forensic psychology

/in /by

The provision of clinical services in forensic settings is, in some ways, very similar to non-forensic settings. However, forensic populations may provide challenges not typically seen in other settings. One challenge in many forensic clinical settings is the prediction of future behavior. In many cases, the behavior of interest is violence. Violence, like many behaviors that are rare, is, at best, difficult to predict. Much research has been conducted on the various methods used to predict future violence. From actuarial risk measures to clinical intuition, forensic psychology researchers have debated the best way to assess the potential for violent acts.

Other psychological issues found in clinical forensic settings and that trigger research questions include the development of treatment programs to restore an individual’s competency to stand trial, the treatment of the criminally insane, sex offender assessment and treatment, and even the general evaluation of the need for long-term placement. Research can help forensic psychology professionals make important decisions in these and other related areas.

Review this week’s DVD program, “Application of Psychological Research – Clinical Settings.” Consider the areas of forensic psychology research that are relevant to forensic clinical settings.

  • Review the article, “ Actuarial Versus Clinical Assessments of Dangerousness,” in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Pay particular attention to the studies discussed in the article and the key “takeaways” from these studies. Think about how a forensic psychology professional might use the findings of the studies in a forensic clinical setting.
  • Using the Walden Library, select and review another study, current or historical, that was conducted in a forensic clinical setting.
  • Again, focus on the key “takeaways” of the study you selected and think about how the findings might be used by a forensic psychology professional in forensic clinical settings.

With these thoughts in mind:

a brief summary of the study you selected, being sure to include the key findings and any other important “takeaways” of the study. Then, explain how a forensic psychology professional might use the findings in this or another clinical forensic setting.


Details of the appraisal process, healthcare management help

4 to 6 pages with citations and refernces

A key component of working as a manager is to conduct performance
appraisals for the employees whom you are managing. You feel that the
most effective way to carry out the performance appraisals is to create a
written policy that details the way performance appraisals will be
carried out.

As a Healthcare manager in a Community Hospital, construct a policy that
details how employee performance appraisals will be conducted in the
organization. In your policy, be sure to address the following criteria
at a minimum:

  1. Details of the appraisal process
  2. The frequency of performance appraisals
  3. The employees involved in the process

Keep in mind that the type of organization, as well as regulations,
may impact the type of criteria that the employee is appraised on.

Justification Report – Part 3 (Final), communications homework help

/in /by

Assignment 2.3: Justification Report – Part 3 (Final)

In Assignments 2.1 (Part 1) and 2.2 (Part 2) of the
Justification Report, you built up the major parts of your formal, researched
justification report (Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria,
Methods, Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References).
For Part 3 you will begin by inserting your revisions of Parts 1 and 2 based on
your instructor’s suggestions. Then, you will include a few new sections. Note:
Some sections presented below are out of order so pay attention to where the
section should go (for instance, the Transmittal should be the second page of
your report based on the provided template). It is essential that you present
the final report in the correct section order.

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your
responses to each question under the following section headings:

  • Preliminary Parts (for Question 1)

  • Introduction (for Question 2)

  • Problem Statement (for Question 2b)

  • Terminology (for Question 2c)

  • Major Sections of the Report (for Question 2d)

  • Scope and Limitations of the Research (for Question 2e)

  • Recommendation (for Question 3)

  • References (for Question 4)

Using the provided template from Week 7, write Part 3 to
complete a single-spaced report in which you:

  1. Create the preliminary parts of the report that precede the
    Introduction (after reading Chapter 11 in the textbook). Each element (1a to
    1d) appears on a separate page (1a should be page 1, 1b should be page 2,
    etc.). The preliminary part includes:

  1. Title Page

  2. Transmittal (stand-alone business letter)

  3. Table of Contents

  4. Executive Summary

  2. Create an
introduction that tells what your report is about. The introduction includes:

a. Begin with a general introduction paragraph that gives
the reader any needed background information on the company or problem.

b. Include the Problem Statement that you already created
and revised in Part 1.

c. Include terms that readers will need to know in order
to understand the report.

d. Briefly summarize the major sections and findings of
the report developed in Parts 1 and 2. Note: This is in addition to
including the revised sections not instead of including the revised previous
sections from Parts 1 and 2.

e. Discuss what your report will cover and what it will
not (including limitations such as research, time, information, or any other
factors the reader should consider when reading the report).

