Criminological Theory 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 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. 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) .

Journal of Criminal Justice Education, 21(4), 391-411. doi:10.1080/10511253.2010.516557 This article forms the basis of the discussion by explaining the correlation between quantitative research and criminology whereby the relationship favor’s the criminology concept and process since it is inquisitive by nature. The main variables that are used to support the hypothesis are the number of dissertations presented with a different style of research applied to them. The qualitative research forms the largest contribution to the research process by collecting a variety of related information across the research topic. The two main modes of measurement being tested are the qualitative and quantitative methods which are usually the two major measurement scales used in research. The notion is supported by this mode of research because different disciplines normally apply different approaches to quantitative inquiry. Gergen, K. J. (2014). Pursuing excellence in qualitative inquiry. Qualitative Psychology, 1(1), 49-60. doi:10.1037/qup0000002. The author of this article looks into the various orientations that influence the qualitative inquiries’ success rate by reviewing the history of the criteria that was mainly used in measuring the success rate of a certain qualitative inquiry approach. He then discusses how the traditional criteria have been widely used to evaluate the modern qualitative approaches which he looks at from different types of qualitative approach methods. From the analysis of the various contemporary orientations which lead to the development of various types of inquiries, he is able to consider five proposed mode of qualitative inquiries which include ethnography, narrative, phenomenological, grounded theory and also case study. This provision sets the basis for the discussion of the various types of inquiries which is then compared to the analysis of their effective use and impact within the criminal justice systems for example in the article below from the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) which looks into the most common types of approaches to qualitative inquiries.

A qualitative inquiry makes it possible for a researcher to understand criminals as well as those charged with the responsibility of ensuring that justice prevails. Qualitative inquiries are ideal for studying criminal justice because they are scientific methods of observation that are used to collect non-numerical data. There are numerous qualitative inquiry methods; however, there are four that are ideal for the study of the criminal justice field. The four methods are ethnography, narrative, phenomenological, and case study. Ethnography Ethnography is the most common qualitative research method. The method involves researchers immersing themselves in the target participant’s environment. The main focus of ethnography is for a researcher to understand the challenges, culture, goals, and themes that emerge in a participant’s environment. In the case of criminal justice, researchers get to understand the factors that make crime possible as well as the factors that make administering justice difficult. Rios, V. M., Carney, N., & Kelekay, J. (2017). Ethnographies of race, crime, and justice: Toward a sociological double-consciousness. Annual Review of Sociology, 43, 493-513. The publication looks at how the ethnography qualitative research method is useful at revealing, explaining as well as offering solutions for issues that revolve around justice, crime, and race. According to the article, ethnography helps to shed light on the day to day contexts in which law, crimes, and punishment are produced. The article details how effective the ethnography method is useful in crime, justice and law enforcement. The article is appropriate as it captures how ethnography works. It as well details the pros and cons of the qualitative inquiry method. The article is appropriate considering its less than three years old and that it touches on the subject that its of concern. Doll, A., & Walby, K. (2019). Institutional ethnography as a method of inquiry for criminal justice and socio-legal studies. International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy, 8(1), 147. The article focuses on the use of institutional ethnography to help understand activities and the organization of criminal justice. According to the article, the inquiry method was invented by Dorothy Smith, a Canadian sociologist. The article focuses on the analysis of texts and the mapping of textual work in legal and criminal justice organizations. The article reveals how people are governed and ruled by proc.

Case Study Analysis and Findings 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. 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 1. In the Week 1 Literature Review assignment, you provide the resources necessary for each phase of your final analysis and findings. In the Week 2 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.

Running Head: PAPER CRITIQUE 1 PAPER CRITIQUE 5 Paper Critique Student’s Name: Course Title: Course Number: Professor’s Name: Date: Paper Critique General Considerations The article on “Drinking Patterns and Dating Violence among College Students” is well written with simple language without spelling and grammatical errors. Due to this, the paper is generally easy to read, understand, and comprehend. The authors did a great job in organizing the article such that presentation of an idea leads to another. However, the authors were not prudent in identifying the introduction and literature review chapters. For articles like this, which involve a systematic approach towards obtaining results, it is important to present the work in chapters like introduction, literature review, methodology, data collection and analysis, as well as conclusion and recommendations for future research. Although the article captures most of these topics, the authors could have specifically presented the topics to help readers identify what to expect in a particular topic. The introduction, background of research, and literature review chapters are not clearly identified, and this presents a challenge to the readers regarding the presentation of the paper leading to methodology section. Title The title of the article “Drinking Patterns and Dating Violence among College Students” is appropriate and consistent with what the research seeks to achieve. From the review of the article, it is evident that the authors seek to establish how the drinking patters influence aggressive behavior and dating violence among college students. Based on this, I think the objective of the authors is to establish whether there is a relationship that exists between drinking patterns and dating violence. For this reason, the topic would have been more accurate, clear, and succinct if it was changed to “The Relationship between Drinking Patterns and Dating Violence among College Students”. The topic would have also been appropriate if it were changed to “The Impact of Drinking Patterns on Dating Violence among College Students”. This is because the authors sought to identify how drinking patterns affected aggressive behavior and violence between partners in college. Abstract From the way the abstract is presented, readers are able to get an idea of what the research is all about, which is the objective of the abstract. It is written in a clear language and briefly discusses the objective of the study. The abstract points out that use of alcohol and dating violence as issues that are highly experienced among college students. From this statement, the readers expect to understand the state of affairs on the two variables based on existing research. This is clearly discussed and evident in the literature review of the paper. The abstract also states the study of objective, which involves the examination of the relationship between alcohol use and self-reported antecedents and con.

