Social Advocacy Proposal

Synopsis of the social problem
Men and women who have been released from prisons find it
difficult to reintegrate back into their communities because they
lack enough preparation, assistance, and resources. A felony
conviction on one's criminal record usually hinders employment
opportunities, public housing aid, and access to social
programs. Re-entry into the workforce is a major problem for
persons who have served time in prison. Employers are wary of
hiring people with criminal records, so formerly incarcerated
persons have difficulty finding and keeping work after they are
released (Poledna, 2021). Communities, families, and people are
affected by re-incarceration and failed re-entry. The most
vulnerable populations to this social problem are ex-offenders
and those who have recently been released from prison.
Synopsis of the policy
The chosen policy is PUBLIC LAW 110–199—APRIL 9, 2008.
This policy aims to break criminal recidivism to promote public
safety. The policy is a state statute, and one of its benefits is
that it aids in the rehabilitation of connections between
offenders and their families once they have been released.
Because it is designed to positively impact the life outcomes of
those who return to society after being incarcerated, the policy
addresses the aforementioned social problem (Holden, 2018).
According to the policy, funding may be allocated to state and
locally recognized local governments to support policies and
programs intended to reduce recidivism and provide
possibilities for those who have been released from juvenile
detention centers and prisons.
Reason for selecting the policy
As a policy advocate, I chose P.L. 110-199 as a strategy for
promoting social reintegration changes. Samuel Brownback and
Robert Portman were the bill's original sponsors, and it was
signed into law on APRIL 9, 2008. One of the main reasons for
choosing this approach is that changing the bill to enable
effective re-entry of ex-convicts into society reduces the
likelihood of returning to prison and eliminates the need to rely
on relatives for necessities. Furthermore, re-entry into the
workforce is a huge problem for people who have served time in
prison. Employers are hesitant to hire persons with criminal
backgrounds, making it difficult for previously incarcerated
people to find and keep jobs once they are released from prison
(Liberman, Hussemann & McKeever, 2021). Since many
offenders lack formal schooling or job experience, finding
profitable employment can be difficult. Aside from that, the fact
that this policy addresses a long-standing issue of social
reintegration that has plagued society throughout history is
another reason to choose this policy.
People who enacted the policy
The bill was initially proposed by Samuel Brownback and
Robert Portman and later signed into law on APRIL 9, 2008.
The statute reauthorized the establishment of a grant program
for the reintegration of adult and juvenile ex-offenders into
society. It also calls for improvements in reentry planning and
implementation. It directs the Attorney General to develop a
Juvenile Offender Reentry Resource Center to collect data and
assist grantees in implementing reentry programs.
Ways the policy impacts populations.
One of the major impacts of this policy on populations includes
its ability to facilitate increased flexibility during the re-entry
of youths and adults who have served their time in prisons.
According to recent polls, the P.L. 110-199 policy has reduced
recidivism among males in many states three years after its
introduction, making it a promising legislation for reducing
criminal recidivism. Since its inception, the policy has
consistently provided re-entry services such as housing and
employment assistance, substance abuse treatment, and victim
support, all of which are critical for persons being released from
prison (Doherty, 2018). Although the strategy has made
significant progress in guaranteeing the smooth reintegration of
ex-offenders, it has seen little development in states such as
Missouri, Alabama, and Virginia.
After being released from prison, offenders are pushed into a
new environment that is very different from their previous one,
and many struggle to adapt. Aside from that, ex-offenders who
have spent significant time in prison are released into an
environment that is radically different from their previous
surroundings due to the dynamic and constantly changing
environment. When most of them fail to have a support system,
they often fall into depression, anxiety, and stress, and some
often find themselves engaging in criminal activities. Therefore,
from a clinical setting, necessary changes must be made to the
policy to reduce the likelihood of ex-prisoners falling into
depression or getting re-arrested again.
Plan for social change
To reform this policy and improve the rights of ex-convicts, it
is critical to strive toward decreasing discrimination and stigma
through normalization. People need to understand that ex-
offenders are people like them and that they have reformed and
are ready to be integrated back into the community. By lobbying
for this policy, the issue of social reintegration will be
normalized, and awareness raised through local programs and
activities will go a long way toward ensuring that the
community aids in the smooth reintegration of ex-offenders.
Acquiring assistance from stakeholders while incorporating
social media to competitively work towards normalized social
reintegration will be critical.

