Probation and Punishment

Probation and Punishment

In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Robert Donovan, a Jurisville probation officer, discusses the intricacies of probation. Kris, the defendant, is offered an
intensive supervised probation plan to follow. Brennan Brooke, a senior criminologist, discusses the tailoring of the inmate to the appropriate facility. Finally,
Orlando Boyce, a sergeant at the fictional Deephall correctional facility, discusses measures that could conceivably make prison life effective and thus decrease the
likelihood of recidivism.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

Outline your findings from your review of the file of Kris, for whom Robert is considering probation. State whether or not your results from the file review match
Robert’s. Explain two (2) instances in which your views and those of Robert are both similar and different.
Develop a profile of the so-called perfect candidate to participate in an intensive supervised probation program. The profile should contain at least three (3)
attributes that you believe make this defendant the perfect candidate for this type of probation.
Defend or critique the strategy of matching the inmate to the correctional facility as a response to the legal concept of cruel and unusual punishment. Provide a
rationale for your position with concrete examples.
Defend or critique whether programs and amenities geared to making prison life effective—which run the gamut from hiring extra officers, to counseling and therapy, to
building a garden—are time and taxpayer money well spent.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Psychology Phobia

Psychology Phobia

My phobia paper reasearch is Necrophobia

Necrophobia is the fear of death or dead things. This is a very common fear, especially after the loss of a loved one. This fear is a sort of defense mechanism of the

Theoretical Case Study Case of Margarita

Theoretical
Case Study Case of Margarita

Case Study: The Case of Margarita, Part 2
Intake Information (background for the Part I assignment)
Margarita is a 26-year-old Puerto Rican woman. She was born in Puerto Rico and moved to the United States as a teenager. Her husband is African American and has lived
in the United States his entire life. The couple has been married for five years. They have two children together, a boy age three and a girl age one.
Margarita is seeking counseling due to reported “anger outbursts.” She states that she becomes so angry with her husband that she thinks of physically harming him,
although she does not remember anything that he does specifically to provoke her anger. She denies any physical violence but has gone as far as grabbing a knife and
threatening him. She does respond to his verbal attempts to calm her. She reports feeling relief after the “explosion.”
Margarita has an MBA and is very intelligent. Recently, she was accepted to law school and will be starting in three months. Her husband holds a prominent position in
their community and he is 10 years older than she. She states that he never gets angry with her and just tells her that “things will get better.” In the assessment,
you discover that it appears he is somewhat of an enabler (minimizing her outbursts), but he is very good to her. Margarita does admit that she is fearful that her
husband will leave her due to her behavior. She reports that they do not communicate well, he maintains the house, and they rarely experience intimacy or sex.
Margarita also discusses feeling depressed most of the time, but she has to put on a “game face” to do her work. Her husband and her parents are the only ones who see
her depressed side. She holds an important position with the community development board in the county where she lives. She also reports that she often experiences
anxiety in social situations, avoids going places where she may be socially judged, and has no friends, but she does feel confident in structured work projects where
she is in charge. She also reports having panic attacks on occasion and has had thoughts of suicide. She often thinks that she is not pretty enough or nice enough to
have friends, although she truly wants to have quality friendships. She is always in a mode of self-doubt and admits to constant negative internal dialogue.
She denies any drug or alcohol abuse or history. There is no physical or sexual abuse in her past. She states she saw a counselor about six times in college after the
death of her best friend. She states she felt she should have been the one who died in the car crash and not her friend, although she was not even involved in the
accident. She did not feel that the counseling was helpful. At that time, she took Paxil but had an extreme negative reaction. She is reluctant to take medication at
this time.

Case Notes from Sessions 1–3 (background for the Part II assignment)
Following her intake session, Margarita made a commitment to six sessions of therapy with you. She responded well to your counseling interventions during the first
three sessions, and you see evidence that you and Margarita have established a good rapport. She has been on time for her sessions and has openly discussed experiences
she has had at work and at home, adding a little more detail each week. She has reported that she continues to feel overwhelmingly strong anger at times, and she still
feels quite despondent about this and her life in general, although she strongly denies suicidal intentions.
In the second session, you initiated a discussion about cultural differences you have with Margarita, giving her an opportunity to articulate how she might be
concerned about your understanding of her (based on your ethnicity, gender, age, or background). She said that she is confident that you can understand her, based on
your interactions so far, but if she develops concerns she will let you know. You are resolved to remain vigilant to evidence of breaches in rapport and address these
immediately, should they occur.
At the end of the third session, you and Margarita identified some specific goals that she would like to work on to “move the ball forward” in her life. You then
prioritized these goals and asked her to think about them before your next session to be sure they were the best fit for what she most wants to change. You are
beginning your fourth session with Margarita, ready to work on her priorities for change in her life, from your chosen theoretical approach.