For my final project I am choosing the environmental influences on personality particularly about childhood experiences and their effect on an individual’s personalities. I am contrasting childhood experiences that are caused by their environment to the effect on their personality, I will use the correlation research method. A questionnaire will be used in order to obtain the information I would need. This method would admit me to have a larger sample base, have a better image of the relationship, and numerous variables providing for better research circumstances down the road. The disadvantage to this technique would be, I would not have a personal relationship from those apart of the study and this could cause a lack of dishonesty. Second, establishing a questionnaire that was both dependable and accurate could be an issue. Lastly, I would only get a view at what those in the group went through. Ethically, I would run into a problem of confidentiality and making sure all of the questionnaires were kept secret and those taking them were offered secrecy. Anyone who take part in the activity would be able to eliminate themselves from the research if they wanted to and if they left the documents it would be destroyed. I would maintain their best interest and would be real and honest with them regarding what the study is being used for and why it was being done. Still, because there isn’t a personal relationship but just general on this could be difficult to prove and cause doubt and that could be an ethical crisis.

Criminal/Psychological Profiling Diane Miller Abstract Criminal profiling is not a new concept as variations of it have been used for many years in an effort to understand offenders and facilitate crime solving. As the field of Forensic Nursing grows, the Forensic Nurse plays an important role as a member of the criminal profiling team especially as a Forensic Nurse Examiner. This study will examine the criminal profiling process, the steps leading to the apprehension of the offender and explore the benefits law enforcement agencies can reap by including a Forensic Nurse as a member of their team. Statement of Criminal/Psychological Profiling Although criminal profiling had been used for many years it became a more refined process in the 1970’s when the FBI began conducting research in an effort to provide a better understanding of serial murderers and rapists. The groundwork for this profiling was laid by the FBI’s criminal research project. The FBI’s National Center for the Analysis of Violent crimes assists local, state and federal agencies by providing criminal profiles. Profiling uses deduction to paint a picture of the offender but does not identify him. It does this by focusing on certain behavioral and personality characteristics. Literature Review of Criminal/Psychological Profiling The literature review indicates criminal profiling began informally in the 1940’s, but caught the interest of the FBI after the a profile of the “Mad Bomber” done by a New York psychiatrist, Dr. James Brussel, in the 1950’s proved to be amazingly accurate. In the 1970’s the FBI developed a more refined process in utilizing criminal profiling as an investigative tool. That process continues today at the FBI’s National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime and is instrumental in solving heinous and violent crimes that otherwise could not be solved. The literature review supports the value and importance of criminal profiling today and the role it plays in attaining justice for the victims of violent crime and their families. The principles related to criminal profiling outlined in the literature demonstrate the importance of interpreting crime scene behavior in order to narrow the field of suspects for a particular crime and the accuracy it provides. Criminal/Psychological Profiling Core Forensic Nursing Principles Related to Criminal Profiling Core Principles Related to Criminal Profiling The scientific and social phenomenon of death represents the two primary aspects of death investigation on which the practice and philosophy of forensic nursing science is founded. Experience in forensic nursing and guidelines in death investigation help provide the ways of knowing and critical thinking that determine the basis on which acute case management of questioned deaths can be provided.

