Abstract
This paper is an in-depth examination of how the American government treated Japanese-Americans during World War II, after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The paper looks at the the relocation camps where the Japanese-Americans were sent, their treatment there and some of the long-term implications of this policy. Relations between Japan and the United States prior to Pearl Harbor are also examined in detail.
From the Paper
"Many people criticized the U.S. government for acting the way it did toward Japanese-Americans. Some of these critics have said that the United States acted as if martial law had been called out (Inada 187). Although of course the United States remained under civilian rule for the war, in some ways its actions were like those that are taken by martial law authorities. Martial law is put into effect when civil authority alone is deemed not to be strong or severe enough to keep life functioning in a basically normal and safe way. Usually governments that declare martial law allow normal civil rights to be taken away from people. This could mean, for example, that if martial law were called out in America then Americans would no longer be able to be tried by a jury if they were accused of a crime (Inada 149). This is almost what happened to Japanese-Americans."

Abstract
This paper explains that the three Japanese-Americans internment camps run by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, part of the Department of Justice, during World War II, were different from the ten relocation camps operated by the War Relocation Authority. The author relates that, although the vast majority of the internees were Japanese, the internees, who were called "enemy aliens", also included "potentially dangerous" Germans and a few Italians. The paper stresses that this interment represents race discrimination because the internees did not commit any crime other than belonging to an ethnic group, which was condemned at that time.
From the Paper
"These Americans blurred the identities of these rather different groups. The Japanese government, after going through a forced opening of their economy, modernized speedily. And unlike other countries which had let the Europeans and Americans conquest them and reap economic gains, Japan fought against these and develop militarily and industrially that it could not be touched. As evidences of its military power, we have the Sino-Japanese War, where China was conquered; we also have Japan humiliating Russia by destroying the Russian Baltic Fleet at Port Arthur."

From the Paper
"If the average North American were to rely solely on the media for accurate information about youth crime, we would have a continent of misinformed people. The media would like us to believe that there is an epidemic of youth crime despite extensive evidence to the contrary. This media attention, however inaccurate, has led the public to demand the justice system deal more harshly with young offenders. The result of this public outcry was the establishment of boot camps for juvenile offenders."

Abstract
This paper examines the advantages of correctional boot camps for troubled teens. The paper explores how the goals and benefits of such a program are being realized. The paper explains that the key to producing new behaviors is discipline and that using discipline in these boot camps produces positive physical and mental effects on the young offender, making him alert and offering him insights into the value of discipline. The paper then looks at how the correctional boot camp (in contrast to the military format) is aimed at correcting behavior through educational and occupational training. The paper points out that the camps that received the most positive public response were those that stressed education. In conclusion, this paper shows that correctional boot camps can produce impressive benefits for the young offender. Whether those benefits actually are realized, however, depends on the design of the boot camp and the types and quality of programs it includes.
From the Paper
"The correctional boot camp originated in 1983 in Georgia and the idea was quickly adopted by other states. Boot camps had become widely popular during the late 1980s. At that time, "state and local agencies operated 30 juvenile boot camps, and larger counties operated 18 boot camps in local jails" (Ashcroft et al. 2). The rationale for the camps was that the same environment which prepares the soldier "is highly conducive to assisting in the correction of first-time, nonviolent offenders, and preparing for their reintroduction into the community" (Zachariah 71). Virtually all correctional boot camps are directed to young offenders with felony charges."

Abstract
Boot camps have been brought to the arena of intermediate sanctions in recent times. A boot camp is regarded as a correctional system in consonance with military style, in which the inmates are imparted with a highly organized and tough routine for training, along with vocational, educational and curative programs. This paper examines how boot camps were started and why they are so important. It examines the pros and cons of boot camps and concludes that while there are limitations to this form of punishment, they have their advantages both for inmates and society at large.
From the Paper
"They enter the boot camps with very little confidence with their abilities or necessity to establish relationships with adults. The camp fosters positive relationships between the boys, and at the minimum, their primary counselor. They attain a sense of their ability to generate and maintain such relationships that contributes to a developed sense of self-worth and the motivation to engage in other positive activities. (Kilgore; Mede, 64)"

Abstract
This paper presents a brief look at the beginnings and evolution of the Nazi concentration camps. The writer looks at the original purpose of these camps and at their evolution into death camps. The writer also argues that the Jewish people were not the only victims and the prisoners were not just Jews. The writer points out that righteous people, trying to stand up for the rights of their fellow man and people of many different ethnicities and religions were all victims of the Nazi campaign. The writer concludes that World War II and the Jewish Holocaust changed humanity.
From the Paper
"World War II and the Jewish Holocaust is remembered as the darkest moment of humanity in recent history. It is generally believed that the Nazi party, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, was on a quest to rid the world of Jewish people. The pictures of starving men and women in German concentration camps are probably remembered most. Most people believe that those men and women are the poor Jews hated by all Germans. However, the persecution included people of many faiths and ethnicities. The truth of the matter is that the camps were not originally planned to be extermination plants, and actually for the first few years only a small percentage of prisoners were Jewish."