Now this as if you attended the event, write an evaluation of the event planning process and the core business practices associated with executing the event.
It needs to be 750-1,000 word written evaluation of the event. You will compile your stakeholder (attached document) interview information, event artifacts, and
observations into a written report that summarizes the (AAU Basketball Tournament) event, assesses event planning effectiveness, and offers feedback and suggestions
for enhancing the event in the future. Address the following in your evaluation.
Explain the role that core business practices played in the planning and execution of the event. Use stakeholder interview feedback (attatched) and your own
observations related to event promotion, organization, and execution to discuss how well the event coordinator met the event objectives. Cite specific event artifacts,
data, and examples in your analysis.
As you think about the execution of the event and the planning skills that were utilized, how effective was the event planner in executing the event? Identify specific
strengths and provide suggestions for ways the event could be enhanced in the future. Identify the most important lessons you learned from observing the event planning
process and execution.
I will include the documents to describe the planned event and you can write the evaluation from the prospective of the planning because the event has not taking
placed. It is still in the planning and preparation so write the evealuation of seeing the development of the event and how you think it will look.

Prepare this assignment according to APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
Stakeholder Interview
The purpose of this assignment is for you to talk with two event stakeholders such as participants, volunteers, sponsors, or community membersto learn about their
experiences associated with the sports related event you have selected. You will use the information gained from the interviewsas part of your evaluation of the event
planning process and execution.

1. How did you get involved with or interested in this particular event?
Got involved through the organization DFW as a parent and team dad. I help to build up the men side of the volunteers.
2. What role(s) did you have in the event (participant, volunteer, spectator, sponsor, community member, etc.)?
I am a Volunteer

3. Did you have a positive experience being part of this event? Explain why.
Though this even has not begun I feel that it should be a great success not only because of what it is sponsoring but also because of the planners that have put a lot
into this event.
4. Do you know the event’s main purpose/objective?
The main purpose is to not only have some great basketball but also inform and or introduce the community to a diseasescalled Lupus that is called the NINJA disease
because it attacks but you can never pin point it.

5. Do you think the event achieved its main purpose/objective? Explain why.
I believe that it will not only because of the great basketball being played but in most cases there is someone you know that is suffering from this disease and we
want to do whatever we can to help them fight.

6. In your opinion, was the event well planned and executed? Support your opinion with specific reasons, facts and examples.
From looking at the planners schedule and blueprint of this event I think it should be done rather smoothly. Even if there is a potential for something to go wrong
they seem to be prepared.

7. Did you use any form or social media/technology as part of your involvement in the event including getting general information, registration, event schedules,
and post-event information?
The use of social media should bring a great number to this tournament as well as a great support in raising money and awareness of the disease.

8. How would you describe the effectiveness of the use of social media and overall promotion for this event? Was the event information easy to find and clearly
presented with a consistent message?
Just as I said in the answer above, there was a great deal of work inviolved in getting the word out using the internet to get the word out.

9. What is your opinion of the event location/venue? Was is adequate for the event?
I think using the local University is a great idea. It helps them to even get some eyes on their program and their campus. As they get to play on a top-notch sport
facility.

10. Did you encounter any difficulties or frustrations during your event experience (i.e. getting information, registration process, logistical issues, during the
event itself, post-event)?
I don’t expect any issues but I will be working the gate so it may become a little chaotic at times but I think that with strategic planning we will be ready for
anything.

11. To your knowledge, were there specific partners or sponsors associated with the event, and do you believe that partnership/sponsorship was evident to
participants? Why?
Yes partners are the University of Houston Women’s Basketball and also the Lupus Foundation
12. What was the best part/aspect/quality of the event?
I am hoping that it is not just the competitive atmosphere but also the gathering of people to fight this disease because I family member that is affected by this
disease.

13. Compared to other similar events you’ve been involved with, how would you rank this one on a scale form 1-10?
I can compare the preparation to others that I have worked and it is a lot of work in trying to get this to work and I hope that this event can happen like it has been
planned on paper.

14. Would you be involved with this event again? Why?
I definitely want to be involve in more of these events even with just working in the planning.

15. What could the event coordinator do differently to improve the event in the future?
In the planning, I think he could get more volunteers to help in getting more sponsors. Also, I think that for the future they may won’t to try and invite more teams.
I think that we could work on getting teams from Louisiana. Those AAU fans travel with their teams and would bring even more revenue as well coverage.
