Lorex Pharmaceuticals
The Case: Lorex Pharmaceuticals has come up with a new product, Litanol. This medicine seems to have a high potential which is developed for the treatment of high blood pressure. Company has come up with a manufacturing line and production is supposed to be begin next Monday. Following points are considered while analyzing the case: 1. The marketing team has decided to sell Litanol in sealed 10-ounce bottles, packaged in cases of 12 bottles each with a wholesale price of $186 per case. 2.The production capacity is 1000 bottles per case but due to certain unavoidable reasons, Lorex is producing Litanol at an average of 500 cases over an eight-hour shift. 3. The entire line was operated by two employees who are paid $12. 80 per hour. 4. Other charges include $89. 50 per hour for overhead and filling $1. 10 per bottle. 5. Bottles filled with less than 10 ounce are rejected and sold for 80% of normal price. 6. Attendants for secondary packaging are paid $8. 50 per hour. 7. A sample of fi lling process and test results is given in exhibit 2, with target of 10. fluid ounces. 8. The cost details from exhibit 1 are used to guesstimate for cost of other predicted samples (10. 3, 10. 4, 10. 5 and 10. 6 ounce samples). The issue: Recently, there was a case of clogging of storage area for underfilled bottles due to unexpected under filling. This was apparently because of one standard deviation allowed above required amount of 10 ounce. Alternatives: 1. We can revise the filling target from 10. 2 to reduce the no of under filled bottles without compromising on the gross margins. Various filling targets have been worked out on the next page 2.We can speculate the no of under filled bottles by studying the probability of occurrence of under filling for a period. Accordingly the storage area evacuation may be scheduled to avoid clogging Analysis: Lets assume the standard deviation to be same (0. 16) for all filling targets. This is justified because Std Dev measures the inaccur acy level of the filling machine which will remain same regardless of the filling targets. Below is the analysis and calculation showing different gross margins for different filling targets.

The Return: Nightfall Chapter 26
Ley lines. Stefan had spoken of them, and with the influence of the spirit world still on her, she had seen them without trying. Now, still lying on her side, channeling what remained of that Power to her eyes, she looked at the earth. And that was what made her mind go gray in terror. As far as she could see there were lines converging here from all directions. Thick lines that glowed with a cold phosphorescence, medium-sized lines that had the dull shine of bad mushrooms in a cellar, and tiny lines that looked like perfectly straight cracks of the outer surface layer of the world. They were like veins and arteries and nerves just under the skin of the clearing-beast. No wonder it seemed alive. She was lying on a massive convergence of ley lines. And if the cemetery was worse than this ââ¬â she couldn't imagine what it might look like. If Damon had somehow found a way to tap into that Powerâ⬠¦no wonder he seemed different, arrogant, undefeatable. Ever since he had released her to drink Matt's blood, she had kept shaking her head, trying to shake off the humiliation with it. But now finally she stopped as she tried to calculate a way to make use of this Power. There had to be a way to do it. The grayness wouldn't clear from her vision. Finally Elena realized that it was not because she was faint, but because it was getting dark ââ¬â twilight outside the clearing, true darkness coming into it. She tried again to lift herself up, and this time she succeeded. Almost immediately a hand was extended to her and, automatically, she took it, letting it draw her to her feet. She faced ââ¬â whoever it was, Damon or whatever was using his features or his body. Despite the almost-darkness, he still wore those wraparound sunglasses. She could make nothing out of the rest of his face. ââ¬Å"Now,â⬠the thing in the sunglasses said. ââ¬Å"You're going to come with me.