    When horrific crimes occur in large cities, many of them can be chalked up to gang violence or to the larger population of that specific city. But when horrific crimes happen in small cities like Lincoln, Nebraska, people begin to ask questions like who did this and why. In 1958, a nineteen year old man named Charles Starkweather put the entire state of Nebraska and possibly the entire nation in a state of terror. With his murder spree taking only three days, Starkweather had collected a body count of ten bodies, including two teenagers and a young child. Understanding Starkweather’s past and state of mind begins to answer the second question of why.

  • The History and Progression of the Foster Care System

    2496 Words  | 5 Pages

    A foster parent, as defined by the Health reference series second edition, is an individual who is licensed to provide a home for an orphaned, abused, neglected, delinquent or disabled child (Matthews, 2004). A permanent placement is one that is intended, but not guaranteed, to last forever (Barth & Berry 1988). Foster care is not for delinquents but somewhere for children go when their parents can no longer care for them. A form of foster care has always been around in early Christian churches where “worthy widows” would board children in need and were paid by church collections. Foster care started in 1562 during the time of the English poor laws, which stated the poor children were allowed to be placed in legal services until they reached of aged (nfpaonline.org). In the 1970’s, foster care increased in popularity but foster parents were seen as unfit to adopt children permanently (Barth and Berry, 1988). In 1980 the Adoption Assistance of Child Welfare Act (public law 96-272) made it clear that the most desirable permanent placement for children is with their own family. The law...

Even Gail garinger who was a former juvenile judge believes that they are capable such manner, In her article, “Juveniles Don’t Deserve Life Sentences” written March 14, 2012 and published by New York Times, it states that “as a former juvenile court judge, I have seen firsthand the enormous capacity of children to change and turn themselves around. The same malleability that makes them vulnerable to peer pressure also makes them promising candidates for rehabilitation”. I believe, and still do, that even though juveniles that have taken a wrong path, regardless of what they 've done, need guidance from us and people who were once juveniles to mentor them and be given a second chance, just as I did a long time ago.

  • Case Study Tonya

    521 Words  | 2 Pages

    Due to the fact that the case study explains how Tonya was retained in kindergarten, I would be comfortable saying Tonya is somewhere in the age grouping of seven or eight years old, making her fit into the middle childhood stage. I feel in some way that Tonya is more mature for her age. She has to get up to take care of her brother, which obviously means she is getting herself ready in the morning for school. Tonya’s social-emotional development fits more for a child in their early adolescent stage. Since the teacher explains, “Tonya challenged my patience, professionalism, and decision making” (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2010, pp. 3). This type of development is primarily shown in the grouping of ten to fourteen years of age. Tonya’s aggression may be because some children show poor behaviors towards peers that are unacceptable (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2010). This is typical for children in her age group even if it is only a small percentage.

    Foster homes are a type of non-secure confinement that may or may not be associated with an offense. If a court finds that a youth's parent or guardian is unfit that youth may be placed into a temporary household. Not all youths placed in foster care are criminals, some are orphaned or in need of supervision. Foster homes do prove useful in helping children that have mental, developmental, and emotional disabilities. The foster parents before placement have already been carefully screened. The goal of foster care is not to create a permanent home for these youths, but rather a nourishing temporary setting focused on rehabilitation. The main difference between group homes and foster homes it the level of supervision. Foster homes use foster parents as a means of structure and supervision; whereas group homes are a community based facility where supervision is minimal while providing a home-like setting. Both foster homes and group ...