Identification of a Social Problem
Student’s Name
Course

Describe a current social problem and the vulnerable population
it impacts.
Social Reintegration is one of the biggest social problems in the
United States. More than 500,000 individuals are freed from
prison every year, with three-quarters of those released being
apprehended again within five years of their release. Men and
women who have been released from correctional facilities find
it difficult to reintegrate into their communities because they
lack enough preparation, assistance, and resources. Employment
chances, public housing assistance, and access to social services
are all affected by a felony conviction on one's criminal record.
For those who have served time in jail, re-entry into the
workforce is a significant concern. Employers are wary of
hiring people with criminal backgrounds, and as a result, freed
convicts have a difficult time obtaining and maintaining
employment after being released (Obatusin & Ritter-Williams,
2019). Having even a minor criminal record creates major
barriers to employment and has far-reaching consequences. Re-
incarceration and unsuccessful re-entry have a devastating
impact on communities, families, and individuals. Ex-offenders
and those recently released from prison are the most vulnerable
populations to this social problem. People from minority
groups, notably young black men and those with limited
educational opportunities, have been disproportionately harmed
by this social problem.
How/when has this problem been identified historically, and
what were the actions taken to address this concern?
When a person is released from prison, it is generally a very
joyous day in their lives for them. It may be thrilling to be
reunited with loved ones and the rest of the free world. To
expect that the reintegration process into society would be
painless, on the other hand, would be a mistake. Former
criminals face several difficulties as they strive to rebuild their
life. This is particularly true for those who have served a long
prison sentence and are on parole. Since the construction of the
first jail in the 1770s, the challenges of prisoner re-entry into
society have been a long-standing source of concern in the
community. Throughout the twentieth century, however, the
issue of discrimination against ex-offenders gained momentum
in the public discourse.
To address this issue, the United States government has
developed a variety of interventions that take place after an
arrest to divert offenders away from the criminal justice system
and onto a more appropriate measure, such as restorative justice
or appropriate therapy, if necessary. After incarcerating
criminals, community-based sanctions are used to assist ex-
criminals in reintegrating into society rather than subjecting
them to imprisonment's marginalizing and harmful effects.
Individuals who have been sentenced to prison may use
correctional programs in jail and aftercare services following
their release. These programs are designed to assist jailed
individuals in their efforts to reintegrate into society and lead
law-abiding lives. In recent years, more emphasis has been
placed on developing comprehensive interventions to provide
frequent assistance to offenders both inside and outside of
prison.
How have the populations affected by the social
problem changed over time?
Ex-offenders who have challenges integrating back into society
often find themselves reoffending. Since the 1980s, this issue
has been more frequent, especially among male ex-offenders.
According to the National Institute of Justice, over 43 percent
of people recently released return to prison within a year of
their release date. The majority of the 500,000 offenders freed
in 35 states in 2020 were caught for a new crime within three
years of their parole, followed by 78 percent within six years
and 82 percent within nine years (Oliveira & Graca, 2021). An
extensive number of other factors have a role in recidivism,
including the individual's circumstances before imprisonment,
events during their incarceration, and the period after their
release from prison. Because it is difficult for them to
reintegrate into 'regular' society, one of the biggest reasons they
wind up back in jail is because they cannot find work. Many
offenders fear their upcoming release because they believe that
their lives will be different "this time," which does not always
materialize.
How might this social problem be incongruent with social work
values/ethics?
Re-entry into society after a traumatic event, rehabilitation, or
jail may be challenging for the individual and their family
members to navigate. Most of the time, there are several hurdles
in the path of these individuals being mentally healthy,
physically clean, and law-abiding citizens. So many social
workers are trained to help persons who are reentering society,
as well as their relatives and friends who are trying to aid them.
Social workers play a critical role in re-entry programs in the
United States and throughout the globe, particularly in prisons.
Social workers' responsibilities include, among other things,
ensuring the well-being of vulnerable ex-offenders and
providing support for their families (Nixon, 2020). Many social
worker degrees are offered with various specialties, including
jail social work at certain institutions. The goal of these
programs is to address the unique difficulties that people who
are jailed experience while also making certain that these
persons are treated with dignity and worth in the same manner
that everyone else is. Individual counseling, treatment
assessments for appropriate programs, and group programs are
all carried out by social workers to strengthen and support ex-
offenders who have been released from prison.
· Describe the next steps for how you will identify a policy.
The stages of establishing a policy included identifying the
problem, creating evaluation criteria, producing alternative
policies, analyzing other policies, and finally picking one
chosen policy. The chosen policy is PUBLIC LAW 110–199—
APRIL 9, 2008. This policy aims to break criminal recidivism to
promote public safety (Davis, 2018). One strength of this policy
is that it helps rehabilitate ties between offenders and their
families after being released. The limitation of this policy to
solving the identified social issue is that it does not encourage
the development and promotion of evidence-based measures that
increase public safety and reduce recidivism. It is necessary to
revise this policy, particularly how ex-offenders are prepared to
reintegrate into society. To provide continuous assistance to
criminals both inside and outside of prison, greater emphasis
should be placed on developing complete therapies that are
based on a continuity of care. Before being released from
prison, offenders should begin preparing for reintegration into
society. Interventions should be designed to enable their speedy
transfer from prison to community, reinforce the changes
achieved during in-prison treatment, and continue until they
have successfully reintegrated into their communities.

