I want you to know the truth behind status offenses. Status offenses are acts considered criminal only when committed by a juvenile (Muscari, 2010). These restrictions are incorporated to minors to promote school attendance, return home at a safe hour or avoid use and addiction of nicotine, alcohol, or illegal drugs. The consequences of being charged with a status offense range from deferred adjudication, probation, or boarding at a state school or other facility. I bring this to attention to discuss the problems with status offenses in regards to the system in place, the juveniles and a possible way to help solve underlying problems. Many causes of status offense include poverty, chronic illness, negative peers, neglectful or abusive family,…

The first amendment guarantees the right of free expression to all citizens of the United States. Leonard Pitt’s writing “Who decides if it’s art or porn?” brings up a major issue with the first amendment of free expression. Pitts states his thesis towards the end of his article with the two questions, “What is the line where obscenity ends and art begins? And who gets to say?” I’m not entirely sure about the answer to the first question, but I do know that the government and the judges of the court have the power to decide what the difference is.…
First, society has an interest in protecting kids (especially those in the audience) from lewd , vulgar , and sexually explicit speech. Also, schools have a duty to teach student speakers the “habits and manners of civility” essential to democratic governance. Schools must teach students to responsibly consider the sensibilities of others, even when exercising their right to express unpopular viewpoints. Schools may reasonably conclude the boundaries of socially appropriate behavior cannot adequately be taught to students in an environment where the right to communicate in lewd, vulgar, and sexually explicit terms are absolute. Therefore, schools can constitutionally punish students for vulgar and lewd speech inconsistent with their educational…
All actions have consequences. Sometimes one does not have to participate in the action, but only be related, and the crime committed can have serious consequences for everyone. The consequence, or lack of consequence, is determined by one’s upbringing. This is clearly the case present in Robertston Davies’ Fifth Business. Although Boy committed the crime, Dunstan feels a profound sense of guilt about the snowball incident. On the other hand, Boy obliterates his guilt. Guilt and lack of guilt can clearly be seen through character’s lives, relationships and philosophies.…
For the past decade, many Right Wing organizations have sort to change many of the laws, governing our rights and freedom. These laws were passed by congress and upheld by the Supreme Court. The Miranda Warning is one of these laws. The Miranda Warning is intended to protect the guilty as well as the innocent and should be protected at all costs. Without the law, many suspects may be treated unfairly. It is a necessary safeguard.…

A status offense is a non-criminal act that is considered a law violation because of youth. Status offenses include violating curfews, general governability, running away from home, and underage drinking. The criminal offense I will focus on is runaways. Runaways are usually defined as a child who leaves there home without permission and stays away overnight or for numerous days. Juveniles tend to run away from home for numerous reasons. Most common runaways are those who run away and return home in a few nights for small situations. Then you have long term runaways that include youth who run away to escape serious family problems. Serious family problems may consist of neglect or abuse. Lastly, you have throwaways when parents tend to neglect…

Criminal defense is better understood if the concept of criminal law is understood as well. Criminal law is defined as the body of law which deals with the constitution of offenses and the punishment given to offenders for their wrong doing. Among concept of criminal law, there are four important principles that correspond to the subject. The first principle is innocent until proven guilty which is considered the basis of the criminal justice system. Even though that an individual can get charged with an offense, he or she is still proven innocent until proven guilty of that offense. The case must have more than beyond the belief of reasonable doubt that the individual is guilty. Of course, if there is reasonable if there is reasonable doubt,…
