Case Study Long Beach Lqbtqia

The first empirical study that I will be reviewing is the Orange County Juvenile Drug Court (OCJDC) located in Orange County, California between 1999 and 2006 (Fradella, Fischer, Kleinpeter, & Koob, 2009). This study consists of 232 teenagers (164 males and 68 females) with the age of these individuals ranging between 12 and 17 years (Fradella et al., 2009). In this study, researchers attempt to understand why Latino teenagers were graduating from drug treatment court (DTC) at a much lower rate than rest of the teenagers at the same institution (Fradella et al., 2009). In the Orange County Juvenile Drug Court, 97% of the offenders are Latino or Caucasian (Fradella et al., 2009). However, Latinos were graduating at a rate of

It is not unusual to see very young people sentenced to lengthy prison terms for crimes they commit when they are teenagers or very young adults. Transitional age youth (TAY) are young people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four who are in transition from state custody or foster care and are at-risk. Once they turn 18 they can no longer receive assistance from the systems of care that previously provided for many of their needs (Wilens & Rosenbaum, 2013). Katie Galloway, a producer of “The Return”, says studies show that most people age out of criminal behavior by the time they reach age 35. Between the time of being a teenager and reaching age 25 is when a lot of us have made our worst decisions. She goes on to say “when those decisions intersect with class and race disparities, you are left with a bad situation for a huge swath of young people who then realize the error of their ways.” ("3 Strikes and You're Out, 2016). The Bazelon Center for Mental Health states that there are more than three million transitional age youths who have been diagnosed with a mental illness. Transitional age youths who have mental illness are three times more likely to commit crimes than those without mental illness. They need help, not imprisonment (Facts on Transitional, n.d.). With treatment, job training and counseling, they would more likely become productive members of society instead

Out of the 316 million people in the United States of America, nine million of them relate as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning collectively known as LGBTQ. This makes up about four percent of the population and while this may seem like a small number, the LGBTQ equal rights movement is as big as ever. While there are many fronts to fight in the war for equal rights, the major points I will be discussing are the history of LGBTQ fight for equal rights, marriage rights and equality, and the mistreatment of LGBTQ youth in regards to bullying in schools, homelessness, and depression/suicide.

If youth with incarcerated household members experienced more social and economic adversity and worse school outcomes than the rest of the sample.

A few solutions to this issue is to make sure that the LGBTQ youths have access to safe havens that are tailored to them, with properly trained

The prison system manipulates the system by creating a flow of inmates by categorizing minority youths. e.g. In more run-down

High Incarceration rates seen to have become a typical and predicable part of early adulthood for many black men in the United States. Research has also proven that low wages, unemployment, family instability, and restrictions on social rights of minorities have been linked to higher rates of incarceration. The risks of a prison sentence are correlated with education. One study shows that sixty percent of people that did not finish high school and around thirty percent

The preferred sample size for this study would be 15% of each state's community corrections population. This study will require state-by-state comparisons of various laws and practices; therefore, sorting demographics by states is essential to determine the number of how many individuals are impacted. In addition, the sum total of these numbers would be approximately 680,000 participants, which should be a fairly manageable number. For data to be the most impactful the samples will be proportional to the number of probationers and parolees of each race e.g, if half of Texas’s community corrections population is white, half of those chosen for the sample will be white. There is a socioeconomic dimension to the study which cannot be addressed without looking at race and choosing samples based on this may reveal relevant data on patterns or trends on members of the population that may be disproportionately affected.

Mallett, Christopher A (2014), conducted a study on the learning disabilities to juvenile detention. The study was conducted to review the outcomes for a population of 433 youthful delinquents in two juvenile courts in the Midwest. The study was found that youthful delinquents with learning disabilities were more likely to be suspended from school, were adjudicated delinquent at younger ages, and were more frequently held in detention centers when compared with nondisabled youthful delinquents. These outcomes were all risk factors for ongoing delinquent behaviors and, for some, eventual adult criminal court involvement. It was recommended that the juvenile courts continue to shift toward a rehabilitative progammes in working with this more vulnerable offender samples, including increased use of social workers.

Children considered “high risk” are children who are more susceptible to crime due to their low rates of parental investment. Research has found that children growing up with one or more parent incarcerated is “the greatest threat to a child’s well being.” High risk children are more likely to abuse drugs and become involved in illegal activity If their parents or legal guardians are involved in these things as well (Junger,1).

The LGBT community is a largely discriminated group of Americans who are striving for equality in a world that is against them in many ways. The negativity that this community faces makes it challenging for this group to be who they want to be. LGBT Americans fight daily battles with families, employers, peers, and educators. Discrimination against the lesbian and gay community has negatively impacted their access to housing, employment, and education. Children who come out to their parents risk getting kicked out of homes because of who the child wants to be. Employment discrimination leaves LGBT Americans with a worse chance of being financially stable and a better chance of getting fired or not promoted. Many school kids exclude LGBT adolescents

Gender non-discrimination is important because Gender itself is not. Who a person can or cannot by with, or what a person can or cannot do should not by based on arbitrary aspects of their identity. Gay, straight, white, black, male, female, we all have talents and the capability to do amazing things. To be judged on one aspect of one’s self, to by seen as one-dimensional is one of the worst things that can happen to a person. As a society, if we continue to perpetuate this simplification of people we will stunt the possible growth, hold our innovators back from improving our lives, and not see the future we've worked so hard to achieve. The biggest issues for LGBT people in Maryland are the same ones throughout the nation. We need there

A study in 2011 by Gary J. Gates estimated that there are roughly 8 million people (3.5% of the adult population) in the United States that identify within the LGBTQA+ spectrum and these people have been fighting for their rights for too long. The Gay Rights Movement dates back to the 19th century. Some supporters of the movement would say that the society as a whole has made great strides towards acceptance of homosexuality, for example, legalization of same-sex marriage across the entire country on June 26, 2015. However, those in the community are still fighting for equality today. The U.S. has made progress within the last decade regarding this issue, but definitely not enough, which can be seen through the massive number of amounts of homicides in the recent years and the lack of police follow-up. We need to take steps to protect and balance LGBTQA+ rights through education, creation and enforcement of protection laws/policies, and allowing the community to speak and have representation.

Looking back throughout history at the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender individuals, it isn’t hard to see that we have made the majority of our strides in the past 10 years. As a society we have decided the time is now to put an end to the lack of rights for people of different sexual orientations. Accepting LGBT individuals and providing them the same rights and protections as all other Americans makes us a more united, respectable Country. Everyone deserves equal treatment and opportunities regardless of what their sexual orientation may be.
