The Pandemic Has Hindered Many of the Best Ideas for Reducing Violence
Introduction
With the emergence of the pandemic has resulted into affected the crime rate in the
countries globally. During the year 2020, when the pandemic was spreading at a higher pace,
the number of registered crimes were seemed to be declining. Therefore, this essay throws
some light on the topic stating how the pandemic has resulted to hindering the most of the
best ideas for reducing the violence.
Main body
As per the report, it has been found that nearly each and every type of crimes have
declined in the year 2020 but there is an exception to this is that the shootings and homicides
are increasing in the cities across the country US. The below graphs represent it.

The pandemic has frayed all the various types of institutions and the associations which holds
the community together, or which leads to mediate conflicts over the streets etc. There were
programs which were devised to reduce the gun violence which has resulted into proving
effective pertaining to studies has been upended by the this global outbreak (Nnawulezi and
Hacskaylo, 2021). The violence prevention workers were barred from the hospitals. Now the
violence prevention activities were masked int small groups in the public parks and online.
Without jobs, and support many people have been at their home having the history
of violence and the conflicts. This results into making it difficult to say how much this has
contributed towards the violence in that year (Hatchimonji and et.al., 2020). Some of the

trends which were identified in the year are relatively straight such as the residential
robberies which has decreased as the people were spending more days at home. Shoplifting
was reduced as the businesses were closed down. But on the other hand, the incidents of
stolen cars increased within the cities as the novice delivery vehicles left their working cars in
the road. Therefore, it has difficult to grapple the violence in this particular time as it diverges
drastically from the other crime.
But there was a rise in the violence around the cities which coincided in late May
and Early June because of the mass protest carried out after the death of the George Floyd
within the police custody. But it was not necessarily because of the police pullback or due to
the protest themselves which resulted into violence and this has in addition, led to creating an
abrupt increase in the nonresidential burglaries (Rosenfeld and Lopez, 2020). Along with
this, there is evidence that the presence of the non-profit communities has helped in reducing
the violent crimes and in addition to this, there were other proof as well which states that the
hospitals also play an important role in regard to reducing the violence under the situation
when the gunshot victims were determined within the trauma centers for the interventions. In
addition to this, there are randomized control trials which highlighted that the summer youth
employment program has helped in reducing the violent crime among the participants as well
even after the program was ended.
Libraries, parks, rec centers, pools, free internet are the crime reducing activities and
resources. It is suspected that the cities that will successfully weather the rise in the violence
are mainly the one which has made an investment into these resources and activities for the
many years before the outbreak of this pandemic (Badger and Bui, 2020). Along with that,
the cities which have cut them out will be majorly dependent upon the policing strategies
pertaining to declining the violence. In Chicago a program aimed at at-risk teens called
“Choose to Change” which has been a success in decreasing the violent crime arrest along
with the contact with the criminal justice system. This model was mainly relied upon the
mentorship with the community advocates along with the behavioral therapy which aids in
addressing the trauma.
Conclusion
It can be summaries from the above that there is a decline in the violent crime
activities within the country across the cities which is favorable for the country. But on the
other hand, there are certain criticism which is being faced in relation to it which is that there
is increase in other crimes like the shootings and homicides. But on an overall basis,
pandemic has led to reduction in violence through various ideas.

Purpose and Goals of Punishment
Introduction
The fact that a practice exists does not automatically imply that it is, or can be,
consistently justified in its given form (even if this may have been the case in the past). Some
people think that disciplinary behavior is a morally difficult practice, in that sense it requires
a safe (ethical) profession. This study examines the protection of Dutch disciplinary law from
a specific perspective. The purpose of this study is to determine that a system of predictable
legitimacy based on the premise of moral legitimacy is the core and practice of British legal
discipline (McPherson & Sauder, 2013).
To analyse the relationship between the moral theory of control and the demand for
control, significant steps have been taken to see if the ideas arising from the presumption of
legal ethics are related to experts on criminal values. It is also important to examine how
these concepts used by leaders relate to each other. Comments on fringe benefits and review
are limited to three standard categories: criminal, expedited and restorative justice. The crime
hypothesis is stated in the title. Public support for the penitentiary system has a double
dignity. It was concerned about past crimes tonight. Suffering and total trauma, as well as
internal abuse (rejection) must be of quality, and this balance must be restored.
