Introduction The law enforcement and criminal justice system of the United States embraces community corrections. It is because it helps incarcerated individu-
als get back to the community. The main objective of creating these community corrections is to act as an alternative to imprisonment to those individuals that are in
jail but has shown positive behaviors and have reformed. As this approach occurs mainly outside the prison setting, the authorities enforce strict measures that
restrict the ex-convicts from reoffending and oversee the correctional process. More so, the departments of probation, do supervisions and follow-ups to address the
need of the undergoing community program. Usually, court systems make decisions and also enforces sanctions on the report written by parole officers on if the of-
fenders should be allowed to return to the community. An offender will have completed the process successfully if they show signs of mental stability and
changes in behaviors. This paper will review and analyze the case of Robert, who was incarcerated for drug abuse and armed robbery, describing why commu-
nity correctional assessment is important for him. Additionally, we will determine the needs of this person and describe the evidence-based practices that will enable
him to re-enter society. “Analyzing the case of Robert” Robert was convicted of drug abuse and armed robbery, and he is about to complete his term in jail.
He is twenty-five years old, and he has a criminal history and various past arrests associated with drug possession and robbery. For him being arrested four times and
incarcerated five times, it is hard to know if he would get back into society successfully as a fully r ...

Issue Statement
When people are released from prison, they face an environment that is difficult to navigate, designed to keep them from becoming useful members of their communities. Most ex-offenders are arrested again within three years of their release, with a majority of 77 percent of instances occurring within five years. As the nation's prison population approaches 2 million inmates, recidivism is becoming an issue for both convicts' families and society (Bhandari, 2019). This explains why social reintegration is one of the biggest social problems in the United States. 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. It is vital to have a thorough grasp of the science of offender reintegration since efficient reintegration of offenders is crucial to crime reduction.
The need for change
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, due to the dynamic and the always-changing environment, ex-offenders who have spent considerable time in prison are liberated into an environment vastly different from their prior surroundings. This is a serious impediment to criminals' reintegration back into society. Furthermore, re-entry into the workforce is a significant challenge to overcome for persons who have served time in jail. Previously imprisoned individuals have difficulties getting and maintaining employment after being released from prison due to employers' apprehension about hiring people with criminal histories (Weber, 2021). Many offenders have no formal education or work experience, making it strenuous to obtain gainful employment. According to studies, about 60% of criminals and ex-offenders are high school dropouts.
In the aftermath of their imprisonment and engagement with the criminal justice system, many ex-inmates are perceived unproductive and risky by former employers and members of their old professional networks, assuming they ever had one. When ex-convicts combine a restricted professional network with a glaring gap in their resume, it may be very difficult for them to get an interview with a potential employer. An estimated 70 percent of previously jailed males have a history of drug misuse, and a large number of them suffer from physical and mental health problems (Petrich et al., 2022). As a result, employers may not consider them "work-ready," so restricting their employability. The prospect of being sued for damages resulting from "negligent hiring" is a source of anxiety for many firms. Given the possibility that a firm could be held responsible for exposing the employees to a potentially harmful individual, many companies are wary of hiring someone who has a criminal ...

ndividual Factors:
•Mental health or addiction issues: Underlying mental health problems
or substance abuse can contribute to criminal behavior. With
treatment, these issues can make it difficult to develop impulse control
or make positive life choices.
•Lack of opportunity: Limited access to education, employment, or
social support can make it hard to find legitimate ways to make a living,
pushing some back to crime.
•Socialization and environment: Growing up in a high-crime
environment or associating with criminals can normalize criminal

Introduction:
Rehabilitation of the incarcerated people and providing them with a safe future is the responsibility of the state. When an individual commits a crime and becomes an offender, it does not absolve the state from its responsibility to ensure the basic human rights of the individual. Rather it becomes more of a responsibility for the state to ensure the well-being of such an individual. Criminal psychology shows that criminal deviation is the result of two factors which are biological and genetic layout and social factors. No one can be held responsible for the biological factors or genetic makeup because it is not under anyone’s control. Secondly, the social factors are generally exposure to aggression in childhood, dysfunctional families, negative social impact form violent environment and poverty etc. These factors are mostly originated from society and not result from one's individual efforts. Even with the presence of these factors, no one is denying the fact that the responsibility of one's actions lies on one's shoulder but at the same time, it does not free the state from its responsibility towards the well-being of an offender. The rehabilitation process ought to be for correction, not punishment but unfortunately, the reentry programs after one has served their due time in a rehabilitation centre is not very smooth and it does not motivate the individual to make better choices this time. It is because of standards rehabilitation and reentry system which does not suit the individual needs of every individual. The system needs to be more customized. Furthermore, the frameworks involved in probation and post-incarceration process need improvement. This essay will explore the current condition and process of reentry and rehabilitation of an individual in society and how this system needs reassessment and continuous monitoring (Thompkins, Curtis, & Wendel, 2010).
Review of Previous Research:
Many researchers have explored the field of rehabilitation and reentry in the society. The field of criminal offences, factors which contribute towards these offences, mindsets of the offenders and their backgrounds, rehabilitation process and the reentry constitute a diverse field on which a lot of work has been done by psychologist and criminologist to not only understand what enables the criminal activities to happen at first place and how they can be reduced if not eradicated through the better rehabilitation process. Through important outcomes include:
1. Religion can play an important part in the rehabilitation of people. A study was conducted in an Israeli prison in which prisoners from several months too many years were questioned about their dependence on faith to pass th ...

3 Assessment, Classification, and Treatment with Juvenile Delinquents
Jemel P. Aguilar and David W. Springer Between 1991 and 2003, the number of juveniles in residential corrections programs increased by 27 percent. In practical terms this means that over 96,000 juveniles are in residential correctional programs (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006). In addition to the large number of juveniles in residential programming, a recent research study (Teplin et al., 2002) showed that over 60 percent of young male offenders and 73 percent of young female offenders had a mental health diagnosis, such as major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Hence, the juvenile justice system faces the task of serving a number of youth who have committed delinquent offenses and possibly contending with one or more mental health disorders. Following a number of critical reviews of evaluations, in particular Lipton, Martinson, and Wilks (1975), the accepted wisdom in the field related to juveniles became one of “nothing works.” Today, researchers are conducting complex statistical tests of the effectiveness of interventions with juvenile offenders. Lipsey and Wilson (1998), for example, conducted a meta-analysis of experimental or quasi-experimental studies of interventions with serious and violent juvenile delinquents. They reviewed 200 programs, 83 of which involved institutionalized juveniles and 117 involved noninstitutionalized juveniles. McBride et al. (1999, p. 58) summarize the findings of Lipsey and Wilson’s meta-analysis. Now researchers are confident that some interventions are effective in stemming juvenile delinquency (cf. Lipsey, Wilson, & Cothern, 2000). Among the programs in noninstitutional settings, those that demonstrate good evidence of effectiveness include behavioral therapies (family and contingency contracting), intensive case management (including system collaboration and continuing care), multisystemic therapy (MST), restitution programs (parole- and probation-based), and skills training. Program options that require more research to document their effectiveness include 12-step programs (AA, NA), adult mentoring (with behaviorally contingent reinforcement), after-school recreation programs, conflict resolution/violence prevention, intensive probation services (IPS), juvenile versions of Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities (TASC), peer mediation, and traditional inpatient/outpatient programs. Program options that do not show evidence of effectiveness include deterrence programs, vocational training or career counseling, and wilderness challenge programs. In institutional settings, evidence of effectiveness has been demonstrated for behavioral programs (cognitive mediation and stress inoculation training), longer-term community residential programs (therapeutic communities that employ cognitive-behavioral approaches), multiple services within ...

Study Participants Answers to Interview Questions
Participant #1:
1. What are the disparities between jail and youth rehabilitation for African American offenders?
a. African Americans will be imprisoned more than their white counterparts who will be given rehabilitation, institutional racism exists, and the system will spend more man hours and time dealing with white offenders than black offenders.
2. What are some social issues that African American juveniles are faced with?
a. Sociocultural stigmas, single-parent households, inadequate educational systems, poor role models, and single-parent households
3. Why are African American male juveniles not offered other means of rehabilitative punishments?
a. The New Jim Crow is our correctional system, which seeks to fill jail cells by incarcerating more black and Latino people who are then utilized as enslaved people in the system for huge corporations and the US Government. The system indicates they are not receptive and will not change.
4. What effects does the existing jail and punishment system have on this population?
a. Demeaning and discouraging—we should fund educational aid, mental health services, and instruction. Providing people with helpful tools, role models, and direction will also help them become contributing members of society
Participant #2:
1. Youth rehabilitation centers should provide mechanisms to prevent offenders from committing crimes but in order to effectively do that the differences amongst AA juveniles and other races must be addressed, while jail just allows for a separation from society to think about the crime.
2. African American male juveniles are faced with a predetermined
perception of being criminals as well as a lack of resources in their communities to educate them on the different career paths & trades that exist.
3. The funding doesn’t exist to provide other rehabilitative opportunities in AA communities.
4. The existing punishment system allows offenders to be separated from the public but it doesn’t provide them with any resources to be successful once their time is complete. Not addressing the underlying issues of how they entered the system as well as how to they can live a successful life after now being labeled as a criminal normally results in repeat offenders.
Participant #3:
1. The youth aren’t getting the proper guidance, mental healthcare and attentiveness in jail. They’re already “written off” which leads to them believing what they’re being taught and increasing the likelihood of them becoming repeat offenders. In youth rehab, you’re given a second chance, you’re being taught how to manage your mental and emotional state. You are being prepared for the world.
2. Prejudice. Are seen as thugs, no good. Etc. don’t have proper resources to get them back on their feet. Difficulty getting jobs, getting into school once released.
3. Unsure, but I’m sure it’s race.
4. You can become in.

