Wk 2 – Biological Criminal Behavior

/in /by

Choose a criminal offender who committed crimes due to a biological reason.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper discussing the genetic or physiological evidence that supports the notion that biology played a key role in explaining the offender’s criminality.

Research the behaviors that constitute psychopathy. Discuss in detail the specific behaviors demonstrated by the offender that align with behaviors indicative of a psychopathic individual. Case examples may include the following:

•Andrea Yates and the documented evidence of psychiatric issues, including post-partum depression, prior to the murders of her five children.

•Jeffrey Dahmer and the documented evidence of psychiatric issues leading to the murders of 17 men. John Wayne Gacy and the documented evidence of psychiatric issues leading to the murders of 33 young men and boys.

•Identify if the positivist perspective applies to your chosen example. Explain your answer.

•Identify if the punishment rendered toward your chosen example best supports the classical or neoclassical perspective of crime.

Explain your answer.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

Issues Affecting Communication

 

Complete the matrix with at least twenty communication issues. In the first column, identify the communication concept. You may select from the many concepts discussed in the assigned readings. For example, “upward communication,” “filtering,” “noise in the communication process,” “message decoding,” “email,” “social media,” etc.

 

In the second column, create a brief scenario that illustrates ineffective communication regarding that concept.

 

In the third column, give a remedy that could have prevented the ineffective communication or could correct it. This should reflect a “best practice,” a technique or strategy accepted in a profession as superior to alternatives because it produces better results. Cite your source supporting this solution in this column and add your references in APA format below the list.

 

Your completed assignment should be between 700 and 1,050 words.

 

 Communication Concept Scenario Illustrating Ineffective Communication Solution for Effective Communication

 
sample Downward communication In a meeting with some but not all employees, the chief orally announced immediate changes in procedures. The presentation was confusing and left more questions than answers and employees not in attendance did not receive the information. Best practice: “Written communication is generally the most reliable mode for complex communication” (Robbins & Judge, 2017). A detailed addition to the operating procedure manual was prepared before the changes took effect. The chief provided training to supervisors to prepare them for fielding questions and ensuring adherence to the policy

/in /by

Interdisciplinary Foundations of Criminal Theory

Within every criminal justice field, practitioners use and agencies set forth practice, policy, and procedure. The interdisciplinary foundations, biological, sociological, and psychological impact these three “P’s” of criminal justice.

Create a 10–12 slide PowerPoint presentation that includes the following:

  • Identify the interdisciplinary foundations of criminological theory
  • Examine how the interdisciplinary foundations relate to each of the following: criminal justice practice, policy, and procedure.
  • Compare the interdisciplinary foundations to determine the most significant impact on current criminal justice practice, policy and procedure.
  • Illustrative examples of each of the following: practice, policy, and procedure.

Directions:

  • Your 10–12-slide requirement excludes your introduction and reference slides.
  • Use one basic slide design and layout.
  • Limit slides to between 6 and 8 lines of content.
  • Use bullets for main points.
  • Use speaker notes to fully explain what is being discussed in the bullet points as though you are presenting to an audience.
  • Include an introduction slide and a references slide.
  • Include at least five credible, outside sources.
  • All citations of outside sources plus the listing of all references should adhere to APA style

Does Your Neighborhood Shape Who You Are?

/in /by

Many poor and working-class families dream of living in the suburbs, believing their children will have the opportunity to attend better schools, will have access to non-dead-end jobs, and to escape from the looming threat of urban violence. Consequently, their children will have a better chance of being successful in life. However, many suburbanites balk at the prospect of government-subsidized housing in their neighborhoods. They fear that when poor people move next door crime, drugs, blight, bad public schools and higher taxes inevitably follow. They worry that the value of their homes will fall and the image of their town will suffer. Prepare a 2-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Does your neighborhood shape who you are? Explain
  • Would you be a different person if you grew up someplace else? Explain
  • Should suburbs be mandated to rewrite their zoning laws and allow a “fair share” of affordable housing? Why or Why Not?
