The labeling theory (Pp. 192) is a major aspect of the social process (Pp. 181) within communities of global societies. The social process is required even when yielding painful experiences for any human or age group of society, because the human species is required to experience objective interpersonal activities to function properly. In other words as a species of high--intelligence the human sustains sanity based on self--expression, and complications during the process of self--expression challenges the maturity phases juveniles are destined to graduate from (Schmalleger, 2014-01-01).
County Jail and Small Crime Consequence vs. Prison and Life Sentences
(Social Process): Deviance has 3 components:
- Pure Deviance: Open violent intent and shameless expression of aggression
- Falsely Accused: Accepting sticky situations, obeying the consequences & law even as the victim of terrorism. Doing the time, practicing temperance, and forgiving to a certain extent depending on how valuable your normal social activities are compared to the value of the terrorists which could mean they are not clean enough to interact or touch you therefore unless pestered frequently they are forgotten. Ratio is you are more valuable and that was the motive for them to get the attention they had been obsessing over for quite some time.
- Secretly Deviant: The heroine dealer says to the mother and infant -- "I need you and use you, because you got a 'clean' rap sheet, and no one would think you're trafficking heroin" (for example: Dealer, 1957).
Juvenile Delinquency & Implementing the Fear Factor for Deterrence:
Waiving juveniles from kids' courts into adult court is not preferable, because
their age groups are far too different to merge the psychological standing into
the same social groups of imprisonment. There could be potential to affect
youth offenders in a very negative way based on the inability of very violent
adult offenders not holding the capacity of self--control that leads to prison
sexual violence, other forms of physical abuse, mental abuse, and only is an
addition to the social process of the free world bias, prejudice and racism that
ultimately led the youth offender into the current offender status. Social process
(Pp. 181) is pressure and requires the attitude of 'survival of the smartest' type of
identity. However, according to theorists "Social learning emphasizes a role within
society that allows freedom of expression, talents, abilities, and values" (Schmalleger, 2014-01-01),
whereas the opportunity is thwarted during the journey/social process which blocks
by all means available the equality mandatory to access such lifestyle privileges.
Deterrance by use of the fear factor when waiving youth offenders into adult courts is
an awesome technique, but the major concern is remaining alive to make it out of the
vicious, violent, horrifying prison environment where electric shock therapy, beatings,
homemade shanks, razors, 23 hour lockdowns, starvation, fumigation, and filthy sanitation
is potentially a sentence of suicidal tendencies or death by violence when seeking a form
of escapism. Comfort could also be a socialization tool to prevent violent altercations while
equally experiencing the same percentage of violence, but prison sexual violence is utilized
for physical protection of immediate death.
Instead, the fear factor is and remains a great technique for youth offender enlightenment into
where they are presently, how to appreciate the 12 step programs for changing character, and
altering what could lead to a realistic prison term in the adult prison environment. However,
bringing the adult prison environment briefly in lecture form to a youth offfender environment
is more productive than endangering further the lives of human offender who have not yet
reached a full maturation of character, and possess a high potential for personality change as well as
correction in preparation to transition back into society for a successful future.
Labeling Theory and Correctional Juvenile Youth Offenders (Pp. 181, 182, 191, 192, 193, 194):
It takes a village, it takes two to Tango, and an Army is better than One are awesome
concepts when the stakes are lowered and the majority gains favor, but the kid gains
nothing. These same concepts should intelligently get transferred into youth offender
programs. The efforts and energies of creating a music concert is an Army's worth of work.
Why can't a music concert assisting the reversal of defective personality traits inherited
from pressures of the social process and social learning structures receive just as much
effort when the gain is not a 'crazy' child, but one that doesn't shame your own community.
Many of the old--school programs have gone under that had time to spend inside youth schools to influence
and deter criminal activities before the ignorance results in death, endangerment, prison, jail, and
broken families. Grant monies were consumed instead by wasteful programs that served more better
programs, but the youth seemed to get scattered from household to household, drug use hightened,
crime activities were strengthened, and overall prejudice turned into hatred of thy neighbor.
Coalition groups after 9/11 began taking crime--fighting into their own hands, as well as distributing
equal consequences in getting retribution for losses. What the United States used to be may not be
worse today, but it most definately is different. Updating one's intelligence in the ways the society
have changed may be as equally gainful or powerful as getting a Microsoft Office program and
Android cellular phone update to continue functioning properly.
The Labeling proponents are helpful in deterring criminal activities of youth offenders, but there will
always be a level of insult prior to getting a certain racial or cultural group "tagged" (Pp. 191).
(Schmalleger, 2014-01-01) as the "crime" of society when they haven't even committed a criminal
act. This is when a less fortunate individual bullies a more fortunate individual, and utilize terrorism
(Pp. 384, 399) to pretend their perspective makes sense, even selling foster babies to gain the
credibiltiy they need to engrave their odd opinions and impose in places they are initially uninvited to
participate in. Furthermore, when 'tagged' with thief, prostitute, paramour, big foot, big nose,
undesirable hair, etc. during the social process (Pp. 181) of "conditioning" (Pp. 125) utilizing a
community of "organized criminals" (Pp. 319, 321) to shun individuals from expressing a desired
personality then the "secret deviant" (Pp. 193) wins the show time and time again with a continuous
flow of "terrorism" (Pp. 384) and "hate crimes" (Pp. 271 ,272) is the social process at this point which
leaves no reason to live (Schmalleger, 2014-01-01). Or, at least that is what the terrorist has been expecting,
and continues to expect in return for his efforts...suicide.
The Results of Juvenile 'Get-Tough' Policies: Big Youth versus Small Youth Accountability
Moving the small youth offender into adult prison or jail modules to represent
the big youth offender is not a good idea.
Examples do not need to get presented to me personally to take me through a journey of how
youth offenders have the capacity to harm women. The opinion tabulated have already
calculated what would work in ratio to what wouldn't. Therefore I believe overall
education, teaching, and mentoring from youth to youth is a solution.
Furthermore, in a controlled environment of healing as in "restorative justice" (Pp. 234)
is the only prison sentence process I have in mediating for the sake of small youth.
The Small Youth, Big Youth Theory (Sakhi, 2018) results in the more experienced crook
teaching the even younger crooks to change their ways, then receive reward. Simple.