IMPACTS OF JUCVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM ON AFRICAN AMERICAN ADOLESCENT 7
Impacts of Juvenile Justice Systems for African Americans Adolescents.
The study on juvenile systems focuses on African American adolescents as they are the majority in the juvenile systems. Much research has been done focusing on why most blacks are in the juvenile and prison systems. The question boils down to racial injustices and many other factors. However, this study focuses on the impacts of juvenile systems on African Americans. Therefore, it is vital to understand the effects of juvenile systems on African American youths focusing on behavioral changes and widespread health impacts by comparing the detained and released juveniles to those never arrested. It is essential to understand behavioral changes among adolescents since they stay together at the school level, and deviant behaviors may harm themselves or even teachers. Study shows that African American youths are involved in higher juvenile cases than any other race (Voisin et al., 2016). Other studies relate societal aspects that push African American youths to deviant behaviors such as taking marijuana, drugs, and other harmful societal acts such as commercial sex (Voisin et al., 2016) (Voisin et al., 2016). Juvenile systems focus on changing youths' behaviors but do they also negatively impact youth’s behavior?
Purpose Statement
The study will help understand factors in the juvenile systems that cause behavioral changes among convicted youth. Thus, an ideal comprehension of the relationship between juvenile justice systems and their role in changing youth behaviors will help identify correct interventions to impact convicted youths and create a better future society positively.
Theoretical Framework and Hypothesis
The study focuses on African American adolescents by comparing blacks adolescents exposed to juvenile systems and those not yet convicted. By focusing on their behavioral differences, the study aims to show the role of juvenile systems in the well-being of adolescents. Do the juvenile systems have a positive role in adolescent behavior, or do they still show deviant behaviors even after release from juvenile systems?. The questions raise concerns about the part of juveniles in society. Besides, other researches focus on social determinants of behavioral changes such as environment, income, and family status where adolescents reside. It is vital to understand whether African American adolescents acquire their behaviors from the societal environment or the ineffective juvenile systems that determine their behavioral changes. Thus the study develops two hypotheses:
H1: Adolescents are mentally affected with juvenile systems programs as they show repetitive deviant behaviors after release.
H2: Socio-economic factors are a great contributor to deviant behaviors seen in African American youths.
Numerous studies have focused on why juvenile systems have more African American youths than othe ...

It is essential to understand behavioral changes among adolescents since they stay together at the school level, and deviant behaviors may harm themselves or even teachers. Study shows that African American youths are involved in higher juvenile cases than any other race (Voisin et al., 2016). Other studies relate societal aspects that push African American youths to deviant behaviors such as taking marijuana, drugs, and other harmful societal acts such as commercial sex (Voisin et al., 2016) (Voisin et al., 2016). Juvenile systems focus on changing youths' behaviors but do they also negatively impact youth’s behavior?
Purpose Statement
The study will help understand factors in the juvenile systems that cause behavioral changes among convicted youth. Thus, an ideal comprehension of the relationship between juvenile justice systems and their role in changing youth behaviors will help identify correct interventions to impact convicted youths and create a better future society positively.
Theoretical Framework and Hypothesis
The study focuses on African American adolescents by comparing blacks adolescents exposed to juvenile systems and those not yet convicted. By focusing on their behavioral differences, the study aims to show the role of juvenile systems in the well-being of adolescents. Do the juvenile systems have a positive role in adolescent behavior, or do they still show deviant behaviors even after release from juvenile systems?. The questions raise concerns about the part of juveniles in society. Besides, other researches focus on social determinants of behavioral changes such as environment, income, and family status where adolescents reside. It is vital to understand whether African American adolescents acquire their behaviors from the societal environment or the ineffective juvenile systems that determine their behavioral changes. Thus the study develops two hypotheses:
H1: Adolescents are mentally affected with juvenile systems programs as they show repetitive deviant behaviors after release.
H2: Socio-economic factors are a great contributor to deviant behaviors seen in African American youths.
Numerous studies have focused on why juvenile systems have more African American youths than othe ...

The purpose of this presentation is to discuss how efficient psychological treatments are in correctional facilities and suggesting ways to address any identifiable inadequacies in how offenders are treated in the corrections. I would be addressing very specific target audience which are psychologists, counsellors, correctional personnel and those in charge of formulating policies within these correctional facilities. Counselors and psychologist must be aware of how efficient psychological treatments are for inmates and where the system is lacking in order to fill in that gap. Similarly, those in charge of policy a program formation sho0uld also be cognizant with these practices and knowledge.
The no longer concerns whether psychiatric therapy is beneficial; rather, it is: "what intervention, from whom, and under which conditions is most helpful for this person, with this particular problem? Immediate research is required to solve this issue. This should cover the numerous factors and their interconnections, such as personality types, cause attributions, substance misuse, skill endowments and weaknesses, learning style, reaction style,' mode of operation, environmental influences, and demographic factors.
Comprehensive psychological evaluations, both before and during treatment, are the key to solving this problem. This presentation will shed light on the issues that must be discussed by treatment, as well as the particular offending behaviors that must be handled head-on. It will also reveal what offence-related behaviors, personal attributes, and facets of the inmate's environment should be acknowledged in order to successfully treat the offender. Effective treatment articulates not only the specific offending behavior but also other offender parameters that are related to it. This means that it is not an either/or situation.
Positive response to this issue will lead to extensive changes to the training activities rendering them more comprehensive and in-depth so as to greatly influence the outcomes. The outcomes that are expected is that it may help direct the design and implementation of future psychological training programs and study for inmates, as well as contributing to the creation of best practice recommendations for such programs.
The intended implication from this presentation is to provide the relevant agencies and instituti9on with added knowledge, and recommendation on new practices so as to make the programs offered in corrections more efficient to the point where we would be able to observe positive changes in offender behavior and low rates of recidivism.

Abstract
When offenders are released from prison, they are faced with many hardships and barriers that will result in them not being successfully re-integrated into society. They struggle with finding housing, employment, and good support systems. Offenders are normally stereotyped and labeled by other members of society. The labeling and stereotyping often poses as a challenged for these offenders that also results in offenders having a high recidivism rate. Since offenders are normally excluded from other members of society, they tend to link up with others who share the problems as them. When offenders are stereotyped and labeled it leads to the offenders participating in deviant behaviors and forcing them to be persistent criminals. This study examines how much damage that labeling can pose on an offender. Throughout this paper, secondary data from various scholarly articles will be utilized to support the problems that labeled offenders face upon being released from prison. In conclusion, this paper will also discuss various ways that recidivism can be mitigated in order to alleviate offenders from continuing to be processed in the criminal justice system.
Introduction
When an individual is implicated in criminal behavior, what normally would follow involves some form of criminal labeling; usually known as a public criminal labeling. According to labeling theorist, most people commit a crime at some point in their lives; however, they assert that not everybody is labeled as a criminal or a deviant individual. The most striking point worth noting are the groups of individuals that are being labeled. Our society tends to label individuals based on the environment in which they reside in, their family settings and social groups. Society also tends to imply that these individuals are more likely to commit crimes and pose as an imminent danger to society. Public criminal labeling is a stereotype that poses negative effects on victims and has the potential to result in individuals engaging in deviant acts.
When an individual has been successfully labeled as a criminal, that particular label then is attached to them, that label becomes dominant and is likely to be considered more important than other aspects of that particular individual. Public crime labeling seems to prove that the role of various criminal justice agencies is misplaced because instead of preventing crime it increases it. Crime labeling typically results in an individual to participating in deviant behavior and pushes offenders to become persistent criminals. One of the main reasons it due to stereotypes. In addition to being labeled offenders are also stereotyped. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of stereotyping and criminal labeling. Once an individual has been stereotyped and labeled as a criminal offender how much damage does the label do?

Select a theory other than rational choice or deterrence theories, and compare and/or contrast it to the post of your classmates’ and/or your instructor.
Does one of these theories clarify your understanding of the crime or criminal issue you intend to examine in your Final Project?
DISCUSSION RESPONSE FROM STUDENT ONE JAYMES W.
Rational choice theories are among the fastest growing theories in social science today. Many sociologists and political scientists defend the claim that rational choice theory can provide the basis for a unified and comprehensive theory of social behavior. What distinguishes rational choice theory from other forms of theory is that it denies the existence of any kinds of action other than the purely rational and calculative. All social action can be seen as rationally motivated, as instrumental action, however much of it may appear to be irrational or non-rational.
General deterrence strategies focus on future behaviors, preventing individuals from engaging in crime or deviant by impacting their rational decision making process. Specific deterrence focuses on punishing known deviants in order to prevent them from ever again violating the specific norms they have broken. Through the rational use of punishment as a negative sanction, problematic behavior can be cut down dramatically. Some examples are: shock sentencing, corporal punishment, mandatory arrests for certain behaviors.
Specific deterrence strategies, focuses on punishing known deviants in order to prevent them from ever again violating the specific norms they have broken. The concern here is that motives and rationales that lie behind the original behavior can, perhaps, never be delineated, but through the rational use of punishment as a negative sanction, problematic beh.

