Competing Interests in Public Policy Contemporary public policy often is the result of a complex series of interactions among a large group of actors. Legislative bodies and government agencies are important players in policy formulation and implementation; however, they are not the only entities involved. There is a multitude of interested parties that may be involved in a public policy issue. For example, education policy issues might involve National Departments of Education, local departments of education, local school boards, teachers, and parents. In addition, there may be other competing interests such as church groups, atheist groups, or publishing groups, which believe that certain subjects should or should not be taught in schools. The interaction among interested parties—referred to as and considered to be competing interests—may be harmonious or conflicting, but their collective involvement in the policy network may have a major effect on outcomes of public policy. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the article “Using Collaboration as a Governance Strategy: Lessons from Six Watershed Management Programs” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how competing interests might collaborate in order to influence the formulation of public policy. Select an issue related to your specialization or one with which you are familiar. Identify competing interests related to your chosen issue. Think about the role that competing interests might play in advocating and formulating public policy related to the issue you selected. With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 4 a brief description of the issue you selected and the competing interests involved. Then, explain the role that the competing interests play in advocating and formulating public policy related to your particular issue. If you live outside the United States, analyze a policy issue in your country along with the competing interests that help shape it. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. .

In this course, you have learned that social policies are formulated to solve social problems considered important by a mass of voters, media, and political actors. Social policy is but one solution to the problem—not necessarily the most rational, effective, or socially just. Social policies are human creations and, as such, can be changed. In this paper you will analyze a social policy as a tool for social justice. Research one social welfare policy using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Analyze the policy and address the following: The social problem addressed by the policy What is/are the problem/s to be solved in the most fundamental terms? What is the history of the problem/s in the United States? What are the various theories about the causes of the problem/s? Based on this, what do you think is/are the most important causes/s of the problem/s? The policy objectives, value premises, expectation, and target populations Policy objectives—overt and covert objectives: What are the stated objectives of the policy? In your judgment, what are the covert objectives of the policy? What are the values underlying the policy objectives? What values are revealed by the overt and covert objectives? What did the policymakers expect would be the result of the policy? Target segments of the population at whom policy is aimed: Discuss the direct target of the policy in terms of size and other demographic characteristics. Who are the indirect targets of the policy? Effects of the policy Intended effects: What effects did the lawmakers intend? Unintended effects: What effects did the lawmakers not foresee? Distinguish between short-range (less than five years) and long-range (over five years) effects of the policy. Implications of the Policy Changes in the distribution of material resources: Are there any changes to the distribution of material resources, including income and other tangible benefits, as a result of the policy for direct or indirect target groups? Changes in distribution of services, rights, and statuses: Are there any changes in services, rights, or statuses as a result of the policy? Alternative Policies What alternative policy/policies would more effectively address the social problem discussed in the policy analysis while advancing social justice?

Public Policy and Social Change One of the goals of public policy is to improve the lives of citizens. In today's society many special interest groups, government agencies, community stakeholders, and citizens battle over various public policy issues that might effect social change. Effecting social change, however, does not happen easily. Those who create public policies must remain dedicated to their social issue and be prepared to engage in social disagreements and political action, as well as be able to work within government regulations. Creating public policy also requires individuals to take on various roles and remain actively involved in a social issue. Some roles include administrators, public relations, writers of public policies, and political activists. Each of these roles is vital to the creation of new public policies or changing existing ones. Consider what role related to public policy you envision adopting and how you might effect positive social change. For this Discussion, consider what role you would like to play related to the creation or changing of public policies and ways in which you might effect positive social change in the future. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the article, "Social Networks and American Politics: Introduction to the Special Issue." Pay particular attention to the dissemination of information and the impact of social networks on the American political system in creating social change. Review the article, "Interactions Between Social Movements and US Political Parties." Consider the needs of special interest groups, the challenges to creating public policies, and ways in which public policies can effect positive social change. Think about your future role in public policy and the ways in which you might effect positive social change. With these thoughts in mind: Post by Thursday 3/29/18 a 500-word explanation of your future role in the creation of public policy on a local, national, or global level. Then explain two ways in which you may effect positive social change in that role. Finally, explain one way in which communities could influence public policy to effect positive social change. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. ...

