    Young People in the Criminal Justice System

    Young People in the Criminal Justice System

    Australian courts of law constantly deal with youth crime. It would seem that in the last decade young people have come up against the criminal justice system in increasing numbers. Public outrage at the antics and harm caused to the community by youth appears to be growing a tough approach dominating the media and public debate. (Edwards, 2011, p.5). The Australia Bureau of Statistics [ABS] (2010) notes that, “ In 2008-09, the rate of offenders in the criminal justice system was highest for people aged 15-19 years at 5,484 offenders per 100,000 people. The peak age at which young people had police proceedings brought against them was 18 years” (p.1). In 2012 a police operation in Far North Queensland called Colossal has resulted in 500 youths in more 2100 charges (Guppy,p.1) But what events occur prior to this age that predicts a criminal future. Is there a link between misbehaviour at school and the likelihood of at-risk children becoming criminals in the future? It will be argued that when children come to the attention of the police and, as adolescents, come into contact with the criminal justice system, they are already heading for a criminal future. Measures to prevent this from happening are diverse and will be this is examined in this essay. The perspective of social justice workers, the government departments and the police service will be explored. Evidence from the federal governments, 2012 “State of Australia’s Young People” report (Ellis 2012) and research by Renda, Vassallo and Edwards (Renda, Vassallo, Edwards 2011) will support this argument.…

    Summary/Response Essay

    Summary: In the essay, "Part-time Employment Undermines a Student's Commitment to School" by Laurence Steinberg, it explains how studies show that teenagers that work while attending school are more likely to loose their commitment to school. Steinberg tells the affects on students when they work more than twenty hours a week. His theory was that students are more susceptible to losing their interest in school, while working. They may have to work in the evening time, which can interfere with homework, sleep and diet. Steinberg also elaborated on how these students that work receive money that can make school seem less desirable. Also because they do receive money, they can use their extra money to become associated with drugs and alcohol.…