Provide a reference for the article in APA format. Mueller, D. R., Schmidt, S. J., & Roder, V. (2013). Integrated psychological therapy: effectiveness in schizophrenia inpatient settings related to patients' age. The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 21(3), 231-241. 2. What is the purpose of the article? The article investigated whether the Integrated Philological therapy is more effective in younger patients of ages 40 and above. The authors then compared the effectiveness of IPT of young patients with that of average years of 40 and above. The study also investigated whether treatment as usual or unspecified group activities produce different outcomes. 3. What is the hypothesis of the study? In other words, what claims do the authors make in the article? What are the outcomes of the study, that is, the conclusions that the authors made as a result of the study? There are no differences in the effectiveness of Integrated Psychological therapy between a group of younger patients (age 40 and below) and that of the average years (ages 40 and above). The study also hypothesized that there no differences in the treatment outcome of the group of younger patients (age 40). The study also assessed there were differences in the treatment outcome of the group of older patients (age 40 and above) treated using specified and unspecified treatment. 4. What variables (factors) are being looking at as an influence on abnormal behavior? The study investigated the influences of age (variable) and the use of Integrated Psychological Treatment on the treatment of schizophrenia. Another variable was the treatment options (Unspecified and Specified treatment). Other variables include the global cognitive scores, social cognition, psychopathology and social functioning. 5. If these variables or the relationship between these variables have been studied before, what have other studies found? This shows historical significance. Past studies have shown the effect of age on Schizophrenia. Older people suffering from Schizophrenia often suffer from cognitive impairment compared to younger patients. There are fewer therapy approaches to middle and averagely mentally ill patients. 6. Describe the research design (e.g., descriptive, correlateional, experimental) that was used in the study. Standard meta-analytical procedures. The study compared category of two age groups. Had a total of 15 IPT controlled studies with 632 schizophrenic patients. 7.

Doctoral Student UNIT 1 – Discussion 2 U1D2 – Qualitative Research JULY 17, 2017 Introduction According to Leedy & Ormrod (2012), qualitative research incorporates looking at qualities or characteristics that are unlikely to be condensed to numerical values. Ideally, a qualitative research intends to survey multiple complexities and nuances of a specific phenomenon. Therefore, the qualitative research is mostly observed in research that involves complicated human circumstances or complicated human creations. On the other hand, quantitative research aims to establish the quantities or amounts of either one or multiple variables desired. The rationale of the study is to describe qualitative research, its key concepts, and the meaning of scientific merits. Analysis of Qualitive Research The qualitative research was majorly used in the Experimental Methods in Political Science. However, the quantitative research was also incorporated in the study. According to McDermott (2002), most political scientists prefer quantitative analysis. The data was gathered in qualitative forms but coded in quantitative analysis appropriate for further related analysis. For example, the behavioral measures required an experiment to establish the behavior of subjects such as videotapes. The videotapes are later examined for characteristics including the facial expressions and dominance in the group. Besides, the physiological measures incorporate data such as blood pressure, galvanic skin responses, and the heart rate. The Purposive Sampling in Qualitative Research Synthesis just like the title suggests, it is entirely a qualitative form of research. Suri (2011) reveals that an improved number of researches especially from the healthcare and education sector have recognized the benefit of using the qualitative research. Notably, the majority of the growing research appears to be dominated by quantitative research. The study on Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research has used the quantitative techniques to scrutinize the research protocols (Human Research Protections, 2016). The essence of using the quantitative research is based on the availability to scrutinize the research protocols. Key Concepts The key concept investigated in the Experimental Methods in Political Science is the review of the used experiments particularly in political science. Ideally, the first section provides a general synopsis of the experimental measures and designs alongside the threats to external and internal validity (McDermott, 2002). The study has also included the costs and benefits of using the experimentation. The study focuses on the experiments done in diverse fields such as political economy, individual choice literature, and behavioral economics. The study includes several forms of experimentation such as simulation studies, field experiments, and field studies. The key concept in Purposeful Sampling in Qualitative Re.

Due Thursday Feb 18, 2016 by Noon Instructions: The critical evaluation essay – Be sure to submit a final draft in MLA format on word. This paper should be at least 700 words, but no more than 850. Also, take great care not to plagiarize. Mark Twain “The Story of the Bad Little Boy” Write a critical analysis of Mark Twain’s “The Story of the Bad Little Boy” approaches can be quite straightforward. Psychological, gender, sociological, biographical, and historical are all approaches that many use naturally in viewing a work. However, if your interest lies elsewhere, feel free to choose another approach. This essay will need a debatable thesis. A thesis is not a fact, a quote, or a question. It is your position on the topic. The reader already knows the story; you are to offer him a new perspective based on your observations. Since the reader is familiar with the story, summary is unnecessary. Rather than tell him what happened, tell him what specific portions of the story support your thesis. Link to “The Story of the Bad Little Boy” http://www.washburn.edu/sobu/broach/badboy.html This paper should be at least 700 words, but no more than 850. The paper should be formatted correctly MLA style and written in third person (do not use the words I, me, us, we, or you). The essay should also contain citations and a works cited list based on your selected essay in the assigned readings. Formulate the structured response from your own close reading of the text. DISCLAIMER: Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Key Terms This document lists and defines some of the 28 most important concepts that all psychology students and psychologists should know and understand well. Many of these concepts will appear again and again in your future classes and work in psychology. You will go deeper into many of them as you explore the world of Psychology. CONCEPTS Definition 1. ABC Behavior therapists conduct a thorough functional assessment (or behavioral analysis) to identify the maintaining conditions by systematically gathering information about situational antecedents (A), the dimensions of the problem behavior (B), and the consequences (C) of the problem. This is known as the ABC model, and the goal of a functional assessment of a client's behavior is to understand the ABC sequence. This model of behavior suggests that behavior (B) is influenced by some particular events that precede it, called antecedents (A), and by certain events that follow it, called consequences (C). Antecedent events cue or elicit a certain behavior. For example, with a client who has trouble going to sleep, listening to a relaxation tape may serve as a cue for sleep induction. Turning off the lights and removing the television from the bedroom may elicit sleep behaviors as well. Con- sequences are events that maintain a behavior in some way, either by increasing or decreasing it. For example, a client may be more likely to return to counselin ...

