Sex Offenders Argument Essay

The American Criminal Justice System are sets of agencies and process made by the government to control crime and to penalize those who commit it. The justice system is different based one’s jurisdiction, meaning city, state, federal or tribal government or military installation. The Criminal System is divided into two main parts, the state and the federal. The state portion handles crimes within its state boundaries. The federal portion handles crime committed on Federal property or in two or more states (“Criminal Justice” 1). The American Criminal Justice System needs reform because of its emphasizes on incarceration punishment rather than Rehabilitation. Our justice system especially enforces punishment on blacks and Latinos resulting of overpopulation of prisons like Rikers Island for petty crimes. Also, another reform needed the juvenile cases. For example, juveniles who commit petty crimes shouldn’t be sent to adult prison and shouldn’t be near more dangerous and serious inmates.

Our society monsters today would be sex predators. Those people are crazy and will do anything to get what they want. Why would you ever want to hurt your peers let alone kids? People like that amaze me. Sex predators have to be mentally ill to do a disgusting crime like that. In a jail being a sex predator is the worst crime because to them molesting a child is worse than murder. Studies show that sex offenders are the highest population to be murdered in jail.

In determining whether others would be likely to comprehend the intended message the factual context in which the alleged expressive conduct occurs is paramount. Spence, 418 U.S. at 410; Johnson, 491 U.S. at 397. Other factors that influence whether the viewer is likely to understand the message includes, the timing of the conduct, the political or social conditions surrounding the conduct, and the viewer’s personal knowledge. Spence, 418 U.S. at 410. In Spence, the defendant affixed a peace sign to an American flag, which he hung upside down outside his window to protest the United States invasion of Cambodia and the Kent State killings. Id. The Court held that defendant’s conduct was likely to be understood because the activity was concurrent with the aforementioned events, which made it unlikely “for the great majority of citizens to miss the drift of [defendant’s] point at the time that he made it.” Id. Similarly, in Johnson, the Court held that the defendant’s conviction for burning the American flag in political protest violated his First Amendment right to free speech. Johnson, 491 U.S. at 397. The Court held that defendant’s burning of the flag was expressive conduct covered by

“ She was just seventeen when she got into prostitution- child trafficking- but she didn’t know she was a victim at the time. She had been beaten and raped by her father since she was twelve years old.” (Zhai Yun, 1.) Young victims of youth sex trafficking are not just kidnapped by unknown people into this. It can be by their father, mother, brother, or sister. It can be forced upon them by people who have come into their life claiming they can make it better. When in reality it just makes it worse. They have no idea what they are getting into and what is going to happen to them. They are fed with lies and false pretentions of what is going to happen. They are caught in a trap that is hard to get out of. Often they are to scared to try to run or be rescued. They just do what they are told so that they live or so their loved ones live.

A woman and her child decided to go out for a small date. She is shopping around and all of the sudden she feels herself being pulled away with her daughter. Her and her child are in a dark van not knowing where she is going. When she arrives at the location you are forced to do unimaginable things, the child included. Now this may not be a reality for you, however this has been for over 20.9 million people. That is people 800,000 a year (Do something Para 5).Young girls are especially targets right now. Not many people are aware of this horrible business but today I plan to make you aware of the horrors of sex trafficking. Sex trafficking needs to be stopped because it has a negative effect on people in the society.

After thinking about a research topic for a long and hard time I decided to choose sex trafficking. The problem with sex trafficking is that it happens more than what we are aware of! Yet we do not raise any awareness for it. My question to schools, local communities, health workers and local governments is, "Why can we not raise more awareness sex trafficking wise?" As a future educator, I want my students to be aware of this harsh and cruel world. Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery! This modern form of slavery is not for labor but for sexual desires. Do you see why I do not understand making rape very aware in public. Yet, we do not do the same about sex trafficking?

Many of us were raised knowing the story of Daniel Morcombe, the thirteen year old boy snatched from a bus station found murdered with the intention of rape, 8 years laters. Before the murder of Daniel, Brent Peter Cowan was a known child sex offender who had two previous offences with minimal penalty. In an interview with police Cowan stated “I never got to molest him or anything like that. He panicked and I panicked and grabbed him around the throat and before I knew it he was dead.” Daniel is one of many innocent and trusting children who have fallen victim to these vicious repeat offenders. Outside of the family, the first people thought to be responsible when a child is murdered, raped or abducted tend to be sex offenders in the area, so why must a child endure such a heinous act before this information is revealed to the public? I firmly believe that communities should be notified if and when a known predator on the paedophile and sex offenders registry has entered their neighbourhood. (Quite engaging, with a strong contention.)