  3. Create the
Recommendation section of the Report.

a. Provide a one to two (1-2) sentence recommendation
based on what your Evaluation of Alternatives and Findings and Analysis
sections have determined is the most feasible alternative (i.e., solution) to
the problem in the Problem Statement.

  4. Create the
References section, which goes at the end of the Report by pasting in your
revised References page.

Note: Remember to organize the report by the section headings. The
report should reflect a style and format appropriate for business; single
spacing and bullet points are acceptable for formal business reports.

Your assignment must:

  • Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12),
    with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or
    school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional
    instructions.

assignment are:

  • Support ideas or claims in body paragraphs with clear details,
    examples, and explanations.

  • Organize ideas logically by using transitional words, phrases,
    and sentences.

  • Use sentence variety and effective word choice in written
    communication.

  • Apply writing process strategies to develop formal business
    reports and / or proposals.

  • Use technology and information resources to research issues
    related to selected topics.

do you agree?

Answer only needs to be at least a couple of paragraphs.

Answer the Bold question(s)

Many readers have commented on the libertarian politics of The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. Other texts were once more overtly political than they are today: for example, in the late 1800s there was a huge controversy over vivisection (performing surgery on live animals without anesthetics) and The Island of Doctor Moreau was very much a part of that controversy, even though for readers today that political theme hardly registers at all. Ditto for the population-control politics of “Billennium”; population control was a big political topic starting around the 1950s, though it seems to have largely faded from public discourse.

Yet other SF texts seem to have scarcely any overt politics at all (e.g., perhaps, “Semley’s Necklace”). I say “overt” here because I subscribe to the view that all Science Fiction has a political aspect, that in fact Science Fiction is an inherently political genre. Here I’m referring to the claim I mentioned in “Notes on the Study of Science Fiction,” namely, that if a text extrapolates some element of the present into a positive future, it suggests our society should continue doing what it’s doing (and sustaining the status quo is itself a political position). Conversely, if the extrapolated future is negative, the text suggests our society should in some way change course (which is also a political position). This is just one of the political dimensions of Science Fiction, though certainly an important one.

Using Robert Heinlein’s, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, “Semley’s Necklace,” plus one other of this unit’s texts (below), please discuss the question of Science Fiction and politics. You might consider addressing questions like these–When a text takes a strong political position, does that affect its value as literature? And do you agree with the idea that Science Fiction’s use of extrapolation makes it inherently political?–or other questions of your own choosing.


Please also choose one other text from the following list:

Stories from the The Oxford Book of Science Fiction:

Pohl, “Tunnel” Aldiss, “Who Can Replace a Man?”

Ballard, “Billennium” Smith, “Ballad of Lost C’mell”

Le Guin, “Semley’s” Blish, “How Beautiful with Banners”

Harrison, “Criminal”

Data

posted by Rosie Cordova

HR managers may benefit from understanding the differences between the four types of research data. Some data are not quantifiable and other type of data may be numerical or parametric. Simon (2005) writes the NOIR definitions in a self-explanatory way as follows:

Nominal (name only) data, or levels of measurement, are characterized by information that consists of names, labels, or categories only. These data cannot be arranged in an ordering scheme and are considered to be the lowest level of measurement. There is no criterion by which values can be identified as greater than or less than other values. Researches cannot, for example, average 12 Democrats and 15 Republicans and come up with 13.5 Independents. We can, however, determine ratios and percentages and compare the results to other groups.

Ordinal (or ranked) levels of measurement generate data that may be arranged in some order, but differences between data values either cannot be determined or are meaningless. For example, we can classify income as low, middle, or high to provide information about relative comparisons, but the degrees of differences are not available.

Interval level of measurement is similar to the ordinal level, with the additional property that you can determine meaningful amounts of differences between data. The level, however, often lacks an inherent starting point. For example, in comparing the annual mean temperatures of states, the value of “0 degrees” does not indicate no heat, and it would be incorrect to say that 40 degrees is half as warm as 80 degrees. Grade point averages (GPAs) are also considered interval levels of measuring knowledge. If someone has a 0.0 GPA this does not mean that they have no knowledge.

