Extractions: Graduate Program Program in Criminology and Deviance What causes crime? Why do some people violate norms? What can or should be done about such acts? Why do we have the laws that we do and how are they enforced? What empirical research knowledge exists on these issues? The sociology of crime and deviance is the study of the making, breaking, and enforcing of law and social norms. Its aim is to understand empirically and to develop theories explaining criminal and deviant behavior, the formation and enactment of the law, and the operation of the criminal justice system. The Departmental program offers the opportunity for advanced studies in criminology, sociology of law, and sociology of deviance. Participating Faculty Ronald L.

Extractions: This paper looks at the causes of criminal behavior. It looks at the constitutional theory and evolutionary argument, but ultimately concludes that they are weak in their attempts to explain criminality in terms of a generalized, deterministic theory of heredity or physical constitution. It also concludes that in reality, there is no single explanation of criminal behavior and, although biological factors may be the principal cause of one individual's criminality, in another it may be environmentally influenced and in yet another it could be psychologically based.

http://www.albany.edu/museum/wwwmuseum/criminal/curator/nicole.html

Extractions: The idea that people can be born bad goes back at least as far as the Old Testament, which accounts for the transmission of original sin by relating the story of the fall of Adam and Eve. The Bibles theological concept of original sin was translated into scientific terms during the first days of the American republic, when Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, proposed a biological explanation for the behavior of people who seemed unable to obey the law.1 The concept of inherent criminality has evolved through many stages since Benjamin Rushs day. This exhibit asks how proponents of the various biological explanations of criminality presented their theories and persuaded audiences of those theories validity. Phrenology: ca The first systematic efforts to identify biological causes of crime were made as part of the broader science of phrenology, an approach to understanding human behavior that is usually traced back to the work of Franz Joseph Gall (d. 1828), an Austrian physician. According to Gall and other phrenologists, each of our mental abilities is located in a separate part of the brain and functions independently, in relative isolation from the others.
Reality Check: Marijuana And Youth Violence
Crime holds that while there is no drug which itself causes someone to commit a crime,drug use is held to be one of several major causes of criminal behavior.
http://www.health.org/reality/articles/2001/youthviolence.asp

Extractions: Marijuana is often viewed by youth and some adults as a relatively benign drug. Prevention professionals often hear marijuana's effects described as, "It makes you mellow. It's not like alcohol, which makes you aggressive. It makes you just want to chill." So, the link between marijuana and violence may not always be readily apparent. But, consider these facts: In a study of more than 1,000 inner-city youth , those who admitted monthly or more use of marijuana in their early adolescent years reported greater frequency of using weapons and perpetrating violence as well as a higher vulnerability to be victims of violence. Aggressive anti-social behavior is clearly linked to frequency of marijuana use. The more a young person used marijuana, the more likely he/she was to attack other people or destroy another person's property, according to data from the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the 1994-96 National Household Surveys A Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services report showed that marijuana-using teens themselves said they were more prone than non-users to behaviors such as destruction of property and physical attacks on other teens. The same self-report study showed that young people who use marijuana are four times more likely to engage in violence and three times more likely than non-users to consider suicide (violence against themselves).

Mr. Speaker, everyone was horrified by these terrible shootings in Littleton, Colorado yesterday. This is one of the worst tragedies that has ever occurred in this Nation. There is nothing worse that can happen to parents than to outlive one of their children, and certainly, the sympathies of all of us go out to the families who lost loved ones in Colorado yesterday. Many years ago I taught American government and journalism at T.C. Williams High School here in Alexandria, Virginia. I go to 75 or 80 schools each year and have 15 or 20 school groups visit me here in Washington, as well as speaking to many, many youth groups through the year. I am around thousands of teenagers each year. So this tragedy has really been on my mind last night and today. I remember several months ago, after one of these other school shootings, I was driving to the airport here in Washington to go home to Tennessee. The national head of the YMCA was on the CBS national radio news. He said something that I have never forgotten. He said that our children are being neglected today in this country as never before in our history.

Extractions: Updated: Sociobiology, in its most recent form, dates from the 1970s and the work of Edward O. Wilson. However, the roots of sociobiology are older. The first use of the term sociobiology likely dates to the work of Warder C. Allee, Alfred E. Emerson, and their associates in their 1949 book, Principles of Animal Ecology. Sociobiogists study the behavior of social animals, including humans. Sociobiology developed from studies in population biology and genetics. Research in the social insects, especially ants and honey bees, had shown that the old Darwinian maxim of individual selection, of individuals working for their own reproductive success, did not seem to apply to those groups. The worker castes of those species do not reproduce; yet, their behavior in defense of their nests was tenacious and often life-threatening to the defenders. How could such behavior be explained? The answers began to crystallize when Hamilton (1964) developed the concept of inclusive fitness. Inclusive fitness incorporated not only one's own reproductive success, but also the reproductive success of relatives. In the social insects, all of the workers born of the same queen are full sisters, but, they are all even more closely related to their mother, the queen. So, if one transfers the logic of evolution from the individual to genes, then the behavior of social insects begins to make sense. When workers die in defense of their nests, they are more likely to increase the likelihood of their genes' survival, even though they died in the effort.

