Welcome To The Afrocentric News Network TV News Fuels Crime Fears By Earl Ofari Hutchinson, Ph.D Yet Another Racial Double Standard Black Leaders Face Crisis Dilemmas Conspiracy of Silence About AIDS 'Still Second Class Citizens' ... Questions About Jesse Earl Ofari Hutchinson The recent FBI report that crime rates have plunged seven years in a row should be cause for great joy. But many police officials instead have expressed frustration that much of the public still doesn't believe they have. He blamed the media for fueling public perceptions that crime still rages and criminals lurk behind every street lamp. But for many who call the shots in TV newsrooms, frustrated police officials and FBI crime stats aren't likely to change how they present crime news. They've spent the past two decades turning TV- crime verite into a sure fire formula for ratings. That formula is ridiculously simple. Just have helicopters and mobile camera crews hover over or roam around city streets looking for police car chases, dead bodies, gang shoot-outs, and drug busts. And most importantly, make sure those city streets are in black and Latino neighborhoods. The formula is bloody, exploitative, and racist. But it is a smash success. It has hooked so many Americans on the murder and mayhem nightly news broadcasts that the networks have spun off a legion of hybrid clones. These shows simulate live-action crime chases and busts and worse they almost always depict blacks and Latinos as violent criminals. This has convinced many white suburbanites that their lives are at grave risk from violence-prone, drugged out Latinos and African-Americans.

Jean Celestin, a former member of the wrestling team, was convicted in October on charges stemming from an August 1999 sexual assault in an off-campus apartment. A sentence handed down earlier this month allows him to complete his studies and graduate from Penn State before going to jail. The victim of the assault was forced to drop out of school and hasn't resumed her studies. In a letter sent Monday, Howard & Connie Clery SOC's co-founders, argued that there "can be no excuse for allowing someone convicted of this serious a crime, especially against a fellow student, to remain on campus," and asked President Spanier to "do the honorable thing, and not allow this convicted criminal to graduate from Penn State."

Frontline: Juvenile Justice: Stats: Child Or Adult? - A Century Long View public demanded the conservative get tough approach to crime still widely in adultcriminal courts; 31 states passed laws expanding sentencing options; 47 http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/juvenile/stats/childadult.html

var loc = "../../../"; The century old idea in the United States that children and adolescents are less culpable and more able to be rehabilitated than adults who commit crimes has been giving way to a harsher view in recent years. Here's an overview of the evolution of society's attitudes on dealing with juveniles who commit serious crimes. In 18th century America, little distinction was made in the criminal culpability of children versus adults. Juveniles as young as age seven could be tried and sentenced in criminal courts. As psychologists and sociologists began to recognize the emerging notion of adolescence as a developmentally distinct period of life, reformers argued that children should be removed from adult prisons. In 1825, the Society for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency founded the New York House of Refuge, the first institution designed to accommodate juvenile delinquents. Many cities and states soon followed this example and set up similar institutions. Progressive era reformers wanted to attack what they believed were the roots of juvenile delinquencya lack of moral education and standardsand advocated that juvenile institutions include a significant educational and rehabilitative component. For their efforts, the earliest juvenile justice reformers were known as "child savers." During the 1960s, civil libertarians began to raise concerns about the progressive era model of juvenile justice. They argued that despite rhetoric to the contrary, juveniles within the system were not actually being rehabilitated, but rather warehoused in institutions not much different from an adult prisons. If juveniles were going to be treated as adults in the sentencing phase, the advocates argued, they should also be accorded the due process protections afforded to adults in court. They also challenged the broad discretion given to juvenile court judges. In a series of rulings during the 1960s and 1970s, The U.S. Supreme Court agreed; "There is evidence, in fact, that there may be grounds for concern that the child receives the worst of both worlds: that he gets neither the protections accorded to adults nor the solicitous care and regenerative treatment postulated for children," wrote Justice Abe Fortas in

Labour has taken the unusual step of releasing provisional figures covering the ten months to May this year, rather than waiting for the final full-year results. Police Commissioner Rob Robinson declined to comment, but a spokesperson says police officers frequently log on to the database and change details as necessary, and may still have files on their desks for crimes which have not been fed into the computer. The provisional figures indicate a drop in overall and violent crime, and Labour's justice spokesman Phil Goff says the party put them out to counter suggestions the country is in the grip of a crime wave.

The following appeared in a Bermuda newspaper, an article by By Tony McWilliam and Don Burgess: Bermuda's a world leader in prison numbers BERMUDA is a world leader when it comes to locking up criminals. The island tops a global league table for imprisonment, beating out even the U.S. and South Africa. Black Bermudian males, however, are far less likely to be in prison than their U.S. counterparts. Figures show there are currently about 280 people incarcerated in Bermuda at Westgate, the Prison Farm and the Co-Ed Facility, including 25 women and some 49 foreigners. That translates to 48 people per 10,000 people in Bermuda's population, compared to 43 in the U.S., 33 in South Africa and 10 in the U.K.. If non-Bermudian inmates are excluded, the figure for Bermuda drops to 39 per 10,000, which puts the island in second place, below the U.S. A cross section of observers yesterday cited flaws in the education and criminal justice systems and a lack of commitment by law makers to endorse alternative sentencing and support families.

Stats Info Home Research Aids [ Stats Info ] Writing Papers General Refs Not too long ago the typical sources for statistics on a specific topic were those cited in books or journal articles on that topic. Sometimes the authors presented statistics gathered as a result of their own research while at other times they provided statistics gleaned from other sources. Because of the time involved in getting books and articles to press, it was not unusual for students especially to rely on what were often dated statistics. Today there is less justification for term papers and other research projects to use anything other than the most current data on particular topics. Instead on relying on the national murder or rape rate provided in your three-year-old text book or a five-year-old journal article, go directly to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report online and get the most current data. Get crime and prison statistics directly from another country's government page. See what data are gathered about firearms from groups and organizations on every side of the issue. The list is obviously endless and that means that whether you are gathering supplementary statistics in conjunction with your own original research or are simply providing a research paper on a particular topic, you likely have direct access to statistics that are more current than any you could find in an already published source.
