Argue for OR against changing section 273 – Acceleration of death or euthanasia (Western Australian Criminal Code Act 1913) The Criminal Code 1913 (WA) outlines the offences and frameworks of criminal responsibility for the Western Australian public. Though the Code addresses offences against the person, property, the administration of justice and so on, there are also areas that fall outside the scope of the Code. In addition, the wording and meaning of the Code’s language is not always clear and is open to interpretation by judges. For this assessment you are to argue why you would keep a particular provision in the Code for example, s 246 must not amended because people have a right to defend themselves and because it serves the community’s needs well. You will need to do research to include evidence to support your position. Conversely, you may come across a provision in the Code that you object to. You need to do some research as to why you would improve or alter the provision of the Code. A minimum of 20 references must be used, 15 of which must be from peer reviewed sources such as journal articles, books, legislation, case law and media reports. Structure: Key Area 1 – Provide a considered general introduction. Provide a creative title. Include a clear statement as to your position at the end of the first paragraph. Key Area 2 – Develop an argument and justification for your position based on recent media dialogues and/or topical issues within the community Key Area 3 – Draw on research from criminology, psychology, sociology or other disciplines to inform and support your position Key Area 4 – Demonstrate a level of critical thought. (Critically argued how your position better meets the needs and requirements of the community / legal system) Key Area 5 – Use research by others to support your position Key Area 6 – Provide a considered conclusion.

It is common for social workers to be presented with a crisis  situation brought forth by clients, families, communities, and/or  organizations. The ultimate goal is to restore the client to  equilibrium. The five stages of the crisis are (1) the hazardous event,  (2) the vulnerable stage, (3) the precipitating factor, (4) the state of  active crisis, and (5) the reintegration or crisis resolution phase. 

There are times when a social worker will use more than one theory to assist in conceptualizing the problem and intervention, particularly if the theories complement each other. For example, resiliency theory can be used alongside crisis theory. 

To prepare: Review and focus on the same case study that you chose in Week 2. 

Submit a 1 1/2 page case write-up that addresses the following: 

• Map the client’s crisis using the five stages of the crisis. 
• Describe the client’s assets and resources (in order to understand the client’s resilience). 
• Describe how you, the social worker, will intervene to  assist the client to reach the reintegration stage of the crisis. Be  sure that the intervention promotes resiliency. 
• Evaluate how using crisis theory and resiliency theory together help in working with a client.

Be sure to:

• Identify and correctly reference the case study you have chosen. 
• Use literature to support your claims. 
• Use APA formatting and style.
  • Remember to double-space your paper.