â⬠It was nearing full dark, and they were in the clearing that was a beast. This place ââ¬â it was unwholesome. She was afraid of the clearing as she had never been afraid of a person or creature. It resounded with malevolence, and she couldn't shut her ears to it. She had to keep thinking, and keep thinking straight, she thought. She was terribly frightened for Matt; frightened that Damon had taken too much blood or had played too hard with his toy; breaking it. And she was afraid of this Damon thing. She was also worried about the influence this place might have had on the real Damon. The woods around them shouldn't have any effect on vampires, except to hurt them. Was the possible-Damon inside the possessor hurt? If he could understand anything of what was happening, could he distinguish that hurt from his hurt and anger at Stefan? She didn't know. She did know that there had been a terrible look in his eyes when Stefan had told him to get out of the boardinghouse. And she did know that there were creatures in the forest, malach, that could influence a person's mind. She was afraid, deeply afraid, that the malach were using Damon now, blackening his darkest desires and twisting him into something horrible, something he had never been even at his worst. But how could she be sure? How could she know whether or not there was something else behind the malach, something that controlledthem ? Her soul was telling her that this might be the case, that Damon might be completely unconscious of what his body was doing, but that might just be wishful thinking. Certainly all she could sense around her were small, evil creatures. She could feel them encircling the clearing, strange insect-like beings like the one that had attacked Matt. They were in a furor of excitement, whipping their tentacles around to make a noise almost like a buzzing helicopter. Were they influencing Damon now? Certainly, he had never before hurt any of the other humans she knew the way he had today. She had to get all three of them out of this place. It was diseased, contaminated. Once again she felt a wave of longing for Stefan, who might know what to do in this situation. She turned, slowly, to look at Damon. ââ¬Å"May I call someone to come and help Matt? I'm afraid to leave him here; I'm afraidthey'll get him.â⬠Just as well to let him know that she knewthey were hiding in the liverwort and the rhododendron and mountain holly bushes all around. Damon hesitated; he seemed to consider it. Then he shook his head. ââ¬Å"We wouldn't want to give them too many clues to where you are,â⬠he said cheerily. ââ¬Å"It'll be an interesting experiment to see if the malach do get him ââ¬â and how they do it.â⬠ââ¬Å"It wouldn't be an interesting experiment forme .â⬠Elena's voice was flat. ââ¬Å"Matt is my friend.â⬠ââ¬Å"Nevertheless, we'll leave him here for now. I don't trust you ââ¬â even to giveme a message to Meredith or Bonnie ââ¬â to send on my phone.â⬠Elena didn't say anything. As a matter of fact, he was right not to trust her, as she and Meredith and Bonnie had worked out an elaborate code of harmless-sounding phrases as soon as they knew that Damon was after Elena. A lifetime ago for her ââ¬â literally ââ¬â but she could still remember them. Silently, she simply followed Damon to the Ferrari. She was responsible for Matt. ââ¬Å"You're not putting up much of an argument this time, and I wonder what you're plotting.â⬠ââ¬Å"I'm plotting that we might as well get on with it. If you'll tell me what à ¡Ã ®it' is,â⬠she said, more bravely than she felt. ââ¬Å"Well, now what à ¡Ã ®it' is, is up to you.â⬠Damon gave Matt a kick in the ribs in passing. He was now pacing in a circle around the clearing, which seemed smaller than ever, a circle which didn't include her. She took a few paces toward him ââ¬â and slipped. She didn't know how it happened. Maybe the giant animal breathed. Maybe it was just the slick pine needles under her boots. But one moment she was heading for Matt and the next her feet had gone out from under her and she was heading for the ground with nothing to grab onto. And then, smoothly and unhurriedly, she was in Damon's arms. With centuries of Virginian etiquette behind her she automatically said, ââ¬Å"Thank you.â⬠ââ¬Å"My pleasure.â⬠Yes, she thought. That's all it means. It ishis pleasure, and that's all that matters. That was when she noticed that they were headed for her Jaguar. ââ¬Å"Oh, no, we don't,â⬠she said. ââ¬Å"Oh, yes, we will ââ¬â if I please,â⬠he said. ââ¬Å"Unless you want to see your friend Matt suffer like that again. At some point his heartwill give out.â⬠ââ¬Å"Damon.