... robbery to running away from home. But an action for which a youth may be declared a delinquent in one community may not be against the law in another community. In some communities, the police ignore many children who are accused of minor delinquencies or refer them directly to their parents. But in other communities, the police may refer such children to a juvenile court, where they may officially be declared delinquents. Crime statistics, though they are often incomplete and may be misleading, do give an indication of the extent of the delinquency problem. The FBI reports that during the early 1980's, about two-fifths of all arrests in the United States fo ...

Because kids are the source of new slang, some adults look down on it with the assumption that kids are unintelligent and simply rebelling against established English grammar and diction. However, most of the adults did the same thing when they were children. Adults have been frowning on slang for generations (Crystal 104). Conservatives also look down upon slang because slang is not used by people of high status. If they hear someone speaking in Jive, they will be angry because Jive is not the way that high class people speak. People who do not like sl ...
... concerning fair play as far as medieval combat among your peers was concerned. Do not attack an unarmed knight - allow him to arm himself first, if you unhorse your opponent and your opponent is still able to fight, get off your horse to fight, etc. - fair play with honor and respect. At the end, there still was a winner, and the winner ended up with more respect and admiration from those concerned that had he fought without chivalry. What am I getting at? Capitalism can be much the same way.

... new law did was to legitimize the use of the FBI's national computer network,the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) for non-criminal purposes. All of the programs are voluntary. In some cases the police departments retain the records, while in others the fingerprint cards are turned over to the parents for safekeeping. The apparent purpose of the program is to help provide positive identification to link either children picked up, or bodies recovered, with missing person notices.

As time passed, they settled on various pieces of land and hunted, fished and grew crops. Alfred Bailey mentions that, "It had been suggested that Siouans, the Iroquoians and Algonquians were among the first to enter America."1 Before the Europeans arrived, there were many native tribes that were already settled. By the time Europeans arrived in North America, they found natives occupying large amounts of land.2 The Indians helped start the history of New France.