Discussion: Power in Social Work Practice
Social workers are in the business of empowering people. They
are also often faced with power structures that are entrenched
and difficult to navigate. Skillful policy practitioners recognize
the many kinds of power resources that exist, thus expanding
their options in specific situations.
As a social worker, you will learn various strategies that can
create and expand personal networks that might be useful in
negotiating your policy practice within an agency. You want
your power resources to be recognized as effective ways to get
things done, not as tools for coercion and force.
For this Discussion, you will identify power resources
(including person-to-person, substantive, process, and
procedural) that you can use to influence decision
makers and secure the adoption of a policy proposal. To
Prepare:
· Review Chapter 10 in the Jansson text. Focus on Jansson’s
categorization of types of power resources in the policy-
enacting task.
· Review the article by Rocha et al. in the Learning Resources
this week.
· Identify a type of power resource you would use in your
practice and advocacy.
· Search for and select at least one additional scholarly
article (not from the Learning Resources this week) related to
the power resource you identified. You will use this article to
help explain your selection. By Day 3
Post a brief description of why it is important for social
workers to be familiar with power dynamics when working with
decision makers. In your description, address the following:
· Identify the power resource you selected for use in your
practice and advocacy.
· Explain the resource you selected.
· How does this power resource work to influence decision
makers?
· Why is this power resource more appropriate for
your approach to practice and advocacy than others?
· Describe the ethical issues or concerns in using the type of
power resource you selected.
Be sure to support your post with specific references to this
week’s resources, as well as the additional scholarly article you
selected. Provide full APA-formatted citations for your
references.