When working with clients, there are many factors at play that not only formed the client in their early years, but also influence them now. The factors that influence them now can include: family, living situation, job situation, friends, religious community, etc. These factors can all influence how a social worker can assist in intervening in a client’s life. Each of these factors can also be included in different systems that influence the client (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016).
Let us take, for example, the case of Lester. Lester was an independent member in his community, church community, and was able to handle his life all by himself. However, after an automobile accident, Lester has done a 180 and can no longer clothe or clean himself (Plummer, Makris, and Brocksen, 2014). This is where systems perspective comes in: what systems in Lester’s life can the social worker use to assist Lester? From the case study, we know that Lester is close with his family, but his sister-in-law has really stepped up to the plate in helping with Lester’s care. Because of Lester’s connections with his religious community, they may be relied on for resources. Lester’s children have not been involved really at all, so they should not be counted on as a system on which Lester can rely (Plummer, Makris, and Brocksen, 2014). Lester will have to have new systems created for him, as he cannot create them for himself anymore.
As a social worker, it is crucial to know the systems on which a client can rely. System Theory is a good theory because of its ability to be used with any client. Knowing what resources are available to a client, as well as their interactions with those resources, is key in creating a treatment plan for the client.

DISCUSSION 1Some mandatory sentencing laws, called three-strikes.docxduketjoy27252
DISCUSSION 1
Some mandatory sentencing laws, called three-strikes laws, were created in the 1990s as citizens and lawmakers became fed up withviolent crime. Intended to be used to lock up repeat violent offenders for life, the laws were not widely implemented in all states, and only California has used its threestrikes law widely.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS TO:
Search for "California three-strikes law" on the Internet and read about its benefits as well as costs.
Focus on what type of offenders have been most affected, the law's impact on crime, its financial impact, and whether it has been applied in a racially biased way.
Then, argue one way or the other, whether the law is good or bad. Explain.

FIRST DISCUSSION RESPONSE FROM CHRISTOPHER E.
Drug Courts
The activity I chose was drug courts. I chose this activity because drugs seem to be a main gateway into criminal activity and individuals becoming offenders and ending up in the criminal justice system. Drug courts are a system that treats drug addicted and mentally ill individuals for their addiction without putting them into the traditional criminal justice system. The drug courts program offer the offender counseling, mental health services as well as job placement programs and vocational training (Robinson, 2013). Like a spoke of drug abuse is the gateway that leads to addiction and this only leads to crimes like robberies, theft or other crimes to support these habits. Some of these crimes are petty crimes and the crime and the cause has to be taken into consideration, so that’s why drug courts are so important. Treating a petty criminal who is drug addicted in the drug courts alleviates the offender going to prison which are already overcrowded and this only costs the government or state more funds to incarcerate this individual. The key is keeping the individual in the program long enough for it to work.
The reward system for the individual for doing well and sanctions for not conforming to the treatment are innovative ways to energize the individual to take the treatment serious. The fact that usually after the.

Paige Sowell
RE: Week 5 Discussion 1
School violence has become an issue of concern to the law enforcement agencies due to the spontaneous nature of its occurrence. The main motivations of school violence are varied for instance internalizing among students due to social strife within the school environment such as bullying may result in school violence (Bennett-Johnson, n.d.). Access to weapons such as guns is another motivation to the development of school violence. Schools can address violence through developing relationship level strategies such as the development of peer counseling programs in addition to developing security checks that aim to identify the existence of weapons or other dangerous devices within the school environment (Bennett-Johnson, n.d.). Schools should also develop protocols and policies that guide educational stakeholders from teachers to students on how to react to incidents of school violence thus limiting the adverse influences of these events. When developing a training plan for police officers in relation to dealing with possible workforce violence incidents the first step of the plan is to teach the officers the difference between crowd control and crowd management and how these strategies can be applied to different situations (Berkeley Police, 2014). The second step is training the officers on situational awareness which enables them to make better decisions in such circumstances. The third step involves simulating the different types of protests enabling the officers to apply concepts learned in real life situations.

PhoneGap is an open source set of tools created by Nitobi
Solution
s (now part of Adobe)
that enables you to create mobile applications for multiple devices by utilizing the same code.
PhoneGap is a hybrid mobile application framework that allows the use of HTML, CSS,
and JavaScript to write applications that are based on the open standards of the web. These
applications also have access to the native functionality of the device. PhoneGap has been
downloaded more than 600,000 times, and more than 1,000 apps built with PhoneGap are
available in the respective app stores, which makes PhoneGap a viable solution for creating
cross-platform mobile apps.
HISTORY OF PHONEGAP
PhoneGap was started at the San Francisco iPhone Dev Camp in August 2008. iOS was shaping
up to become a popular mobile platform, but the learning curve for Objective-C was more work
than many developers wanted to take on. PhoneGap originally started as a headless browser
implementation for the iPhone. Because of the popularity of HTML/CSS/JavaScript, it was a
goal that this project use technologies with which many developers where already familiar.
Based on the growing popularity of the framework, in October 2008 Nitobi added support
for Android and BlackBerry. PhoneGap was awarded the People’s Choice award at the Web2.0
Expo Launch Pad in 2009, which was the start of developers recognizing PhoneGap as a
valuable mobile development tool. PhoneGap version 0.7.2 was released in April 2009, and
was the fi rst version for which the Android and iPhone APIs were equivalent.

310 " CHAPTER 11 GETTING STARTED WITH PHONEGAP
In September 2009 Apple approved the use of the PhoneGap platform to build apps for the iPhone
store. Apple required that all PhoneGap apps be built using at least version 0.8.0 of the PhoneGap
software. In July 2011, PhoneGap released version 1.0.0.
WHY USE PHONEGAP?
PhoneGap enables you to leverage your current HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skill sets to create a mobile
application. This can greatly speed up development time. When you develop for multiple platforms
using PhoneGap, you can reuse the majority of the code you have written for the mobile project, further
reducing development costs. It isn’t necessary to learn Java, C#, and Objective-C to create an applica-
tion with PhoneGap that can target iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone 7.
If you fi nd native functionality missing from PhoneGap, you can extend the functionality of the
PhoneGap platform using native code. With the PhoneGap add-in structure, you can create an add-in
using the native language of the device and a JavaScript API that will call the native plug-in you

Proposal Part One - Part 1: Influence of Internet on Tourism Industry
Research Proposal: Influence of Internet on Tourism Industry
Introduction
The tourism industry has been among the best-valued sectors within the nation to generate massive revenue for the government. Besides, the industry is considered among the earliest since it started several decades ago. For an extended period, the industry uses Integrated Marketing Communications to promote their various products and services to the entire world. The introduction of technology in the industry leads to improvements in the sectors. Most individuals without extensive information on the tourism industry can access the data in their comfort zones. It implies that IT and internet technology play a significant role in ensuring effective strategy due to its existence globally.
Most European countries have tried to promote and implement internet technology in ensuring satisfactory delivery of products and services (Kayumovich, 2020). Since it has a custom within the tourism and hotel industry to provide intangible products and services, including but not limited to services alongside comfort, the internet has been an effective method of delivering its messages to the targeted customers. Also, through internet technology, the industry has achieved more customers in the global market, including the European market. The promotion of branding within the European tourism industry has been effective due to the introduction and implementation of internet technology. Thus, the internet is believed to significantly influence the tourism industry in various sectors, including but limited to infrastructure, travel, alongside the marketing sector. Before introducing the internet alongside the IT, travelling of customers was dangerous and unpleasant since travellers had constraint understanding of locations they were visiting.
As a result, the existing vacationers of time had limited knowledge of the cultures and terrain alongside the climate change and patterns necessary to stimulate the travelling issues. Therefore, tourism sectors, including but not limited to tour companies, travel agencies and other like hotels, had developed strategies necessary to promote booking and reservation processes (David-Negre et al. 2018). However, several decades ago, popular sites were visited by tourists. It implies that the tourism sectors within the local or remote area faced challenges of securing sufficient clients as people were could not define the destination. Also, shortage of information on a particular region leads to reduced travelling by visitors. The research involved the utilization of relevant literature review on the subject matter to provide factual information. Therefore, the report offers adequate information on the influence of the internet on the tourism industry. This research would give me the stage to show my finding and view and also propose how the internet can be leveraged to an extend i ...

Abstract Comment by Stumme, Clifford James (College Applied Studies & Acad Succ) [2]: Notice how the abstract gives a brief overview of the elements of the research proposal without arguing or getting ahead of itself by predicting results.
Culture can influence how people interact and the level of inclusion of different cultures in a particular setting.While numerous studies have been conducted examining deaf studies and deaf culture, there is a curious lack of research that has specifically considered the level of inclusion of deaf people in evangelical hearing churches. This research proposal includes an interdisciplinary including a literature review that examines a handful of studies on interactions among deaf and hearing populations to consider challenges of hearing and deaf integration. Examining these diverse perspectives, including Catholic ministry, disability ministry and deaf culture, provides a fresh interdisciplinary perspective to approach the challenges of deaf inclusion in ministerial settings. It was found through this literature review that a gap in scholarly research exists in this area. As further research would be necessary to address this gap, the goal of this research proposal is to conduct a qualitative study for further research by petitioning deaf perspective through online interviews utilizing the social media platform of Facebook. Although a low budget would be necessary, the implications of this research would provide a platform to open community conversation to address challenges and provide ideas on integration of deaf and hearing congregants in evangelical hearing churches. Examining deaf perspectives may provide additional information for fellowship, growth and exposure to the Gospel for deaf congr ...

