Which type of justice is most useful based on the psychological theories of crime?

/in /by

Assignment 1: Society’s Response to Crime

Society’s response to crime has changed over the past century. The approach of rehabilitation in the 1960s has gradually been replaced with a “get tough on crime” approach, bringing in mandatory sentencing laws and long prison sentences. Regardless of the approach, crime continues to be a problem, and recidivism for some crimes and some offenders remains high. In this assignment, you will explore society’s response to crime and different concepts of justice.

Read the following article from the Argosy University online library:

  • Tyler, T. R. (2006). Restorative justice and procedural justice: Dealing with rule breaking. Journal of Social Issues, 62(2), 307–326. DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-4560.2006.00452.x (EBSCO AN 20779250)
    http://libproxy.edmc.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx? direct=true&db=pbh&AN=20779250&site=ehost-live

Research the ideas of justice using the textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

Based on your research and the discussions so far, analyze the usefulness of the ideas of justice in lowering recidivism. Address the following:

  • Is restorative justice useful in lowering the rate of recidivism? For which types of crimes and offenders is it most useful? Make sure to include any demographic information that may be useful in defending this type of “justice.”
  • Is procedural or moral justice more applicable for this aim? For which types of crimes and offenders is it most useful? Make sure to include any demographic information that may defend one or the other.
  • Which type of justice is most useful based on the psychological theories of crime? For which types of crimes and offenders is it most useful?

Make sure your essay includes the following:

  • A title page with a running head
  • Headings
  • A reference page

Write a 5–7-page essay in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A1.doc.

Counseling Vignette

As you have learned in this module, attending skills are vital for focusing on the patterns and behaviors of your clients. This assignment will give you an opportunity to attend to a client and see if you can notice specific behavioral, emotional, and cognitive patterns of possible concern to a counselor.Read the following fictional case study and identify all three presenting aspects of this client as they appear in the case study.

Create a table listing all the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive aspects of this client as they appear in the case study. Be careful not to interpret or assess. You are simply listing these aspects as they appear in the case study.Note: All aspects of this case study are completely fictional and any resemblance to a real person is coincidental.

Terri is an 18-year-old, single, college freshman, who is attending school on a full scholarship for basketball.

She is the only child of a single mother who lives in a studio apartment close to the school.

Your client reports, “Last week in a playoff game, I missed one of two free throws early in the third quarter, and we lost the game by one point.” In spite of scoring a total of 24 points, making eight rebounds and four assists, Terri states to you, “It is my fault we lost the game.

I can’t eat or sleep. I keep replaying that missed shot over and over and over. I’ve been going to the park across the street from my apartment and shooting free throws until late at night.

I let my team down. This is my fault.”Terri lives in an older part of town where crime is on the rise.

She finds herself distracted and nervous and states her heart flutters.

She has sweaty palms, dry mouth, and she feels petrified at the thought of showing up for the practices starting in a couple of days. “For two days now I’ve sent all my calls to voice mail.

I can’t call teammates or friends. My mom is probably worried because she hasn’t heard back from me.” Again she states, “I should have made that free throw. I choked. I blew it.

It’s my fault we lost. That’s a lot of dreams right out of the window for my team.

”Terri sells shoes part time at the mall and is up for a promotion to assistant manager. She is due back at work in two days after her break and says she does plan to go to work.

She is physically healthy, has experimented with beer but has never been drunk, and denies homicidal or suicidal ideation.Next,

explain how you will elicit the amount and type of information from a client in a real face to face situation.

What skills will you employ? What behaviors will you look for in the client?

Develop a pamphlet that addresses how to increase middle- and late-childhood esteem, to be handed out to parents at their child’s school

/in /by

In middle and late childhood development, socioemotional development is marked by an increase of autonomy yet a need to belong. At this time, many families and schools see an increase (positive and negative) of esteem and peer relations. At times, these interactions are appropriate, other times they take darker tones such as bullying. Is there something we (as a society) can be doing to address these issues?

Activity Instructions
Develop a pamphlet that addresses how to increase middle- and late-childhood esteem, to be handed out to parents at their child’s school. This pamphlet should follow the form of examples provided in the Newsletter Examples link in the Resources area of this activity.

Your writing style will be a little different in a pamphlet than in a traditional research paper. You do not have to follow APA style although you must integrate and cite academic sources.

The required length is shorter for this activity than for the essays in other weeks, so make sure to be succinct with your language.

Writing Requirements (APA format)

  • 2-3 pages
  • A functional format with single-spaced text
  • Ease of reading and finding information
  • Aesthetics, including well-integrated images
  • Informative academic content

Explain how different kinds of questions are used for different purposes in interviews

/in /by

I need someone to conduct onduct two separate role-played interviews. Have your volunteer think of any two problems they might be facing in their life (preferably not real but imagined). They can be as wild and crazy as they would like, such as, “My llama ate my dining room table, so now I won’t get my deposit back on the apartment” and, “My roommate is a werewolf.”

For Scenario 1, you must play “20 Questions” to determine what your interviewee’s imaginary Problem #1 is. You only get 20 questions, and only “Yes-No” answers are allowed.

For Scenario 2, you must determine what your interviewee’s Problem #2 is, but you are allowed to ask open-ended questions.

Based on your two mock interviews, imagine you have been asked to speak to an undergraduate Counseling Skills course. Create a PowerPoint presentation to compare the results of the two mock interviews. Include the following in your presentation:

Explain how different kinds of questions are used for different purposes in interviews.Compare your experiences with both types of questions in this exercise. Which method of questioning felt more natural to you, and which felt like more work? Explain how your interviewee’s responses differed across the two sessions.Recommend questioning strategies to obtain needed information from clients, and then relate them to your future work as a helper.

Support your presentation with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 1 slides (with a separate reference slide)
Notes Length: 200-350 words for each slide
