John Wayne Gacy: A Victim of the Criminal Justice System
[ send me this essay ]
This 10 paper examines the life and activities of John Wayne Gacy and why he committed heinous crimes. With the use of labeling theory, it is suggested that Gacy might have been able to change things if in fact he were not labeled and ostracized by the community. His childhood, to some extent provides information on why he might have chosen this negative path. Etiology is provided and labeling is viewed as a primary cause. Labeling theory is discussed in depth. In order to predict and prevent other crimes, the Gacy case is used as an example. What is learned from this particular case helps in making suggestions for treating offenders with a similar profile. Finally, criminal justice responses are aligned with positive elements as opposed to the punitive model that currently exists. Rehabilitation and positive treatment options are recommended as is an absence of labels. Megan's law is opposed. The paper sums up with general observations about society, and uses the Gacy case as an example. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Joseph Wambabugh: 'Truth' or Fiction?
[ send me this essay ]
(6 pp) Ralph Waldo Emerson asked, 'What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life but what a man is thinking of all day? This is his fate and his employer. Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so we are.' This statement over a century ago, seems particularly poignant considering police scandals across the country. Is loss of humanity and self, one of the by-products of a police career? Police author Joseph Wambaugh portrays his characters with the resulting human frailties of their work. We will examine his 'fiction' to attempt to see how stress affects this vital section of our workforce. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
