Scared Straight
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Battling the criminal element has been an ongoing and increasingly difficult objective since man's first presence was recorded. Deviant behavior in human beings is hard-wired into the species' psyche; when coupled with such additional elements as negative environmental influence, the prevalence for criminal behavior accounts for significant occurrence even in a civilized society. To catch such behavior at the earliest point and restructure the thinking process of a young perpetrator is the fundamental approach of such shock programs as Scared Straight, a high-profile tertiary approach to prevention that engages violent youth in brief encounters with inmates who describe "the brutality of prison life or short-term incarceration in prisons or jails" (The Department of Health and Human Services, 2001) with the expectation of shocking - and thereby deterring - adolescents from committing crimes. While a program such as this has all the markings of a successful outcome and lower recidivism rates, statistics have illustrated how such hard-core approaches may actually increase criminal behavior instead of prevent it. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

[ send me this essay ]

Scott Turow's "Presumed Innocent"
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. The anticipation of never truly knowing who actually committed the murder until the very end of the book makes author Scott Turow's first literary attempt not only one of the most suspenseful legal thrillers ever written, but it also illustrates how things might not always be what they seem. Turow's special gift in Presumed Innocent is keeping his readers guessing as to whether Sabich is really the killer or has anything at all to do with the murder; that an uncomfortable amount of circumstantial evidence begins to pool around Sabich's feet gives the reader pause as to real his involvement. Indeed, knowing upfront he had an affair with the murdered Carolyn Polhemus immediately makes the reader suspicious of Sabich's ultimate connection, especially since the romance ended on a sour note; however, there is enough evidence in his favor to truly leave the reader undecided all the way until Turow reveals the killer. No additional sources cited.
