CRJ 522 Week 1 DQ 1 Fact And Fantasy of Psychological
Profiling Psychological Profiling
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
Fact and Fantasy of Psychological Profiling Psychological profiling is
not a new concept. It has been practiced for centuries and has been the
foundation of popular fiction from Sherlock Holmes to Clarice Starling.
The Snook, Cullen, Bennell, Taylor, &Gendreau (2008) and Kocsis
(2003) articles outline many of the preconceptions and misperceptions
2. surrounding the field of forensic psychology as it is used in
contemporary law enforcement. Television programs such as Law and
Order, NCIS, Criminal Minds and the Mentalist have made
psychological profiling a popular pastime. While the line between fact
and fiction can often be thin and tenuous, the impacts that fiction and/or
misinformation can have on reality can be enormous. What impact has
there been, if any, on the public’s perceptions and beliefs about
criminal behavior and the impact on law enforcement investigations,
prosecution and trials due to the use of psychological profiling? Are
these impacts positive or negative? Provide an example from your
review of a scholarly journal to support your discussion. Guided
Response: Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length.
Support your observations with examples from the required materials
and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
Respond to at least two or your colleagues’ posts by Day 7. Be sure
to include the impact of psychological profiling on how people view
offenders, investigators and/or trial proceedings, and whether you agree
with your peer’s views – and why or why not. Continue to monitor the
discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7, and
respond with robust dialogue to anyone who replies to your initial post.

CRJ 522 Week 2 Assignment Criminological Theory
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
Criminological theory has undergone many changes over the years.
From the relatively simplistic theories pertaining to physical appearance
to the modern day psychopathy and biosocial conceptualizations,
criminological theory has matured considerably over time. After
completing reading Chapters 2, 8, and 9 of the Bartol&Bartol text, you
will summarize a well–known criminal case including a description of
the offense(s), the investigation of the crime, and the outcome. It is
important in any investigation or analysis of criminal behavior to
evaluate both endogenous and exogenous theories of criminal behavior
and analyze how our biases and assumptions influence our assessment of
individuals and the role of psychological profiling in law enforcement. It
4. is also important to determine culturally–based behavior patterns that
may be specific to certain segments of the population. Preliminary
sources of this type of information may come from reliable media
sources in their coverage of scholarly works as well as government
publications of research findings. These may direct you to more focused
resources for scholarly references.
In your paper
Identify and analyze the behavior of the offender(s) relative to the
psychological history and evaluation of the offender(s).
Describe the psychological, behavioral, environmental, and cognitive
factors that you believe led to the offender’s criminality. The goal is to
provide an analysis of the psychological history of the offender as it
pertains to the offense(s).
Summarize the psychological history of the offender as it pertains to the
offense(s). Be sure to include as much information as possible regarding
the offender’s childhood, adolescence as well as adulthood (if
applicable) .
Provide examples of behavior that reflect psychological influences.
Discuss the nature of any mental health referrals or treatment that
occurred and the outcome.
5. Identify psychological issues that were present, as demonstrated through
statements and/or behavior of
the offender, but not identified or treated.
The Case Summary and Offender Profile
Must be three to four double-spaced pages in length (not including title
and reference pages) and
formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing
Center.

CRJ 522 Week 2 DQ 1 Drugs, Alcohol, and Sexual Assault
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
Drugs, Alcohol, and Sexual Assault Chapter 9 in the textbook addresses
the issue of sexual assault. Reported incidents of sexual assault on
college campuses, including military academies, continue to rise.
Reported incidents of “daterape― and gang rape at parties and
7. other social gatherings are also increasing. Unlike the laws concerning
stalking that were discussed in this week’s reading, laws about
sexual assault are clear, direct, and unambiguous. Yet, many offenders
(and witnesses to sexual violence) have stated they did not interpret their
actions, or those of the actual perpetrator(s), as sexual assault. What type
and degree of social influence may be impacting this reported lack of
understanding and awareness of sexual assault as a crime? What steps
would you recommend, or endorse if they are already in place, as
necessary to address this situation? Include information from your
review of a relevant scholarly journal. Guided Response: Your initial
post should be at least 300 words in length. Support your observations
with examples from the required materials and/or other scholarly
resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two or
your colleagues’ posts by Day 7. Be sure to include how individual
as well as social biases and/or assumptions influence one’s
assessments of themselves and others, and whether you agree with your
peer’s views – and why or why not. Continue to monitor the
discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7, and
respond with robust dialogue to anyone who replies to your initial post.

