Este capítulo resume la experiencia de Inglaterra en la implementación de la educación para la ciudadanía en las escuelas. Explica que la educación para la ciudadanía se estableció por ley en 2002 para ser ofrecida en todas las escuelas secundarias financiadas por el estado. Sin embargo, su implementación ha enfrentado desafíos como la falta de recursos, la baja prioridad que le dan los directores, y la escasez de formación para los profesores.

1) Capital punishment has been deemed an appropriate sanction for extreme crimes that grievously affront humanity.
2) Studies show reductions in murder rates correlated with increased use of the death penalty. For example, Texas saw a 60% drop in its murder rate after increasing executions.
3) Some argue the death penalty deters crime by ensuring would-be criminals understand the full consequences of their actions. A murderer admitted he shot a victim because "he knew he wouldn’t go to the chair."
Anti Death Penalty Arguments provide three main reasons against capital punishment. First, innocent people have been executed and there is no way to remedy this once carried out. Research shows 1 in 7 on death row in the US have been found innocent. Second, the death penalty costs significantly more than life in prison due to legal costs and appeals process. It also does not effectively deter crime. Third, the system is applied arbitrarily and is often discriminatory towards the poor and marginalized who cannot afford proper legal defense.
This document discusses research on factors that influence support for the death penalty among college students. The study found that emotional opposition, retribution, morality, and views on law and order were statistically significant influences, while other factors like religion, fear of crime, and personal characteristics were not. The document goes on to discuss broader research on determinants of death penalty views and opinions.
The_Economics_of_Same-Sex_Parenting _ Reporting_TexasYimou Lee
Same-sex parenting faces economic challenges in Texas. Michelle Randolph lost her health insurance after budget cuts eliminated her teaching job, leaving her struggling with medical costs from breast cancer. As a same-sex couple, Randolph and her partner Emily Parks are not provided health insurance or other benefits by the state of Texas. Same-sex parents also miss out on tax credits and Social Security benefits available to married heterosexual couples. They additionally face social and legal hurdles such as having their relationships and parenting rights questioned. While the number of same-sex parents is higher in Texas than the national average, discrimination remains common even in Austin, and full legal protections remain out of reach.
Report: Texas jails and prisons warehousing thousands of mentally illunevendock6891
Thousands of mentally ill individuals are incarcerated in Texas jails and prisons instead of receiving psychiatric treatment. The report found that jails in several Texas counties have high percentages of inmates on psychotropic medication or in need of them, with some jails functioning as the largest mental institutions in the state. Mentally ill people frequently cycle through the system, sometimes spending years incarcerated. Texas has very low numbers of public psychiatric beds and low spending on mental health, contributing to overcrowding as jails house mentally ill inmates who cannot be transferred to inadequate state hospital capacity. The report recommends improving treatment for the mentally ill in prisons and jails, promoting diversion programs, and increasing psychiatric resources.
The document provides several reasons against the death penalty: (1) innocent people have been wrongly executed and there is no recourse once the sentence is carried out; (2) it is more expensive than life in prison without parole; (3) it does not act as an effective deterrent for crime. Research shows that 1 in 7 people sentenced to death in the US are later found innocent, and the system is prone to errors.
1) Support for the death penalty has fallen to a 40-year low according to a recent poll, with conservatives, prosecutors, and victims' families questioning its effectiveness.
2) The risk of wrongfully executing innocent people cannot be tolerated given that over 155 people have been wrongly sentenced to death since 1973. It is also financially burdensome, with some counties increasing taxes or cutting staff to fund costly death penalty trials and appeals.
3) Law enforcement officials argue the hundreds of millions spent on the death penalty would be better used to reduce crime through other initiatives, and it provides no closure for victims' families who often face decades of trials and appeals.
The document outlines several arguments against the death penalty, including:
1) Innocent people have been executed and there is no way to remedy this once carried out. Research shows 1 in 7 on death row in the US are later found innocent.
2) The death penalty system is fraught with errors and flaws that could lead to innocent lives being taken by the state.
3) It is more expensive than life in prison, costing around $2 million per execution on average versus $500,000 for life in prison.
4) Poor defendants are more likely to receive the death penalty due to receiving inadequate legal defense from overworked public defenders.

Perceptions Of Hispanic Offenders Toward Reentry Programsmgmoggio
This document provides an overview of perceptions of Hispanic offenders toward reentry programs. It discusses the large number of prisoners in the US, particularly among minority populations. Reentry programs aim to prepare ex-convicts to successfully reintegrate into society. However, offenders face many challenges upon release, such as substance abuse, illness, lack of education and employment opportunities. The author proposes a case study to explore perceptions of Hispanic inmates and staff regarding reentry programs' impacts and effectiveness. Interviews will be conducted and analyzed to identify themes.
This document discusses variables related to the male and female prison populations in the United States. It provides statistics on ethnic populations, age, gender, sentences, security levels, offenses, and mental health of inmates. A survey was also conducted of students in a sociology class about these topics. The survey results showed that students were most accurate in their responses about the total US inmate population, the average inmate age, the percentage of the population that is male inmates, and the percentage of female prison officers.
