Given Kate’s story, are sex registries useful? Are there better ways to address situations like Kate’s? What are better ways to encourage women and children to report sexual exploitation?

CASE STUDY

In Jordheim’s text we read about Kate’s story. Kate discusses how members of her family traffic her as she’s growing up. When she enters a recovery center she starts to reveal what happened to her over the years. She relates questions that many people would ask, such as “Why didn’t you tell someone? Why didn’t you call the police? Why didn’t you turn them in?” She says that these questions, which are forms of victim blaming are “the questions of an individual who has never been beaten, broken, and brutalized; silenced, drugged, or locked up; burned, cut, or on the hollow end of a gun barrel.” This description explains why the reporting rate is so low. States enact sex registries to protect children from sex crimes. Given Kate’s story, are sex registries useful? Are there better ways to address situations like Kate’s? What are better ways to encourage women and children to report sexual exploitation?

Jurisprudence LAW 301

DB-Question is:

1 – Just because someone who is a juvenile in age does not mean they don’t or can’t commit a truly heinous crime, including murder.

Using a theoretical approach, we learned this semester state why you would agree or disagree with a juvenile receiving Life Without Parole. [Assume the worst crime possible and guilty is 100%].

2 – How does television affect our perceptions of crime?

3 – List a popular belief held by the public related to criminal justice that is a “Myth”. Explain why it is a “Myth” and the impact the “Myth” might have.

4 -What is the rationale for having a separate “juvenile” criminal justice system?

5 – How are crime control policies negatively affected by crime myths?

6 – What is the difference between Rehabilitation and Habilitation?

7 – Various sources of media including social media influence our daily lives and perspectives. News media often report on crimes locally, nationally and internationally. These types of stories get headlines because it draws attention and people watch. Often what the media reports is distorted or biased toward a particular viewpoint that the moderator has.

Does the media have a duty to report stories in a particular way? If so what and why? Give examples.

Create a reaction paper to the song Alice’s Restaurant.

Alice’s Restaurant song 

For this assignment, you will create a reaction paper to the song Alice’s Restaurant. A link to the song is below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m57gzA2JCcM

Links to an external site.

“Alice’s Restaurant Massacree“, commonly known as “Alice’s Restaurant“, is a satirical talking blues song by singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie

Links to an external site., released as the title track to his 1967 debut album Alice’s Restaurant.

The song is a deadpan protest against the Vietnam War draft

Links to an external site., in the form of a comically exaggerated but largely true story from Guthrie’s own life: while visiting acquaintances in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, he is arrested and convicted of dumping trash illegally, which later endangers his suitability for the military draft.

The lyrics of this song probably make no sense whatsoever, but there is a very long story behind it. First of all, there is no restaurant named Alice’s Restaurant. Rather, it is about a woman named Alice who lives near a restaurant. The title refers to a restaurant owned by one of Guthrie’s friends, artist Alice Brock; although she is a minor character in the story, the restaurant plays no role in it aside from being the subject of the chorus and the impetus for Guthrie’s visit.

After he sang the song, he then challenged anyone who is ever in that position to walk in and say, “Shrink – you can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant’ and then walk out. He called it the Alice’s Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement (Alice’s Restaurant Massacree). A movie was then made, using the same name, in which Arlo starred in (feel free to check out the movie if you want – this is not required for this assignment).