â⬠She pushed her way out of his arms, standing on her own feet. ââ¬Å"I don't understand. This isn't like you. Take what you want and go.â⬠He just kept looking at her. ââ¬Å"I was doing just that.â⬠ââ¬Å"You don't have toâ⬠ââ¬â for the life of her, she couldn't keep a tremor out of her voice ââ¬â ââ¬Å"take me anywhere special to take my blood. And Matt won't know. He's out.â⬠For a long moment there was silence in the clearing. Utter silence. The night birds and the crickets stopped making their music. Suddenly Elena felt as if she were on some kind of thrill ride that plummeted down, leaving her stomach and organs still at the top. Then Damon put it in words. ââ¬Å"I wantyou . Exclusively.â⬠Elena braced herself, trying to keep a clear head despite the fog that seemed to be invading it. ââ¬Å"You know that that's not possible.â⬠ââ¬Å"I know that it was possible for Stefan. When you were with him, you didn't think about anything but him. You couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't feel anything but him.â⬠Elena's gooseflesh now covered her whole body. Speaking carefully around the obstruction in her throat, she said, ââ¬Å"Damon, did you do something to Stefan?â⬠ââ¬Å"Now, why would I want to do something like that?â⬠Very low, Elena said, ââ¬Å"You and I both know why.â⬠ââ¬Å"Do you mean,â⬠Damon started out speaking casually, but his voice grew more intense as he gripped her shoulders, ââ¬Å"so that you would see nothing butme , hear nothing butme , think of nothing butme ?â⬠Still quietly, still controlling her terror, Elena said, ââ¬Å"Take off the sunglasses, Damon.â⬠Damon glanced upwards and around as if to reassure himself that no last ray of sunset could pierce the green-gray world that surrounded them. Then with one hand, he stripped off the sunglasses. Elena found herself looking into eyes that were so black there seemed to be no difference between iris and pupil. Sheâ⬠¦turned a switch in her brain, did something so that all her senses were tuned onto Damon's face, his expression, the Power circulating through him. His eyes were still as black as the depths of an unexplored cave. No red. But then, he'd had time, this time to get ready for her. I believe what I saw before, Elena thought. With myown eyes. ââ¬Å"Damon, I'll do anything, anything you want. But you have to tell me.Did you do something to Stefan?â⬠ââ¬Å"Stefan was still high onyour blood when he left you,â⬠he reminded her, and before she could speak to deny this ââ¬â ââ¬Å"and, to answer your question precisely, I don't know where he is. On that, you have my word. But in any case, it's true, what you were thinking earlier,â⬠he added, as Elena tried to step away, to get out of the grip he had on her upper arms. ââ¬Å"I'mthe only one, Elena. The only one you haven't conquered. The only one you can't manipulate. Intriguing, isn't it?â⬠Suddenly, in spite of her fear, she was furious. ââ¬Å"Then why hurt Matt? He's just a friend. What's he got to do with it?â⬠ââ¬Å"Just a friend.â⬠And Damon began to laugh the way he had before, eerily. ââ¬Å"Well, I knowhe didn't have anything to do with Stefan leaving,â⬠Elena snapped. Damon turned on her, but by then the clearing was so dim that she couldn't read his expression at all. ââ¬Å"And who saidI did? But that doesn't mean I'm not going to make use of the opportunity.â⬠He picked Matt up easily and held up something that shone silver from his other hand. Her keys. From her jeans pocket. Taken, no doubt, when she was lying unconscious on the ground. She could tell nothing from his voice, either, except that it was bitter and grim ââ¬â all usual if he were talking about Stefan. ââ¬Å"With your blood in him, I couldn't have killed my brother if I had tried, the last time I saw him,â⬠he added. ââ¬Å"Didyou try?â⬠ââ¬Å"As a matter of fact, no. You have my word on that as well.â⬠ââ¬Å"And you don't know where he is?â⬠ââ¬Å"No.â⬠He hefted Matt. ââ¬Å"What do you think you're doing? ââ¬Å"Taking him with us. He's hostage for your good behavior.â⬠ââ¬Å"Oh, no,â⬠Elena said flatly, pacing. ââ¬Å"This is between you and me. You've hurt Matt enough.â⬠She blinked and once again almost screamed to find Damon much too close, much too fast. ââ¬Å"I'll do whatever you want.Whatever you want. But not here out in the open and not with Matt around.