(even in Shakespeare's time there are mentions of the youth at that time being the worst ever)]]> 2016-08-27 01:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nick53/p0ktgscsxl6e/wish/120136716 nick53 https://padlet.com/nick53/p0ktgscsxl6e/wish/120136729 When you actually meet these "rebellous" violent youths in person they are very similar (on the whole) to any bunch of teen age boys...frustrated, angry, wanting to prove themselves to each other, etc etc. The most confusing part of that experience is the similarity. They are kids, their eyes shine when they laugh and smile. They still seek fun for its own sake, and easily lose themselves in a game of touch footy...]]> 2016-08-27 01:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nick53/p0ktgscsxl6e/wish/120136729 nick53 https://padlet.com/nick53/p0ktgscsxl6e/wish/120136750 2016-08-27 01:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nick53/p0ktgscsxl6e/wish/120136750 nick53 https://padlet.com/nick53/p0ktgscsxl6e/wish/120136761 So who gives our innocent young precious next generation the gun (criminal intent)? Social determinants? Hard wired neurological and genetic tendencies? Marginalization? Racism? Corrupt systems of finance and economy? Bad parents? Or are humans just bad? Slipped out of our collective violent evolution into a system of self created idealistic kindnesses (human rights etc.)? All these questions and perceptions can be found in our society. I have made it my personal mission to remain open and honest as I plow through differing research on the topic of reducing youth criminal activity.....]]> 2016-08-27 01:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nick53/p0ktgscsxl6e/wish/120136761 nick53 https://padlet.com/nick53/p0ktgscsxl6e/wish/120136838 When you get past the media (bullshit!) view on youth and crime, the research tends to point towards rehabilitative models and concepts which are hard to pin down as effective or not... I believe this is convoluted because of deep unanswered social questions...These pictures represent the confused array of views about young males involved in crime...How does a society which prizes the innocence of their children deal with youth crime???? It raises a lot of unanswered questions and extreme opinions. Which heavily flavour the research and policy development...]]> 2016-08-27 01:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nick53/p0ktgscsxl6e/wish/120136838
