Abstract
This paper examines how institutionalization has historically been the juvenile justice system's primary reaction to at-risk girls. The majority of female juvenile delinquents committed less serious offenses, such as running away and truancy. It discusses how the juvenile justice system concentrated on detaining and committing these status offenders instead of examining what caused their problems and providing community-based services to effectively address them. It points out that young girls are more likely than boys to be incarcerated for status and minor offenses, such as truancy, running away, curfew violations, and petty theft, although the number of detained cases involving girls is growing at a slower rate than the number of court referrals involving girls.
From the Paper
"According to Chesney-Lind & Shelden (1992), young women may be acting out as a means of self-protection in response to life-threatening conditions in many cases. Female juvenile delinquency has been reportedly caused by family problems to include sexual and/or physical abuse in the home. A large majority of female juvenile offenders report that their first arrest was for running away from home to avoid physical and sexual abuse. According to Bergsmann (1994), commitment is still a frequently used solution in today's society when no alternatives are available within the community to assist young women in crisis situations. Many programs designed to address the special needs of female delinquents remain inadequate in most states."

Abstract
Institutionalization has historically been the juvenile justice system's primary reaction to at-risk girls. The juvenile justice system concentrated on detaining and committing these status offenders, instead of examining what caused their problems and providing community-based services to effectively address them. This paper shows that the juvenile justice system is based on prevention, intervention, and treatment; therefore, meaningful preventive measures, successful intervention efforts, and constructive rehabilitative programs should remain at the heart of the system. It argues that the system should hold offenders accountable and nurture them. This is particularly true for juvenile female offenders in light of the deep emotional needs evidenced by many young women who are in the system. Likewise, an effective juvenile justice system is one that promotes and fosters self-control and responsibility among young women, helps them become accountable for their actions, and promotes the public safety and welfare.
From the Paper
"Misguided stereotypes and inadequate programming continue because there is a lack of information on female juvenile offenders. Research on juvenile offenders should include significant samples of girls, when possible, to identify and address the impact of gender on girls' life situations, behaviors, strengths, and needs. To prevent girls from becoming involved in the juvenile justice system, profiles of girls who are likely to become involved in the system should be identified. Efforts to predict which young people are likely to engage in at-risk or delinquent behavior, based on early childhood behavior, have proved to be of little success for girls."

Abstract
This paper analyzes data and figures that relate to female juvenile crime in order to assess the current trends of this phenomenon. It notes that there was an increase in female crime, but male crime remained stagnant. It also looks at the types of crime and explains that violent crime was also on the increase.
From the Paper
"Much has been made of how the media practically compels women to think of themselves as objects. If a girl is not beautiful and successful in the ways depicted in advertising?and few are?then she would have to have the inner strength obtained by having adequate family and organizational/institutional support. So, one can posit one reason as the media and advertising images girls have to contend with, and at just that pubescent period of their lives when they are probably feeling a little lost in various ways in any case."

"FEMALE JUVENILE DELINQUENTS: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES
CAUSES OF FEMALE JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
The past several decades has seen an increase crime in America. Crime is becoming more and more prevalent, not just in society as a whole, but among juveniles as well. While this problem affects both males and females, most attention and study has been given to male juvenile offenders.
Compared to male offenders, female offenders have received little empirical attention. ...Female offenders constitute a relatively small proportion of criminal offenders. ...About 18% of adults and juveniles who were arrested in 1992 in the United States were females (U.S. Department of Justice ..."

Abstract
This paper examines two differing attitudes towards deterring juvenile crime in Florida: The state agency that deals with juvenile offenders, and Janet Reno, ex-Attorney General of the United States. The state agencies wish to protect the public at all costs by minimizing youth crime, but not to work on the problem of the youth itself. It explains how this differs form Janet Reno who advocates focusing on youth at risk, in particular devising educational settings where troubled youth can receive counseling and have an opportunity to rekindle an interest in learning.
From the Paper
"The public has a strong interest in how juvenile offenders are handled, because some juveniles have committed horrific crimes. For example, in 2004 Robert Acuna, then 17 years old, was convicted of executing two elderly neighbors "execution style." He then stole their car. The jurors had to consider whether there were any factors, such as his young age, that should argue for any kind of leniency (Liptak, 2005). However, court observers noted that his courtroom behavior may have worked against him. The prosecutor, Renee Magee, described him as "nonchalant" and laughing at inappropriate times. She said, "He still didn't quite get the magnitude of everything he did." (Liptak, 2005)"

Abstract
This paper critiques an article about the use of marijuana by American high school seniors, entitled "The Contingent Effects of Risk Perception on Risk-Taking Behavior: Adolescent Participative Orientation and Marijuana Use". The paper first explains that the authors of the report see marijuana use as an example of risk-taking behavior, and presume that a reduction in marijuana use would mean that the perception of risk has increased and that this is leading to a lower rate of use. The paper then goes on to summarize the report and explain its findings.
From the Paper
"The authors find that risk perception by itself accounts for about 21% of the variation in risk-taking behavior of marijuana use. Using the four participative orientations - sports, fun, school, and creative - the explained variance of marijuana use was increased to 33%, and all activity orientations except creative significantly affected marijuana use. Sports and school showed relatively small negative effects, while fun activities had a distinctively large and positive effect on marijuana use. The authors also find after analysis that the net effect of risk perception on marijuana use was statistically insignificant. "

