Second, restorative In other words, a criminal can easily lie and claim that they’ve changed, most likely just to get out of any real punishment, when in fact, they haven’t changed at all, and they might not ever change. This results in a complete waste of time and money.
Life-Course-Persistent offenders (LCPs) are those that “start antisocial acts early and continue their waywardness into and beyond adolescence. Adolescence-Limited Offenders (ALs) are those that start and finish their criminality during their teenage years” (Cullen, et al., 2014, p. 516).

“Being a little bit weird may be one of the things that actually connects us, and makes us uniquely human” (“Isn’t Everyone a Little Bit Weird?” 131). Being an outsider isn’t always a bad thing, as some might think. It has a tendency to connect people, create learning opportunities, and create diversity within those communities. People often look down upon outsiders because they’re different. The most successful people in history have been even known to be outcasts.
Many are rich many are poor many have money many don’t. Have you ever had a moment where you did something selfish for desperation of money and karma hit you right back with a right hook?. And felt regret towards yourself. In the short story “Why, You Reckon” the
I disagree with Lauren Slater’s theory that throughout a person's life, one will only surround themselves with ideas and people similar to their own because, it is easy to see that people enjoy controversy and over the course of our lives, our beliefs and ideas can change. According to They
The rehabilitation of violent offenders is very rare but is possible to the offenders that actually want to be rehabilitated.

Connecting Concepts #2 a.) Grinnell’s saying, “divorced from understanding” is the perfection wording to explain the loss of interest in students to learn subject matters. “A collection of facts,” as stated in Every Day Practice of Science, is basically just a bunch of things thrown at students to memorize and pass a
When talking about American history most begin with the coming of the Mayflower, when the Europeans arrive. Why is that? Maybe it’s because that’s the easiest way to explain our history or because we don’t seem to understand the importance of The Natives? But, here’s the truth Pilgrims weren’t the
Often the assumption about convicted criminals is that they are not sorry about the crimes they commit, but rather about being caught. This is probably true in some and maybe even most cases, but not in all. Has not everyone done something in his or her life that they felt bad about, or morally convicted, and then went out and did it again? What is the difference if you feel bad about breaking your word, or robbing a bank? In both cases you feel morally convicted, but that does not mean you will not do it again. Some criminals commit crimes, serious crimes, such as murder or rape, feel horrible about it, and then go out and do it again. Does not seem like your average psycho, cold-hearted killer, but a weak-minded person will
Technology is something we use every day, we use it to research we use it to communicate with people. Though some people can be skeptical and on the fence with technology, they want to know if it helps us or hurts us. They want to know if we can do anything on our own without the help of technology. Even though that people feel like that Michaela Cullington author of “Does Texting Affect Writing?” looks at both sides of the argument surrounding technology effect on writing and ultimately shows how it doesn’t affect writing. Likewise, Clive Thompson author of “Smarter Than You Think” also has a stand point on how technology and shows it helps us not harm us in the way people think. After reading Cullington’s article it provides example of how
Furthermore some even commit crime because of the heavy stigma that has been put on them by the society . Hence it is hard for a person to serve their time and come back to a certain community with open arms, the stigma of the crime that the person committed still hovers over them. This could possibly lead the offender to recommit because the offender does not feel to be part of the community, some companies will not hire someone with a felony charge in their background or with even a misdenmor charge in their background, furthermore some felons are not allowed to vote. This stigma in of itself can be the driving factors for many to backslide into old lifestyles causing the offender to identify with what they have always known, which is a criminal lifestyle and and the only profession skills they know is committing crime to survive. Incidentally it is hard to predict who will become a habitual offender, but Ethnographic researchers has come up with ways that could possibly change the prediction, according to

Although, many offenders succumb to criminal identities there are many who reframe from future
Hi Tracy, thank you for the insightful post regarding I-Thou relationships. I face another stage of uncertainty in life. I find life mundane as I grow older disappointed where I stand. I continue to seek to discover where God desires for me to use my talents. Each time I feel confident of my life course, my life shifts and again. When my life shifts, I require reset of my goals and objectives. However, two books have been encouraging me during uncertainty. The books are called You Matter More than you think by Dr. Leslie Parrot and Home Run by Kevin Myers. I learned to embrace each difficulty as a gift to fall forward. Both books describe how contempt and disgruntlement in life does not equate to gratitude. A grateful heart appreciates the