12Social Advocacy ProposalErika Tallen

  • 1. 1 2 Social Advocacy Proposal Erika Tallent SOCW 6361 Synopsis of the social problem Men and women who have been released from prisons find it difficult to reintegrate back into their communities because they lack enough preparation, assistance, and resources. A felony conviction on one's criminal record usually hinders employment opportunities, public housing aid, and access to social programs. Re-entry into the workforce is a major problem for persons who have served time in prison. Employers are wary of hiring people with criminal records, so formerly incarcerated persons have difficulty finding and keeping work after they are released (Poledna, 2021). Communities, families, and people are affected by re-incarceration and failed re-entry. The most vulnerable populations to this social problem are ex-offenders and those who have recently been released from prison.
  • 2. Synopsis of the policy The chosen policy is PUBLIC LAW 110–199—APRIL 9, 2008. This policy aims to break criminal recidivism to promote public safety. The policy is a state statute, and one of its benefits is that it aids in the rehabilitation of connections between offenders and their families once they have been released. Because it is designed to positively impact the life outcomes of those who return to society after being incarcerated, the policy addresses the aforementioned social problem (Holden, 2018). According to the policy, funding may be allocated to state and locally recognized local governments to support policies and programs intended to reduce recidivism and provide possibilities for those who have been released from juvenile detention centers and prisons. Reason for selecting the policy As a policy advocate, I chose P.L. 110-199 as a strategy for promoting social reintegration changes. Samuel Brownback and Robert Portman were the bill's original sponsors, and it was signed into law on APRIL 9, 2008. One of the main reasons for choosing this approach is that changing the bill to enable effective re-entry of ex-convicts into society reduces the likelihood of returning to prison and eliminates the need to rely on relatives for necessities. Furthermore, re-entry into the workforce is a huge problem for people who have served time in prison. Employers are hesitant to hire persons with criminal backgrounds, making it difficult for previously incarcerated people to find and keep jobs once they are released from prison (Liberman, Hussemann & McKeever, 2021). Since many offenders lack formal schooling or job experience, finding profitable employment can be difficult. Aside from that, the fact that this policy addresses a long-standing issue of social reintegration that has plagued society throughout history is another reason to choose this policy. People who enacted the policy The bill was initially proposed by Samuel Brownback and Robert Portman and later signed into law on APRIL 9, 2008.
  • 3. The statute reauthorized the establishment of a grant program for the reintegration of adult and juvenile ex-offenders into society. It also calls for improvements in reentry planning and implementation. It directs the Attorney General to develop a Juvenile Offender Reentry Resource Center to collect data and assist grantees in implementing reentry programs. Ways the policy impacts populations. One of the major impacts of this policy on populations includes its ability to facilitate increased flexibility during the re-entry of youths and adults who have served their time in prisons. According to recent polls, the P.L. 110-199 policy has reduced recidivism among males in many states three years after its introduction, making it a promising legislation for reducing criminal recidivism. Since its inception, the policy has consistently provided re-entry services such as housing and employment assistance, substance abuse treatment, and victim support, all of which are critical for persons being released from prison (Doherty, 2018). Although the strategy has made significant progress in guaranteeing the smooth reintegration of ex-offenders, it has seen little development in states such as Missouri, Alabama, and Virginia. After being released from prison, offenders are pushed into a new environment that is very different from their previous one, and many struggle to adapt. Aside from that, ex-offenders who have spent significant time in prison are released into an environment that is radically different from their previous surroundings due to the dynamic and constantly changing environment. When most of them fail to have a support system, they often fall into depression, anxiety, and stress, and some often find themselves engaging in criminal activities. Therefore, from a clinical setting, necessary changes must be made to the policy to reduce the likelihood of ex-prisoners falling into depression or getting re-arrested again. Plan for social change To reform this policy and improve the rights of ex-convicts, it is critical to strive toward decreasing discrimination and stigma
  • 4. through normalization. People need to understand that ex- offenders are people like them and that they have reformed and are ready to be integrated back into the community. By lobbying for this policy, the issue of social reintegration will be normalized, and awareness raised through local programs and activities will go a long way toward ensuring that the community aids in the smooth reintegration of ex-offenders. Acquiring assistance from stakeholders while incorporating social media to competitively work towards normalized social reintegration will be critical. References Doherty, M. (2018). Public law.