The paper further discusses the extermination camps that were built in 1942 with the purpose of murdering Jews.
From the Paper
" Many prisoners eventually became what were known as Muselmanner. The Muselmanner are persons destroyed, devastated, shattered wrecks strung between life and death. They are the victims of a stepwise annihilation of human beings. The mere external appearance of the Muselmanner bespoke profound dehumanization. In a final stage of emaciation, their skeletons were enveloped by flaccid, parchmentlike sheaths of skin, edema had formed on their feet and thighs, their posterior muscles had collapsed. Their skulls seemed elongated; their noses dripped constantly, mucus running down their chins. Their eyeballs had sunk deep into their sockets; their gaze was glazed. Their limbs moved slowly, hesitantly, almost mechanically. They exuded a penetrating, acrid odor; sweat, urine, liquid feces trickled down their legs. The rags that covered their freezing frames were full of lice; their skin was covered with scabies. Most suffered from diarrhea. They ate anything they could lay their hands on--moldy bread, cheese wriggling with worms, raw bits of turnip, garbage fished from the bins. "

Relocation Stress Syndrome, 2006.
A discussion of the lack of information available on Relocation Stress Syndrome.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper introduces the topic of Relocation Stress Syndrome and the inadequate treatment people who suffer from this ailment receive because of the poor information available regarding the problem. The paper points out that the most reliable study done on Relocation Stress Syndrome found that the problem is better handled and accepted when a psychological and sociological approach to treatment is taken, rather than a medical approach, which invariably means the use of medication.
From the Paper
"In reviewing archived issues from several Nursing Associations whether they are Psychological, Life Sciences or Sociological, dating back to 1995, it's remarkable that little coverage of Relocation Stress Syndrome exists. Moreover after reviewing 390 different references from the various associations one finds that the problems of Relocation Stress Syndrome are addressed more along the line of attempting to define this malady as a mental illness."

Abstract
This paper examines the merits of juvenile boot camps as a way to contain the problem of juvenile delinquency, showing what the camps do and and how effective they are.
From the Paper
"There are many ways to deal with juvenile delinquency: jail, rehabilitation, counseling our all common methods. I will examine juvenile boot camps as a new means of dealing with delinquency. Juvenile care facilities and juvenile detention centers have attempted to contain the problem of juvenile delinquency. These attempts have yielded mediocre results. Juvenile boot camps could turn out to be an effective way of combating the problem."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed discussion about the internment camps for the Japanese that were set up and implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The internment of Japanese-Americans was drastic and shocking, but it was supported by the majority of non-Japanese Americans. It was a decision that left a bruise on the psyche of the nation, however. The writer explores the history leading up to the decision and the decision itself. The paper includes photographs and a timeline of events leading up to and including the internment camps.
From the Paper
"He was considered one of the top military police officers in the nation at the time. He was largely responsible for making sure there was peace and order in the military areas of the nation, which included the military camps that the Japanese were being brought to. Gullion was considered an expert in legal affairs as well when it came to the actions of the military. He had serious concerns about the legal ability to lock up civilians who had done nothing wrong. He argued that the military could not get away with interfering in civilian lives."

Abstract
The paper discusses concentration camps built by Hitler's Germany in WWII for Jews as well as other prisoners. It provides a brief overview of the history of anti-semitism in Germany of the time, including Kristallnacht, and describes life as it was for prisoners in the camps.
From the Paper
"The living conditions in both camps could be classified as dismal at best. The poor living conditions caused contagious diseases to spread like wild fire throughout the camps. In Auschwitz I, the prisoners lived in brick barracks with hundreds of three leveled bunk beds. The barracks did not have heating or any sanitary components to them. The barracks were extremely overcrowded, had leaking roofs, and there were rats running all over the place.
"While in the camps, prisoners received three meager meals a day. If they were performing "light" labor they would be given 1,300 calories of food a day. If they were doing more demanding work they would be fed 1,700 calories a day. As a result of being fed a very small amount of food in relation to the amount of work they were doing, many prisoners suffered from malnutrition and a form of physical deterioration they referred to as the "Muzulman state"."

Correctional Boot Camps, 2006.
Discusses the benefits that can be achieved by sending troubled teenagers to correctional boot camps.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 4 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that correctional boot camps for troubled teenagers are therapeutic in-prison and outside programs "that resemble military basic training. They emphasize vigorous physical activity, drill and ceremony, manual labor and other activities" (Ashcroft, Daniels & Hart 2). Every aspect of behavior is subject to strict rules. The paper also discusses the numerous potential benefits that can be produced by these programs such as character development, instilling a sense of responsibility, the promotion of positive self-image, and occasionally reduced recidivism rates to facilities for young offenders. Boot camps can produce attitudinal and behavior change as well as improved coping skills.
