    To sum up the book in 5 sentences, it was a book about this guy who got caught smuggling Heroin from Thailand to Australia. He got caught in Thailand after they suspected this drug activity at the airport one of the previous times, and the Thailand police contacted the Australian police about it and wanted them to keep a close eye on him, so they did and then put him and his accomplice in a Bangkok prison, at first he got “life”.He spent most of his time in Bang Kwang, but anywhere he went the guards beat the prisoners, sometimes to death, and they had to wear chains around their ankles.

    This would allow her to avoid being incarcerated as this is likely to put her in a downward spiral within the justice system because of her vulnerabilities. The importance of getting the appropriate resources and support to help Kimmie deal with the trauma she has witnessed and experienced is critical in deterring her from reoffending, as she has never had the opportunity to heal. Entering an institutional facility would expose Kimmie to the trauma of experiencing further abuse and elude her from dealing with her untreated emotional pain (Simkins & Katz, 2002). An appropriate case plan to implement for Kimmie would begin through a Judge that was court-ordered because of her most recent Aggravated Assault convictions. Kimmie would be ordered to have a professionally completed assessment on her psychological and mental health through a medical personnel. Not only would this assessment help the Criminal Justice system with understanding why Kimmie is continuing her aggressive behaviours but also gives her evidence so that her family can begin understanding and supporting her instead of suppressing and marginalizing her. Although data is limited, there is a reality of the Criminal Justice System criminalizing abused girls without there being appropriate mediations and interventions to understand why these violent behaviours have occurred (Simkins & Katz, 2002). The Criminal Justice System tends to focus on young girls’ aggressive and violent behaviours as just a crime rather than focusing on the possible trauma that these young girls have experienced. The trauma experienced by these young girls often have a very strong connection to the crimes they are being convicted of (Simkins & Katz, 2002). The psychological and mental health assessment Kimmie will undergo will allow the professionals involved to address her risk factors more appropriately…

    Kay’s statement that, “…it's clear that we should recognize juvenile offenders of violent crimes for what they are: dangerous criminals who happen to be teenagers,” which magnifies the idea that these are not normal children, but also criminals (“Should teens be tried as adults...”). Beneath their outer appearance is still a violent criminal, which should not be overlooked. The judicial system must effectively look at the crime committed by an adolescence, before the offender’s age, because that is the only way to effectively try these…

    In the Movie “ Sleepers” a story about four male friends who stole a hot dog cart, accidently rolled it down some subway steps and ended up crushing a man. All four friends end up going to a reformatory prison and got sexually assaulted by a guard there named Nokes. All four boys were traumatized by these horrible events that happened but two of the boys held anger and venedict. Years later, these two boys happened to see Nokes at a bar. They approached him where he was sitting, and they both shot him various times all over his body. The few people there that were in the same bar, testified what had happened but either way it went, both friends got not guilty. I personally think that the two defendants were morally incorrect in killing the guard Nokes because even though Nokes traumatized them so badly, that that might be all they ever think about - i think that taking a life is not justified and it is not the place of the victims to determine whether or not they are guilty, this is a matter for the court to decide. Even though in a greater chance of them not being able to, they could move on just like their other two friends that went through that also. They could be able to take a little bit of counseling and faith that they’ll forget the horrific events or maybe to just move forward from that time of their life. The rest of the other boys went into college and through this they probably got distracted and they didn’t really think about those prison times. The two boys probably still felt dirty inside that they just wanted revenge, because possibly just like them many more of the other prisoners there had gone through the same exact things as themselves, but revenge is not the answer. Under any circumstance i honestly feel that if someone is raped they are going to automatically want revenge of some type, the two boys were kind of “an eye for an eye, ear for an ear “kind of type of people, but with all the little boys that he obviously must have raped Nokes will…

    The content of the video on “Child exposure to Domestic Violence” was a personal crime. First we need to understand what the definition of “personal crime” is: “rape, sexual assault, personal robbery, assault, purse snatching and pocket picking. This category includes both attempted and completed crimes” (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2010). Even though some people do not think of personal crime as a domestic violence, it is considered to be assault. Also, many people do not think of verbal assault, which is just as bad for a child to hear, but not as bad as domestic violence.…

    As more minors are committing violent crimes, (Greenwald, 1983) the question arises, Should minors who commit violent crimes be tried as adults? Based on the following scenario one would agree that minors who commit violent crimes should be charged as adults. In the case of a Middlesex teenager and his girlfriend, his punishment was severe and ultimately cost him his life. His girlfriend’s punishment was not quite as severe (unknown, www.clarkprosecutor.org, n.d.). According to the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, if a minor knows right from wrong and it can be proven they should be charged (Greenwald, 1983). One could conclude from that journal that minors should endure the punishment that goes with the crime; however, there is a…