The race industry and its elite enablers take it as self-evident tha.pdfaptcomputerzone
The race industry and its elite enablers take it as self-evident that high black incarceration rates
result from discrimination. At a presidential primary debate this Martin Luther King Day, for
instance, Senator Barack Obama charged that blacks and whites “are arrested at very different
rates, are convicted at very different rates, [and] receive very different sentences . . . for the same
crime.” Not to be outdone, Senator Hillary Clinton promptly denounced the “disgrace of a
criminal-justice system that incarcerates so many more African-Americans proportionately than
whites.”
Racial activists usually remain assiduously silent about that problem. But in 2005, the black
homicide rate was over seven times higher than that of whites and Hispanics combined,
according to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics. From 1976 to 2005, blacks committed over
52 percent of all murders in America. In 2006, the black arrest rate for most crimes was two to
nearly three times blacks’ representation in the population. Blacks constituted 39.3 percent of all
violent-crime arrests, including 56.3 percent of all robbery and 34.5 percent of all aggravated-
assault arrests, and 29.4 percent of all property-crime arrests.
The advocates acknowledge such crime data only indirectly: by charging bias on the part of the
system’s decision makers. As Obama suggested in the Martin Luther King debate, police,
prosecutors, and judges treat blacks and whites differently “for the same crime.”
The media love to target the federal crack penalties because crack defendants are likely to be
black. In 2006, 81 percent of federal crack defendants were black, while only 27 percent of
federal powder-cocaine defendants were. Since federal crack rules are more severe than those for
powder, and crack offenders are disproportionately black, those rules must explain why so many
blacks are in prison, the conventional wisdom holds.
The press has covered this development voraciously, serving up a massive dose of crack
revisionism aimed at proving the racist origins of the war on crack. Crack was never a big deal,
the revisionist story line goes. But when Boston Celtics draft pick Len Bias died of a crack
overdose in 1986, the media went into overdrive covering the crack phenomenon. “Images—or
perhaps anecdotes—about the evils of crack, and the street crime it was presumed to stoke”
circulated, as the New York Times archly put it in a December 2007 article. A “moral panic”
(Michael Tonry’s term) ensued about an imaginary threat from a powerless minority group.
Whites feared that addicted blacks would invade their neighborhoods. Sensational stories about
“crack babies” surfaced. All this hysteria resulted in the unnecessary federal crack penalties.
Those who tar the criminal-justice system as racist often make a broader claim: incarceration
doesn’t even lower crime, making the nation’s skyrocketing prison rolls a particularly senseless
injustice.
Incarceration foes are right about one thing: the.
Two centuries ago, Pennsylvania became the center of prison reform due to Quaker influences which abolished harsh punishments established by English rule. However, conservative factions reintroduced cruel penalties like public hangings. Philadelphia prisons in the late 1700s were overcrowded and unsanitary, housing both men and women together, and jailers profited by charging inmates inflated prices. A Quaker formed an organization to provide food to starving prisoners, but it disbanded with the British occupation. A new Walnut Street jail had little improvement, with inmates trading clothes and suffering in the cold. By the end of the 20th century, the U.S. had over two million incarcerated, far surpassing other nations.
Dr. William Petit was the sole survivor of a gruesome crime in 2007 where his wife Jennifer and two daughters were beaten, tormented and killed in their Connecticut home. Steven Hayes was convicted of 16 charges including the sexual assault and murder of Petit's family. Another suspect, Joshua Komisarjevsky, faces trial next year and also could receive the death penalty if convicted. Petit expressed relief about the guilty verdict but said it would not bring his family back.

black. In 2006, 81 percent of federal crack defendants were black, while only 27 percent of
federal powder-cocaine defendants were. Since federal crack rules are more severe than those for
powder, and crack offenders are disproportionately black, those rules must explain why so many
blacks are in prison, the conventional wisdom holds.
The press has covered this development voraciously, serving up a massive dose of crack
revisionism aimed at proving the racist origins of the war on crack. Crack was never a big deal,
the revisionist story line goes. But when Boston Celtics draft pick Len Bias died of a crack
overdose in 1986, the media went into overdrive covering the crack phenomenon. “Images—or
perhaps anecdotes—about the evils of crack, and the street crime it was presumed to stoke”
circulated, as the New York Times archly put it in a December 2007 article. A “moral panic”
(Michael Tonry’s term) ensued about an imaginary threat from a powerless minority group.
Whites feared that addicted blacks would invade their neighborhoods. Sensational stories about
“crack babies” surfaced. All this hysteria resulted in the unnecessary federal crack penalties.
Those who tar the criminal-justice system as racist often make a broader claim: incarceration
doesn’t even lower crime, making the nation’s skyrocketing prison rolls a particularly senseless
injustice.
Incarceration foes are right about one thing: the.
