Abstract
The paper states that over the past few years there has been a marked increase in the number of children victimized by child molesters. The paper adds that the advent and popularity of the internet has spawned a new breed of molesters that are preying upon children. The paper then discusses and examines the type of individuals that molest children and focuses on several studies and observations that have been made concerning the nature of these individuals.
Outline:
Introduction
Child Molesters and Heterosocial competence
Child Molesters that are Socially Skilled
Child Molesters Perceptions Of Early Interpersonal Relationships
Female Child Molesters
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Overall it is apparent that child molesters do not necessarily fit into one category and the reasons for the behaviors can vary greatly. However, there are some characteristics that seem to be consistent with many child molesters. In many cases they are preoccupied with being accepted, they tend to live double lives and more often then not they were sexually abused as children. One of the most disturbing findings of this research is the fact that molesters could be anyone and in many cases it is not someone that would be suspected of committing any crime against a child."

Abstract
The paper states that domestic violence is now considered a major crime and a serious health hazard. The problem is that anyone can be a victim or an abuser as neither has a definite or consistent profile. The paper comments that therapists and society view women victims as incapable of violence themselves and notes that depressed war veterans and veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder tend to perpetrate domestic violence more than any other tested group. The paper then provides a review of the literature on the topic, focusing on the most common victim, the motivation for domestic abuse, and organizations that exist to prevent the abuse. The paper also explains that the descriptive-normative method of survey and research was used for the study.

Introduction
Review of Literature
Method
From the Paper
"Studies show that veterans who suffer from depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder tend to commit domestic violence more than other veterans surveyed without the disorder. Another study found that men and women have comparable chances of victimization. The consequences of victimization are also similar. Both of them tend to develop severe depressive disorder and take recourse to marijuana use. Men may also take to alcohol and become more anxious."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the environment that American males find themselves in at college, where they are surrounded with sexually-explicit stimuli, have an effect on the general attitude of college males toward females. It particularly analyzes the literature regarding the effect of the exposure to pornography on the way that young males begin to objectify females.

Cultural and Sociological Bases
Biological Bases
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Research has shown that during the college years, both men and women can buy into the rape myth acceptance (Allen et al., 1995) and that on the college campus, desensitization can occur for both genders due to repeated exposure (Goleman, 1985). Thus, individuals who are frequently exposed to frequent cultural and sociological pressures and sexually violent material are likely to learn and abide by such negative behaviors and also to accept the violent treatment women receive as justified. Furthermore, individuals who view sexually violent media might be more willing to accept rape myths (Emmers-Sommer 11). All of these elements are present on the college campus and must be found to have some effect on the attitude of men's objectification of women while there."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the mother in "I Stand Here Ironing" is stymied by guilt, helplessness and frustration for the poverty and providence that led her Emily to be a child that was rarely smiled at, often responsible for more than her years could handle and constantly faced with a look of worry from her mother. The paper explains the mother's many financial and other difficulties and relates that she actually followed all the then current advice on childrearing that promoted distance and little affection. The paper highlights this connection of distance between the mother and daughter.
From the Paper
"The mother is disturbed but has no answers, that will help her go back in time and allow Emily's childhood to be one that was not filled with fear, bad secondary care giving and a constant look of worry on her mothers face. She raised her oldest child, without the father, as he could not provide for them and therefore walked away. Necessity made it so the mother had to send Emily to her father's family at least twice, where she became a different child. When she was with her mother she often had bad secondary care givers, cruel nursery teachers and angry old ladies, who were willing to watch her for free."

From the Paper
"Getting Counseling helped Jennifer become stable, and understand the situation. I could not believe what a difference it makes talking for just one hour in an individual's life. I strongly believe that this experience lead me into my current career as you can never judge a book by it's cover. As this man seemed to be kind , but ended up being very cruel. Being objective is something I have learned through these experiences and helps me provide better assistance to my clients. In the year 2000 I started to work as a receptionist at Western Queens Recovery Services. This agency helps people to stay sober, and learn to live without using addictive substances. Here I would see how some people changed their living style. They will tell me they were glad to be able to stop drinking, because of the therapist help. Clients would tell me that the counselor would help them boost their self-esteem. Counselors were proud of their work, and they knew that most of the time they will be able to make a difference in a client's life no matter how small that difference may be. Being part of this environment made me decide what road to follow."