Primary Discussion Response is due by Friday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Tuesday (11:59:59pm Central). Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. In 1944, finance specialists and bankers from around the world met to discuss what the post-WWII monetary system would be. Given the instability of the pre-war period, the goal was to create a new system. The outcome of this was the Bretton Woods system, which had the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency linked to gold at $35 an ounce. All other currencies were tied to the dollar with limits on how much they could appreciate or depreciate. The system lasted until the 1970s, when the United States decided to move away from gold convertibility. The modern system is based on supply and demand for currency and a managed float. Discuss the following in your main post: The U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency. Is this good for the United States, and if so, why? People usually think a "strong" dollar is good. Is this true for U.S. businesses, and does it help or hurt the U.S. balance of payments? Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 100-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening.

Previous Next Adjust automatic marking as read setting Webster dictionary gave a number of definitions of ‘Ritual’: “a system of rites, a Ceremonial act or action, a customarily repeated often formal act or series of acts”. In our everyday dealings there are different forms of actions taken that are repetitive but cannot be classified as symbolic eg, bathing, sleeping, and eating. However, if we kneel, and say a particular word of prayer and make the sign of the cross before doing any one of the above routinely, then that can be considered a ritual because it can be decoded as symbolic to the Catholic religion, and to other observers as a way of devotion. There are some symbolic rituals associated with health practiced by various cultures. In the Catholic Church the sprinkling of Holy water by the priest and burning of incense during Eucharistic prayers is believed to ward off evil spirit, and promote good health and everything progressive for the congregation. The vestment of the priest, the setup of the altar and the arrangement of the pews are symbols of a place of worship. The prayers said at every mass are rituals and members believe attending mass keeps them in good health, and good standing in life. So it is with other religious practices. As stated by Wintz, S., and Cooper, E. (2009), Islamic religious beliefs are based on five principles: “shahadatain (declaration of faith), Salat (prayer/worship), zakat (charitable contribution), sawn (fasting), hajj (pilgrimage to mecca)”, are all the five principles that require some degree of rituals to perform them. In health matters, doctors are seen as helpers of God’s will, so they are not restricted in the course of treatment, (p.21-22). As a child I remember my maternal grandmother had a large clay pot with water in it at a corner of her living room; decorated with white/red colored cloths, and figurines like a shrine, where every morning as traditional worshipper, she said her prayers. We were never allowed to play close to the area. But the water from the pot which she drank she gave us to drink too when we visited. She believed it promoted good health and good luck in life. I cannot say for sure if those deeds worked, but she lived to be 103years before she died in 1978. In the hospitals as described by Helman, C., (2007), the white coat worn by the doctors and other health professionals are symbolic, and the stethoscope used for checking blood pressure and other vitals are the rituals, performed to diagnose illness or certify clean bill of health. So many instruments, computers, hi-technology machines, the arrangement of the doctor’s consulting room, are all symbolic rituals associated to health and illness (p.227). For a patient who is certified ill; all these could symbolize healing, or may signify death, especially for the elderly. The process of getting admitted as illustrated by (Helman), is how a sick person goes through some rituals, such as being stripped of their social statu.

Presentation Title: The Behavior Impact of DUI Laws and Sanctions Research Focus: Deterrence and Social Control Theories Abstract: Determining whether legal sanctions administered by the judicial court system or by local law enforcements are effectively designed to reduce, discourage and/or deter people from driving while impaired. There are various studies that provide conflicting arguments on whether driving laws have been a successful strategy in deterring drinking and driving behavior. Deterrence theories are based on the assumption that the perception and probability of certain severe punishment discourages people from illegal activities. Deterrence theory assumes that law breaking is inversely related to the severity of punishment. Further, it is the deterrence model ideology that law enforcement entities depend on to reduce DUI/DWI’s. The social control theory expands on the deterrence model to incorporate social influences. According to this theory drinking laws are only one of many factors that influence DUI behavior. Social stigma and perceived risk in committing the crime also play a part in discouraging this type of behavior. Although there has been little research conducted examining both deterrence and social control theories and the impact on DUI behavior proponents for these theories believe that innate makeup of these two ideologies are effective enough to modify a person’s .
