For this assignment, you will examine a particular case within a  special population, and then develop a broad understanding of the role  of the forensic psychologist in a correctional setting.

First, you must choose a unique case study or special population as a whole. Some examples are listed below:

  • Selecting a case from the headlines such as a recent high profile  criminal case that has a clear intersection with mental health.
  • Making up a case example based on your interests, prior case examples you have read, or a mixture of all of the above.
  • Selecting a population as a whole that we may or may not have touched on in class including, but not limited to:
    • sex offenders
    • violent offenders
    • military offenders
    • women offenders
    • juvenile offenders
    • offenders with substance use issues
    • offenders with life sentences
    • high profile offenders
    • prior law enforcement who are incarcerated

After you have selected a case study, describe the particular  characteristics of the individual’s population and what particular  issues they may deal with in a correctional setting. Be sure to address  the following:

  • Relationships with other offenders and staff
  • Possible issues with authority
  • Treatment-related concerns
  • Relevant research on this population and its interaction with the correctional system

Next, you will discuss different aspects of correctional settings and  how you could influence this individual or population as a forensic  psychologist. Be sure to include the following:

  • Treatment options available for your particular individual or group’s needs.
    • Include treatment options while in jail, prison, or community corrections.
    • Discuss the availability and flow of treatment as the individual or  population moves from the correctional environment to the community.
    • Be sure to discuss the efficacy of treatment options available.
  • Other ways you may affect this individual as a mental health practitioner, administrator, or forensic psychology researcher.
    • This may include ideas for new initiatives, research, or systematic change
    • In discussing this you should identify areas where change is needed, what the issues are, and potential steps for the future

Additionally, discuss your overall impression of the mental health  services available in different correctional settings, and then evaluate  the degree to which your population’s needs are met.

Finally, be sure to include how the treatment program relates to  overall rehabilitation and recidivism in the community once released.

Summarize key details about the case to date. What are the most important issues affecting SEIIC’s HRM? Your summary should be no more than one to two paragraphs.

/in /by

With significant operations around the world, Savannah Engineering, Inspection and Insurance Company (SEIIC) is truly a global company. Its most significant international operations are in the European Union (EU) countries and Asia. Growth in China has been particularly rapid over the last five years. Because of the highly technical nature of its business, SEIIC has had a difficult time getting the people with the right skills in the right places and then keeping their skills up to date. The company has worked hard at identifying and hiring local talent, but the efforts have not been entirely successful. To the extent that it can, it has tried to accommodate local needs in its HRM system. However, it has found it difficult to carry out some of its initiatives because of the different ways of working in different areas. It has been difficult for people who transfer from one area to another to deal with the different HRM policies and procedures.

As a part of the overall review of HRM operations, the company is interested in identifying key factors that differentiate its global and domestic operations and in understanding how it can develop a more global approach to HRM.

  • Summarize key details about the case to date. What are the most important issues affecting SEIIC’s HRM? Your summary should be no more than one to two paragraphs. (Imagine that you are riding down the elevator with SEIIC’s CEO and she asks you to provide a high-level summary of what you’ve discovered so far. You have thirty seconds from the time she gets on the elevator until the time she gets off. What would you say?)
  • With a focus primarily on the EU and Asian areas of operations, assess key factors that SEIIC should pay attention to in revising its approach to international HRM. Consider, for example, the cultural, economic system, and legal and labor relations similarities and differences in these areas of operation when compared to domestic (United States) operations.
  • Analyze how these differences between EU, Asian, and domestic areas of operation may affect specific HRM activities including recruiting and staffing, training and development, compensation and benefits, performance management, and labor relations.
  • Finally, justify how SEIIC should approach implementing HRM around the globe. Should it try to provide essentially a standardized, global HRM system or a highly specialized HRM system that is tailored to each location or region where it operates? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and which would you recommend?

Evaluate and critique the methods/results/implications of the study (e.g., “The researchers do not address XYZ, how does this affect the study findings?”;

/in /by

You need to summarize and generate a critical question based on the assigned readings for class discussion.

High quality, thoughtful questions demonstrate your understanding of the reading and require you to:

• ●  Evaluate and critique the methods/results/implications of the study (e.g., “The researchers do not address XYZ, how does this affect the study findings?”; “What would happen if researchers used XYZ instead of XXX?”; “The findings suggest XYZ but could this be just due to XXX?”)

• ●  Apply the concepts/ideas/findings from the study to different situations (e.g., “Will they be able to replicate the findings if they…?”; “The researchers suggest XYZ. How can this be applied to real world situations where…”)

• ●  Compare and contrast ideas between readings (e.g., “How does XYZ from Study A relate to XXX from Study B?”)

Comprehension of the reading: Demonstrated an in- depth, thorough understanding of the reading. (1.5 pages)

Quality of questions: Asked an insightful, appropriate, and in- depth question, which leads to a thorough, interesting, and useful discussion.  Discuss the problematic nature of attempting to define popular culture. Why is it such a difficult subject to find a working definition? Give examples of some of the issues encountered when attempting to define and study this complex subject. This paper should be 1-2 pages, in APA style, utilizing the college’s library resources. One scholarly article as a minimum should be included in your essay.

Explain what the psychologist can conclude about the relationship between different types of therapy and anxiety.

/in /by

Scenario: Imagine that a psychologist working with veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder wants to compare the effectiveness of several therapies focused on reducing symptoms of anxiety. The psychologist randomly sampled 20 veterans who recently returned from combat and randomly assigned each of them to receive one of four interventions for 8 weeks. A survey was used to measure the participants’ anxiety at the end of the 8 weeks. Higher anxiety scores indicate more anxiety. You can find the data for this Assignment in the Weekly Data Set forum found on the course navigation menu.

By Day 7

To complete this Assignment, submit answers to the following. Use SPSS to compare the mean anxiety scores with a one-way ANOVA.

  1. Before computing any analyses, state the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis in words (not formulas).
  2. Identify the factor and dependent variable.
  3. Name the levels of the factor.
  4. State the degrees of freedom between groups and explain how you calculated it by hand.
  5. State the degrees of freedom within groups and explain how you calculated it by hand.
  6. Identify the obtained F value using SPSS and report it in your answer document.
  7. Identify the p value using SPSS and report it in your answer document.
  8. Explain whether the F test is statistically significant. Explain how you know.
  9. Explain what the psychologist can conclude about the relationship between different types of therapy and anxiety.
  10. Should the psychologist conduct a post hoc test? Why or why not? If post hoc testing is needed, conduct a Tukey HSD post hoc analysis in SPSS. Explain what the results tell you.

Be sure to fully explain the rationale for your answer to each question, including evidence from the text and Learning Resources.
