	Predator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Some might consider herbivores to be predators as well, but this is arguable as most herbivores only consume parts of their food species, leaving the remainder alive.
		There may be hierarchies of predators; for example, though small birds prey on insects, they may in turn be prey for snakes, which may in turn be prey for hawks.
		Sometimes an apex predator may have a profound influence on the balance of organisms in a particular ecosystem; introduction or removal of this predator, or changes in its population, can have drastic cascading effects on the equilibrium of many other populations in the ecosystem.

	Surette - Predator Criminals as Media Icons
		Predator criminality is defined as interpersonal, stranger to stranger, injury causing crime in which usually innocent, helpless victims are randomly chosen.
		In the crime and justice arena, the myopic focus on predator crimes is thus heightened by the perception of criminal as a separate breed, encouraging the perception of social and economic factors as irrelevant (Scheingold, 1984:66).
		By the late 1970s, criminology tended to emphasize the offender as a rational responsible deterable creature, as a generalized group criminals were less the victims of society and more ruthless predators upon it.

	Environment
		Predators: A predator is an organism that requires the consumption of more than one prey to develop to maturity.
		Predation is generally density-dependent in its action and therefore is one of the key factors in regulating the population density of prey species.
		Promising natural enemy candidates for the control of native pests or in new associations would be required to have the same attributes as those used against introduced pests such as ecological compatibility, high searching capacity and fecundity, short developmental period, and should not be monophagous as otherwise they could not attack the new host.

	Jeff Ferrell and Neil Websdale, eds. Making Trouble: Cultural Constructions of Crime, Deviance, and Control.
		Ferrell, one of criminology’s brightest young Turks, was the recipient of the 1998 Critical Criminologist of the Year Award, presented by the Critical Criminology Division of the American Society of Criminology, and is the leading exponent of cultural criminology.
		Cultural criminology is both an analytic perspective and a set of topics; it explores the complex interplay between popular culture, media institutions, crime, deviance and social control.
		In addition to the very useful introductory and concluding essays by the editors that describe the antecedents of cultural criminology and future lines of fruitful inquiry, the book is divided into five sections focusing on constructions of history and myth, gender and crime, subcultures and crime, policing and control, and crime and terrorism.

	The Hare and the Tortoise: Dangerousness and Sex Offender Policy in the United States and Canada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		At a macro-level, the community protection movement is part of a shift in governance from welfarist approaches to remedying individual and socio-economic deficits to neo-liberal, state-community partnerships for managing all manner of perceived risks and associated fears (Brown and Pratt 2000).
		The emphasis of the classical approach was on holding rational offenders accountable for their offences through a system emphasizing due process of law and penalties proportionate to the seriousness of offences.
		This legislation mandated states to identify which sex offenders might be considered sexually violent predators and required that such offenders be subject to state and federal registration and notification requirements for life (Petrunik 2002: 494).

	Models Of Dangerousness: A Cross Jurisdictional Review Of Dangerousness Legislation and Practice
		While punishment is contrary to a clinical perspective, confinement for an indeterminate period may be viewed as necessary, depending on the offender's risk level and the nature and seriousness of his disorder, to protect both the public and the offender and to facilitate treatment.
		Sexually Violent Predators law was a civil measure designed to deal with gaps in protection that stemmed in part from sentencing reforms based on a justice model that took place in the early 1980's.
		A Sexually Violent Predator is defined as any person, previously convicted of and/or currently charged with one or more of several specified crimes of sexual violence, who is deemed to have a mental abnormality or personality disorder which makes him likely to engage in predatory acts of sexual violence.

		In criminology, there is the cycle of violence thesis used to explain the escalation patterns of repeat victimization, and the intergenerational thesis used to explain the one-third of offenders who learned how to become abusers by growing up in a family where they witnessed abuse.
		Controversies exist in criminology over exactly how "organized" is organized crime, the role of kinship ties, the role of a common ethnic heritage, and what is the best way to fight it.

		Mr Speaker, the terms "cyberstalking" and "child predator" are now commonly used to describe two activities where the Internet has become the means of committing various stalking offences.
		The second term, child predator, refers to those who intentionally focus their stalking activities on children.
		At one end of the spectrum are paedophiles who trawl through the Internet chat rooms seeking children to prey on and at the other are those intent on scaring children with email messages that contain lewd or violent material.

	NO MINOR MATTER
		With frequent references to "juvenile predators," "hardened criminals," and "young thugs," U.S. lawmakers at both the state and federal levels have increasingly abandoned efforts to rehabilitate child offenders through the juvenile court system.
		Indeed, Representative McCollum asserted, "Today's drop in crime is only the calm before the coming storm."13 Such an approach takes a demographic projection-that there will be more teenagers in the future-and wildly extrapolates from studies of chronic delinquency to conclude that a youth crime wave is in the wings.
		This is phony criminology, relying as it does on a predictiontechnique that is, in Zimring's words, "empty of logical and empirical content." 14 Zimring continues:

		In principle, the expected value of the sort of street crime that is facilitated by brandishing a firearm should decrease as the chances of being shot by a victim, a good Samaritan or a police officer, increases.
		Increasing the chances that a predator may encounter armed prey--or may have to deal with an armed Good Samaritan--might very well diminish the value of a firearm to him rather than increase it.
		When discussing the effects of concealed carry laws, one should not overlook the evident fact that such laws are capable of putting the Zimring-Cook hypothesis to a practical test.
