Abstract
The paper discusses how environmental factors clearly impact how children will evolve and whether or not they will use violence to assert themselves. The paper also posits that in a day and age when more and more children appear to be exhibiting anti-social trends, it is vital to find out why this is so and what, if anything, can be done about it.

From the Paper
"In examining aggressive behavior in the young, social context accounts for a great deal. For one thing, environmental factors clearly impact how children will evolve and whether or not they will use violence to assert themselves. Likewise, in a day and age when more and more children appear to be exhibiting anti-social trends, it is vital to find out why this is so and what, if anything, can be done about it. With the above in mind, the following paper will look at two scholarly articles dealing with the role of parental aggression upon the anti-social..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the designations "Anti-Social Personality Disorder" (ASPD) and "Psychopathy" are mental conditions whose definitions, while classified under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM, currently DSM-IV), remain widely controversial within the field of psychology. This paper explores both conditions, their histories and current scholarly perspectives. The paper shows how while these conditions are significant in the study of criminal behaviour, and particularly with regard to assessing risk of recidivism, our lack of clear understanding of these conditions and their classifications remain as challenges to their critical assessment and possibilities of treatment.

Abstract
Recent studies reveal the significance of parenting in the cross-generational transmission of aggressive or problem behavior up to three continuous generations. Stable evidence has long recognized and documented the negative effects of aggressive or harsh and inconsistent parenting and identified the need for interventions that would foster better parenting skills. These findings provide the direct link between the incidence of child abuse and the emergence of problem behavior later in life. This paper shows that, while child abuse occurs in all social, ethnic, and income groups, it is most common among poor, under-educated, and dysfunctional families and committed mostly by parents themselves who are young, unmarried or separated, lonely, and coping with life's stresses. This paper inquires into and understands the details that link child abuse with the development of problem behavior and what approaches can be made in addressing this reality.

From the Paper
"Another study offered evidence of this intergenerational continuity (Conger 2003) wherein aggression in youth is often followed by aggressive parenting and that kind of parenting, in turn, appears to contribute to aggression in children. This particular study expounded on the utter significance of parenting in the intergenerational transmission of antisocial or problem behavior, as previous findings already documented, and how normative approval of aggression, aggressive fantasies and verbal aggression maintain aggressive behavior through time."

Abstract
A report based on a study conducted into the association between substance abuse behavior and antisocial behavior. The paper reviews the results from a sample of 72 adolescent males remanded to a residential treatment facility in Delaware. Conclusions drawn include that juvenile crime is prevalent in our society and that it is increasing and that substance abuse is a strong component in the commission of juvenile crime.

From the Paper
"While the reviewed literature indicates a connection between antisocial behavior and substance abuse that may be the result of personality, genetics, and demographic factors, it is important to evaluate the general quality of the existing studies in order to determine how much confidence to place in these findings. In this regard, there are some problems."

Abstract
This paper examines existing research to discuss antisocial behavior in females with co-morbid diagnoses of ADHD and conduct disorder. It explains the fundamentals of both conditions and the factors that led to the association of males with the disorders.

From the Paper
"Detention centers and residential treatment facilities are replete with male and female youth that have been in and out of the juvenile justice system for many years. Although the majority of the populations in these facilities are male, the number of female juvenile offenders is continually increasing. Many of the children in these facilities have a history of behavioral difficulties that may or may not have been diagnosed during much of their childhood."

Abstract
This paper discusses how in terms of ideologies, actions, and goals that exist, or should exist in order for the anti-globalization movement to develop into a successful global social movement, there is general agreement that there must be a greater emphasis on social and political issues such as gender equality, and economic issues such as product music and entertainment product copyright protection. The paper further discusses that these are only two of a multitude of important issues that need to be addressed, but they reflect the anti-globalization movement's fundamental goal of protecting the social, political, and economic rights of individuals, groups, and societies as globalization expands. For example, globalization has presented many challenges and opportunities for the transnational women's movement.

Abstract
This paper critically analyzes the anti-crime bill, a proposed bill that offers tougher sentencing for crime and which eliminates conditional sentences. The paper also looks at three key issues regarding the bill as it seeks to address crime in Canada. The paper also looks at two theoretical explanations as to why this bill may or may not address crime in Canada. In essence, this paper looks at what we know about crime and offers theoretical explanations to support the position of this writer that the anti-crime bill is not a good one insofar as it will hardly serve as a deterrent to those who are burdened by socio-economic problems or who have been propelled towards crime because of environmental problems such as social disorganization. The paper argues that the anti-crime bill is very ineffective because it emphasizes punishment without emphasizing the resolution of the factors that drive crime in the first place; it may also be said that the anti-crime bill will increase incarceration costs - which is problematic because there are already tens of thousands of individuals in Canadian prisons at the present time.

Abstract
The following assignment is for a third year sociology course. The topic discussed is collective social behaviour. The collective social behavior examined in this assignment is anti-war demonstrations. The writer uses social contagion theory and emergent norm theory in order to examine the nature of anti-war demonstrations.

From the Paper
"Collective behavior is a very broad area of study. For example, in Collective Behavior Erich Goode states, 'Rumors and legends, fads, and collective protest- these and other social phenomena make up the subject matter of the field of collective Behavior'. Collective behavior is the relatively spontaneous, unstructured, extra institutional behavior of a fairly large number of individuals. The fact that collective behavior is such a diverse area of study means that many activities can be used to examine it. For this paper, demonstrations against the war in Iraq or anti-war demonstrations as they are commonly called will be used to examine many of the theories about collective behavior."