There is a documented psychology to criminal investigators and
investigations. It is important to analyze how our biases and assumptions
influence our assessment of individuals and to analyze and understand
psychological profiling in law enforcement. This provides a platform to
determine cultural-based behavior patterns that may be specific to
certain segments of the population. It is also important to understand the
impact of these events and the psychological ramifications for victims
and for investigators.
After completing this week's required reading, you will

Monocultural Psychology
According to statistics, by the year 2050, 50% of the U.S. population is
expected to consist of ethnic minorities. As the United States continues
to move toward an increasingly pluralistic society, cultural nuances and
differentiation must be acknowledged in the application and practice of
forensic psychology. In Chapter 10 of the Bartol&Bartol (2015) text, the
issues pertaining to multiculturalism are discussed.
15. As you examine the many issues pertinent to a pluralistic society,
answer the following questions in your post:
Why would an approach based on monocultural psychology be
considered limiting when attempting to
deal with a more diverse population?
What obstacles could be in existence that could potentially prevent or
discourage an immigrant from
seeking assistance from social services or mental health facilities?

Intimate Partner Violence
16. In Chapter 11 of Bartol&Bartol (2015), the topic of forensic assessment
of family and intimate partner violence is discussed. As those within
forensic psychology embark upon the treatment of intimate partner
violence (IPV) there are many salient points upon which to focus. No
longer is it deemed suitable within professional circles to treat only the
perpetrator of family violence. The common approach in contemporary
forensic psychology is a much more holistic method.
In this post
Address the utility of a multimodal approach to the treatment of family
and intimate partner violence.
Answer the question of what is meant by a multimodal approach to
treatment.
In addition, answer the query of how an open–ended interview might be
the best technique for use in the
treatment of IPV.

Correctional Settings
For more course tutorials visit

This week’s reading assignments include chapters relating to the
provision of psychological treatments in correctional settings. Chapter
12 discusses the findings of Boothby & Clements (2000) survey of
psychologists working in state and federal correctional facilities across
the U.S. Increasingly, the prison populations reflect a high number of
inmates suffering from identified mental illnesses. This presents issues
for corrections personnel who are responsible for the safety of prisoners
as well as the safety of staff. The goals of the correctional psychological
service providers may not be consistent with the overall goals of the
institution. The mental health status of offenders impacts staffing
considerations, both in number and in skills, of incarceration facilities.
Large populations of inmates with mental health issues can impact the
stress levels of staff, which can influence their job performance as well
as their interpersonal relationships.
Address the following points in your paper
18. Discuss the impacts of the psychological make–up of offenders has on
the functional responsibilities of incarceration facilities.
Discuss how the biases and assumptions of correctional service
providers influence their assessment of and interaction with these
offenders.
Explain your findings within the continuing context of the endogenous
and exogenous theories of criminal behavior and the analysis of how our
biases and assumptions influence our assessments of individuals.
Correlate your findings to the cultural-based behavior patterns specific
to segments of the population with an evaluation of the potential impact
and intervention strategies utilized to reduce the impact of stress on law
enforcement personnel.

