Rise Of The Victim: Impact Upon Criminal Justice
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Re-establishing -- or in some cases establishing for the first time -- victim rights has sent a tidal wave of unprecedented movement throughout the criminal justice system. That victims have typically been forced to prove their innocence within a system that purports to protect those who have fallen prey to criminal activity has long spoken to the need for a global-wide re-evaluation of how the entire criminal justice process works. With the implementation of the restorative justice movement -- which is 'over two decades old and extends at least as far back as the mid-1970s...' (Immarigeon, 2001, p. PG) -- the rise of the victim has become a mantra for validating once more the essence of victim rights. Bibliography lists 18 sources.

Robert K. Merton's Anomie Theory And Gang Violence
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. There exist a number of components critical to the overall understanding of the Robert K. Merton's anomie theory. That a clear connection can be made between crime and one's social/economic status speaks volumes about the nature of humanity. Indeed, evidenced by the author's rationale is the fact that advanced nations appear to endure a higher level of crime due to their vastly segregated social and economic status, leaving the door wide open for resentment and intolerance, which effectively translates into criminal activity. Merton, highly regarded as one of the most influential sociologist of the twentieth century, re-established Emile Durkheim's original anomie theory that stated humanity's goal-achieving methods severely conflicted with the ultimate goal. When taken in the context of the American Dream, one can better understand the antagonistic relationship that exists between socio-economic limitations and the intrinsic human desire to achieve; as such, one can also readily realize how this struggle applies to gang violence. Merton states this theory based upon five fundamental adaptations: conformity, innovations, ritualistic, retreatist or rebellion. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
