One size fits all? NOT!
[ send me this paper ]
(6pp) I thought of her one-size-fits all story when we were talking about "zero tolerance." If this were not a school paper, I would just say that it "sucks," and leave it at that, because I think that the zero tolerance policy is similar to that one size fits all shirt deal. I can understand that parents have been freaked out by all the violence stuff that has been on the news and at other schools. It is a scary thing. I agree with that. I do not think that guns or alcohol belong in school, but our school handbook says that there will be "zero tolerance" for "unacceptable behavior; disrespect to staff," or guns. Anybody who needs to bring a gun to school has zero brain cells - so they should get into trouble for that Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Probation For (Juvenile) Status Offenders
[ send me this paper ]
"Status offenders" are juveniles convicted of crimes that would not be considered such if they were adults. For example, running away from home, truancy, etc.; are all considered to be criminal activities only by juvenile courts. This 6 page research paper analyzes the controversy surrounding the penalties given to status offenders and the likelihood that probation will become the most viable answer to the problem. The opinions of reputed caseworkers are cited to evidence the idea that while harsher sentences for status offenders must be ruled out, the lack of some penalty is unacceptable and therefore, probation-style programs are the most likely answer to the problem.

Sentencing of Juvenile Criminal as Adults
[ send me this paper ]
( 5 pp) Sentencing youth to incarceration can never be the sole solution to delinquency and crime. However, public fears about juvenile delinquency and crime have escalated in recent years, boosted in part by a handful of headline-grabbing incidents that foster stereotypes of young people as out of control. It is not as though these incidents do not happen, sadly they do. However, the doubt which it engenders in society's mind concerning its youth is equally damaging. One proposed solution is to sentence and incarcerate juveniles as adults. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

The Many Manifestations of Aggression in Children
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page overview of the different manifestations of aggression which occur among our nation’s young people. Notes the importance of both environment factors and genetic factors in determining the form aggression will take. Suggests that by far boys are more likely to exhibit the more serious forms of aggression than are girls and that the intensity of this exhibition increases rather than decreases with age. Devotes particular attention to the problems of verbal aggression, sexual harassment, and acts of over violence. Defines each and examines the different manifestations of each which have occurred during the last few years. These forms of aggression, in particular, are suspected to be the result of deeply rooted psychological problems. This paper suggests that the increase in aggression which we have experienced over the last few years is directly correlated with a decline in societal mores and norms but emphasizes that it is also important to remember that various physiological and genetic factors can be at play as well. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
