Social Process Theory: Social Control Theory

Derek did say a couple times that Ben was a mean to people he didn’t like such as Jacob and himself. What was the most damning piece of evidence against Jacob? Was there anything that you felt exonerated him? At First I thought that the knife that Jacob had was a piece that was very hard to disregard, however I feel that the story that Jacob wrote resembling Ben’s murder from the porn site that he always goes on basically was his confession in a sense. To write a story about a murder right after he’s very skeptical, but to know details of the story based from the murder is something that need attention because its shows that he could have been involved.

With his great generosity and acts of philanthropy,he paid his employers more than average and also supported the people(affordable prices). Some may argue that Henry Ford in fact was a Robber Baron or had the characteristics of a Robber Baron instead of a Captain of Industry. He did believe in anti-semitism and was believed to sympathized with the Nazi’s (based on his attacks on the Jewish in the newspaper “Dearborn Independent” and the decoration from Hitler 's government). Henry Ford was a business leader and should be remembered as a Captain of Industry for his great contributions to humanity such as the increase in the economy,the affordability of automobiles, and the good treatment/payment of his

Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller are both labeled as robber barons. Robber barons is a term that means that they stole and were granted special rights, so that they could create monopolies in their fields. This concept is completely wrong though, since both Vanderbilt and Rockefeller worked hard to earn everything they received. Rockefeller and Vanderbilt were both businessmen who made wise business decisions, and created deals that would benefit them. Vanderbilt was a business manager for a ferry entrepreneur, who was breaking the law so that their customers could receive cheaper fares.

Gutman, Cairo, and O’Shaughnessy tracked it down while on their dangerous travels through foreign in countries before coming to San Francisco and meeting Spade. This gives the impression that foreign things bring trouble and destruction to America. Spade is hardly the ideal moral person. He had an affair with his partner’s wife, he is comfortable with criminals and is quite similar to the criminals he deals with. However, he has a different set of morals than criminals like Gutman or Cairo.

Theodore Roosevelt's anti-trust act stopped robber barons in their track's. The Anti-Sherman Trust Act wast the first act to outlaw monopolistic businesses which is reducing the fair market competition of enterprises and monopolies. Theodore Roosevelt sued J.P. Morgan for bad trust's and won the case in The Supreme Court. This was a turning point in America because robber barons didn't own America anymore. It was a time of greed, corruption, and broken capitalism was common in America.

He was shot by his old drug friends when revisiting his childhood home. DeAndre Williams was the major character in this story. He had a dream but thought he couldn 't achieve it because of what he had done. DeAndre was involved in drugs, theft, and shootings. All of these things got him in trouble with the law, so he figured that

Huck is also guided and taught by the runaway slave, and Huck’s best friend, Jim. Throughout the novel, Huck is challenged to look within himself and make good judgement that will affect himself and the people around him, and he gets better at doing this throughout the novel.In the beginning of the novel, there are many examples of Huck being immature and not thinking of anyone except for himself. For example, Huck’s best friend Tom Sawyer starts a gang called the “Tom Sawyer Gang.” The gang was planning on commiting crimes such as theft and murder. The members did not want Huck to be a part of the gang simply because he did not have a family for anyone to kill. When they tell Huck he would not be

When Macbeth sent the murderers to kill Banquo, it was evil to do it for no reason, but it was good that he did not get told that he killed King Duncan. The author types,“The Murderers are street thugs. Some opportunities for comedy in early scenes, but should be downright terrifying in a fight. Hired hands who work as Macbeth 's personal assassins” (General OneFile 1). Instead of Macbeth killing Banquo, he hires murderers to kill him.

This idea is manifested in Camus’ work by Meursault’s trial for his murder of the Arab man. The trial is more of a pretext for Meursault’s killing than it is an actual fair trial (Girard). And while it is true that Meursault has indeed killed the Arab man, it is done so while Meursault is still in a state of Verfallen—meaning that he was not completely aware of his actions. Therefore, in this unique circumstance we have a crime but no criminal (Girard). In the trial, we see Meursault is not tried for the actual shooting of the Arab, but for his paradoxical alienation that he has in relation to society (Chaitin).

Juveniles should be convicted as adults for violent crimes because it is not fair for juveniles to commit big crimes and get away with it so easily. If they want to act like adults, they should be treated. Some teens commit crimes and don't have a really good excuse on why they do it. In the article “On Punishment and Teen Killers” by Jennifer Jenkins she explains how the teenager that killed her sister, husband and her unborn child excuse of killing them was that he just wanted to “see what it would feel like to shoot someone”, which is no good excuse for what he did to this family. Another example from Jennifer's Jenkins article she states how “undeveloped brain” has nothing to do with teens committing these crimes.

Chester and his friend were members, but they messed up when they talked about their gang’s inner workings. They were set up by their gang by placing a guy for them to kill and get arrested. This is how MS-13 keeps its order, by creating examples out of people. Even though Chester and his friend were not killed, he still faced punishment for his act of betrayal. The other type of control would be to jump in their members.

No indictment. And the sad part is if I had known what I know now then I would have not been so surprised. This justice system is unfair, to all of its citzens, but more so black and brown citizens. Michael Brown and his family deserved for justice to brought. Some try and say that michael was a thug or like to bring up the fact that he had possible stolen something but the fact remains that an unarmed teen was killed by a police officer.

Yes, I would agree that some people are just evil, but that is NOT the majority. That is a very, very small minority group and for that, they should serve the appropriate amount of time (Just Deserts). Rehabilitation focuses on the idea that, for the most part, criminals commit crimes due to factors outside their control. I argue that the majority of life choices made by criminals’ and noncriminals’ alike are because of these outside factors. These outside factors shape our actions in all cases and must be adjusted to help people’s process in society.

The era that makes this possible, and gives America the potential to be a great country, is the Progressive Era. The Progressive Era was the era that destroyed many things that the big industrialist liked having (i.e. monopolies) (Whitehead, 2016). The changes in the Progressive Era were not a result of the big industrialist changing their minds, because they like having things that were latter banned in the Progressive Era. The robber barons got rich by cheating the poor people who were either their worker or their customer.

Employers are able to hire undocumented workers, as the government does not strictly enforce the immigration laws. Workers may be falsely promised high wages to find out later on that they are only being cheated. In the book “Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market” by Eric Schlosser, it tells its readers that keeping workers off the books is the easiest way to reduce labor costs. “Growers are often obligated to pay unemployment taxes and workers’ compensation premiums for each of their employees, in addition to Social Security and Medicare Taxes. Paying an “invisible worker” in cash lowers the cost of that worker by at least 20 percent.” (Schlosser 83) After knowing employers commit these infractions, they may even falsify numbers or hours worked in order to avoid paying any overtime hours.
