The Importance of Treatment of ADHD in Children in Regards to Lessening the Likelihood of Future Criminal Behavior and Substance Abuse
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing the importance of early intervention and treatment consisting of medication and therapy in children with ADHD. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects an estimated 3-7% of school children and overall it has been estimated that in the U.S. alone, 8 to 15 million Americans suffer from ADD. ADHD in children is described by physician Stephen J. Gislason as a term which refers to “restless, distractible children who have a knack for disrupting order at home and at school” who are prone to “poor impulse control, often display abrupt mood swings, have inappropriate anger, and sometimes are violent”. While children who have ADHD may suffer from inattention or poor memory, most have “average or above intelligence”. In many cases, children who have ADHD may improve with age but just as many children are considered “permanently handicapped by a combination of poor achievement, low self-esteem, antisocial behavior, and persisting problems of disorganized psychic energy” and it is considered “likely that juvenile delinquency and, later, criminal adaptations and often substance abuse are linked to the ADHD complex.

The Influence of International Organizations on National Policies -- Street Children and Drugs
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses street children in several Latin American nations and the lives they live in which drug use is often the only escape or pleasure they know. In some places in the world, drugs are all that matters to children who live on the street. And why should they expect something more than drugs when their entire short life has been one in which they have had to beg, steal or sell themselves simply to stay alive. Certain international efforts have influenced national programs but the problem is still one of immense proportions. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Israel Kibbutz: Communal Child Care Verses an Emphasis on the Nuclear Family
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page comparison of child rearing practices. While the traditional Israel Kibbutz emphasized the importance of communal child rearing, in the modern kibbutz the Children’s House no longer exists. Children now live with their families and, consequently, their lives have evolved to center around the family rather than the community. It is a change which is related both to the experiences of the parents themselves as children in the old traditional children’s houses and to recent research findings that communal child rearing practices actually have a considerable propensity for resulting in adverse rather than positive impacts to the children it was designed to aid. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The Link Between Human and Animal Abuse
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the relationship between animal cruelty and other antisocial behaviors. The studies that are beginning to emerge along with the publicity that the Humane Society strives to bring to the matter can be expected to raise awareness of the link between animal and human abuse, not only in professional circles but also among the general population. As is the case with other such issues, as the general population begins to hear of the link, it is likely that we also will hear of increased numbers of cases as reporting becomes more common. The Turabian-style bibliography lists 8 sources in 20 footnotes.

The Many Manifestations of Aggression in Children
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page overview of the different manifestations of aggression which occur among our nation’s young people. Notes the importance of both environment factors and genetic factors in determining the form aggression will take. Suggests that by far boys are more likely to exhibit the more serious forms of aggression than are girls and that the intensity of this exhibition increases rather than decreases with age. Devotes particular attention to the problems of verbal aggression, sexual harassment, and acts of over violence. Defines each and examines the different manifestations of each which have occurred during the last few years. These forms of aggression, in particular, are suspected to be the result of deeply rooted psychological problems. This paper suggests that the increase in aggression which we have experienced over the last few years is directly correlated with a decline in societal mores and norms but emphasizes that it is also important to remember that various physiological and genetic factors can be at play as well. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
