This is the relevance for my plan, please summarize and expand:
Police officers and those in the public safety sector put their lives on the line everyday to ensure the safety of the public. Strategic plans are designs by law enforcement to deal with societies issues, all while ignoring those

Superficial type of relationship

/in /by

Scenario One
Charles, a 28-year old Native American man, had been drinking heavily and had an argument with his ex-girlfriend. He threatened to burn her house down. A short time later he set fire to some cardboard boxes on the porch causing charring to the wood before she could put it out. Charles then tried to light a door on fire with a lighter before running to his truck. Charles started up his truck and started ramming the vehicle owned by his ex-girlfriend. The ex-girlfriend indicated that she feared for her life.

— Is there any indication that this scenario represented an intimate partner violence situation? What are your own thoughts about this scenario? What assessment, intervention and prevention strategies might you consider for Charles? Integrate the reading materials and evidence-based research to support your discussion, citing in APA format

Scenario Two
Gerald, a 35-year old African American man, came from a large family of nine children. His relationship with his father was superficial. Men worked to take care of the family back then; they did not have time to play with children! When his father came home from work, he wanted his dinner and beer; no conversation and no trouble from the wife or kids. His mother had a temper; she rarely acquiesced to her husbands’ demands for a timely dinner or quiet house. They yelled and fought frequently. Typically, it would stop with mom crying and hurt from a backhand or push to the ground. It made Gerald bristle to see his mother treated like that.
It was from this upbringing that Gerald vowed not to live like his parents. He would never hit his wife … Marriage came, along with a few children. There was never enough money to pay the bills and he was never good enough, or so he felt. His wife became increasingly demanding. He drank to drown out the noise. Then it happened— he gave his wife a backhand. It was the only thing he could think to do.

— What theoretical explanations for intimate partner violence does this scenario describe? What are your own thoughts about this scenario? What assessment, intervention and prevention strategies might you consider for Gerald? Integrate the reading materials and evidence-based research to support your discussion, citing in APA format

Scenario Three
Susan, a 15-year old Latina, began running away from home, but was caught and returned. Her parents were alarmed at the behavior problems that were surfacing. She was getting into fights at school with other girls and had been suspended on two occasions. In an individual therapy session, Susan divulged that her parents are mutually violent on a regular basis. She tries to block out the screaming and fighting with music, but she can still hear them. She once tried to break up a fight, but regrets that decision.

— What are some of the questions that you would want to be answered by this teenager? What are the current concerns you might have? Do you think Susan’ situation is a form of child abuse? What assessment, intervention and prevention strategies might you consider for Susan and her family?

Scenario Four
Cindy, a 42-year old woman, fell deeply in love with and married Jim, who is 10 years her senior. It was Cindy’s second marriage. Her first husband died 5 years before she met Jim. Both Cindy and Jim are of Islamic descent. Cindy had two children by her first husband and one more since she and Jim married. They own their own home and both hold professional jobs. Shortly after the birth of their daughter, things started getting tense. Cindy felt like she was walking on eggshells because Jim would get angry about the most insignificant things. One day he flew into a rage and hit her; he pulled her across the room by her hair. Afterward he was so sorry, he promised to change. He bought her a gift. Things got really good, like when they had first met—it was great! About 10 months later, he started getting cranky again.

— What are your concerns about this scenario? What do you believe may likely happen next? What referrals might you give Cindy to protect herself and the children? If Jim were willing, what referrals might you suggest to Jim. What assessment, intervention and prevention strategies might you consider for this family?

Scenario Five
Brian, a self-identified gay man, obtained a restraining order in the state of California against his former partner, Tom. The provisions of the court order require that Tom must refrain from abusing, threatening, or attempting to harm Brian in any way. Further, Tom is ordered not to contact Brian or come near his residence. Brian decided to move to another state in order to start a new life without fear. He has learned that Tom is looking for him and he wonders what to do.

Do you see this as a stalking situation? What assessment, intervention and prevention strategies might you consider for Brian? Integrate the reading materials and evidence-based research to support your discussion, citing in APA format.

Scenario Six
Jill, a 25-year old Southeast Asian woman raised in the Philippines, has recently moved in together with the police officer, Al, that she had been dating. Because of his shift work and demanding overtime schedule, he bought her a cell phone so that they could keep in touch during the day. One day, she had gone shopping and forgot to turn the phone on. When Al came home, he was furious and started accusing her of cheating on him. He was yelling and throwing things around the house. Jill was very angry and yelled back at him, demanding that he leave her house. Al responded by pushing her down; then, he started to kick her repeatedly. When Al left, Jill went to the hospital and received treatment for broken ribs. She was frightened; after all, he is a police officer!

object analysis

Unit Object Analysis Assignment: Art History

The Unit object analysis assignment is a short (2-page) research paper on the object of your choice based on the content of the Unit information. The object you choose must be part of the unit content or it will not be accepted.

Once you choose the object you should start with basic research from the course textbook. You can use online sources such as art history websites and Wikipedia to collect basic, common-knowledge information. Once you have learned about your object through these sources, you will need to move on to scholarship. Find articles written about your object through the library databases. The author of the article must be an expert (Professor/Ph.D) and the publication must be scholarly (typically published by a University). Be sure to read the original article as article/book reviews are not acceptable.

The minimum requirement is a reference to one scholar/article with citation. If you choose two articles, written by different authors to include in your final analysis, this will improve your grade and the strength of the essay. These articles must identify why your object is significant. The authors may agree or disagree either is fine. You are to identify their argument and how it relates to your object. Then, offer a concise explanation of how they agree or disagree and why.

Your object analysis essay should be organized as follows:

Introduce the object using relevant vocabulary (narrative, material/technique, location/time period, etc). This section will be based on common knowledge and should be packed with specifics (names, dates, events, vocabulary).

Next, discuss the cultural context. How does your object relate to the time/place in which it was created? Patron/original audience? Original location? Function?

Finally, Scholarship! You can use the following format

(authors name), professor of (?) at the University of (?), in their article (title) published by (publisher) in (date) states that the significance of (chosen object) is (thesis statement) based on (proof). (citation) In contrast, (authors name) professor of (?) at the University of (?), in their article (title) published by (publisher) in (date) states that the significance of (chosen object) is (thesis statement) based on (proof).(citation) Theses scholars disagree on the significance of the object due to (explanation). This difference is based on (new discoveries, date of publication, different methodology, etc.)

This assignment satisfies the research component of your grade, you must include a citation for the ideas/opinions (directly quoted or paraphrased) of you scholars (footnote is preferred) as well as a bibliography identifying the articles. These are required and essays not including these components will not be graded.