SLA and Collier's Conceptual Model
Empirical Evidence Presented
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The social and cultural processes in the students' every day life are central to the language acquisition of the student. This includes cultural processes in the students' life in terms of the past, present and future and includes all contexts of "home, school, community, and the broader society." In terms of language development or linguistic processes which are a second component of the model Collier states that these consists of "the subconscious aspects of language development as well as metalinguistic, conscious formal teaching of language in school, and acquisition of the written system of language." Collier states that this is inclusive of both oral and written language acquisition. Academic development is a third component of this model and is inclusive of "all school work in language arts, mathematics, the sciences, and social studies for each grade level." Academic work through the progression of each grade brings expansion to the vocabulary, sociolinguistic, and discourse dimensions to the language higher cognition."

Abstract
This paper relates the stage of adolescence and the manner in which it can lead to patterns of juvenile delinquency is an important topic to discuss because juvenile delinquency has become a major crime issue in the United States and elsewhere. The paper then reviews and discusses readings about several psychological theories relating to adolescence and juvenile delinquency. The paper points out that none of the readings explain why an adolescent who lives in the suburbs and in a generally positive environment may engage in criminal activity.

From the Paper
"The readings also confirm my personal belief that adolescents students do better when their parents are involved in their education and upbringing. Parents that become involved in an adolescents education at school and in the community, result in higher grades and test scores, better attendance and regularly completed assignments, fewer placements in special education and remedial classes, and more positive attitudes and behavior in school. It appears that in the adolescent stage that there is no substitute for the consistency and nurturing provided by parental care, especially if the alternative is poorly funded childcare."

"The community chosen for this research is located south of San Francisco, Santa Cruz, California. The town has a markedly rural population. In 1956, the current district was created through the combining of five separate districts into one. Some of these districts had beginnings long before the Gold Rush of 1849. The current population is 173,339 people spread over 199.5 square kilometers. There are 62,400 families depending or will be depending on New City's only school district in the future, a district of 31,530 students (New City California Resource Guide, 2003). To accommodate these children, there are 27 elementary schools, five junior high schools, and six high schools. The average home costs about $600,000. The major language groups are: English (42%), Spanish (50%), and Mandarin (8%), (FUSD, Office of Federal and State Projects, 2007). The neighborhood is working-class and a recent census indicated that close to one-third of the population fell below the poverty line. There has been a long history of domestic violence and the divorce rate is quite high in this community. These factors might contribute to the high occurrence of violence in the local school system."

Abstract
This paper explains that conflict resolution involves a constructive approach to interpersonal and inter-group conflicts that is directed at helping people with opposing positions to work together to agree on acceptable compromise solutions. The paper highlights that like most programs designed for adolescents, an effective intervention program is meant to take into consideration the psychological needs and the developmental stage of the youth. The paper also relates that it is important to design interventions for groups, inter-groups and individuals. The paper goes on to discuss the goals that should be established by a counselor in a detention institution as well as the
From the Paper
"This is related to stereotyping reducing and cooperation in diverse groups. First of all, the counselor should raise awareness of their differences and emphasize that this is an advantage and not a basis for prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping, but for rich intercultural exchange. Activities may be developed in which the participants have a personal unique contribution, reinforcing the uniqueness and individuality of each person. An emphasis on kindness may be placed as well, since it is a facilitator to understanding equality and avoiding such negative behaviors as stereotyping and discrimination."

From the Paper
"The gateway drug hypothesis assumes that individuals progress from a lower-stage drug to the next higher-stage drug in a sequence. According to Kandel (2002), individuals are unlikely to proceed to a drug stage without having first tried a lower-stage drug; however, most individuals are likely to stop at an early stage without progressing through the whole sequence. This author adds that, "The Gateway Hypothesis implies that the sequence of drug use onsets is universal and that the most important individual differences are differences in the end stage that is reached by different persons" (Kandel, 2002, p. 20)."

