SYG 2010, Crime, Criminal Justice

Alyssa R


The major sociological perspectives include Functionalism, Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interaction Theory. In criminal justice, we are all united and follow the same set of rules and regulations set up by the government. Functionalism Conflict theory comes into play when a criminal of defendant is thinking about what decisions they will make. We all have a conscience and have different ways of making decisions. When we are high or drunk, our decision-making process is affected 

Gustavo Cruz is a wanted fugitive. He has charges of child rape and assault. A conflict theory that could be affected is his decision, based on his lawyer knowing the crimes he committed. Also, the decisions are being biased by the jury. "Gustavo Cruz is wanted for allegedly molesting an 11-year-old child and recording the alleged molestation on his cell phone in Indianapolis, Indiana".

A nonprofit I decided on is the Project 180 which helps convicted criminals who served their time be able to find work, housing, and liable lives. They rehome, mentor and provide stability to people who need it most. "Over 30,000 Florida prisoners are released annually and reenter our communities. Many wish to become law-abiding citizens and have the best intention of living a conventional life yet have few job skills, lack a formal education, and experience discrimination in housing and job markets because of their felony records.

As a result, they become our local statistics—the homeless, the unemployed, the under-educated, the impoverished. Unable to make it in the conventional world, over 76% are rearrested for a new crime within five years which contributes to victimization and drains community resources".

 Blog 3 alcohol and drug’s Alyssa R SYG 2010, Alcohol, Drugs   Alcohol and drugs are a mix of evil in this world. When you have a family member who you lost to addiction, you can see firsthand how it changes someone, and not in a good way. Drugs rewire the brain and become addictive so fast that you won't even be able to tell when the addiction starts.             Alcohol feels great in the moment, but never the next day. It has high sugar and alcohol levels, which are not good for the body. It can alter your entire personality and drive you to the brink of insanity. Also, drinking too much can lead to blacking out and not even remembering your activity. 2. Sociological perspectives, functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism are all affected when a person is not in their normal state of mind It can be fine to have a few drinks, but not knowing what is happening.

Educating yourself with Societal problems.

SYG 2010, Understanding Social Problems  Alyssa Richardson      1. In the world today, scientific methods, such as observation, analysis, and surveys, are used to determine the correct reasoning. Experiments have been devised by many people and are one way researchers use deductive reasoning in natural and physical sciences.    2. Symbolic Interactionism is used in daily life and social interactions. This one is most appealing to me because it is so common and important for humans to interact and provoke their minds. " Symbols, whether verbal or non-verbal, are not inherently meaningful; their significance is derived from social interaction. Rather than viewing individuals as passive products of society, this perspective sees people as active participants who shape their social world through everyday interaction​". 3. Civil liberties are known as inalienable rights for all U.S citizens. We can express ourselves how we want to. Our rights can be violate din ...

  Children, Families, and Schools    SYG 2010, Children, Families, Schools Alyssa Richardson 3/11      The three theories and perspectives are crucial to life and understanding the diverse stories and experiences encountered through the people we meet. Everyone's family has a different story and different hardships. For example, when we first meet a friend, we know nothing about them, but then we get to know them better. Functionalism is crucial to education and adaptation. The education exposes us to experiences out of the norm for social interaction.           Conflict theory argues that highlighting the role of social changes and adaptation builds kids into stronger people. Symbolic interaction focuses on the development of Gender roles, student-teacher relations, and family impact on students at school.