When working with clients, there are many factors at play that not only formed the client in their early years, but also influence them now. The factors that influence them now can include: family, living situation, job situation, friends, religious community, etc. These factors can all influence how a social worker can assist in intervening in a client’s life. Each of these factors can also be included in different systems that influence the client (Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman, 2016).
Let us take, for example, the case of Lester. Lester was an independent member in his community, church community, and was able to handle his life all by himself. However, after an automobile accident, Lester has done a 180 and can no longer clothe or clean himself (Plummer, Makris, and Brocksen, 2014). This is where systems perspective comes in: what systems in Lester’s life can the social worker use to assist Lester? From the case study, we know that Lester is close with his family, but his sister-in-law has really stepped up to the plate in helping with Lester’s care. Because of Lester’s connections with his religious community, they may be relied on for resources. Lester’s children have not been involved really at all, so they should not be counted on as a system on which Lester can rely (Plummer, Makris, and Brocksen, 2014). Lester will have to have new systems created for him, as he cannot create them for himself anymore.
As a social worker, it is crucial to know the systems on which a client can rely. System Theory is a good theory because of its ability to be used with any client. Knowing what resources are available to a client, as well as their interactions with those resources, is key in creating a treatment plan for the client.

DISCUSSION 1Some mandatory sentencing laws, called three-strikes.docxduketjoy27252
DISCUSSION 1
Some mandatory sentencing laws, called three-strikes laws, were created in the 1990s as citizens and lawmakers became fed up withviolent crime. Intended to be used to lock up repeat violent offenders for life, the laws were not widely implemented in all states, and only California has used its threestrikes law widely.
YOUR ASSIGNMENT IS TO:
Search for "California three-strikes law" on the Internet and read about its benefits as well as costs.
Focus on what type of offenders have been most affected, the law's impact on crime, its financial impact, and whether it has been applied in a racially biased way.
Then, argue one way or the other, whether the law is good or bad. Explain.
THIS ASSIGNMENT ABOVE HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE. THE NEXT ASSIGNMENT YOU NEED TO DO IS:
PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON TWO CLASSMATES POSTS. THE LENGTH MUST BE 200 WORDS EACH POST. THERE ARE TWO FEEDBACKS YOU MUST DO. MUST BE POSITIVE FEEDBACK, PROPER GRAMMAR/SENTENCE STRUCTURE, AND ANY OUTSIDE SOURCES YOU USE THAT RELATES TO THE FEEDBACK FROM THE STUDENT MUST BE PROPERLY CITED/SCHOLARY SOURCE.
Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts.PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS BELOW IN THE FEEDBACK YOU PROVIDE TO EACH STUDENT.
In your responses to their posts, address the following:
Is there a crime prevention program in the policing or corrections areas that would complement the initiative addressed by your classmates?
What concept or theory would support your position?
Will the initiative positively or negatively impact social justice for all groups or just targeted segments of society?
FIRST DISCUSSION RESPONSE FROM CHRISTOPHER E.
Drug Courts
The activity I chose was drug courts. I chose this activity because drugs seem to be a main gateway into criminal activity and individuals becoming offenders and ending up in the criminal justice system. Drug courts are a system that treats drug addicted and mentally ill individuals for their addiction without putting them into the traditional criminal justice system. The drug courts program offer the offender counseling, mental health services as well as job placement programs and vocational training (Robinson, 2013). Like a spoke of drug abuse is the gateway that leads to addiction and this only leads to crimes like robberies, theft or other crimes to support these habits. Some of these crimes are petty crimes and the crime and the cause has to be taken into consideration, so that’s why drug courts are so important. Treating a petty criminal who is drug addicted in the drug courts alleviates the offender going to prison which are already overcrowded and this only costs the government or state more funds to incarcerate this individual. The key is keeping the individual in the program long enough for it to work.
The reward system for the individual for doing well and sanctions for not conforming to the treatment are innovative ways to energize the individual to take the treatment serious. The fact that usually after the.

Paige Sowell
RE: Week 5 Discussion 1
School violence has become an issue of concern to the law enforcement agencies due to the spontaneous nature of its occurrence. The main motivations of school violence are varied for instance internalizing among students due to social strife within the school environment such as bullying may result in school violence (Bennett-Johnson, n.d.). Access to weapons such as guns is another motivation to the development of school violence. Schools can address violence through developing relationship level strategies such as the development of peer counseling programs in addition to developing security checks that aim to identify the existence of weapons or other dangerous devices within the school environment (Bennett-Johnson, n.d.). Schools should also develop protocols and policies that guide educational stakeholders from teachers to students on how to react to incidents of school violence thus limiting the adverse influences of these events. When developing a training plan for police officers in relation to dealing with possible workforce violence incidents the first step of the plan is to teach the officers the difference between crowd control and crowd management and how these strategies can be applied to different situations (Berkeley Police, 2014). The second step is training the officers on situational awareness which enables them to make better decisions in such circumstances. The third step involves simulating the different types of protests enabling the officers to apply concepts learned in real life situations.

Getting Started with PhoneGap
WHAT’S IN THIS CHAPTER?
! History of PhoneGap
! Di! erences between HTML5 and PhoneGap
! Getting a development environment set up
! Implementing the Derby App
PhoneGap is an open source set of tools created by Nitobi
Solution
s (now part of Adobe)
that enables you to create mobile applications for multiple devices by utilizing the same code.
PhoneGap is a hybrid mobile application framework that allows the use of HTML, CSS,
and JavaScript to write applications that are based on the open standards of the web. These
applications also have access to the native functionality of the device. PhoneGap has been
downloaded more than 600,000 times, and more than 1,000 apps built with PhoneGap are
available in the respective app stores, which makes PhoneGap a viable solution for creating
cross-platform mobile apps.
HISTORY OF PHONEGAP
PhoneGap was started at the San Francisco iPhone Dev Camp in August 2008. iOS was shaping
up to become a popular mobile platform, but the learning curve for Objective-C was more work
than many developers wanted to take on. PhoneGap originally started as a headless browser
implementation for the iPhone. Because of the popularity of HTML/CSS/JavaScript, it was a
goal that this project use technologies with which many developers where already familiar.
Based on the growing popularity of the framework, in October 2008 Nitobi added support
for Android and BlackBerry. PhoneGap was awarded the People’s Choice award at the Web2.0
Expo Launch Pad in 2009, which was the start of developers recognizing PhoneGap as a
valuable mobile development tool. PhoneGap version 0.7.2 was released in April 2009, and
was the fi rst version for which the Android and iPhone APIs were equivalent.

310 " CHAPTER 11 GETTING STARTED WITH PHONEGAP
In September 2009 Apple approved the use of the PhoneGap platform to build apps for the iPhone
store. Apple required that all PhoneGap apps be built using at least version 0.8.0 of the PhoneGap
software. In July 2011, PhoneGap released version 1.0.0.
WHY USE PHONEGAP?
PhoneGap enables you to leverage your current HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skill sets to create a mobile
application. This can greatly speed up development time. When you develop for multiple platforms
using PhoneGap, you can reuse the majority of the code you have written for the mobile project, further
reducing development costs. It isn’t necessary to learn Java, C#, and Objective-C to create an applica-
tion with PhoneGap that can target iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone 7.
If you fi nd native functionality missing from PhoneGap, you can extend the functionality of the
PhoneGap platform using native code. With the PhoneGap add-in structure, you can create an add-in
using the native language of the device and a JavaScript API that will call the native plug-in you
created. Cross-platfo ...

Proposal Part One - Part 1: Influence of Internet on Tourism Industry
Research Proposal: Influence of Internet on Tourism Industry
Introduction
The tourism industry has been among the best-valued sectors within the nation to generate massive revenue for the government. Besides, the industry is considered among the earliest since it started several decades ago. For an extended period, the industry uses Integrated Marketing Communications to promote their various products and services to the entire world. The introduction of technology in the industry leads to improvements in the sectors. Most individuals without extensive information on the tourism industry can access the data in their comfort zones. It implies that IT and internet technology play a significant role in ensuring effective strategy due to its existence globally.
Most European countries have tried to promote and implement internet technology in ensuring satisfactory delivery of products and services (Kayumovich, 2020). Since it has a custom within the tourism and hotel industry to provide intangible products and services, including but not limited to services alongside comfort, the internet has been an effective method of delivering its messages to the targeted customers. Also, through internet technology, the industry has achieved more customers in the global market, including the European market. The promotion of branding within the European tourism industry has been effective due to the introduction and implementation of internet technology. Thus, the internet is believed to significantly influence the tourism industry in various sectors, including but limited to infrastructure, travel, alongside the marketing sector. Before introducing the internet alongside the IT, travelling of customers was dangerous and unpleasant since travellers had constraint understanding of locations they were visiting.
As a result, the existing vacationers of time had limited knowledge of the cultures and terrain alongside the climate change and patterns necessary to stimulate the travelling issues. Therefore, tourism sectors, including but not limited to tour companies, travel agencies and other like hotels, had developed strategies necessary to promote booking and reservation processes (David-Negre et al. 2018). However, several decades ago, popular sites were visited by tourists. It implies that the tourism sectors within the local or remote area faced challenges of securing sufficient clients as people were could not define the destination. Also, shortage of information on a particular region leads to reduced travelling by visitors. The research involved the utilization of relevant literature review on the subject matter to provide factual information. Therefore, the report offers adequate information on the influence of the internet on the tourism industry. This research would give me the stage to show my finding and view and also propose how the internet can be leveraged to an extend i ...

