Book Synopsis The Criminal Child by : Jean Genet

Download or read book The Criminal Child written by Jean Genet. This book was released on 2020-01-21. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Criminal Child offers the first English translation of a key early work by Jean Genet. In 1949, in the midst of a national debate about improving the French reform-school system, Radiodiffusion Française commissioned Genet to write about his experience as a juvenile delinquent. He sent back a piece that was a paean to prison instead of the expected horrifying exposé. Revisiting the cruel hazing rituals that had accompanied his incarceration, relishing the special argot spoken behind bars, Genet bitterly denounced any improvement in the condition of young prisoners as a threat to their criminal souls. The radio station chose not to broadcast Genet’s views. “The Criminal Child” appears here with a selection of Genet’s finest essays, including his celebrated piece on the art of Alberto Giacometti.

Book Synopsis The Age of Culpability by : Gideon Yaffe

Download or read book The Age of Culpability written by Gideon Yaffe. This book was released on 2018. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why be lenient towards children who commit crimes? Reflection on the grounds for such leniency is the entry point into the development, in this book, of a theory of the nature of criminal responsibility and desert of punishment for crime. Gideon Yaffe argues that child criminals are owed lesser punishments than adults thanks not to their psychological, behavioural, or neural immaturity but, instead, because they are denied the vote. This conclusion is reached through accounts of the nature of criminal culpability, desert for wrongdoing, strength of legal reasons, and what it is to have a say over the law. The centrepiece of this discussion is the theory of criminal culpability. To be criminally culpable is for one's criminal act to manifest a failure to grant sufficient weight to the legal reasons to refrain. The stronger the legal reasons, then, the greater the criminal culpability. Those who lack a say over the law, it is argued, have weaker legal reasons to refrain from crime than those who have a say. They are therefore reduced in criminal culpability and deserve lesser punishment for their crimes. Children are owed leniency, then, because of the political meaning of age rather than because of its psychological meaning. This position has implications for criminal justice policy, with respect to, among other things, the interrogation of children suspected of crimes and the enfranchisement of adult felons.

Book Synopsis Criminal Children by : Emma Watkins

Download or read book Criminal Children written by Emma Watkins. This book was released on 2018-10-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of juvenile crime, punishment, and reform in England in the years before, during, and after the era of Charles Dickens. How were juvenile delinquents dealt with in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? What dire circumstances led to their behavior? Were the efforts to curb their criminal tendencies successful? From 1820–1920, ideas about youth and transgression changed dramatically in the United Kingdom. Criminal Children delves into this period to uncover fascinating insight into the neglected subject of childhood crime and punishment, and the “invention” of juvenile delinquency. Drawing on the life stories of twenty-four “bad seeds,” true crime journalists Emma Watkins and Barry Godfrey explore every aspect of these young and desperate lives: their experiences in prisons, reformatory schools, industrial schools, borstals, and female factories; their trials and criminal petitions; and the harrowing transport to Australia—considered the last resort for adult convicts and children alike. Including resources for researching one’s own criminal forebears, Criminal Children is “an interesting book to anybody who wants to know more about juvenile offenders in England” (Nell Darby, author of Life on the Victorian Stage).

Book Synopsis My Story: From a Lovely Child to a Criminal by : Ramiro Alvarado

Download or read book My Story: From a Lovely Child to a Criminal written by Ramiro Alvarado. This book was released on 2014-10-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My cousin Ramiro had a very difficult and challenging childhood growing up. One with no positive role models in his life. At the most crucial time in his childhood, where the love and influence of a father was most needed, it wasn't there. He was then forced to look for the love and guidance he was looking for out in the streets. A life full of gangs, drugs and crime which ultimately had him seen and experience things at a young age that no young teen should experience. This ultimately landed him in and out of juvenile hall most if not all his teenage years and even into his young adult life. It wasn't until he hit rock bottom when he realized that only the grace and love of God could pick him up from the pit he was in, forgive him for all his wrong doings and make him into the man God wanted him to be. I personally couldn't be more proud and astonished at what God has been able to do in his life. God has blessed him with a beautiful family of his own. God is daily forming him into the father, the husband and son he's always wanted him to be. And although things have not come easy over the years, he has stayed the course and is daily keeping his eye on the prize. Not only is he heavily involved in the ministry in his own church, but has volunteered his time to outreach in different jails, as a clergymen in the local police agencies and through a local television ministry. He has been a true inspiration to what God can do with anyone who is willing to humble themselves and trust in his every word. May God bless you and your family and continue to reach many lives in need of Him, as when you first needed Him years ago as a young man.