â⬠Come on, Elena, she was thinking. Where's that vampy behavior when you want it? You used to be able to vamp any guy; now, just because he's a vampire, you can't do it? ââ¬Å"Take me somewhere,â⬠she said softly, intertwining her arm with his free one, ââ¬Å"but in the Ferrari. I don't want to go in my car. Take me in the Ferrari.â⬠Damon paced back to the trunk of the Ferrari, unlocked it, and looked inside. Then he looked at Matt. It was clear that the tall, well-built boy wasn't going to fit in to the trunkâ⬠¦at least, not with all his limbs attached. ââ¬Å"Don't you eventhink about it,â⬠Elena said. ââ¬Å"Just put him in the Jaguar with the keys and he'll be safe enough ââ¬â lock him in.â⬠Elena fervently prayed that what she was saying was true. For a moment Damon said nothing, then he looked up with a smile so brilliant she could see it in the dusk. ââ¬Å"All right,â⬠he said. He dumped Matt on the ground again. ââ¬Å"But if you try to run while I move the cars, I runhim over.â⬠Damon, Damon, will you never understand? Humans don'tdo that to their friends, Elena thought as he brought the Ferrari out so he could bring the Jaguar in, so he could dump Matt in it. ââ¬Å"All right,â⬠she said in a small voice. She was afraid to look at Damon. ââ¬Å"Now ââ¬â what do you want?â⬠Damon inclined from the waist in a very graceful bow, indicating the Ferrari. She wondered what would happen once she got in. If he were any normal attacker ââ¬â if there wasn't Matt to think about ââ¬â if she didn't fear the forest even more than she feared himâ⬠¦ She hesitated and then got into Damon's car. Inside, she pulled her camisole out of her jeans to conceal the fact that she wasn't wearing a seat belt. She doubted Damon ever wore a seat belt or locked his doors or anything like that. Precautions weren't his thing. And now she prayed that he had other matters on his mind. ââ¬Å"Seriously, Damon, where are we going?â⬠she said as he got into the Ferrari. ââ¬Å"First, how about one for the road?â⬠Damon suggested, his voice fake-jocular. Elena had expected something like this. She sat passively as Damon took her chin in fingers that trembled slightly, and tilted it up. She shut her eyes as she felt the double-snakebite pinch of razor-sharp fangs piercing her skin. She kept her eyes shut as her attacker fastened his mouth on the bleeding flesh and began to drink deeply. Damon's idea of ââ¬Å"one for the roadâ⬠was just what she would have expected: enough to put both of them in danger. But it wasn't until she actually began to feel as if she would pass out any minute that she shoved at his shoulder. He held on for a few more very painful seconds just to show who was Boss here. Then he let go of her, licking his lips avidly, his eyes actually gleaming at herthrough the Ray-Bans. ââ¬Å"Exquisite,â⬠he said. ââ¬Å"Unbelievable. Why you're ââ¬â ââ¬Å" Yeah, tell me I'm a bottle of single malt scotch, she thought. That's the way to my heart. ââ¬Å"Can we go now?â⬠she asked pointedly. And then, as she suddenly remembered Damon's driving habits, she added deliberately, ââ¬Å"Be careful; this road twists and turns a lot.â⬠It had the effect she had hoped for. Damon hit the accelerator and they shot out of the clearing at high speed. Then they were taking the sharp turns of the Old Wood faster than Elena had ever driven through here; faster than anyone had dared go with her as a passenger before. But still, they wereher roads. From childhood on she had played here. There was only one family who lived right on the perimeter of the Old Wood, but their driveway was on the right side of the road ââ¬â her side ââ¬â and she got herself ready for it. He would take the sudden curve to the left just before the second curve that was the Dunstans' driveway ââ¬â and on the second curve she would jump. There was no sidewalk edging Old Wood Road, of course, but at that point there was a heavy growth of rhododendron and other bushes. All she could do was pray. Pray that she didn't snap her neck on impact. Pray that she didn't break an arm or leg before she limped through the few yards of woods to the driveway. Pray that the Dunstans were home when she pounded on their door and pray that they listened when she told them not to let the vampire in behind her. She saw the curve. She didn't know why the Damon-thing couldn't read her mind, but apparently he couldn't. He wasn't speaking and his only precaution against her trying to get out seemed to be speed. She was going to get hurt, she knew that. But the worst part of