Additional tips: The purpose of the final assignment is for you to analyze an existing policy (at the federal, state, or local level) and discuss its impact on a social problem. You aren’t proposing a policy, but analyzing an existing policy of interest to you. Be sure to take enough time reading about the policy you selected to thoroughly understand it in an in-depth way and be able to confidently answer the questions in the assignment. Please take time to carefully read each question in the assignment and be sure to answer it. As you proof-read your paper, take the opportunity to again review the assignment and double check that you have thoroughly but succinctly provided the information for each applicable question. Please make sure you are using APA style in your final paper, including the title page with name and dates. The assignment is 8 – 10 pages long because that’s roughly the length of a comprehensive social policy analysis. Please try to refrain from adding more words than necessary to stretch the length. Proof-reading more than once is a great idea to try to catch sentences that aren’t sentences and words that are inadvertently misused. Read it out loud. I understand that the U of MD’s writing lab is available to help those interested in strengthening their writing skills – don’t hesitate to take advantage of it! My expectation is that direct quotes be kept to a minimum in that graduate-level writing involves synthesizing ideas and then presenting them in your OWN words. For those quotes you do use, please be sure to use the correct citation and quotation marks. Not doing so may be considered plagiarism and will be responded to accordingly. Assignment 2: Policy Analysis. DUE: 11/28 For this assignment, you will examine a social policy at the local, state or federal level by the legislative, executive, or judicial branch of government. The policy may be addressing a social issue that directly or indirectly affects the clients served by your field placement, agency of employment, your community, or who you plan to work with after graduation. Drawing from class materials and external sources, write an 8-10 page policy analysis (double-spaced, 12 point font, with 1” margins). Your paper should address the following: Describe the social issue and identify the population-at-risk. Summarize existing research on this social issue. What is the historical context of the policy? How did the social issue come to the attention of policymakers? Who were/are the key actors who made the issue “legitimate” and mobilized support for or against the policy? Were there previous policy attempts to address this issue? Describe the social policy, answering the following questions: What kinds of benefits are offered? What are the bases of social allocation? (who is eligible) How are the benefits to be delivered? How are the benefits financed? What is the purpose/goal of the social policy? What assumptions about problem ...

Application: Influence on Public Policy Newspapers frequently feature stories on how various democratic principles and processes contribute to democratic governance and impact a wide variety of issues, ranging from the distribution of flu vaccines to the appropriate legal venue for terrorist trials. Public policies that are formulated to address such issues come about as the result of the influence and application of various democratic principles and processes. In addition, competing interests and factions engage in the democratic process using tools such as lobbying or elections in an effort to leverage public policy. As you think about democratic principles and processes for this Assignment, take note of where you see their influence in recent public policy issues. To prepare for this Assignment: Review the article “War v. Justice: Terrorism Cases, Enemy Combatants, and Political Justice in U.S. Courts” in this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of key democratic principles explained. Consider how the democratic principles in the article might influence public policy. Review the articles “Strategic Lobbying: Demonstrating How Legislative Context Affects Interest Groups’ Lobbying Tactics” and “The Study of Party Factions as Competitive Political Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about the democratic processes used by lobbying groups and political factions to influence public policy. Select a public policy issue related to your specialization or to an area with which you are familiar. Select three democratic principles and/or processes that you think might influence the formulation of public policy related to your issue. Reflect on how these principles and processes of democracy influence the formulation of the public policy you selected. The Assignment (2–3 pages): Briefly describe the public policy issue you selected for this Assignment. Using three democratic principles and/or processes of your choice, explain how you think these democratic principles and/or processes influence the formulation of public policy.

Conflict Resolution at the St. Clare Hospital The St. Clare Hospital was founded in 1988. In the past few years, the revenues have dropped steadily to a point where CEO James Edwards is considering cost control to improve the organization’s bottom line. Mr. Edwards understands physicians play a critical role in controlling cost, but they do not have a great interest in cooperating with him to sustain the viability of the hospital. Mr. Edwards decides to hire Wendy Jones as the chief operating officer and empower her to cut costs for the hospital. The first measure taken by Ms. Jones is to outsource the interpretation of imaging readings and fire the radiologist Dr. Harris. By doing so, the hospital would save $160,000 per year. However, after two weeks, the hospital sees 18% inaccuracy rates in outsourced reading reports. The hospital might face legal liabilities from inaccurate readings. Mr. Edwards and Ms. Jones want to stay with the plan to control costs, but the physicians are furious. The medical director, Dr. Wiseman, gathers all staff physicians to a call for action. Write a four-to six-page double-spaced paper (excluding title and reference pages), addressing the following: Describe types of conflict identified in this case. Explain conflict management styles evidenced in this case. Propose a conflict resolution strategy to be used. Recommend strategies to reduce cost and legal liabilities. .