Ratio level of measurement is considered the highest level of measurement. It includes an inherent zero starting point and fractional values. As the name implies, ratios are meaningful for this type of measurement. The heights of children, distances traveled, waiting times, and the amount of gasoline consumed are ratio levels of measurement. A special form of ratio-level measurement is the binary (or dummy) variable of 1.0. This code represents the presence (1) or absence (0) of a certain characteristic (p. 72).

The different types of data dictate the type of analysis. An example of nominal data may be the different positions of an organization or applicant flow. Ordinal data may be data that may be ranked in some order such as employee behavior that meets standards, does not meet standards, or exceeds standards.

I need help with this assignment writing a thesis…

/in /by

By the mid-20th century, the United States had become the dominant force in
international relations. Some have argued that the United States’ military
functions as the world’s “police.” This assignment covers the manner in which
this shift occurred and the consequences the United States faces as a result of
its status as “policemen of the world.”

Begin by using the Internet and reputable news outlets to research two (2)
real-life international incidents from the past five (5) years in which:

  • The U.S. used military action abroad.
  • Controversy existed within the American public regarding U.S.
    involvement.
  • Controversy existed within the country or countries affected by U.S.
    involvement

Note: The resources used above do not count towards your
three (3) academic sources in most cases.

To prepare for your upcoming research paper on this topic in week 10, please
briefly answer the questions on the attached chart located here. Download the chart to your computer, fill it out, and
then submit it under the assignment link in week 7.

For this assignment, you will be completing the following tasks on the
provided chart:

  1. Write a thesis statement that is one to two (1-2) sentences long in which
    you:
    • State your thesis on the significance of the role of the US military as
      policemen of the world, particularly as exemplified in the two recent military
      incidents you researched. Justify your response.

      • Note: A thesis statement is usually a single sentence
        somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your main idea to the reader.
        The body of the essay organizes the material you gather and present in support
        of your main idea. Keep in mind that a thesis is an interpretation of a question
        or subject, not the subject itself. Please consult the Purdue OWL Website with
        tips on how to construct a proper thesis; the website can be found at: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/
  1. List two to three (2-3) US military interventions from the past five years
    that you investigated that can be traced back to a foreign policy created after
    the Civil War.
  2. List three (3) aspects of US history between 1865 and 1945 that led to the
    US’s rise as a world superpower policeman.
  3. List three to five (3-5) international incidents since World War II where
    America has taken on a policing role.
  4. List three to five (3-5) driving forces that fueled international policy
    decisions involving the international incidents you outlined previously.
    (Consider foreign policies, treaties, exit strategies, elections, wars,
    etc.)
  5. Use at least three (3) academic references besides e. or in addition to the
    textbook. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic
    resources

Assignment 1: Procedural Law and the Bill of Rights

Due Week 4 and worth 200 points

The Bill of Rights finds its roots in documents such as the British Magna Carta of 1215 AD. It was one of the first documents that provided the common man independence from a monarch. It did imply that the federal government’s law dominated all others; however, it gave each state control of any laws outside of those reserved to the federal government. The Bill of Rights acts as a blueprint that every individual state uses to protect the rights of individual citizens. In this assignment, you will utilize the various concepts found in the Bill of Rights to provide the foundation of the various sections of the question.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Compare and contrast two (2) of the sources of rights and fundamental principles found in the United States’ legal system as outlined by the text.
  2. Critically analyze and discuss two (2) steps of the criminal justice process from arrest to imprisonment.
  3. Identify and discuss the particular amendment related to arrest, search and seizures.
  4. Compare and contrast the concepts of probable cause and reasonable suspicion. In your own words, explain how they are similar or different.
  5. Examine and discuss the two (2) examples in which the exclusionary rule may not apply.
  6. Identify and discuss one (1) contemporary issue or case law related to the use of force.
  7. Use at least four (4) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Research and analyze procedures governing the process of arrest through trial.
  • Critically debate the Constitutional safeguards of key Amendments with specific attention to the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments.
  • Describe the difference between searchers, warrantless searches, and stops.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in the criminal procedure.
  • Write clearly and concisely about the criminal procedure using proper writing mechanics.