From the Paper
"The author analyzes recent literature investigating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behavior among street youth, finding that prevalence rates of both adolescent homelessness and HIV seropositivity are unknown but that data from a number of samples document a high prevalence of HIV risk behavior, sexually transmitted diseases, and alcohol/drug use among homeless adolescents. A number of individual and social factors are associated with street survival and may also propel adolescents toward high-risk behavior. Unfortunately, for some adolescents, testing HIV positive is seen as advantageous in the procurement of basic needs such as food and shelter. Any HIV risk-reduction interventions must consider the cause of homelessness, access to and participation in shelter services, and individual factors (such as the effects of sexual orientation and ethnicity) that often have not been systematically included in previous research. HIV risk for many homeless adolescents derives directly from their state of homelessness, and national policies and funding are therefore needed to address the health needs of these youth. How effective such programs may be depends on how they are shaped, how they are presented, and the precise nature of the social situation."

Abstract
This paper explores "Ghosts from the Nursery: Tracing the Roots of Violence," by Robin Karr-Morse and Meredith S. Wiley, which applies modern brain research to the role that early developmental processes play in later social and emotional development and actions. The author of the paper discusses how the disconnect between lower and upper brain functioning that Karr-Morse and Wiley's work outlines as the basis for impulsive disorders, explains tendencies such as rage expression, blackout, and self-harm in some impulsive individuals. The paper concludes that an education system that better responds to the pre-nursery school stages of development would seem logical, in order to better understand and correct juvenile delinquency.
From the Paper
"Additionally the overview offered by this article leads the reader to conclude that the major emphasis in psychological treatment of behavior disorders focusing on cognitive treatment may be a futile experiment and that the lower levels of brain function need to be the focus. (p. 45) The emphasis of this work is that lower brain levels are at work when imbalances in brain chemicals, under or over stimulation of the brain result in impulsive disabilities and without treatment of these areas, likely chemically and a greater understanding of the defects, these people will grow to become future impulsive individuals, with an inability to connect the upper thoughts with base responses to stressors."

Deaf Education in a Multicultural Classroom
Steps to Improve Education in the Deaf Classroom
Conclusions and Implications for Classrooms
From the Paper
"In recent years, as deaf adults began participating in and directing the policymaking deliberations concerning the education of deaf children, these longstanding concepts and erroneous assumptions concerning the needs of deaf students were transformed somewhat, but the process has taken longer and required more effort than anyone might have expected. For instance, in recent years, 'Descriptions of deaf children as disabled persons needing auditory and speech rehabilitation began to fade. In their place, descriptions of deaf people as an ethnolinguistic group arose, where the young need 'bilingual education' using ASL as the medium of instruction, not 'special education' using invented or artificial languages or mechanistic methods. This cultural view of deaf people, existing alongside recent realizations of the multicultural nature of contemporary American life, has given rise to a new deaf education pedagogy, termed bilingual-bicultural (or bi-bi) education' (Flood et al., 2005, p. 313). The introduction of these educational techniques has also introduced yet another misconception concerning the education of deaf children. The implications of these trends on education in an increasingly multicultural deaf classroom are discussed further below."

Abstract
The paper reveals that in spite of the growing awareness of the health problems associated with obesity, childhood obesity is on the rise. The paper explores the dangers associated with childhood obesity including future health risks of diabetes, heart disease, cancer and other weight-related ailments. The paper also looks at the social stigma of overweight children. Finally, the paper examines the role of parents in the development of childhood obesity and obesity prevention.
From the Paper
"Obesity is a major health problem in America today, and being overweight is a problem that often begins in childhood. Childhood obesity is both a problem in itself, creating health problems that may last for a lifetime, including many that may not be manifested until adulthood; and also a precursor for obesity in adulthood, a time of life when obesity can have even greater health problems. Among the problems associated with obesity are overweight In addition, childhood obesity has social consequences which can mark a child for life and which often isolate the child from his or her peers."

Abstract
This paper stresses that violence in US schools and families is as much associated with suburban and rural schools as it is with impoverished inner-city schools. The paper then proposes a violence prevention program, which serves the school's entire student body, teachers, support staff, administrators and parents or caregivers because they are all affected to some degree by the incidence of violence. The paper relates the categories of violence to be addressed by the program and describes the coalition service activities. The paper concludes that the expected results are the reduction in violence and sexual abuse in schools and school-sponsored extracurricular activities and the promotion of pro-social behaviors.