http://members.tripod.com/lheanna/sociopat.htm

Extractions: In April of 1999, Rebecca Horton wrote this paper, entitled "The Sociopath." Sociopaths have always existed in varying form and to various degrees. They have been known by various titles. They have been studied using various techniques, and through the years their ailment has been blamed on various causes. But one thing never varies: all sociopaths share three common characteristics. They are all very egocentric individuals with no empathy for others, and they are incapable of feeling remorse or guilt. Sociopathology has been studied throughout history since at least the early 19th century. During much of that time, this type of mental illness was known as psychopathology. In 1930, G.E. Partridge proposed that the title of psychopath be changed to sociopath , for he viewed this illness as a social problem instead of just a mental illness. In 1952, the American Psychiatric Association acted on this suggestion by officially replacing the term psychopath with the term sociopath . But to this day, these two terms are used interchangeably (Culwell, 1998). These terms actually have slight differences in their meanings. According to C.R. Bartol, "The term psychopath is usually used to describe a mental illness, the sociopath is an individual who habitually violates known norms and laws" (as cited in Culwell, 1998, p.2). The main difference between the two is the consistent criminal behavior of the sociopath. Therefore, "all sociopaths are psychopathic, while not all psychopaths are sociopathic, due to the absence of the overt criminal behavior that defines sociopathology" (Culwell, 1998, p.2). In 1968, the American Psychiatric Association once again changed the title of this illness and merged these two previous terms under the label of

Extractions: Anne Morrison Piehl (John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University) It appears that John DiIulio's 1996 plea in the Journal of Economics Perspectives to attract economists to "help" with the analysis of criminal justice concerns has succeeded! In the past several years, economists have made substantial contributions to the study of trends in and causes of crime, the operation of criminal justice, and public policy. The contributions of economists to these fields have moved far beyond their traditional (narrow) role, which was analyzing crime as a time allocation problem and in trying to measure the aggregate effects of deterrence and/or the macro economy. The study of crime and criminal justice is informed by the work of scholars and practitioners from a large number of fields, including criminology, sociology, psychology, and law. Economists have particular contributions to make due to our orientation toward understanding individual behavior, the aggregation of individual choices and actions, and disentangling causality. In this short essay I have tried to capture the breadth of the contributions by economists, but have had space to include only a few references to specific papers. I. Criminal Behavior

Antisocial Behavior in Youth: Causes, Consequences and Interventions By Stephanie Moseley Extended Essay Project Teacher: Skelton Technical Advisor: Hill M. Walker Eugene, Oregon November 29, 1999 Abstract In recent years the number of children and youth who have taken a path to school failure, delinquency and violence has grown significantly. Children start along this path of destructive behavior because they are exposed to family, neighborhood, school and/or societal risk factors at a young age. These factors include poverty, harsh parenting, family transitions, and many more. A strong link has been established between these risk factors and the development of destructive behaviors and other long term negative outcomes. However, these patterns can be avoided if a child is identified and treated early enough. Many intervention models have been proven to be successful. This paper will review the risk factors, the path toward violence, early identification and finally, prevention. Methods of investigation included surveys of the literature, interviews with researchers, and an observation of an intervention. This research has led me to the conclusion that schools have the responsibility to both identify at-risk children early in their school careers and to intervene with these students (and others involved such as parents, teachers, peers, etc.) in order to divert them from this path toward violence. When this path leads to delinquency and criminal behavior society pays a far greater price than that of early identification and intervention.

http://www.cannabis.com/untoldstory/hemp_8.shtml

Extractions: Recently, narcotics officers raided the house of a suspected marijuana dealer in Wisconsin. The unarmed suspect, who offered no resistance, was shot to death in front of his 7-year-old son . His crime? Possession of 1 ounce of marijuana. In Oklahoma, a wheelchair-bound paraplegic who used medicinal marijuana to control muscle spasms caused by his broken back was sentenced to 10 years in prison . His crime? Possession of 2 ounces of marijuana. Another Oklahoma man is serving 75 years in prison for growing only 5 marijuana plants. (These are not misprints.) Prohibition is the number one cause of America's exploding prison population. Many non-violent drug offenders are now serving longer prison sentences than murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals. It costs taxpayers $30,000 per year to imprison just one non-violent drug offender. Politicians are spending billions of tax dollars to build new prisons and jails so more and more non-violent drug offenders can be warehoused. Meanwhile, funding for education and other services are being strained. Reducing drug abuse is a desirable goal, but law enforcement methods used to obtain that goal are counterproductive. Prohibition costs billions to enforce, creates a black market that generates violence and corruption, and makes criminals out of millions of productive and harmless adults. Adult use of alcohol and tobacco is accepted, but adult use of marijuana is considered criminal behavior. Why?
