes and putting criminals in jail. This is a concept that is as old as recorded history and it is familiar to people everywhere. What makes it so unique is that these ideas are constantly changing which focuses on society as a whole and how people are interacting with each other. " (Burke)

Restorative justice is concerned with healing victims' wounds, restoring offenders to law-abiding lives, and repairing harm done to interpersonal relationships and the community. It seeks to involve all stakeholders and provide opportunities for those most affected by the crime to be directly involved in the process of responding to the harm caused”. The Rwanda government has suffered a tremendous violent act in the loss of their two major ethnic groups that consisted of the Hutu and Tutsi. The large scale of mass murder caused millions of orphans and un-circumscribable agony to a country that has yet to be restored and healed. After such tragic events of rape, torture and decapitation to innocent people, the widespread of horror still is