any hurt was fear, and she wasn't afraid. As he rounded the curve, she pulled the handle and pushed open the door as hard as she could with her hands while she kicked it as hard as she could with her feet. The door swung open, quickly being caught by centrifugal force, as were Elena's legs. As was Elena. Her kick alone took her halfway out of the car. Damon grabbed for her and got only a handful of hair. For a moment she thought he would keep her in, even without keeping hold of her. She tumbled over and over in the air, floating, remaining about two feet off the ground, reaching out to grab fronds, branches of bushes, anything she could use to slow her velocity. And in this place where magic and physics met; she was able to do it, to slow while still floating on Damon's power, although it took her much farther from the Dunstans' house than she wanted. Then she did hit the ground, bounced, and did her best to twist in the air, to take the impact on her buttock or the back of a shoulder, but something went wrong and her left heel hit first ââ¬â God! ââ¬â and tangled, swinging her around completely, slamming her knee into concrete ââ¬â God, God! ââ¬â flipping her in the air and bringing her down on her right arm so hard it seemed to be trying to drive it into her shoulder. She had the wind knocked out of her by the first blow and was forced to hiss air in by the second and third. Despite the flipping, flying universe, there was one sign she couldn't miss ââ¬â an unusual spruce growing into the road that she had noticed ten feet behind her when she'd exploded out of the car. Tears were pouring uncontrollably down her cheeks as she pulled at tendrils of bush that had entangled her ankle ââ¬â and a good thing, too. A few tears might have blurred her vision, made her afraid ââ¬â as she had been with the last two explosions of pain ââ¬â that she might pass out. But she was out on the road, her eyes were washed clear, she could see the spruce and the sunset both directly ahead, and she was thoroughly conscious. And that meant that if she headed for the sunset but at a forty-five-degree angle to her right, she couldn't miss the Dunstans'; driveway, house, barn, cornfield were all there to guide her after perhaps twenty-five steps in the woods. She had barely stopped rolling when she was pulling at the bush that had thwarted her and getting to her feet just as she pulled the last entangling stems from her hair. The calculation about the Dunstans' house happened instantaneously in her head, even as she turned and saw the crushed swath she'd cut through the greenery and the blood on the road. At first she looked at her skinned hands in bewilderment; they couldn't have left such a gory trail. And they hadn't. One knee had been skinned ââ¬â flayed, really ââ¬â right through her jeans ââ¬â and one seriously messed up leg, less bloody but causing her sheets of pain like white lighting even while she was not trying to move it. Two arms with quite a lot of skin removed. No time to find out how much or to figure out what she'd done to her shoulder. Ascreeeeeeech of brakes ahead. Lord, he's slow. No, I'm fast, hyped up by pain and terror. Use it! She ordered her legs to sprint into the forest. Her right leg obeyed, but when she swiveled her left and it hit the ground fireworks went off behind her eyes. She was in a state of hyper-alertness; she saw the stick even as she was falling. She rolled over once or twice, which caused dull red flares of pain to go off in her head, and then she was able to grab it. It might have been specially designed for a crutch, around underarm height and blunt on one end but sharp on the other. She tucked it under her left arm and somehow willed herself up from her place in the mud: boosting off with her right leg and catching herself on the crutch so that she scarcely had to touch her left foot to the ground. She'd got turned around in the fall and had to twist to right herself again ââ¬â but there she saw it, the last remains of sunset and the road behind her. Head forty-five-degrees right from that glow, she thought. Thank God, it was her right arm that was messed up; this way she could support herself with her left shoulder on the crutch. Still without a moment's hesitation, without giving Damon an extra millisecond to follow her, she plunged in her chosen direction into the forest. Into the Old Wood.