Social Inclusion of Deaf with Hearing Congregants within a Ministerial Setting Comment by Stumme, Clifford James (College Applied Studies & Acad Succ): As you review this sample student paper, please keep in mind that there are some flaws in this paper (as with any piece of writing). However, it is one of the best INDS 400 research proposals received to date, so it is an excellent reference point.
Sample Student Comment by Stumme, Clifford James (College Applied Studies & Acad Succ) [2]: Also, remember that what you are looking at is an example of the overall research proposal, not just the literature review. If you are working on your literature review, refer to the portion marked “literature review” and remember that within that literature review portion, there is a unique introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. The first paragraph is the introduction for the proposal as a whole, which is different from the kind of introduction you should write for the literature review itself. Also remember that while this research proposal has an abstract, you do not need one for the literature review.

Abstract Comment by Stumme, Clifford James (College Applied Studies & Acad Succ) [2]: Notice how the abstract gives a brief overview of the elements of the research proposal without arguing or getting ahead of itself by predicting results.
Culture can influence how people interact and the level of inclusion of different cultures in a particular setting.While numerous studies have been conducted examining deaf studies and deaf culture, there is a curious lack of research that has specifically considered the level of inclusion of deaf people in evangelical hearing churches. This research proposal includes an interdisciplinary including a literature review that examines a handful of studies on interactions among deaf and hearing populations to consider challenges of hearing and deaf integration. Examining these diverse perspectives, including Catholic ministry, disability ministry and deaf culture, provides a fresh interdisciplinary perspective to approach the challenges of deaf inclusion in ministerial settings. It was found through this literature review that a gap in scholarly research exists in this area. As further research would be necessary to address this gap, the goal of this research proposal is to conduct a qualitative study for further research by petitioning deaf perspective through online interviews utilizing the social media platform of Facebook. Although a low budget would be necessary, the implications of this research would provide a platform to open community conversation to address challenges and provide ideas on integration of deaf and hearing congregants in evangelical hearing churches. Examining deaf perspectives may provide additional information for fellowship, growth and exposure to the Gospel for deaf congr ...

Introduction
Going to college can be demanding for many people. In addition to managing academic insistence, many students have to cope with their families' complex separation tasks. At the same time, some of them continue to deal with a lot of many family duties. Mental health experts and advocates contend that it is an epidemic that colleges need to investigate further. Depression, anxiety disorders are some of the significant mental health issues that affect college students. The effects of suicidal ideas on university students' academic achievement have not been explored, yet mental health conditions are associated with academic achievement (De Luca et al., 2016). A novel coronavirus has worsened the situation of mental health. Even before the onset of this virus, there was concern from mental health policymakers in America because of the rising mental health challenges. They claimed a need for additional aid for struggling university students and the capability for these institutions to provide it. Regrettably, many university students with mental health conditions do not seek and receive the necessary treatment. The primary reasons for not pursuing help include thinking that the challenge will get better with time, stigma from their peers and no time to seek the treatment because of a busy schedule (Corrigan et al. 2016). Without this treatment, college students experiencing medical conditions most of the time get lower grades, drop out of college, immerse themselves into substance abuse, or become unemployed. Because these mental health conditions are invisible, they can only be seen through academic performance or social behavior change. Should universities strike a balance between mental health conditions and academics? This review will conclude that the mental health condition of university students and scholars should be balanced. Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: You need to answer this question and present the answer as the thesis at the end of this paragraph. Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: This is not a review essay—it is an argumentative or persuasive essay. Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: What does this mean—should be balanced? By what? For what? And, by whom? Comment by Dr. Helen Doss: This paragraph is too long. See: https://www.umgc.edu/current-students/learning-resources/writing-center/writing-resources/parts-of-an-essay/paragraph-structure.cfm
Effects of not Balancing Mental Health and Academics
There are consequences of not balancing mental health and academics in higher learning institutions, mainly if they do not receive any treatment. For example, if depression goes untreated, it raises the chances of risky behavior like substance abuse. The condition affects how students sleep, eat, and it also affects how students think. Also, students cannot concentrate in class, and they cannot make rational decisions. By lack of concent ...

11From Introductions to ConclusionsDrafting an Essay
In this chapter, we describe strategies for crafting introductions that set up your argument. We then describe the characteristics of well-formulated paragraphs that will help you build your argument. Finally, we provide you with some strategies for writing conclusions that reinforce what is new about your argument, what is at stake, and what readers should do with the knowledge you convey
DRAFTING INTRODUCTIONS
The introduction is where you set up your argument. It’s where you identify a widely held assumption, challenge that assumption, and state your thesis. Writers use a number of strategies to set up their arguments. In this section we look at five of them:
· Moving from a general topic to a specific thesis (inverted-triangle introduction)
· Introducing the topic with a story (narrative introduction)
· Beginning with a question (interrogative introduction)
· Capturing readers’ attention with something unexpected (paradoxical introduction)
· Identifying a gap in knowledge (minding-the-gap introduction)
Remember that an introduction need not be limited to a single paragraph. It may take several paragraphs to effectively set up your argument.
Keep in mind that you have to make these strategies your own. That is, we can suggest models, but you must make them work for your own argument. You must imagine your readers and what will engage them. What tone do you want to take? Playful? Serious? Formal? Urgent? The attitude you want to convey will depend on your purpose, your argument, and the needs of your audience.◼ The Inverted-Triangle Introduction
An inverted-triangle introduction, like an upside-down triangle, is broad at the top and pointed at the base. It begins with a general statement of the topic and then narrows its focus, ending with the point of the paragraph (and the triangle), the writer’s thesis. We can see this strategy at work in the following introduction from a student’s essay. The student writer (1) begins with a broad description of the problem she will address, (2) then focuses on a set of widely held but troublesome assumptions, and (3) finally, presents her thesis in response to what she sees as a pervasive problem.
The paragraph reads, “In today’s world, many believe that education’s sole purpose is to communicate information for students to store and draw on as necessary. By storing this information, students hope to perform well on tests. Good test scores assure good grades. Good grades eventually lead to acceptances into good colleges, which ultimately guarantee good jobs. Many teachers and students, convinced that education exists as a tool to secure good jobs, rely on the banking system. In her essay “Teaching to Transgress,” bell hooks defines the banking system as an “approach to learning that is rooted in the notion that all students need to do is consume information fed to them by a professor and be able to memorize and store it” (185). Through the banking s ...

Definition
Groupthink is a pattern of thought characterized by self-deception, forced manufacture of consent, and conformity to group values and ethics.
Summary
Valine (2018) discussed how powerful an effect groupthink can have on community and peers. It followed two case studies about JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, which explains how many sources and credentials the author has used. The focus of the article is that circumstances have occurred inside these companies which were able to affect the entire economy as well. Groupthink is usually followed by irrational thinking and decision making which completely ignores alternatives and constantly goes for the primary decision. The large difference between group and groupthink is that the group consists of members of various backgrounds and experiences, while groupthink usually has members of similar ones. Further, there is no way for groupthink to recover from bad decisions mainly because all members have a similar understanding and point of the view towards a certain topic. The illusion of invulnerability is the main characteristic related to groupthink, where teammates ignore the danger, take extreme risks, and act highly optimistic.
Discussion
Groupthink is characterized by incorrect decisions that groups make mainly due to mental efficiency, reality testing, and moral judgment. Many conditions can cause groupthink to occur, and the most frequent ones are collective rationalization, belief in inherent morality, stereotyped views of out-groups, direct pressure on dissenters, and self-censorship.
The collective rationalization explains how different warnings are against the group thinking, so and where those opinions can create a misunderstanding. Belief in inherent morality points out that members ignore the ethical and moral consequences of decisions because they believe the correctness of their cause. The stereotyped views of out-groups are the characters to create a negative feeling about opposition outside the group environment. The direct pressure on dissenters is where team leaders discuss all members that have different opinions and philosophies than the group’s commitments and agreement. Lastly, the self-censorship is where teammates keep their thoughts and opinions without expressing them to others.
The case study about the London Whale explains how JPMC, one of the largest banks in the world, has lost 6.5 billion dollars due to bad and poor investment decisions. Everything occurred in April and May of 2012, where larger trading loss happened in Chase’s Investment Office throughout the London branch. The main transaction that affected Morgan Chase was credit default swaps (CDS) and it was shown that famous trader Bruno Iksil has gathered significant CDS position in the market at that time. Following this case, the internal control has risen o ...

