Number Theory

Number theory is the study of the set of positive whole numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,…,which are often called the set of natural numbers. We will especially want to study the relationships between different sorts of numbers. Since ancient times, people have separated the natural numbers into a variety of different types. Here are some familiar and not-so-familiar examples: odd 1,3,5,7,9,11,… even 2,4,6,8,10,… square 1,4,9,16,25,36,… cube 1,8,27,64,125,… prime 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,… composite 4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,… 1 (modulo 4) 1,5,9,13,17,21,25,… 3 (modulo 4) 3,7,11,15,19,23,27,… triangular 1,3,6,10,15,21,… perfect 6,28,496,… Fibonacci 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,…

FERMAT LITTLE THEOREM

Fermat’s little theorem states that if p is a prime number, then for any integer a, the number ap a is an integer multiple of p. In the notation of modular arithmetic, this is expressed as:

For example, if a = 2 and p = 7, then 27 = 128, and 128  2 = 126 = 7 18 is an integer multiple of 7.

If a is not divisible by p, Fermat’s little theorem is equivalent to the statement that ap 1 1 is an integer multiple of p, or in symbols:[1][2]

For example, if a = 2 and p = 7, then 26 = 64, and 64  1 = 63 = 7 9 is thus a multiple of 7

Introduction

One important area of application of Behavioural Science in the forensic arena is in crime prevention. Prevention means taking an antecedent approach to crime. This approach involves situational analysis, understanding the immediate triggers for criminal behaviour, and an analysis of the motives for criminal behaviour.

Based on your textbook, your assigned readings, and your class lectures and discussion, suggest crime prevention strategies for the following situation: an adult school shooting. Please incorporate primary, secondary, and tertiary crime prevention strategies. For each strategy you suggest, explain which of these three categories it falls into. You must suggest at least one strategy for each of these three categories

From a behavioural perspective, the most effective strategies are those that increase the effort required to commit a crime, increase the risks involved in committing a crime, reduce the reward  derived from committing the crime, reduce the stimuli or provoking triggers for engaging in criminal behaviour, and remove the excuses for committing criminal behaviour (Brantingham, Brantingham, & Taylor, 2005).  Please relate the crime prevention strategies you suggest to these constructs. For each strategy you suggest, explain how it works to prevent crime, referencing these 5 constructs.

Assignment
Write a paper discussing the application of the Calhoun and Weston (2003) Pathway to Violence to understanding the shootings at Dawson College in Quebec by Kimveer Gill on September 13, 2006. Your paper must include a clear definition of each stage in The Pathway to Violence, followed by examples from the Dawson College shooting and critical analysis from the perspective of the Calhoun and Weston model. The latter could, for example, include discussion of how well The Pathway model fits the shooting, or not. 

For background information on these events, see the relevant articles posted under Assignment 1 on Blackboard. This assignment is based on these sources as the database for your analysis. You may also incorporate other sources.

Based on the analysis of the Dawson College shooting, suggest your own crime prevention strategies that could be used to prevent a similar event happening at Seneca College.

Also, provide one current example of a primary, secondary as well as tertiary prevention strategy that is already in use (using peer reviewed sources) and comment on its perceived effectiveness (based on research). The example used must be unique and not one that has been reviewed within the course reading.

Paper not to exceed 12 pages in length (APA format i.e., double spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font, with cover and reference pages. Cover and reference page not included in page count). Information The grading of your assignment will be highlighted in a marking matrix in several ways to include:

Interview Skills Scenarios

/in /by

1. As you processed the Interview Skills Scenarios, what therapeutic approaches do you believe would be effective for each scenario? Identify two therapeutic techniques within the theories that you would consider integrating into the session, and why you chose the particular technique. Finally, what interviewing skills might be essential for working with this client, and what are one or two factors that are important to keep in mind as you use these skills?

2. In The Resilient Practitioner, Skovholt lays out key components of sustaining the professional self. Identify two components that you feel are particularly important and how this knowledge may impact your professional development.