A Brief Note On The Poverty Of The United States - 1482 Words
PROPOSAL ESSAY 1 Proposal Essay TASK 3 Topic: Causes of the chronic homelessness in the US. Laura Wright Western Governors University WGU Student ID #000478444 PROPOSAL ESSAY 2 The United States has a homeless population of more than a half million people. The homeless assistance programs are overloaded, leaving nearly one third of that half million unsheltered, sleeping outside on the streets, or in makeshift tent cities. Reasons for homelessness include natural disasters, divorce, loss of employment, physical mental disabilities, substance addiction, gambling addiction, and domestic violence. Those who are chronically homeless, meaning those who are either long-term homeless or have repeated bouts with homelessness, consist of about 15% of the homeless population (The State of Homelessness in America 2015, 2015). Once a person becomes homeless, the obstacles that can cause them to be caught in the trap of chronic homelessness include: the inability to obtain proper identification, desperation that leads to substance addiction prostitution, and representative payees misuse of disability benefits. Effective ways to address the problem of chronic homelessn ess are to amend identification policies to allow homeless to obtain food and shelter, expand the amount of shelter beds for single women, and to hold representative payees of disability payments responsible for those under their care.

The Gospel Of The Bible - 2155 Words
The Gospel according to Luke is the third of the four Gospels found in the New Testament. This Gospel is the longest, and was originally joined to the Acts, making a two volume book. Irenaeus, Tertullian and Jerome, are examples of individual witnesses who named the author of the third Gospel, St. Luke; a physician from Antioch, and fellow companion of St. Paul. It is also evident in the preface, when Luke uses the first pronoun saying, ââ¬Å"I too decided to write an orderly accountâ⬠(1:1-4). Most scholars, such as those who wrote the Navarre Bible and ââ¬Å"Inside the Bible,â⬠believe the Gospel was written in the early 60s A.D. The reason for this is; Acts of the Apostles was written after Luke, and ends with a description of St Paul beforeâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦This Gospel focuses on the historical framework of certain events and views happenings in a new angle. For example, Luke presents Christââ¬â¢s life on earth as a journey towards Jerusalem; so on the day of Jesusââ¬â¢ ascension, the earthly symbol becomes the Holy City. The structure of the Gospel of Luke begins with the prologue, depicting the purpose of the intended account. It follows with the infancy narratives; the Saviourââ¬â¢s birth and youth; His baptism and temptation; His message and mission; the journey to Jerusalem; and His death and resurrection. This Gospel places great emphasis on Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah promised to the Jews in the Old Testament. It also addresses the theme of universal salvation. Christââ¬â¢s redemption is intended for everyone, and He has come to gather all people to himself. The trinity is evident from the beginning, with God and the Holy Spirit enveloping them self in Mary; while the journey of the Son of God, is the basis of the Gospel. Mary, the mother of Jesus, has a significant role in this Gospel, through accepting Godââ¬â¢s call to conceive Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Without this approval, the events in the New Testament would not exist. This Gospel uses a variety of literary devices consisting of: narratives, foreshadowing, parables, themes and miracle stories. Using these enhances the language used to express the meaning and significance of Jesusââ¬â¢ life. Chapter one, verses

Youth Violence the Anomie Theory an Example of the Topic Government and Law Essays by
Youth Violence the Anomie Theory Criminal behavior has long baffled psychologists and society in general. While extensive studies have been made in an attempt to explain criminal acts, none thus far has been found to satisfactorily explain all the complex processes and the interplay of factors that pushes an individual over the edge to finally commit to the act of doing something illegal or harmful to someone else. Criminal behavior is complex enough, but crime as perpetrated by the youth is even more complicated and disturbing. As such, the need to come up with theories and models for juvenile crime is very important. Need essay sample on "Youth Violence & the Anomie Theory" topic? We will write a custom essay sample specifically for you Proceed Among these theories, the most widely-accepted is the one forwarded by constitutive criminology. It is a perspective that analyzes crime as a product of the complex interplay between man and the social structures that he interacts with. (Sanders & Ferrell, 1995, 146) This constitutive theory rejects the argument of traditional modernist criminology that crime and offenders can be separated entirely from the social processes that the criminal functions in and interacts with. This theory believes that crime is the end product of the complex interactions that take place among the individual with social structures and society's control institutions. (Sanders & Ferrell, 1995, 146) According to this theory, crime therefore cannot be analyzed and corrected in isolation from society. As such, the society where the person is a part of as well and the crime committed cannot be divorced from each other.