Offenders

The Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Offenders.
As discussed in Chapter 12 in the Bartol&Bartol (2015) text, in most
circumstances, rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders is the goal of
the criminal justice system as evidenced by the number of offenders
ultimately being released back into society. This includes concerns for
public safety, the behavior and performance of the offender as a
functioning member of society, and the likelihood of recidivating. While
some offenses, and therefore offenders, are deemed inappropriate for
release (i.e. those sentenced to life without the possibility of parole or
the death penalty), most offenders will have an ultimate release date
included in their sentence. This poses challenges in how to address these
offenders within the construct of their ultimately being released. Chapter
12 in Bartol&Bartol analyzes clinical practices in corrections environs.

Therapy for Antisocial Juveniles
Research continues to substantiate the increase of positive outcomes
when psychological issues are identified early (in childhood or
adolescence) and interventions are instituted at that time rather than
when an individual has researched adulthood. Chapter 13 in
Bartol&Bartol (2015) discusses the concept of multisystemic therapy for
antisocial juveniles. Recognizing that some mental disorders cannot be
properly identified until early adulthood, there are many, including
parents, who suggest this is inappropriate and an unreasonable intrusion
into parents’ rights and responsibilities in raising their children.

CRJ 522 Week 6 Final Research Paper Case Study Analysis and
Findings
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
The final assignment for this course is a Case Study Analysis and
Findings. The purpose of the Case Study Analysis and Findings is for
you to utilize the knowledge and skills developed in this course to
evaluate the psychological methods and theoretical models of criminal
behavior as well as the police psychology and the psychological aspects
of all participants in the criminal justice process relative to a specific
criminal episode. An overview of forensic psychology as it relates to the
criminal justice process should be included.
23. This course has addressed issues of psychological theory and practice
relative to the functioning of the criminal justice system. These impacts
range from the offender, to law enforcement and investigations, to
practices and legalities of law in the courtroom, to the participation and
impact of victims and witnesses, and to treatment and sentencing
rendered in the correctional environment. Research continues regarding
the biological, genetic, psychological, and social impacts on mental
health and resulting behavior. These findings will continue to find their
way into the legal implications of the psychological influences on
behavior.
The focus of your Case Study Analysis and Findings paper will be
based, in large part, on the weekly assignments you completed
throughout the course. In each of the weekly assignments, you address a
particular aspect of the overall criminal case and offender that you
selected in Week One.
In the Week One Literature Review assignment, you provide the
resources necessary for each phase of your final analysis and findings.
In the Week Two Case Summary and Offender Profile assignment, you
provide an analysis of the behavior of the offender relative to the
psychological history and evaluation of the offender.
In the Week Three Investigative Psychology assignment, you provide an
analysis of the behavior of the investigators including the analysis of the
24. crime scene. This assignment also describes the psychological,
behavioral, environmental, and cognitive factors that influence the
investigation, including intervention strategies to reduce the impact of
stress on law enforcement.
In the Week Four Legal Psychology and Victimization assignment, you
provide a discussion on the role of the psychological profile of the
offender and the victims have on the presentation of evidence in court,
including the analysis of legal psychology as it is implemented in the
criminal justice process.
Finally, in the Week Five Psychological Treatment in Correctional
Settings assignment, you provide a discussion on the impacts the
psychological make–up of offenders have on the functional
responsibilities of incarceration facilities and how the biases and
assumptions of correctional service providers influence their assessment
of and interaction with these offenders.
Utilizing your research and analyses completed for the Weeks One
through Five assignments, consider the psychological methods and
theoretical models of criminal behavior as well as the police psychology
and the psychological aspects of all participants in the criminal justice
process relative to the specific criminal episode selected in Week One.
Present your findings within the continuing context of the endogenous
and exogenous theories of criminal behavior and the analysis of how our
biases and assumptions influence our assessments of individuals.
Correlate these to the cultural-based behavior patterns that may be
specific to certain segments of the population with an evaluation of the
25. potential impact and intervention strategies that may be utilized to
reduce the impact of stress on law enforcement personnel.
In your Final Research Paper
Evaluate the theory of criminal behavior related to the selected case.
Analyze the biases and assumptions that influenced participants in the
case process.
