Children delinquency prevention and reduction shouldn’t be as complicated as it is today. It is said that many juveniles are becoming formally involved in the juvenile justice system due to having some sort of learning disability and/or because of behavior and discipline problems with his/her school also known as the school to prison pipeline. Kids with learning disabilities were detained more frequently and frequently came across detention centers compared to kids that don’t have disabilities. When an educator gives up on a child, the child will tend to have a negative self-perception and have a low frustration tolerance that’ll unfortunately be a factor to his/her future delinquent actions. Rejection of peers, low self-worth, dropping out

With mandatory requirements, many detention centers lack the proper educators to educate the youth in detention centers due to the lack of training in educating students with learning and behavior disorders. When “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) was mandated by the federal government, children in the juvenile system lacked a portion of the state curriculum due to facilities not having the appropriate material such as textbooks, computer software, designated classrooms, and much more. Many delinquents suffer education wise, because of the shortcomings of the facilities they reside in currently. Another issue that contributes to youth having a lack of education in detention centers is due to the teacher of public schools and teachers of detention

A couple of times his behavior escalated to a point that school staff had to restrain him in order to calm him down. Jon has been written up so many referrals to the office for aforementioned misdemeanors, thus disciplinarian has issued numerous detentions and in-school suspensions and only limited amount of out of school suspension due to the legal restriction. Subsequently, his behavioral intervention plan has been revised several times to find out the best approach to control him. Eventually, the school’s teachers and staff mostly got fed up with his behaviors expecting alternate environment for him and has been reluctant to handle with his misbehavior whenever it occurs nearby to

Truancy is part of the school to prison channel, a system that the state tells schools to have an absolute zero tolerance for unexcused absences. Sending students to court, a criminal court and having them experience the feeling on being a criminal just for skipping class exposes our children and derail them to the world of being a criminal. Nathan Hecht asked the Judicial Council, the policy-making body for the state’s courts, “Playing hooky is bad, but is it criminal?” So why do we get to treat our young children as criminals

The school-to-prison pipeline is an enormous elephant. It has many sides. A front, back, top, bottom, and all the in-between parts. It is so huge and strong that it is simply overwhelming. How do you eat an enormous, overwhelming elephant you ask? One.Bite.at.a.Time. The first bite is called public school suspension and expulsion. These aggressive school discipline policies impact our most vulnerable children as they enter right into the rushing current of the pipeline with no flotation device and cement shoes. Public school suspension and expulsion practices must be devoured and turned into fuel for Restorative Justice to rebuild trust and create a village.

Marijuana usage has become prevalent among adolescents in high school settings. The expectations of this single case design are to address what clinical intervention is more or less suitable for the treatment of this particular population. The interning clinician will focus on the effectiveness of motivational interviewing on the client’s progress in reducing marijuana usage. Although the diagnosis of ADHD may not be relevant to the use of Marijuana it may be a correlating factor the writer is taking into consideration. This single case design would also explore whether or not the clinician’s intervention is helping the client or potentially causing the client harm. Furthermore, this paper will address the measurements used, the findings and

Upon reviewing the clinical case of John Evans, a twenty-five year old male, there were several symptoms that stood out. The case states that Mr. Evans has been working with a psychiatrist for several years to assist him in managing psychosis, depression, anxiety, and his abuse of both marijuana and alcohol. Roughly around the age of fifteen Mr. Evan’s began to experience symptoms he had not previously. At this time, he became anhedonic, dysphoric, had decreased energy, and become socially isolated. Around the same time is when his habits with alcohol and marijuana began on a daily basis.

“You can’t cross the ocean by just standing and staring at the water” A man named R. Tagore said that. This quote has many meanings. Only two of them matter right now. When Mr. Tagore said those words he was saying that people have to be prepared. He was also saying that people can do very great things but they can’t just sit around and expect them to happen. They have to be prepared. That’s how these two things go together. Being prepared goes hand in hand with what Chelsea should do to make our schools and the kids in them be more prepared. The city should expand Chelsea Middle School’s store. This would make children more prepared and when they are prepared, kids can do amazing things.

Under the school’s current behavior policy, he has frequently received discipline for his behavior and his lack of effort in his classes. These sanctions include writing as punishment, corporal punishment, and isolation through In School Suspension. This is the second year that he has received such punishments with little to no change in his behavior and performance. However, through the use of a behavioral plan, the student should improve his behavior and his learning.

In the past fifteen years, the number of juveniles detained or committed for an offense has ranged from 50,000 to 100,000 (Foley, 2001; Office of Juvenile Justice Detention Prevention, 2015), with only a small number of these going on to finish at the high school level (diploma or GED) after release. In fact, a seminal study by Haberman and Quinn (1986) found that only 1.6% of former juvenile offenders earn their high school diploma. More current research has found that that number varies, but that less than 20% of juvenile offenders who were detained ever achieve a high school diploma or GED (Osgood, Foster, & Courtney, 2010; Uggen & Wakefield, 2005). Unfortunately, the National Center for Educational Statistics does not track high school graduation rates for this subgroup of individuals, so the exact number is not obtainable.