Abstract
This paper defines risk management and assessment and discusses their importance to corporations and the public. The paper then focuses on effective risk management tools. It describes three websites and discusses their understanding of risk management. The paper also discusses specific websites that do not display a thorough understanding of risk management and assessment.
From the Paper
"Risk management needs to be understood from a variety of angles. Firstly, risk should be defined for its nature and effect upon not only the company, but also all possible stakeholders. Risk management procedures exist to protect both the workplace, the workforce, or the public. Risk to the corporation is anything endangering the vision, mission and profitability of the company. Secondly, risk to the workforce entails those risks that may result in injury or death to the employee, or that may lead to health or other physical hazards. Employees may also incur risks from non-physical sources such as long work hours or a highly stressful job situation, which could be brought about by a variety of factors. Thirdly, risks can also be posed to the public, in terms of health, safety and financial well-being. A gas company may for example risk the health of the surrounding population by exceeding legally allowed gas emissions."

Abstract
This paper reviews several articles discussing female sexuality. It reviews articles on what female sexuality is, what is involved in the sexuality of females, what helps aide in feminine sexuality and what hinders a women's sexuality. The paper looks at some of the problems associated with women's sexuality and whether these are perceived, physical, or medical problems. Finally,it examine how women see their own sexuality.
From the Paper
"Before the advent of the ?sexual revolution? in the 1960s the subject of female sexuality was considered taboo in so called polite society. Discussion of sexuality by females was viewed as an aberration. Women were taught and told that the normal reaction of women towards sexual intercourse was that they generally did not feel any physical or emotional pleasure from it. Sex was a means to an end; by performing their wifely duty to please their mates women were subjugated to the role of baby maker. This severe repression of female sexuality and its total submission to reproductive functions determined the limits of knowledge for untold generations of women (Gomex 1995)."

Abstract
The paper reviews in detail the image of Medusa that pits femininity and masculinity against each other and allowing masculinity to triumph. The paper continues by stating that the gaze of the painted female subject often is depicted with her eyes either diverted from the viewer, or coyly regarding him. The author states that myths like the Medusa myth and the female gaze instruct women that their sexuality is something to be suppressed, that a powerful woman is a dangerous woman, and that the male will triumph in the end.
From the Paper
"Though the familiar image of Medusa as a serpent-haired monster is attributed to the Greeks, the myth of Medusa actually has its roots in pre-classical Mediterranean culture. In the matriarchal societies that existed before Greek civilization, Medusa was far from reviled as she was by the Greeks; instead, she was worshipped as a beautiful mother deity who symbolized wisdom, fertility, and female power. With the advent of Greek civilization, the existing gynocentric religion and mythology were compelled to adapt to the new patriarchal value system."

Abstract
This paper examines wives? relationships with other women, be they mothers, daughters, or confidantes, as a destructive force in the minds of ancient Greek men.
From the Paper
"There are two main types of women that can change the course of an ancient Greek play by their effects on the tragic heroine: mother and confidante. In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, we see the first of these types. Demeter, a mother distraught over her daughter?s abduction and rape, is only pacified by the breakup of Persephone?s marriage for four months out of the year. In this case, the cost of preserving the mother-daughter bond is the sacrifice of the daughter?s marriage for a third of every year. The maternal bond and the marriage bond seem to be incompatible; here, the two are unable to coexist spatially or temporally. It is Demeter who, by her passive-aggressive registration of disapproval, manages to become every son-in-law?s nightmare by turning his newlywed wife against him. "

Female Indian Presidents, 2008.

Abstract
This paper looks at a number of issues in Indian society that will perplex even a female head of government. Specifically, time is devoted to looking at the foreign policy issue of immigrant Indian women abuse in America (perpetrated by spouses who are citizens or permanent residents of that country) and why a female leader could surely do no worse than her male predecessors. From there, the paper examines how social justice concerns may finally muscle their way to the forefront of Indian politics. The paper also devotes time to looking at the impetus a female leader might give to political representation initiatives aimed at providing women more seats in the national parliament after generations of marginalization.
From the Paper
"To start with, a female president can begin pushing for changes that will help address women's issues long ignored by male politicians; needless to say, these changes can also be changes in how India approaches other lands on various issues. For example, many Conditional Residency Status Immigrant Women who marry men classified as United States citizens or as permanent residents of America enjoy what is commonly known as "conditional residency" for 24 months. These women must file a joint application to get their condition lifted 90 days before the 24 month period expires. In the case of women who find themselves trapped in abusive relationships, the spouse almost invariably refuses to participate in a joint application. "

Abstract
The researcher reviews two male and two female leaders in large global organizations. The researcher examines the long-term objectives, mission, values and beliefs of the organization in an attempt to discern whether female led organizations are more apt to adopt different long- term goals than male led organizations. The paper shows how males and females are likely to perform equally well when afforded the opportunity to take on advanced leadership roles within an organization. The paper stresses, however, that as long as stereotypes exist regarding women's ability to perform adequately within the organizational leadership role, women will continue to struggle to maintain egalitarian representation in the world of corporate society.

From the Paper
"Studies suggest that roughly 79 percent of the female population and 82 percent of the male population believe that men and women manage differently and thus, contribute to the organization's bottom line in different ways (RBI, 2004). This assumes a potential difference in the ways male vs. female organizations lead, including their goal setting preferences. According to recent surveys of 1,000 employees RBI (2004) revealed that more and more women are also breaking into top organizational roles, and within these roles are more likely to be described as either "controlling, approachable or direct" (RBI, 2004)."