Me Talk Pretty One Day # By David Sedaris
From his book Me Talk Pretty One Day
At the age of forty-one, I am returning to school and have to think of myself as
what my French textbook calls Ba true debutant.D After paying my tuition, I was issued
a student ID, which allows me a discounted entry fee at movie theaters, puppet shows,
and Festyland, a far-flung amusement park that advertises with billboards picturing a
cartoon stegosaurus sitting in a canoe and eating what appears to be a ham sandwich.
IFve moved to Paris with hopes of learning the language. My school is an easy
ten-minute walk from my apartment, and on the first day of class I arrived early,
watching as the returning students greeted one another in the school lobby. Vacations
were recounted, and questions were raised concerning mutual friends with names like
Kang and Vlatnya. Regardless of their nationalities, everyone spoke what sounded to
me like excellent French. Some accents were better than others, but the students
exhibited an ease and confidence that I found intimidating. As an added discomfort,
they were all young, attractive, and well-dressed, causing me to feel not unlike Pa Kettle
trapped backstage after a fashion show.
The first day of class was nerve-racking because I knew IFd be expected to
perform. ThatFs the way they do it here # itFs everybody into the language pool, sink or
swim. The teacher marched in, deeply tanned from a recent vacation, and proceeded to
rattle off a series of administrative announcements. IFve spent quite a few summers in
Normandy, and I took a monthlong French class before leaving New York. IFm not
completely in the dark, yet I understood only half of what this woman was saying.

out her lesson plan and sighed, saying, BAll right, then, who knows the alphabet?D
It was startling because (a) I hadnFt been asked that question in a while and (b) I
realized, while laughing, that I myself did not know the alphabet. TheyFre the same
letters, but in France theyFre pronounced differently. I know the shape of the alphabet
but had no idea what it actually sounded like.

Introduction
Program analysis using different perspectives
In a political economy, policies and programs are essential tools that assist in understanding the ongoing struggle for equality and social justice. Although both have an underlying difference, they serve an almost similar purpose. Essentially, understanding the goal of any program or policy can be achieved by analyzing the contending perspectives (Harvey, 2020). This involves the intentional bringing of different perspectives in contrast. They help examine core economic problems or concepts from an orthodox perspective, and others criticize it from a heterodox perspective. The perspectives are essential since both the heterodox and orthodox positions can be examined and reach a consensus.
In the United States, there has been a rise in spending on prescription drugs, which has led to the introduction of a Build Better Program. One proposal is driving down the cost of prescription drugs by allowing Medicare to negotiate with drugmakers over price; starting in 2025-ten drugs (plus insulin) would be on the table the first year, growing to 20 by 2028 (The White House, 2021). Although members of Congress have accepted the proposal, there is a need to analyze it using the different contending perspectives. This paper explores the proposal using the Classical Liberal, The radical, the Conservative Perspective, and the Modern Liberal Perspective. Individuals have the right to pursue their happiness, and proponents of the different political economy perspectives should work hand-in-hand to promote human development within society.
Analysis by Perspective
The Classical Liberal
The political philosophy and ideology belonging to liberalism emphasize securing citizens' freedom by limiting government power. Today, the proponents hold various thoughts and Perspectives, one being Neo-Austrian economics (Clark, 2016). Essentially, the program's main aim is to reduce the overall cost of prescription drugs. From the Perspective of Neo-Austrians, humans are self-interested. They can act autonomously by utilizing their capacity to discover an efficient means of satisfying their desires and basic needs (Harvey, 2020). Also, the government is created by the people to protect their natural rights. At the same time, justice requires safeguarding the people's rights established by the c ...

Factors that Affect the Teaching and Learning Process
Contextual Factors
The efficacious teaching and learning processes are important in generating the desired academic outcomes for students. Such processes entail the transformation and transfer of knowledge from the educators to students. It requires a combination of different elements within the procedure, in which an instructor determines and establishes the learning goals and objectives, and designs teaching resources. Thereafter, teachers implement the learning strategy that they will utilize to impart intellectual content into students. However, learning is a cardinal factor that an educator musty take into account while overseeing the process of knowledge acquisition and retention. Many factors play an important role in shaping the process of teaching and learning. Contextual factors, for instance, are associated with a particular context and characteristic that is distinct to a specific group, community, society, and individual. Such factors may take the form of a child’s educational, community, as well as classroom settings.
Community, District, and School Factors
Armstrong School District is a major public learning institution that occupies a geographical area of approximately 437 square miles. Located in Pennsylvania, it forms one of the 500 public school districts in the state, and hosts teachers and students from diverse racial, ethnic, and ethnic backgrounds. As a consequence, the institution partners with families, community leaders, and teachers to improve students’’ capacity to acquire knowledge ahead of their graduation. The community refers to the urban or rural environment in which both the teachers and learners operate. These may include the teacher and students’ ethnic, racial political or social affiliations that affect learning or knowledge acquisition. Additionally, parents and community members play an integral role in ensuring the quality of education in schools. They for, example, collaborate with teachers and school administrators to develop the most effective ways of improving their students’ learning outcomes. Indeed, community involvement in schooling issues is potentially a rich area for innovation that has immense benefits that far exceeds its limitations. Considering that governments are constrained in offering quality education due to contextual issues such as remoteness, bureaucracy, corruption, and inefficient management, community factors are pivotal in bridging the gap between government initiatives and community needs. This helps to adjust the child’s familial obligations to family interests, thereby shifting towards ways of mobilizing a sense of community by strengthening trust and relationships between community members, parents, governments, as well as teachers and school leaders.

Racial discrimination
Abstract
When there is justice in society, every person feels satisfied with the way legal actions are carried out in the community. Unfortunately, there are several instances of racial discrimination in the United States. Most of the racial discrimination in the United States ate directed towards black people. Although everyone is required to have equal treatment in the United States, achieving zero discrimination has always been difficult.
Understanding racial discrimination in the USA is vital as it makes it easy for one to identify ways to eliminate the criminal injustices resulting from racial discrimination. This will be essential since it will help to eliminate racial discrimination in the criminal justice system.
Introduction
When there is justice in society, every person feels satisfied with the way legal actions are carried out in society. The criminal justice community is when people are not discriminated against based on their skin color. Laws applicable are carried out uniformly such that every person is treated equally. When the laws are applied equally to every individual, it increases the trust in the criminal justice system. However, when there are biases in applying the laws, the criminal justice system becomes compromised. According to Kovera (2019), there are many disparities in the criminal justice system as black people are discriminated against by police officers based on their race. As a result, black people suffer more as compared to white people when they violate similar laws.
There is a lot of disparity in the criminal justice system of the United States. Many people suffer as a result of racial discrimination in the United States. People are discriminated against a lot in the administration of the policies. According to Donnel (2017), there is racial inequality in how criminal justice is carried out in policymaking. The criminal justice system discriminates against people based on their race. For example, police officers harass black people for minor mistakes which white people are left to walk freely even after making similar mistakes. Black people suffer because of the color of their skin.
Hypothesis/Problem Statement/Purpose Statement
Racial discrimination affects the outcomes of the criminal justice system adversely. How does racial discrimination affect the judicial criminal justice system? The study aims to identify ways in which criminal justice racial discrimination is practiced in the United States. It will also provide insights on the racial discrimination cases, which are helpful in the development of policies that can be helpful in the elimination of racial discrimination in society hence promoting equality among the citizens.

Communication Plan of a Manufacturing Plant
Background
In manufacturing companies, organization employees are at the centre of an organization. Most of them are at the front lines with the ability to change strategy into results. At the culmination of the day, the plant employees have the responsibility of ensuring that the operations are conducted smoothly, a product reaches consumers timely, and quality products are manufacture with the appropriate specifications. However, despite the primary role they play, manufacturing plants are disjointed (Adejimola, 2008). That disengagement is embodied with a hefty price which is paying a negative role in the performance of manufacturing plants just as they are being challenged to increase their efficiency and effectiveness to the company compared to previous years. To realize rapid growth around the globe, the manufacturing industry is attempting to standardize operations and continuously leverage operations. Such kind of effort needs a company to possess highly invested employees (Obiekwe, O& Eke, 2019). For this reason, natural communication naturally is primary on the path to more highly engaged and motivated employees. However, it can sometimes be challenging to plant employees due to natural challenges that accompany workplace. Some may not frequently be on Smartphone’s or emails, or they may be having various shifts to manage, and the environment may be less conducive, which makes it challenging for them to have one-on-one conversations.
Policies for Oral, Written, and Non-Verbal Communications
Interpersonal communication in a manufacturing plant is the way employees or people communication with others. It may involve a group of p-people, another person or the members of the public. In some instances, it may encompass non-verbal, written or non-verbal communication. In the manufacturing industry, when an individual is communicating with others, they need to consider the person they are talking to, the type of information they want to deliver and the most appropriate and relevant form of communication change. In some instances, such issues may be determined by the information an individual wants to communication (Obiekwe, O& Eke, 2019). At all times, it is required that the staff members remain polite, respectful to both the clients and one another. At no time should they sear, raise their voice, speak in a way belittling another.
Cultural awareness is also another essential element when communicating in a cultural plant. All individuals working in the plant need to recognize that individuals emerge from varying backgrounds and cultures, and they also accompany various attitudes, different values and beliefs (Obiekwe, O& Eke, 2019). All staffs in the plant need to exercise non-judgmental communication remain respectful and are tolerant of the differences prevalence ...

