How Verbal and Nonverbal Communication Affects Juvenile Facility?

Introduction

Juvenile delinquency refers to the crimes carried out by young people or minors. A criminal is one who relapses and commits crimes repeatedly. Most legal systems consider procedures for dealing with this problem, such as juvenile detention centers. There are many different theories about the causes of crime, most if not all of which can be applied to the causes of juvenile crimes. Juvenile crime routinely receives considerable attention from the media and politicians. This is because the level and types of juvenile crimes can be used by analysts and the media as an indicator of the general state of morality and public order in a country and, as a result, can be a source of alarm and moral panic. Like most types of offenses, crimes committed by juveniles have increased since the mid-twentieth century.

There are many theories about the causes of juvenile crimes, regarded important, however, in this study the effect of verbal and nonverbal communication in juvenile facilities will be assessed so that the role of communication can be identified. Class, race and gender, divisions continue to be among the central forces shaping how we live in a society. Social theorists, particularly sociologists, try to understand how societies structured and how 'power', 'class' or 'gender' distributed, organized and indexed. It is a major concern of sociolinguistics to examine the possible relationships between language, on the one hand, and concepts such as those mentioned above, on the other.

Discussion and Analysis

Verbal communication is the form of communication which depends on the word to transfer any message. On the other hand, any form of communication between people that do not rely on words (written, spoken, or transmitted by sign language) known as nonverbal communication. The principal form is body language in nonverbal, which may be deliberate, as in shrugging, winking, making eye contact, facial expression, or gesticulation, or it may be quite involuntary, as in blushing, shivering, or weeping. However, the main form of this language type is to peruse or convince them. Deliberate nonverbal communication may be used to reinforce verbal communication (e.g. nodding to reinforce an affirmative response) or to contradict it (e.g. raising the eyebrows when giving an expected response in which the responder does not believe). Alternatively a deliberate nonverbal gesture may replace verbal communication (e.g. giving the “thumbs-up” sign to indicate pleasure and approval). Involuntary nonverbal responses may also reinforce or contradict a verbal statement.

The polygraph (lie detector) makes use of these responses (changes in blood pressure, respiration rate, skin conductivity) to assess the validity of a verbal response (Cur'z, 2011). Some forms of nonverbal communication have universal meanings; others, however, are specific to cultures. For example, shaking or nodding the head may have different meanings in different communities. Not all nonverbal communication relies on body language. For example, the presuppositions shared by the communicators or the context within which the communication occurs can affect the meaning of an ...