This means that any one person's behavior is affected or influenced by the behavior of others. The need to be accepted and conform to society is a cornerstone of social learning theory. Social learning theory has found great relevance in the understanding of offensive behaviors (Bandura, 1977) and psychological disorders. Of course because social learning theory is applied in juvenile deviant behavior, it also stands to reason that it can be used for reforming offenders. Bandura's social learning theory has been further refined by Merton's Anomie theory. This theory goes on to explain how the individual and society interact to provoke criminal behavior within the person involved. The deprivations that an individual experiences in a certain area create a social trend that encourages criminal activities. (Hopkins and Burke, 2005, 99) The gap that exists between material goals and the means to acquire it creates pressure or strain which eventually leads to criminal behavior. Merton's social structure and anomie theory explains why there are differences in criminal activities across various social groups. Merton maintains that the opportunities in society are not equally accessible to all and it further argues that social structures or stratification is the main reason why people commit criminal acts. Pressures within society may drive certain people against the wall and provoke them to commit a crime. Hopkins and Burke recognize that while Merton's Anomie Theory has given better insights not just on criminal behavior, but deviance and disorder as well. This theory's contribution to explaining the social phenomena of crime had been very helpful in the endeavor to explain and understand criminal behavior, especially in cases of juvenile delinquency. Bandura's social learning and Merton's Anomie Theory is very evident in gang violence. Young people who grew up in dysfunctional families often look for validation and comfort from somewhere else. (Decker 1996, 88) Whether they find it within a gang or friends, the fact still remains that these people are feeling the economic crunch. These young people, without any reason at all, will usually engage in gang violence in order to be accepted even if the criminal does not believe in the merits of his or her action. The pressure from peers to do what they are doing is tremendous because the person becomes a criminal because of the desire to be accepted. A good case in point whould be Jeffery Dahmer of the United States who has been found guilty of the murder of at least 17 men and boys in the course of 13 years, from the years 1978 to 1991. Dahmer's murders were particularly horrible, because his victims were not simply killed, but were also sodomized, tortured, dismembered, and eaten. Dahmer has always been a loner in youth, and engaged in cruel acts to animals at a very young age. Dahmer did not grow up in poverty, but he did grow up exposed to the constant fighting of his parents, who eventually divorced when Dahmer was 18 years old. Their commonality lies in the fact that the constant fighting and eventual divorce may correspond to the Removal of Positively Valued Stimuli in Dahmer's case. The constant fighting between two of the most important people in Dahmer's life was the strain that led him to the deviant life. Regardless of any theory, there is no denying the fact that any crime is a product of a highly complex process. However, while crime may indeed be just the end product of a series of interactions between the perpetrator and the world around him, the question still remains why some people who grow up in harsh conditions grow up to be normal people while others become social deviants. As the criminal makes the choice to commit a crime, how much of this is because of social and physical environment and how much of this is purely the individual's choice? Indeed, many theories have been forward to explain criminal and deviant behavior, and some criminals meet certain profiles while others simply defy explanation. For criminal psychologists the challenge is to create theories that will help prevent crimes rather than analyze the crime after the fact. Of course this is difficult if not entirely impossible because human beings by nature are mutable and unpredictable. As previously mentioned, learning does not take place in a vacuum; it does so within a social context. Young children are very impressionable, and they need constant supervision and explicit guidance from their parents. Children should be made to realize what behaviors are acceptable and those that are not. Delinquency is generally regarded as a product of rational thinking. As such, it is also believed that juvenile delinquency can be prevented through punitive action. These forms of punishment or retribution are believed to discourage would-be delinquents because they fear the punishment more than they want to commit delinquent acts. In the end it might be said that criminals are made. Some individual are more prone or vulnerable to committing deviant or criminal behavior, but their social relationships and interactions determine whether such tendencies are encouraged or suppressed all together. A person, as a social animal, is a complex product of his unique heritage and the environment in which he was given the opportunity to grow. As such, condemnation of the crime should never be taken as condemnation of the person. What we need is a shift in paradigm; rather than punish the criminal, we should provide an environment that will allow him to realize the consequences of his crime, repent of what has been done, and give life another shot. Every person deserves no less. References Bandura, A. (1977). Social Learning Theory. Prentice-Hall. Hopkins, R., and Burke. (2005). An Introduction to Criminological Theory. Willan Publishing.