PART I. COMMODITIES AND MONEY
CHAPTER I. COMMODITIES
Section 1. The two factors of a commodity: use-value and value (the substance of value and the magnitude of value)
The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as “an immense accumulation of commodities,”1 its unit being a single commodity. Our investigation must therefore begin with the analysis of a commodity.
A commodity is, in the first place, an object outside us, a thing that by its properties satisfies human wants of some sort or another. The nature of such wants, whether, for instance, they spring from the stomach or from fancy, makes no difference.2 Neither are we here concerned to know how the object satisfies these wants, whether directly as means of subsistence, or indirectly as means of production.
Every useful thing, as iron, paper, &c., may be looked at from the two points of view of quality and quantity. It is an assemblage of many properties, and may therefore be of use in various ways. To discover the various uses of things is the work of history.3 So also is the establishment of socially-recognised standards of measure for the quantities of these useful objects. The diversity of these measures has its origin partly in the diverse nature of the objects to be measured, partly in convention.
The utility of a thing makes it a use-value.4 But this utility is not a thing of air. Being limited by the physical properties of the commodity, it has no existence apart from that commodity. A commodity, such as iron, corn, or a diamond, is therefore, so far as it is a material thing, a use-value, something useful. This property of a commodity is independent of the amount of labour required to appropriate its useful qualities. When treating of use-value, we always assume to be dealing with definite quantities, such as dozens of watches, yards of linen, or tons of iron. The use-values of commodities furnish the material for a special study, that of the commercial knowledge of commodities.5 Use-values become a reality only by use or consumption: they also constitute the substance of all wealth, whatever may be the social form of that wealth. In the form of society we are about to consider, they are, in addition, the material depositories of exchange-value.
Exchange-value, at first sight, presents itself as a quantitative relation, as the proportion in which values in use of one sort are exchanged for those of another sort,6 a relation constantly changing with time and place. Hence exchange-value appears to be something accidental and purely relative, and consequently an intrinsic value, i.e., an exchange-value that is inseparably connected with, inherent in commodities, seems a contradiction in terms.7 Let us consider the matter a little more closely.
A given commodity, e.g., a quarter of wheat is exchanged for x blacking, y silk, or z gold, &c.—in short, for other commodities in the most different proportions. Ins ...

Criminal Justice System

Criminal justice system
The criminal justice system is essential to identify and prevent crimes in the community. Various functions of the criminale system now adhere to the development of technology. Modern technology helps the criminal justice system in different ways. It has made the job easier and has assisted in the prevention of crimes.
Role of criminal justice practitioners in the technology development
The Ccriminal justice practitioners are responsible for identifying and analyzing different crimes in the community. They are responsible for developing and implementing the technology in the criminal justice system because they can use it for different purposes. They can introduce the new trends in the criminal justice system like the officers can collect and gather the data through the technology. Human error can be reduced through it. The dataset can be maintained, and it is also essential for criminal justice practitioners to develop the technology to locate the criminals and track their local places through GPS. The technology cannot be developed untill the criminal officers implement it in the routine. The criminal system now has to use robots and cameras that help them get information about the criminals. The practitioners can also implement the technology by guiding the juniors to use it. The training is needed to make them understand the use of advanced technologies and to ensure that they use them in the right direction. The high-performance computer and internet systems are also essential for developing the technology, and it has been seen that the future will be bright regarding implementing technology (John S. Hollywood, 2018).
Controversial issues criminal justice policymakers face when considering an expansion in the use of DNA in criminal justice
Tthere are various controversial issues that criminal justice policymakers must consider while using DNA in the criminal justice system. The first thing that is criticized during the use of DNA is the fundamental human error, and iIt has been observed that there can be errors in the investigation, and people have to suffer. The issue in technology is also referred to as the error in using DNA because it might be possible that the results do not come correct at the first attempt. It involves several people who are not linked to the crimes but have to go for the fingerprinting tests by courts. However, DNA technology in criminal justice is highly advanced and has multiple benefits compared to disadvantages, but it has always faced significant controversy in the criminal justice system. The criminal justice system has to make sure that if DNA technology is being used, it must be error-free. The controversy has two opinions. There are two schools of thought regarding the use of DNA. One of the classes of experts thinks that DNA can be used to catch the different criminals. It is helpful in the family c ...

In 2016, Gov. Jack Markell signed a long-awaited resolution officially apologizing for the state’s role
in slavery. The apology for slavery illustrates the long and sometimes painful history of the United
States’ struggle with race, from the time of Thomas Jefferson, a slave owner, to President Barack
Obama, the first Black president of the United States.

ecember 6, 2015, marked the 150th anniversary of the abolish-
ment of slavery, when the U.S. Congress ratified the Thirteenth
Amendment to the Constitution. There were numerous events
recognizing the end of slavery, including an official White House event
presided over by President Obama. On February 11, 2016, Delaware
joined eight other states to formally apologize for slavery when Gover-
nor Jack Markell (D) signed the state’s joint resolution. Delaware’s reso-
lution acknowledged its participation in 226 years of
slavery first of both Native Americans and Africans in
the mid-1600s; by the close of the 1700s its entire
slave population was of African descent. The resolu-
tion also included acknowledgments that Delaware
criminalized humanitarian attempts to assist slaves
and that in later times Delaware passed and enforced
Jim Crow laws to deny the rights of African American
citizens for much of the twentieth century.1
On July 29, 2008, the U.S. House of Representa-
tives passed a nonbinding resolution, introduced and
championed by Representative Steven Cohen (D-TN),
which offered a formal apology for the government’s
participation in African American slavery and the
establishment of Jim Crow laws. The resolution said, in part, “African
Americans continue to suffer from the consequences of slavery and Jim
Crow—long after both systems were formally abolished—through
enormous damage and loss, both tangible and intangible, including the
loss of human dignity and liberty, the frustration of careers and profes-
sional lives, and the long-term loss of income and opportunity.”2
On June 18, 2009, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a similar reso-
lution apologizing to African Americans for slavery and Jim Crow. The
Senate resolution said explicitly that the apology could not be used in
support of reparations (or compensation for past wrongs).3
The story of apologies for slavery is a complex one that highlights some of the
underlying dilemmas that face the U.S. political system—how to reconcile its stated
principles of how individuals should be treated with how the government actually
treats and has treated individuals. The apologies are intended to acknowledge the
nation’s complicity in a destructive and immoral institution, at ...

Cancer is the uncontrollable growth of abnormal cells in the human body. It is defined by a malfunction in cellular mechanisms that control cell growth. Cells evade checkpoint controls and begin growing uncontrollably which resulting in an increase in abnormal cells, cancer cells. These cancer cells form a mass tissue known as a tumor. In the United States of America, cancer has been determined to be among the leading causes of mortality rates after cardiovascular conditions, where one in every four deaths is caused by cancer. The most common types of cancer include prostate cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. Risk factors for cancer include excess smoking, radiation exposure, genetics, and environmental pollution. Colon cancer, or colorectal cancer, affects the distal third of the large intestine, the colon, as well as the rectum, chamber in which feces is stored for elimination. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of death in cancer-related issues in the United States in both males and females (Beadnell et al., 2018). This essay explores the physiology and pathophysiology of colon cancer.
Polyps are tissue growths that generally look like small, flat bumps and are generally less than half an inch wide. They are generally non-cancerous growths that can develop with age on the inner wall of the colon or rectum. There are several types of polyps, such as hyperplastic. They are common and have a low risk of turning cancerous. Hyperplastic polyps found in the colon will be removed and biopsied. Pseudo polyps also referred to as inflammatory polyps, usually occur in people suffering from inflammatory bowel disease and are unlike other polyps. This type of polyp occurs due to chronic inflammation as seen in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However, a polyp cells which can turn out to be malignant. Villous adenoma or tubulovillous adenoma polyps carry a high risk of turning cancerous. They are sessile and develop flat on the tissue lining the organs. They might blend within the organ, making polyps not easily identifiable and difficult to locate for treatment. Adenomatous or tubular adenoma polyps have a high chance of being cancerous. When a polyp is found, it must be biopsied, and then will regular screenings and polyp removal will follow.
An adenocarcinoma is a cancer formed in a gland that lines an organ. This cancer impacts the epithelial cells, which are spread throughout the human body. Adenocarcinomas of the colon and rectum make up ninety-five percent of all colon cancers (Chang, 2020). Colon adenocarcinomas usually begin in the mucous lining the spread to different layers. Two subtypes of adenocarcinomas are mucinous adenocarcinoma and signet ring cells. Mucinous adenocarcinomas contain about sixty percent mucus which can cause cancer cells to spread faster and become more hostile than typical adenocarcinomas. Signet ring cell adenocarcinoma is responsible for less than one percent of all colon cancer. It is g ...

