Cyberbullying The Most Powerful Organized Crime

Everyone has heard of the notorious Al Capone. Gang leader from Chicago who is responsible for many murders. What some may not know is that he was also a part of a much larger organization known as The Mafia. Defined by Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary as a “secret criminal society” the Mafia controls all organized crime in a particular area. They knew how to get what they wanted without getting caught and were not afraid of anything or anyone. Although the Mafia is still around today their prime years were from the 1920’s to the 1970’s. `Beginning in the late 19th century organized crime rose in popularity among American people. The Mafia and its following depended on family ties, secrecy, and loyalty as they participated in lawless

The First Amendment has high importance and guarantee coming from our founding fathers. The Constitution promises its citizens that those rights will never be taken away, regardless of what is said. It is too significant to overlook. Cyberbullying also may contain its own positives. Not only would it be seen by powerful and disapproving adults but also influential peers for both the bully and the bullied. It could lead to independent fixing. Although many believe in government consequences, education itself could finish the pressing problem in today’s youth. What, if any, prosecution such as jail led to the termination of the one thing it was meant to stop? So then, why would prosecution for cyberbullying be any

The first amendment of the United States Constitution is the right of free speech. So, should people get prosecuted for cyberbullying, even though it violates the first amendment? Although cyberbullying is wrong it shouldn’t be charged as a federal crime because it is not physically hurting someone it is emotionally hurting them.

Not to mention with everyone being connected throughout social media makes it easier for the word to get around faster and make it worse for that person. Cyberbullying might not involve physical abuse and the words said will not make it hurt any less, but the posts someone puts up will be there for anybody to see and might not ever go away. Cyberbullying is no better than bullying because it can still lead to psychological or emotional problems many kids have to face. In some serious cases it can lead to depression or even worse suicide. It can be prevented by social media websites censoring any harsh or mean comments before the posts are even posted. Although it is not their fault, that is how the problem starts and continues.

To begin, any person that has cyberbullied another person should be punished, whether it be in school or legally. The victim being cyber bullied often feels “angry, hurt, embarrassed, or scared” (Source A). The way that these victims feel is also displayed through movies like “Cyberbully” and “13 Reasons Why.”  These movies have a school setting and they reveal how a victim feels at school and in their community when being cyberbullied. If cyberbullying was supposed to be justified by the First Amendment or anything

In this paper it was asked of us as a team to give an in-depth historical analysis of an organized crime group. With this class being about organized crime one would think to write about mobsters, but we decided to think outside the box. Even though when thinking of organized crime the first thought is The Italian Mafia and groups of that sort, one has to remember that organized crime comes in many different forms of organizations. From this class we were able to understand more on organized crime and who can be classified as an organized crime organization. Organizations that one would never really think of as having ties to organized crime may have some

With this in mind, the article “The Chicago Outfit: Challenging the Myths About Organized Crime” examines some of the many myths that people believe to be true due to what they hear and see in the media. Stereotypes of organized crime or OC figures are a continuing feature of popular culture in America. People have been obsessed with mobsters since the 1920s. They have been glamorized in things such as books, movies, and television programs as well as been portrayed as criminals, tycoons,

Which is worse, traditional bullying or cyberbullying? The general stereotype of a bully is a large male preying on a frail child. Although this might’ve been true at some point in the past, times have changed and now there are other forms of bullying. Even though cyberbullying lacks of physical force, it is more devastating and leaves the victim with long-term effects. This form includes spreading false rumors, posting embarrassing pictures of the victim, and threats on social medias. These harmful messages can be far more emotionally damaging, if not physically, than face-to-face confrontation. This information can be spread quickly to a larger audience since the technology has

Security threat groups and prison gangs are responsible for a lot of the crimes that occur in prison. Well-organized and highly structured prison gangs who have leaders and influences have been around decades. Gangs in prison can be described as groups whose activities pose a real threat to the safety of the institutional staff and other inmates and also to security of the correctional institution (Beth, 1991). These gangs always have strong leaders and use that leadership role to their advantage as an influence on other inmates by means of violence. Sometimes they are interested in drugs, alcohol, and contraband to other prisoners. Gang activity is an increasing activity in prisons in major cities, rural communities, and prisons. The Aryan Brotherhood, Black guerilla Family, The Folk Nation, The Mexican Mafia, and MS 13 are five of the most dangerous gangs to prison systems among the many gangs that that are known out there.