Two centuries ago, Pennsylvania became the center of prison reform due to Quaker influences which abolished harsh punishments established by English rule. However, conservative factions reintroduced cruel penalties like public hangings. Philadelphia prisons in the late 1700s were overcrowded and unsanitary, housing both men and women together, and jailers profited by charging inmates inflated prices. A Quaker formed an organization to provide food to starving prisoners, but it disbanded with the British occupation. A new Walnut Street jail had little improvement, with inmates trading clothes and suffering in the cold. By the end of the 20th century, the U.S. had over two million incarcerated, far surpassing other nations.
Dr. William Petit was the sole survivor of a gruesome crime in 2007 where his wife Jennifer and two daughters were beaten, tormented and killed in their Connecticut home. Steven Hayes was convicted of 16 charges including the sexual assault and murder of Petit's family. Another suspect, Joshua Komisarjevsky, faces trial next year and also could receive the death penalty if convicted. Petit expressed relief about the guilty verdict but said it would not bring his family back.
A presentation on the built environment and social determinants of health as seen during a year-long reporting project in 2011 by California Endowment fellow Beatrice Motamedi with students at Castlemont High School in East Oakland. This presentation was given at the JEA Northern California student journalism conference in 2011.
The document discusses the relationship between white supremacy and the U.S. correctional system. It describes how overcrowding in prisons has led to the growth of white supremacist gangs that recruit inmates for protection. These gangs promote racist ideologies both in prison and after release. The document also examines how racism is institutionalized in prisons through discriminatory treatment of black inmates and hiring of racist guards. It argues that the isolated prison environment and failure to rehabilitate prisoners perpetuates gang activity and the spread of white supremacist beliefs.

Hundreds of Convicted Killers Slipping Through Texas Loophole
1. Hundreds of Convicted Killers Slipping Through Texas
Loophole
A loophole in Texas law is opening the cell doors for hundreds of convicted killers and other violent
criminals and setting dates for their early release.
All inmates convicted between the year
http://pahma.berkeley.edu/delphi/modules/auth/profile.php?uid=143898 1977 and 1987 will be
released from prison after the number of days they have spent in jail and the number of days they
have spent in good conduct equals one-third of their initial sentence, according to the Texas parole
guide.
In 1987 the law was amended to exclude violent criminals. But the amendment only applies to
violent criminals convicted after 1987.
Among those up for release is Genene Jones, 63, a Texas nurse found guilty in 1984 of injecting 15-
month-old Chelsea McClellan with a fatal dose of a muscle relaxant. She was sentenced to 99 years.
In addition, she got 60 concurrent years for an attack on another child who survived. Nevertheless,
she is scheduled to be released on Feb. 24, 2018, after serving 35 years, according to state records.
Nurse http://www.law.asu.edu/ suspected of killing up to 46 kids set to leave prison
David Port, 46, was found guilty in 1985 of abducting and shooting postal worker Deborah Sue
Schatz, 23, in the head. He was sentenced to 75 years in prison, but will be released on June 5,
2014, according to state records.
"I don't think he should be walking free," Mary Jordan, 55, of Katy, Texas, and Schatz's sister, told
ABC News.
"My sister got death. My father died because he couldn't handle it. Why should he be able to walk
free? It's not right, it's not fair," she said.
Families like the Schatzs worry that if released, the convicted killers will continue to pose a threat.
"If he gets out, he can go back to how he was before. It's all he knows. They're not changing them in
prison. Who else is going to have to die?" Jordan asked.
Mother fights to keep daughter's murderer in jail
Over 1,000 individuals convicted of a crime and imprisoned in Texas between 1977 and 1987 are
eligible for mandatory release. Many of these individuals were convicted of nonviolent crimes. It is
estimated, however, that hundreds of these inmates were convicted of murder, according to Texas
Department of Criminal Justice statistics obtained by ABC News.
The office of Gov. Rick Perry said there is nothing they can do about the release of violent convicts.
"Offender release is governed by law in effect when the offense was committed and cannot
2. constitutionally be changed retroactively," Rich Parsons, deputy director of communications for the
governor's office, said in a statement to ABC News.
"The governor, like all Texans, expects the Parole Division of TDCJ to closely supervise offenders
according to their release rules to ensure public protection," Parsons said.
Andy Kahan, a victim's advocate working out of the mayor's office in Houston, Texas, works with the
families of murder victims to keep their loved ones' killers in prison.
"Most families I have reached out to were unaware that these people would be released from
prison," he said.
Kahan is working on the behalf of victims' families like the McClellans and Schatzs to keep the
killers of their loved ones in prison.
"In most of these cases there is little or any recourse," Kahan said.
In April 2013, Vincent Earl Cox, was released from prison after he was convicted of murdering an 8-
year-old boy in 1980. He was supposed to serve a 99 year sentence.
But in some cases Kahan has had success.
Coral Eugene Watts, a convicted serial killer serving a 60 year sentence, was scheduled for
mandatory release in 2006. Watts was ultimately not released after it was discovered he had
murdered an additional victim. Watts was found guilty of the murder and re-sentenced to life in
prison.
