Behavior Disorders Increase Crime In our Contemporary World

Human behavior, both normal and abnormal, does not occur in a vacuum, nor does it occur without antecedents as well as consequences and intervening variables.

 Consequently, behavior disorders of whatever type, nature severity, chronicity, and duration must occur in the presence of human living environments (e.g. homes, schools, interpersonal milieu and Churches); and within these macro and micro-environments are precipitating, exacerbating, moderating, casual, and preventive factors of behavior disorders.

            Behavior disorders are usually seen on a continuum, for example, from mild behavior disorders to severe behavior which behavior disorders are mild and which ones are severe. 

There are, however, criteria for the easy recognition of mild and severe behavior disorders. 

These criteria have been documented and made available to mental health professionals by the World Health organization experts on the classification of diseases in their tenth edition of the International classification of diseases.

            Over the years, a variety of such causes have been invented to explain the puzzling behavior. 

These causes have ranged from inherent evil, through Malevolent Spirits, to inherited wickedness and unconscious conflicts. 

Each of these explanatory fictions, from that stand point, more recent explanations in terms of such constructs as personality and character traits have also done little to improve the approaches used to codify worthy behavior.

            “There is no absolute definition of behavior disorders. 

The definition is a function of the social milieu and thus relative to the cultural, historical, and social setting in which an individual displays a given behavior.” 

If the behavior conforms to the prevailing consensual norm, it is considered normal if it deviates from this norm, it is considered deviant. 

In a given society at any given time in its history, the members of that society have fairly explicit expectations of the appropriate behavior of a child. 

These expectations are a function of the child’s age, and they vary, depending on the sex of the child, position in birth order, and the social status of the family. 

Children whose behavior does not fit in to the expected order of the lives of those with whom they live, and whose behavior is thus find themselves exposed to sections imposed by their peers and elders. 

These sanctions will be brought to bear if the behavior is manifested under conditions where it is deemed because a given action may be appropriate in one set of circumstances but inappropriate in another. 

What is more a behavior may be deemed acceptable when it is performed at one level of frequency or magnitude but unacceptable at higher or lower levels. 

Thus, for example, a father may approve of his boy’s hitting another boy only if he has been hit first and only if the other boy is, at least, of his son’s age. 

Furthermore, occasional hitting of another on the part of a nine-year-old boy is usually tolerated; but when this recurs very often, it is deemed a problem, particularly if his family is of middle class status.

 “The description of a particular case of behavior disorder must be based on systematic observations by an attentive professional. 

These observations, usually paired with the results of psychological tests and with the individual’s psychological history, become the raw material for a psycho- diagnosis, an attempt to describe, assess, and systematically draw inferences about an individual’s psychological or behavior disorder.”

 For a society to have fewer criminals, behavior disorder must put to consideration through the help of Government; school teachers and parent.

What Distinguishes White Collar Crime and How might it be Deterred

            White-collar crime is crime committed by a person of responsibility and high social status in the course of his or her occupation. 

It differs from conventional crime in that the victims may be unaware of the crime and the offender may not view himself as a criminal. 

Deterrence of white-collar crime by regulatory agencies and internalized controls in organizations appears to be most promising.

How The Society Defines Crime

A criminal is someone who has become publicly associated with commission of crime. 

And also crime is behavior that violates criminal law. 

It can be defined through laws, through official police reports of crime, or through victimization surveys of persons who have been involved in crime but perhaps not involved with the police department. 

            The person that didn’t want to maintain peace, justice, law and order in the Country, and he is always against what is good and beneficially for the whole people.

Home Affairs Ministry to use Education as Weapon Against Crime

            The ministry of Home Affairs is gearing to use educating young people as a weapon in the fight against crime.

            According to a spate of advertisements inclusive of those appearing some discuss issues; the ministry announced that it has secured financing from the Inter-American Development Bank towards the cost of the Citizen Security Programme. 

According to the advertisements the Community Action Component of the programme caters for the provision of skills and vocational training to disadvantaged youths under the age of 25 who have dropped out of school or who may be illiterate. 

It is stated that the goal of the training is to lower the rate of youth violence and crime and to ultimately safe-guard neighborhoods.

            Research has long recognized that intervention at an early age and education are critical aspects in lowering the crime rate in any Country. 

This is because if a child has early education on how to do what will be beneficiary in his life, he will never be a kind of persons that will be bringing all those conflict in their Community and also the Country at large. 

That is why even in the book of Proverbs 29:17, the Bible is telling us that parent should discipline their children and they will give them peace; they will bring delight to their soul. 

This simply means if child is educated from his childhood, he will make his community happy and also his family entirely, not only so even God Himself.

The Purpose of Education

            Education has a vital role playing in a society; people live with knowledge of knowing what is good and also bad. 

In the issues of Education, their are responses of connote to it, this should be worldly responses or Christian responses, which parent uses to say:

1.      Typical Responses (Worldly responses of Parents:

a.       To prepare my child for university so that he can get a good job and have a happy successful life.

b.      So that my child may not have to go through the financial struggles that I have had to endure.

c.       So that my child will be comfortable in life.

d.      So that my child will be respected and admired by others.

e.       So that my child will be socially adjusted and able to fit in to society properly.

f.        So that my child will get ahead of the herd.

g.       So that my child could read some quotes from week articles.

2.      Christian Purpose of Education:

a.       To be conformed to the image of Christ. This means to love as Christ loved, to pray like Christ prayed, to forgive like Christ forgave, to live like Christ lived.

b.      True education involves the truth. It involves knowing and speaking the truth. The primary source of truth is the Bible. The Bible is the absolute truth. It is the only source for absolute truth (Ephesians 4:15,                John 8:32, 14:6).

c.       Ephesians 4:14 says. “That we henceforth be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine. “God wants his people to be stable to know what they believe it so strongly that they are unmoved by those teaching anything else.

d.      True education involves unity of the faith that is being in harmony with other Christians. No person can be a successful person living all by himself.

e.       True education involves knowing the Son of God. this knowledge can only be gained through personal contact (Ephesians 4:11-16).

Understanding Children

            Children are engaged in a continuous process of learning about themselves and their world, not necessary they must be told. 

As they mature, that world expands from their home and parents to siblings to poor and, eventually, to people and places they know about but may never actually see. 

In order to function successfully in society, children must learn to know themselves, to achieve self-identity. 

They must also learn about social interaction and recognize ways in which they are like as well as different from others. 

Those are psycho-social ways of thinking. At the same time, children are experiencing tremendous growth in cognitive abilities and in motor skills.

            Adults who are responsible for planning educational experiences will find that knowledge of child development is helpful in making literature a meaningful part of children’s lives. 

The need of children should be noted and solve by parent so that they will grow with good mind in order to build our Country; state, local Government, Villages, not only so, but even our tribe.

 we can see that “education is the most powerful weapon to change the world,” as said Nelson Mandela. 

Education is the foundation of the society and every sector (army, economy, religion, etc.) depends on it. 

Education allows respect of human rights, other people and also tolerance of other beliefs. 

Education can also be a weapon against totalitarianism or single thought. 

However, education can also lead to some scourges (violence, crimes, wars, dictatorship, etc.) when it is used in a bad way. 

That is why it is really important to promote education throughout the world in order, why not, to change the world in the more or less immediate future.