Federal laws like the Adam Walsh Act and the Wetterling Act, which mandated long registration periods and the online posting of information including pictures and current addresses under the posting ‘Sex Offender and/or Crimes Against Children’, have resulted in a social stigma and humiliation for young people across America. Not to mention the cost of registration--fair for the true pedophile but not for the young person lacking a job or real place to call home.

The ethos is a Greek word that means credibility, it is often used in English to demonstrate the strength of the writing or someone. There are four essays that have weakest to strongest ethos that are read; “Kids are Kids-Until They Commit Crimes”, “Startling Findings on the Teenage Brains”, “On Punishment and Teen Killers”, and “Juveniles Don’t Deserve Life Sentence”. Each essay has a different point of view, all but one talks about teens should not get adult punishment for crimes they commit because they are not fully developed like adults. Teens do not have a full concept as adults do when they commit such a horrendous crime. The strongest article with ethos is “Juveniles Don’t Deserve Life Sentences” because she dealt with juvenile criminals: she gives facts and very little feelings when giving information in the article. The weakest article with ethos is “Kids are Kids-Until they commit crimes” because her facts were most likely opinions, she wouldn’t state where she found her research, her essay is confusing, and her article was not actually in an acceptable order; especially how she gives her the information.

This Court’s opinion in Hodgkiss provides insight into the alternative channels analysis. In Hodgkiss, the ordinance forbade all attachments of notices, posters, and signs to public structures. State v. Hodgkiss, 132 N.H. 376, 384 (1989). This Court found the ordinance was not overbroad because the government had a significant interest in remedying the visual pollution

In extending the current sex offender and housing literature, this study explored whether the presence of RSOs were associated with a decrease in sale prices of homes in a major metropolitan U.S. county. Previous research has established that sex offender legislation has produced unintended social and financial consequences in communities located in urban areas. Economically speaking, scholars have demonstrated a relationship between home sale values and the presence of RSOs (Bian et al., 2013; Caudill et al., 2014; Larsen et al., 2003; Linden & Rockoff, 2008; Pope, 2008; Wentland et al., 2014). Based on this scholarship, home sale values have financially reacted in decreased values to the nearby presence of RSOs, even though public members

Public Eye on Sexual Offenders In preparing for this essay it has been identified that sexual offenders are not a homogenous group of individuals and that this is an umbrella term used to describe a range of behaviours ranging from acts of voyeurism and exhibitionism, to more serious acts of pedophilia and rape. For the purpose of this essay I have chosen to focus on the more serious forms of sex offending which in my opinion, are the cause of much of the current attention. In order to understand why sexual offenders attract so much attention I will begin by considering today’s society and the emergence of post-modernist values and the preoccupation with risk.

Sexual assault is one of the fastest growing violent crimes in America. Approximately 20% of all people charged with a sexual offense are juveniles. Among adult sex offenders, almost 50% report that their first offense occurred during their adolescence. (FBI, 1993) There are many different opinions, treatment options and legislation to manage the growing numbers of juvenile sex offenders. In today’s society the psychological and behavioral modification treatments used to manage juvenile sex offenders is also a growing concern. To understand and determine the proposed treatment methods, several related issues will need to be reviewed such as traditional sex offender therapy methods like cognitive therapy and alternative therapies like

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” – US Constitution (Amendment XV). The constitution states that every United States citizen should have the right to vote so why shouldn’t felons get the right to vote after they have served their time and finished their punishment. One of the main goals of prisons and jails is rehabilitation so if felons are given the right to vote then they would get a chance to start over and become a better member of society.

Would you consider a juvenile who commits a crime such as murder an adult? Over the years there has been many cases of juveniles committing crimes for possession of drugs, committing murder or other crimes but they fall under the name juveniles for a reason. The word Juvenile means a young person and if they’re being judged as adults why do we call them juveniles? A juveniles is only a person who is barely learning about live and they may commit the crime due to several reasons. A juvenile may commit a crime because they may have a broken home with bad influences, they still haven’t developed their brains to the fullest and because the juvenile has problems at school or work (if the juvenile works).
