Joel P Brown

Paper writes when I think. This pen bleeds words out in ink. Take it in, breath it out.  Creating characters, like dropping a deus ex machina, giving them a voice to speak.

Now, what am I?

A Story.

Joel Brown is a passionate individual that finds a hurt to heal in the entertainment industry as a WRITER, CRAFT/FINE ARTIST and DANCER with the expectancy for an eventual opportunity of progressive growth toward a career interest in the field of Drama, TV, Film and Cosplay.

Joel Brown wants to do more then just write screenplays and book that show God's love through characters, but help people to rewrite their own stories; so they can turn to help others rewrite theirs for a domino effect.

MISSION: Recycle, Reduce, Reuse Misfits & Criminals

VISION: A crime-free world

I have this theory that Recycle, Reduce and Reuse not only works for trash but criminals in closing the loop to seeing crime repeat, by turning criminals into something valuable after they serve their time in prison, instead of just rehabilitating them to find a deadbeat job and misfit lifestyle that would make them return to the life of crime as a means of acting-out in response to how they are treated by society after imprisonment and for survival.

The world has a warped and twisted value system

"An evil or an injury that happens to the victim through no fault of his own, the proper role of the bystander”. As a result, the root cause of suicide seems to trace back to value. While the world’s value system is known for doing one of the two things: degrading and exalting a person in pride and arrogance" (ref. Pastor Bill-Joe Daugherty, 'You Are Valuable').

Thus, "causing that person to take on this impression that’s not really true about whom they are. In which, the standard of value that society puts on people can have an affect on the mind; to cause a distortion that concerns the worth of a person. This causes a person to see him or her self through a natural lens, where the outside appearance either looks valuable or invaluable" (ref. Pastor Bill-Joe Daugherty, 'You Are Valuable').

"This can also result to a creation of inner turmoil through a person that comes from putdowns and terrible things a person has went through due to having taken on a distorted value from society’s value system. It’s for this reason a person can loose hope with the motivation to go on when they are hit with a situation that they now have to live under; whether its choosing to let the oppression of drugs, alcohol, poverty, depression, discouragement, or self-pity lead a person down the road of depression to move into suicide tendencies" (ref. Pastor Bill-Joe Daugherty, 'You Are Valuable').

“Most people who have taken their life have been affected by the world’s value system. Their inferiority feelings were tremendous, because the putdowns from society made them feel small and embarrassed. If people don’t measure up, the ultimate end of rejection and depression for many is suicide” (ref. Pastor Bill-Joe Daugherty, 'You Are Valuable').

CRIMINOGENIC NEEDS: THE RISK OF RETURNING TO PRISON:

What makes prisoners more likely to commit another crime when they get out of prison? Is it the lack of a job? Hanging around with friends from the "old neighborhood?" Low self-esteem?

According to prisonfellowship.org they say, “CRIMINOGENIC NEEDS — Quite a bit of research has been done to identify criminogenic needs—a tongue-twister of a phrase that refers to major risk factors highly associated with criminal conduct.

1.) ANTISOCIAL VALUES AND BELIEFS.

2.) ANTISOCIAL PEERS.

3.) PERSONALITY TRAITS.

4.) FAMILY DYSFUNCTION.

5.) LOW SELF-CONTROL.

6.) SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

Whereas, THE FACTORS THAT DO NOT HEIGHTEN THE RISK OF RECIDIVISM are Equally valuable is being aware of the factors not included in the list of criminogenic factors—which means these factors do not generally predict a high risk of returning to crime: Low self-esteem, Mental-health issues, Low education status, and Lack of employment options.

DID YOU KNOW TEACHING THE BIBLE CAN REDUCE THE CRIME RATE:

According to Melvina Sumter *, Frank Wood, Ingrid Whitaker and Dianne Berger-Hill from the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VI 23529, USA; fwood@odu.edu (F.W.); iwhitake@odu.edu (I.W.); dbergerh@odu.edu (D.B.), they said that “Studies have pointed to how religious beliefs are associated with self-control. Second, researches have examined the social control aspects of religion. In particular, how factors such as level of participation and social support from such participation reduces criminal activity. Likewise, findings suggest that although there has been a sizable number of studies and diverse interests of researchers examining the religion/crime nexus, the research has not identified which aspects of religion have the strongest influence on crime reduction. In addition, the specific ways in which these factors are associated with crime reduction have not been comprehensively identified. Similarly, more than 40 years of empirical scholarship suggests that religion suppresses criminal behavior. Nevertheless, these findings remain controversial as the literature neither accentuates the mechanisms of religion responsible for suppressing criminal behavior, nor does the literature reject the spuriousness of the religion-crime association relative to mediating effects of self-control and social control. Finally, our review suggests that methodological constraints infringe on the capacity for sociological and criminological to accurately ascertain the validity of the religion-crime nexus, often generating mixed or inconclusive findings on the religion-crime association.”