Sociologie şi Asistenţă Socială, 14(1), 63-70. 1 6 Identification of a Social Problem Student’s Name Course Institution Date Describe a current social problem and the vulnerable population it impacts. Social Reintegration is one of the biggest social problems in the United States. More than 500,000 individuals are freed from prison every year, with three-quarters of those released being apprehended again within five years of their release. Men and women who have been released from correctional facilities find
  • 6. it difficult to reintegrate into their communities because they lack enough preparation, assistance, and resources. Employment chances, public housing assistance, and access to social services are all affected by a felony conviction on one's criminal record. For those who have served time in jail, re-entry into the workforce is a significant concern. Employers are wary of hiring people with criminal backgrounds, and as a result, freed convicts have a difficult time obtaining and maintaining employment after being released (Obatusin & Ritter-Williams, 2019). Having even a minor criminal record creates major barriers to employment and has far-reaching consequences. Re- incarceration and unsuccessful re-entry have a devastating impact on communities, families, and individuals. Ex-offenders and those recently released from prison are the most vulnerable populations to this social problem. People from minority groups, notably young black men and those with limited educational opportunities, have been disproportionately harmed by this social problem. How/when has this problem been identified historically, and what were the actions taken to address this concern? When a person is released from prison, it is generally a very joyous day in their lives for them. It may be thrilling to be reunited with loved ones and the rest of the free world. To expect that the reintegration process into society would be painless, on the other hand, would be a mistake. Former criminals face several difficulties as they strive to rebuild their life. This is particularly true for those who have served a long prison sentence and are on parole. Since the construction of the first jail in the 1770s, the challenges of prisoner re-entry into society have been a long-standing source of concern in the community. Throughout the twentieth century, however, the issue of discrimination against ex-offenders gained momentum in the public discourse. To address this issue, the United States government has developed a variety of interventions that take place after an
  • 7. arrest to divert offenders away from the criminal justice system and onto a more appropriate measure, such as restorative justice or appropriate therapy, if necessary. After incarcerating criminals, community-based sanctions are used to assist ex- criminals in reintegrating into society rather than subjecting them to imprisonment's marginalizing and harmful effects. Individuals who have been sentenced to prison may use correctional programs in jail and aftercare services following their release. These programs are designed to assist jailed individuals in their efforts to reintegrate into society and lead law-abiding lives. In recent years, more emphasis has been placed on developing comprehensive interventions to provide frequent assistance to offenders both inside and outside of prison. How have the populations affected by the social problem changed over time? Ex-offenders who have challenges integrating back into society often find themselves reoffending. Since the 1980s, this issue has been more frequent, especially among male ex-offenders. According to the National Institute of Justice, over 43 percent of people recently released return to prison within a year of their release date. The majority of the 500,000 offenders freed in 35 states in 2020 were caught for a new crime within three years of their parole, followed by 78 percent within six years and 82 percent within nine years (Oliveira & Graca, 2021). An extensive number of other factors have a role in recidivism, including the individual's circumstances before imprisonment, events during their incarceration, and the period after their release from prison. Because it is difficult for them to reintegrate into 'regular' society, one of the biggest reasons they wind up back in jail is because they cannot find work. Many offenders fear their upcoming release because they believe that their lives will be different "this time," which does not always materialize. How might this social problem be incongruent with social work
  • 8. values/ethics? Re-entry into society after a traumatic event, rehabilitation, or jail may be challenging for the individual and their family members to navigate. Most of the time, there are several hurdles in the path of these individuals being mentally healthy, physically clean, and law-abiding citizens. So many social workers are trained to help persons who are reentering society, as well as their relatives and friends who are trying to aid them. Social workers play a critical role in re-entry programs in the United States and throughout the globe, particularly in prisons. Social workers' responsibilities include, among other things, ensuring the well-being of vulnerable ex-offenders and providing support for their families (Nixon, 2020). Many social worker degrees are offered with various specialties, including jail social work at certain institutions. The goal of these programs is to address the unique difficulties that people who are jailed experience while also making certain that these persons are treated with dignity and worth in the same manner that everyone else is. Individual counseling, treatment assessments for appropriate programs, and group programs are all carried out by social workers to strengthen and support ex- offenders who have been released from prison. · Describe the next steps for how you will identify a policy. The stages of establishing a policy included identifying the problem, creating evaluation criteria, producing alternative policies, analyzing other policies, and finally picking one chosen policy. The chosen policy is PUBLIC LAW 110–199— APRIL 9, 2008. This policy aims to break criminal recidivism to promote public safety (Davis, 2018). One strength of this policy is that it helps rehabilitate ties between offenders and their families after being released. The limitation of this policy to solving the identified social issue is that it does not encourage the development and promotion of evidence-based measures that increase public safety and reduce recidivism. It is necessary to revise this policy, particularly how ex-offenders are prepared to
  • 9. reintegrate into society. To provide continuous assistance to criminals both inside and outside of prison, greater emphasis should be placed on developing complete therapies that are based on a continuity of care. Before being released from prison, offenders should begin preparing for reintegration into society. Interventions should be designed to enable their speedy transfer from prison to community, reinforce the changes achieved during in-prison treatment, and continue until they have successfully reintegrated into their communities.

They are also often faced with power structures that are entrenched and difficult to navigate. Skillful policy practitioners recognize the many kinds of power resources that exist, thus expanding their options in specific situations. As a social worker, you will learn various strategies that can create and expand personal networks that might be useful in negotiating your policy practice within an agency. You want your power resources to be recognized as effective ways to get things done, not as tools for coercion and force. For this Discussion, you will identify power resources (including person-to-person, substantive, process, and procedural) that you can use to influence decision makers and secure the adoption of a policy proposal.

You will use this article to help explain your selection. By Day 3 Post a brief description of why it is important for social workers to be familiar with power dynamics when working with decision makers. In your description, address the following: · Identify the power resource you selected for use in your practice and advocacy. · Explain the resource you selected. · How does this power resource work to influence decision makers? · Why is this power resource more appropriate for your approach to practice and advocacy than others? · Describe the ethical issues or concerns in using the type of power resource you selected.
