Compare and contrast problems faced by young male and young females offender when they come into contact with the criminal justice system.
- similarities and differences faced by young male and females is the question
- The criminal justice system (courts) puts harsher penalties upon the male juveniles due to statistics showing they r the main offenders. Thisis a basic thinking upon our society, as females are obviously seen as the more emotinal sex thus judges are able to take pity upon their emotional inadequacy. While juvenile males on the other hand have a moral restriction where thye have not been so free with their emotions. Since judges are able to take the emotions which are shown in court into sentencing process, thus it could be said, female juveniles will recieve a less harsher penalty then juvenile males due to statistics and moral attitudes of our society today upon males.
- Furthermore Police are also quite awae of the statistics which are present by the Beruea of statistics... Thus a article was printed on SMH "Black and Blues"- 6/7/05 where it was outlines police were using their discretionary powers only upon aboroginal males in redfern. ONce again this evidence backs up the claim how differently a male and a female is treated in the criminal justice system. That is police have the right to search and break up gathering on the street under Young offender act 1997(NSW) but due to statistics they will apply their discretionary powers upon males more then females thus bringing upon discrimination between males and female juveniles in the criminal justice system.
Regardless of the differences, both male and female juveniles are able to access Children's court, with all fees paid for by legal aid without any question. But it is just after they arrive at court, the discriminatory factors come into action, and also before court by police practicing discrimnaoty dicrestion brings upon intitutionalised inequality.
NOTE: MY TEACHERS DID NOT TEACH US ANYTHIGN ABOUT THIS SECTION, I WAS IN UR POSITION TOO. i thought about what i knew and applied it to the quarion, by breaking down what criminal justice system is
- Many ppl r saying not to compare and contrast young male and young female but just to generally compare and contast problems faced by "juveniles" offenders... i do not know how to answer that way ... but i read the question as comparing the male and felmales ... but if u answered this way maybe u can throw in what u wrote.
