/in /by

Overview: For this assignment, you will describe three ethnic and gender diversity issues in policing including ways to resolve them.

Instructions:

In a paper discuss the following:

• Give a brief overview of what are ethnic and gender diversities.

• Give three examples of ethnic and gender diversity issues in policing

• Your reference page will contain the title of the reference and links or page numbers where it can be found.

In this activity, you will begin to develop your online library search skills that will enable you to tap into the rich resources in the Northcentral Library. The Library’s collection includes extensive holdings in scholarly articles and book chapters–all the information you will need to do your coursework and research. While it may take some practice to get used to conducting online library searches, you will find that the results you get far surpass anything you could get from just searching the internet. Library resources tend to be more authoritative, current, reliable, and accurate than resources gleaned from an Internet search. With Library searches, you can set your search options to find full text articles (not just abstracts or summaries), limit your search to a certain timeframe, and with some databases you have the option of setting up a personal account where you may permanently save resources and searches for future sessions. You can also create an online database using RefWorks to store your research materials. For more information on RefWorks, view the Student Orientation page in the Library. Therefore, carefully complete the tutorials, follow the directions for searching, and think positive thoughts! Start with the Northcentral Search like an Expert tutorial to learn out how to get started with Library searching.

Skills Builder 4.3: Selecting a Topic

It is time to determine the topic related to the profession of psychology that you might want to pursue for this assignment. You can find some ideas for topics here:

  • American Psychological Association
  • NCU Library – Psychology database resources

Additionally, you may want to view the library tutorials on finding a research topic and preparing to search.

Note: You will use the sources here for the Signature Assignment. So, please select a topic in which you are interested; or one that relates to why you chose to pursue your degree; or one that relates to your professional “passion.”

Some example topics include eyewitness testimony, competency evaluation, psychopathy, risk assessment, treatment in correctional facilities, or the development of juvenile delinquency.

Assignment

For this assignment, you will perform a search for resources published within the last 3-5 years (if available) in your chosen topic area of interest related to psychology. Be sure to start at the databases or Find an Article page in the Library for the scholarly articles and the Find a Book page for a book. Locate three peer-reviewed journal articles, one book, and one scholarly resource (website or other resource). Begin by creating a table (a general example has been provided below), and then list the resources you find. You can use a Word table, and then include it with the write-up described below so that you will submit one document to complete this assignment.

 

The columns of the chart are as follows:

  • Column 1: Generate an appropriate citation (APA form) for the resource (article, book, other) you discovered in the library.
  • Column 2:  Provide the name of the database you used and briefly describe the subject content, resource types, etc.
  • Column 3: List the keywords you used in your search.
  • Column 4: List any search limiters such as full text, date, peer-reviewed, etc. that you used.
  • Column 5: Provide a note about issues that arose and how you can improve your searching skills.
  • Identify a researcher conducting research in your area and questions you would ask him or her about his/her research based on what you have read about his/her work. The primary author’s contact information is often at the bottom of the first page of an article. Researchers love to talk about their research and answer questions. You are not required to contact the researcher, but should prepare the questions as though you might.
  • Identify and set up a tool for managing the resources you collect from our Library or other sources. This might be OneNote, RefWorks, or a database you develop for yourself in MS Access, MS Excel, or a similar took (i.e.; setting up folders in DropBox). Explain why you made your selection, and then briefly explain how you set it up and how you plan to use it in conjunction with your use of scholarly sources.
  • Reach out with a question to the NCU Librarian. Explain your question and the answer you received and how that facilitated your use of the NCU Library.

Length: 2-3 pages (the chart on one page and 1-2 pages for the conclusion)

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Create a thesis and an outline on Communities of Practice. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.

I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Communities of Practice. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. A clear example of the rising demand for communities of practice has been in the area of disabled children and their families whose experience usually lies at the end of the continuum of associating with various agencies and practitioners. In the past days, families of disabled children could come into contact with up to ten agencies in any given year and had to attend up to twenty appointments at clinics. For children plagued with intricate health care needs, these numbers can be astounding, leading to a bewildering situation. Some experts have warned that the absolute number of professionals who may take part in supporting a disabled child in the community can usually lead to a lack of continuity and coordination thus leaving families into confusion over whom to contact concerning specific problems (Collins & Foley, 2008).

It is apparent that numerous children with disabilities comprehend the need to consult a range of people and value the role they play in their welfare. However, their experience of disjointed services, the numbers of individuals involved, and the absence of “child-centeredness’ present a clear example of how the role of various practitioners need to be well coordinated. Ideally, the idea of communities of practice coming together is a critical step in the endeavor by the government to deliberate on how best to deal with children matters. The deliberation about the challenges for communities of practice working together to meet the set standards and to respond to the opinions of children and families mainly focuses on structures or issues of the knowledge base, workplace, and professional cultures, ethics as well as mind-sets. However, the manner in which different practitioners perceive children and construct their conceptions of childhood brings an additional layer to the equation. Naturally, the manner in which children’s services are formed largely depends on how childhood is constructed. For this reason, positioning children as ‘in need’ of things such as care, control, and education instead of concentrating on their evolving capacities can lead to a change in the current assembly of services (Foley & Rixon, 2014).