The Virtual Criminal Justice Alliance Background For the past 11 months, the Virtual Police Department has applied a variety of investigative resources and strategies and is prepared to bring a number of criminal charges against the members of the Very Bad Bike Club. These started out as investigations of individual calls-for-service, complaints and criminal investigations. They merged into a collective effort as the pattern of activities and participants began to form. Based on the investigations, the department believes it has probable cause to arrest and charge nearly every one of the 63 VBBC members for conspiracy to manufacture illegal drugs, conspiracy to sell illegal drugs, and participation in a criminal enterprise. Additionally, numerous individual VBBC members can be charged with combinations of individual criminal violations, including possession of illegal drugs, illegal possession of firearms, robbery, attempted robbery, aggravated assault, and attempted murder. Despite the confidence the Chief of the VPD has in these cases, no information has been conveyed to the Office of the District Attorney nor has there been any involvement with the Grand Jury. As far as the Chief of the Police is concerned, this is the chance to destroy the VBBC once and for all. The VBBC has plagued Virtual for over a decade. Efforts to stop criminal activity by members of the VBBC have been made almost exclusively by the police department, with little or no support from the rest of the Virtual criminal justice system. In the past most criminal charges brought to the Virtual prosecutor’s office by police detectives have resulted in outright dismissal for lack of probable cause or plea bargained agreements that reduce potential felony charges to misdemeanors with payable fines. There have been however, two prior instances of massive arrests of VBBC members. Approximately 7 years ago raids resulted in the confiscation of drugs and weapons and the ultimate conviction of 12 VBBC members. Six of these members are on parole and still reside in Virtual; two others are currently in the county detention center awaiting trial for new criminal charges and four others are confined to the State prison near Virtual. A similar sweep three years ago produced nearly identical results. These sweeps appear to have been ineffective. In short, the VBBC has a network of .

Conduct Disorder The relationship between various Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) diagnoses and criminal behavior has long been examined and debated. One of the more controversial questions centers on the stigma of certain comorbid diagnoses. Conduct disorder is a childhood disorder characterized by aggressive or destructive behavior that significantly disrupts the child or adolescent’s environment—school, home, and relationships. This disorder has long been classified as an early stage in the trajectory of ongoing criminal or antisocial behavior. However, some studies have found that not all individuals diagnosed with conduct disorder go on to commit crimes later in life. There has been concern about labeling youth with a diagnosis of conduct disorder, which is why this is an important topic to understand when working with court-involved youth. Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet respond to the following: Describe the diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder and other common comorbid diagnoses. Explain the stigma attached to a diagnosis of conduct disorder. Examine how a diagnosis of conduct disorder can impact treatment services provided to youth. Examine whether youth diagnosed with conduct disorder are viewed or treated differently in the legal system. Give reasons for your positions. Support your statements with scholarly references and appropriate examples. Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Conceptually, system concept diagrams describe the interaction of a system with its environment. Practically, system context diagrams are recommended for the following phases of IT problem solving: PROJECT PLANNING -- to visually describe initial project scope to system owners, system users, and the project team. This serves as a "visual contract" to manage scope through the remainder of the project. SYSTEM ANALYSIS -- to visually describe requirements for SYSTEM INTERFACES to system users and the project team. SYSTEM DESIGN -- to visually describe technology constraints and decisions for all system interfaces for the benefit of system users, system designers, and system builders. SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION -- to visually describe conversion requirements for the project team and system owners (not covered in class; and hence, not required in this assignment. This is included here only as a placeholder for course improvement). ASSIGNMENT - Using the UML Context Diagram Profile, develop a full SET of system context diagrams Your system, and hence its context diagrams, must exhibit at least two of the four types of integrating interfaces described and demonstrated in class: user interfaces (also known as human-computer interfaces (HCI) and the user experience (UX) system interfaces (to and from legacy systems) database interfaces (to databases that may be used or update, but whose table structures are considered out of scope) control interfaces (to machines, appliances, or devices -- for "real time systems") Your system must demonstrate all four types if they are applicable to your problem domain. .