"Other techniques that will be used as part of this initiative will include conflict resolution seminars wherein students will be trained in effective conflict resolution techniques, and anger management workshops where students can learn alternatives to expressing their anger other than violent behaviors. If deemed appropriate, the educator in charge of the initiative can coordinate small counseling groups as well in which students can communicate the problems they are experiencing with violence, or where students with such behavior problems can identify the potential source of these behaviors and take action to resolve them."

"Juvenile delinquency is a huge problem worldwide and the US in particular. As per 2002 census, the American juvenile population stood at 25% of the national population and is slated to grow steadily during most part of the 21st century. Today the juvenile justice system serves a rich mixture of racial and ethnic population. There is an increasing ratio of non-white juveniles. In some states such as New Mexico for example; Hispanic juvenile ratio is 51% of the total juvenile population. Other states such as California (45%), Nevada (30%) , Texas (42%), have a high percentage of Hispanic juveniles. Similarly, in Mississippi (45%), Louisiana (40%) , North Carolina (27%), and Delaware (25%) the ratio of black juveniles is significant. In the district of Columbia, black juveniles account for 72% of the entire juvenile population. "

Lifespan Development Theory, 2008.
This paper looks at the expectation theory that concerns child and adolescent development.
2,486 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer presents an examination of the expectation development theory as it relates to child and adolescent life span development. The theory is developed by the writer using the character Forrest Gump as the case study. The writer notes that though the character Forrest Gump is a fictional character in a movie, the character provides a perfect back drop for understanding and applying the invented theory of expectation development. The writer concludes that the movie shows the world that the theory can be applied to human life with little regard to particular cultures or societies and this lends credibility to the truth of the theory itself.
From the Paper
"The Expectation Theory of Life Span development involves several stages of life. It is built on the idea that individuals pass through various stages of expectations and if these stages are successfully met and handled they are mentally, emotionally and physically able to move into the next step of their life span development.
The theory examined and discovered that the importance of adults, peers and others in the life of an individual alternates as various stages of development are entered into and conquered.
"The first stage of the theory involves the child's expectations of the world. As the child is born and travels through his or her basic infancy the child develops expectations of the world and how the world should react to his needs.
This is observed by a child's cry when hungry, wet or ill and the expectation of that child that his or her needs will be met by those that surround his or her life.
"One example of this can be seen in the child who cries when hungry. The expectation the child has from that cry is that one of the caretakers will appear with a bottle or breast, however if that does not happen the child begins to expect negative results from his or her cry. This makes it difficult to move into the next stage of development."

Family Delinquency and Crime, 2008.
This paper explores the inception and evolution of delinquency and crime within families.
1,782 words (approx. 7.1 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explores how a cycle of violence can exist within families that transfers violence from generation to generation in the form of abuse, whether physical or verbal. The paper examines Patterson's coercion model that explains how parents may reinforce the pattern of abuse while a victim of the abuse also becomes a perpetrator of abuse. The paper reviews Albert Bandura's vicarious learning theory and discusses different parenting styles and the effects of those styles upon the behavior of children. The paper therefore shows how a 'life-course trajectory of crime' may result when a child is reared in a hostile or abusive environment.
Outline:
Objective
Cycle of Violence
'Patterson's Coercion' Model
Social Learning Theory
Vicarious Learning and Inception and Evolution of Delinquency and Crime (Bandura)
Authoritarian Parenting Style Vs Permissive Parenting Style
Life Course Trajectory of Crime and Violence
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Research supports the belief that mistreatment of children can be understood as a 'cycle-of-violence' that is a process of intergenerational transmission.. The American Academy of Family Physicians: Policy and Advocacy in its' 'Violence' Position Paper states that family violence "permeates our society" affecting people on the individual level as well as having an impact upon the family physicians, parents, spouses, educators and citizens within society." (2007) This work states as well the fact that in traditional view violence among family members has been considered 'private' and not something discussed with those outside of the family however over the past two decades the justice system has attempted to address the problem through many venues of seeking resolution to the large societal problem."