SENSE MAKING
Sensemaking refers to an action or a process of making sense where meaning is given to something. Sensemaking is a process through which individuals give meaning to their collective experiences. Sensemaking is also a process of structuring the unknown by inserting stimuli into some framework kinds to enable individuals to understand or comprehend, attribute, to extrapolate and predict the meaning of something. Sensemaking is an activity that allows people to turn the ongoing complexity in the entire world into a situation that can be understood. Sensemaking Therefore, Sensemaking requires articulating the unknown because, in many cases, trying to put meaning to something strange is the only means by which one can understand it. For instance, the occurrence or the origin of COVID-19 in the entire world has been a phenomenon that has disturbed the heads of many trying to understand what it is, where it came from, who caused it, how it can be prevented and how it can be cured. In attempting to understand COVID 19, people came up with the explanations of what it is, what caused it, and that is where the scientists realized that this is a disease that is caused by a virus known as Coronavirus, since the condition merged in the year 2019, the virus was given the name coronavirus 19, and the disease it caused known as COVID 19. This is how sensemaking enables individuals to give meaning to something that can be understood easily by individuals.
The organization that I am familiar with that has experienced a current change in its operations is Starbucks. Starbucks is an American company that is known for its production and sell of coffee products. It was started in 1971 as a coffee selling company where it was majorly involved in roasting, marketing and selling coffee globally. It has more than 300 stores all over the world selling coffee. This organization has sold coffee within its stores since its initiation. However, because of the corona's onset, the management of this organization decided to change its operation to accommodate the changes in the environment depending on the restrictions imposed on businesses by the ministries of health all over the world. Starbucks company reacted to the industry changes brought about by COVID 19, where businesses were required to close their doors to enhance the measures of curbing the spread of coronavirus disease. Thus, the company embraced technology where it introduced Starbucks-pick up only stores that replaced the over 300 stores globally. The new stores required that no one could sit in as they take their coffee. Instead, everyone would be allowed only to take their orders from the store and to avoid congesting people in one place. Starbucks introduced Starbucks pick-up stores that use technology to supply coffee to customers. The business submitted a mobile app ...

By Nathan Witkin
I INTRODUCTION
Rising executive pay is a significant problem that points to a structural
flaw in American corporations. This article presents a solution to that flaw
through which Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) negotiate their pay in
company resources with lower-paid employees. Exploring this solution also
unearths an explanation for capitalism s apparent drive toward inequality and
examines the historical development of corporations and trade unions in the
United States.
The problem is that managers and corporate directors will raise pay at the
top so long as that pay-setting process does not consider the pay of average-
and low-wage workers. The solution is that CEOs and other top executives
negotiate their pay in company resources with employees in a process that
determines the pay and bonuses of both sides. Microeconomic theory indicates
that confronting the tradeoffs of raising executive compensation with other
potential corporate expenditures—by negotiating this compensation with
workers from different parts of the company—will make executive
compensation more efficient.1 Also, historical analysis indicates a pattern in
which executive compensation became aligned with public interest only during
the period in which workers had significant power to negotiate their wages and

The Emergence and
Evolution of the
Multidimensional
Organization
J. Strikwerda
J.W. Stoelhorst
“In terms of its impact, not just on economic activity, but also on human life as a
whole, the multidivisional organizational design must rank as one of the major
innovations of the last century.”—John Roberts1
T
he multidivisional, multi-unit, or M-form, is widely acknowledged
as the most successful organization form of the twentieth century.2
Firms that employ the M-form organize their activities in separate
business units and delegate control over the resources needed to
create economic value to the managers of these units. This organization form is
widespread, is central to the “theory in use” of managers, and serves as the basis
of most accounting systems. However, the organization of productive activities
in many contemporary firms violates the principle that is central to the M-form:
that business units are self-contained. The quest for synergies that has been high
on the corporate agenda since the late 1980s has resulted in the widespread
adoption of corporate account management, shared service centers, and matrix
organizations. As a result, most business units now depend at least in part on
resources that are controlled by other units. This raises fundamental questions
about the status of the M-form in contemporary firms.
Questioning the status of the M-form is not merely a theoretical fancy,
but is high on the agenda of managers as well. In this article, we report on
research that was commissioned by the Foundation for Management Stud-
ies, a Dutch organization of management executives. These practical men and
women shared a fundamental uneasiness about structuring their organizations.
On the one hand, many of them experienced problems with the M-form: high
employee costs, internal battles over resources, lack of standardization, lack of
cooperation, and loss of market opportunities. On the other hand, they did not

see any viable alternatives to the multi-unit organization form. The need to
exploit synergies across business units was widespread, but it was unclear which
organizational designs are most appropriate to achieve this. This led to a research
project to explore the ways in which leading Dutch organizations, including
subsidiaries of foreign multinationals, have adapted the M-form to better exploit
synergies across business units.
As we expected, the results of the study vividly illustrate the fundamen-
tal tension between the need for contemporary firms to exploit synergies and
their need for clear accountability. However, an additional and unexpected
finding was that a number of firms in the study have evolved an organiza-
tional form that signals a new way of res ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Introduction The law enforcement and criminal justice system
of the United States embraces community corrections. It is
because it helps incarcerated individu-
als get back to the community. The main objective of creating
these community corrections is to act as an alternative to
imprisonment to those individuals that are in
jail but has shown positive behaviors and have reformed. As
this approach occurs mainly outside the prison setting, the
authorities enforce strict measures that
restrict the ex-convicts from reoffending and oversee the
correctional process. More so, the departments of probation, do
supervisions and follow-ups to address the
need of the undergoing community program. Usually, court
4. systems make decisions and also enforces sanctions on the
report written by parole officers on if the of-
fenders should be allowed to return to the community. An
offender will have completed the process successfully if they
show signs of mental stability and
changes in behaviors. This paper will review and analyze the
case of Robert, who was incarcerated for drug abuse and armed
robbery, describing why commu-
nity correctional assessment is important for him. Additionally,
we will determine the needs of this person and describe the
evidence-based practices that will enable
him to re-enter society. “Analyzing the case of Robert” Robert
was convicted of drug abuse and armed robbery, and he is about
to complete his term in jail.
He is twenty-five years old, and he has a criminal history and
various past arrests associated with drug possession and
robbery. For him being arrested four times and
incarcerated five times, it is hard to know if he would get back
into society successfully as a fully reformed person. However,
during incarcerations, he has shown

positive change in behaviors by refraining from alcohol and
drugs. Additionally, Robert has struggled with bipolar disorder
in the past and thus he attends regular
counseling sessions. More so, Robert underwent medications,
and he has not shown any signs of repeating past behaviors.
Therefore, community correction will
greatly help Robert during the period of transition. “Why
community correctional assessment is necessary for Robert” It
is important to do community correc-
tional assessment in Robert’s case to ascertain if his claims of
6. behavioral progress, abstinence from the use of heroin, and
mental issues are true. It is a compli-
cated and crucial process that involves investigations of needs
and comprehensive risk and data collection. The facility will
assist these tasks by supervising and moni-
toring the offender to show the risk of recidivism. In addition, it
helps to categorize the offender on the basis of the level of risk,
which is high, moderate, and low.
(Anderson, 2019) With the fact that Robert is serving a fifth
term in jail for various offenses, community correction
assessment is very important as it will prove
beyond reasonable doubt that he is not going to continue with
criminal activities. In addition, correction assessment assists in
changing the lives of offenders before
they get back into the community, and minimize criminal
offenses, and help to transforming the community. Therefore, in
Robert’s case, this procedure is
mandatory as it will help assess his behaviors and make a
decision whether he should be granted parole, incarcerated, or
whether he should serve the remaining
term under probation. It is also significant in the collection of
data and analyzing of the offender’s behaviors outside the
prison. It assists in the prediction of the
offender’s behaviors in the social environment. (Anderson,
2019) Robert says that he has abstained from alcohol and drug
use and promise to refrain from substance
abuse during his transition period. It is hard to establish this,
taking into account the nature of prison security. Therefore, he
may be giving an excuse to get another
corrections facility other than prison and assessment is very
important to know and determine his attitudes, mental issues, or
7. even behavioral change. (Anderson,
2019
Use of community correctional assessment to determine
Robert’s needs Correction assessment, which is done by the
help of psychiatric, tools for abuse screening,
and help of other professionals has an important role in
assessing the risk level of the offender and treatment methods
that should be applied. More so, it will help in
making decisions for those who should undergo community
corrections. (Anderson, 2019) From the assessment, he requires
support from the community and
his family and psychological needs such as therapy and
counseling. Robert suffered from bipolar disorder which could
be the result of drug abuse and stress.
He also needs medication, to treat his depressive issues which
are due to recidivism. He also requires compassion and support
from the community. That is,
they allow him to live as obedient person after the transition.

“Evidence-based practices” Evidence-based practices are
achieved through scientific research in the criminal justice
system. They are applicable or rather help in
the reduction of recidivism. In addition, the choice of evidence -
based practices relies on the needs and risks of the offender.
Therefore, given this
individual’s recidivism risk level and criminal history, the
community correction suggested evidence-based practices are
rehabilitation and stress management.
Rehabilitation prevents the person from using alcohol, drugs,
and all illegal substances. Many scientists recommend the
rehabilitation approach as it produces the de-
sired results. For example, individuals found to be addicted and
placed in a rehabilitation center, are mostly found to recover
from the addiction. Additionally, stress
management is recommended because it will help in reducing
depressive episodes and manic disorders. It will assist him in
forgetting his previous ordeal before re-
entering society. (Mitchell et al., 2016, p. 132) Conclusion This
paper has analyzed the case of Robert. It has established or
discussed the significance of commu-
nity correctional assessment, and the risk factors of recidivism.
Looking at Robert’s history, he is supposed to undergo the
correctional assessment to know his
needs and establish the possible and necessary solutions to his
problems. And therefore, the solutions suggested are scientific-
based and offer the best outcomes.
