Branding Young People as 'Criminals'
2012-06-27
People love to classify and apply labels. It's a natural human tendency.
But when it comes to kids and the criminal justice system, how early is too early to label a child?
The New York Times Magazine recently grappled with this question. The article described a boy whose parents watched as their three-year-old began turning into a more violent and aggressive nine-year-old.
The nine-year-old was subsequently given the label "psychotic."
But critics worry that the boy and others like him could face a pre-determined life path, all because of a premature ...

A Lifetime Behind Bars: Is It a Fair Punishment for Juvenile Offenders?
2012-06-27
Making mistakes is a part of growing up. For most of us, the consequences of our youthful transgressions amount to little more than a scolding from parents, perhaps an apology or some community-minded labor, and a lesson well learned. Yet, for hundreds of inmates in America's penal system, mistakes made as juveniles define their entire adult lives.
According to Amnesty International and the Human Rights Watch, the United States is the only country in the world that regularly sentences juveniles to life in prison without the possibility of parole. True, the sentence is ...

2012-06-27
The experts at Consumer Reports found that cars often provide inadequate protection against injuries, especially whiplash, during rear-end crashes. Fortunately, there are several things drivers and passengers can do to make sure they are using their head restraints as effectively as possible.
Rear-end crashes occur when one vehicle is hit by another from behind. Injuries can arise from a rear-end crash at as little as 10 miles per hour. Victims of a rear-end crash are especially susceptible to neck injuries like whiplash because the torso is pushed violently forward ...
Law Aims to Stop Misuse of Antipsychotic Medications in Nursing Homes
2012-06-27
Across the country, nursing home residents are put on strong antipsychotic medications to treat such ailments as aggression and agitation. Often times, they are given these powerful medications for "off-label" uses without their consent or without the knowledge and consent of family members - sometimes leading to nursing home injuries. Some U.S. legislators would like to change that.
