  • JOURNAL OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE EDUCATION Back to Top

    The Journal of Criminal Justice Education (JCJE) is an official publication
    of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS). JCJE provides a forum
    for research and debate of a broad range of issues concerning post-secondary
    education in criminal justice, criminology and related disciplines. The
    aim of JCJE is the pedagogical enhancement of criminal justice and criminology
    higher education. Quality articles that address specific educational, academic,
    or professional development issues in these areas are encouraged and will
    be considered for publication. Articles that deal principally with applied
    training or practitioner concerns unrelated to criminal justice and criminology
    higher education are not likely to be considered or accepted for publication.
    All articles selected for publication will be subjected to peer review. 
    JCJE will also feature book review essays devoted to thematic topics and
    a small number of individual book reviews per issue.  For publication
    consideration, please submit four hard copies, a $10 check for processing
    made payable to ACJS, and a cover letter stating the originality of the

  • Home Children:

    Impoverished or orphaned children - usually between eight and 16 years of age, but as young as four - who were sent from Britain to Canada throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s. These children were placed into "receiving homes" (usually in Ontario) for a short period, and then were sent to rural farming communities in the western provinces as a source of cheap labour on family farms. Dr. Barnardo's Homes, a British boarding agency founded by Thomas John Barnardo, placed most of these children in Canada. However, many of these children were physically, emotionally and mentally abused - particularly boys. By the 1920s, Canadian social welfare leaders like J. S. Woodsworth started to decry this practice as being barbaric and inhumane. It eventually curtailed off during the Great Depression of the 1930s, but only because of poor economic conditions.

The Three Imposters

OF SPIRITS WHICH ARE CALLED DEMONS.
I

We have fully commented on how the belief in Spirits was introduced among men, and how these Spirits were but phantoms which existed in their imagination. The ancient Philosophers were not sufficiently clear to explain to the people what these phantoms were, and did not allow themselves to say that they could raise them. Some seeing that these phantoms dissolved and had no consistence, called them immaterial, incorporeal, forms without matter, or colors and figures, without being, nevertheless, bodies either colored or defined, adding that they could cover themselves with air like a mantle when they wished to render themselves visible to the eyes of men. Others said that they were animated bodies, but were composed of air, or some other more subtle matter which condensed at their will when they wished to appear.

These two kinds of Philosophers being opposed in the opinion which they had of phantoms, agreed in the name which they gave them, for all called them Demons, in which they were but little more enlightened than those who believed they saw in their sleep the souls of the dead, and that it is their soul which they see when they look in a mirror, and who also believed that they saw (reflected) in the water the souls of the stars. After this foolish fancy they fell into an error which is hardly less supportable, that is, the current idea that these phantoms had infinite power. An absurd but ordinary belief with the ignorant who imagined that whatever they did not understand was an infinite power.

III

This ridiculous opinion was no sooner published than the Sovereigns began to use it to support their power. They established a belief concerning spirits which they called Religion, so that the fear which the people possessed for invisible powers would hold them to their obedience. To have it carry more influence they distinguished the demons as good and bad. The latter to encourage men to obey their laws, and the former to restrain and prevent them from infringing them. No