Prison gangs are originally formed by inmates as a way of protecting themselves from the other inmates. These gangs have turned out to be violent and thus posing a threat to security. This paper will have a look at the different gangs in prisons, their history, beliefs and missions, and the differences and similarities in these gangs.

The organized crime groups that I am most familiar with include terrorist groups, gangs, and mafias. As a result of living in a city in Florida, I have heard more about gangs compared to when I used to live in a rural town in Vermont. I’ve always heard about gang violence and the crime they commit, such as theft and murder (“Tampa Bay gangs,” n.d.). I also know that gangs can be represented by different colors, markings, and often members will have tattoos of the gang logo (“Tampa Bay gangs,” n.d.). Al Qaeda and ISIS are the two terrorist groups I have heard the most about because of how often the groups are committed crimes that are making national headlines. From the 9/11 terrorist attacks to the recent attach on Paris, terrorist groups are constantly committing crime and violence against society (Mallory, 2012). Lastly, I am not too familiar with the names of various mafias, I have only heard about the different types of crime they commit.

Organized crime is an issue that has existed for many years and continues to be on the rise especially with the technology that we have today. Well – known criminal organizations include; Italian Mafia, Russian Mobsters, Nuestra Familia, Mexican Mafia, The Hell’s Angels, The Bandidos, John Gotti, Al Capone, and so much more. One of the most famous criminal organizations are the Gambino Family in which John Gotti was said to be the “Godfather” of the family and was the most powerful criminal in America. That being said, this is just one group can you imagine how many others who operate in our neighborhoods and worldwide? These groups

In chapter eight of the book, “Cyber Bullying and the Wild Web: What Everyone Needs to Know” by J.A. Hitchcock talks about social media websites and apps that teens, and parents need to be aware about. In the beginning of the chapter the author lists off a few of the popular social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Kik, and Snapchat. The author then shares a story about a girl named Colleen getting harassed on the internet by a group of girls because she felt uncomfortable with her boyfriend being friends with one of the girls because she was flirting with him. Once the boyfriend deleted the girl, Colleen started getting harassed online However, she was smart enough to know how to block them and not accept anyone that she didn't

“Even in death, Phoebe Prince was bullied” (Kennedy). That was the headline when a FaceBook page dedicated to Prince was hacked and filled with hurtful and derogatory comments about her. Phoebe was a regular teen that was cyber bullied to the extent that she couldn’t take it anymore. Her body was found in a stairwell, and at 15 years old, Phoebe hanged herself. Although cyberbullying is a vague concept to many, it should be made a criminal offense because it is causing suicides for youth, government intervention is the only solution, and the bully should be punished instead of the victim.

Criminal gangs are there to rule, they have been there in every community for a long time. Gang's intentions are to commit crimes. Gang leaders oversee extortion, order killings or smuggle drugs. This paper studies gang formation, why individuals join gangs and the negative influence gangs have to the society and the economy. The study focuses on some of the prominent gangs in the world today; it explains the activities of the Russian mafia and other gangs. This paper explains power struggles within gangs and gives out recommendations to solve problems associated with gang operations. This paper puts into perspective a study on factors influencing gang membership; the study employs personal interviews as a method, causal research design and ordinal scale of measurement. Prisoners in California state prison are the sample population. Structured proxy question are used, and observation to study an individual's race. The study focuses male prison gang members. Findings from the study indicate that the less educated an individual is the likely for one join a gang, from the study it is evident that gang members feel disregarded when formulating policies, it is clear that race is not a factor to gang membership and that most of the gang members come from dysfunctional families.
