Forensic Mental Health Assessment:  A Casebook https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/waldenu/reader.action?docID=241493

 

For your Final Project, you will examine three case scenarios from Heilbrun, Marczyk, & DeMatteo’s Forensic Mental Health Assessment: A Casebook in which each case scenario represents a different type of offender (i.e., mentally disordered offender, sex offender, violent offender, family violence offender, female offender, white-collar criminal, cybercriminal, or terrorist). You will apply a specific theoretical approach to the criminal behaviors displayed in each case. You also will analyze the degree to which developmental risk factors and correlates of criminal behavior influence the criminal behavior that the offender exhibits. Finally, you will evaluate whether or not the offender in each case scenario is a criminal.

Note: Although assessment is an integral step in the tasks you complete in this Final Project, for the purposes of this course and Final Project, you will not assess the offenders in the case scenarios you select.

Your Final Project shall be presented as follows:

  • A 10 page  (not including references, title page, or abstract), double-spaced, APA-formatted paper

The Final Project must include:

  • A minimum of seven references (in addition to any course readings that you may wish to reference). Please be aware that websites such as Wikipedia will not be accepted as scholarly references. (Please consult the Walden University Library’s instructions for evaluating research resources, which includes a link to criteria for evaluating resources.)
  • A brief of each of the three case scenarios you selected
  • A description of each of the criminal behaviors exhibited by the offender in each case scenario
  • An analysis of how you might apply a specific biological, psychological, or sociological theory or approach to understanding and explaining each of the criminal behaviors. Be sure to select a different theory or approach for each behavior you discuss.
  • A description of the correlates and developmental risk factors that influence the specific criminal behaviors
  • An analysis of how each correlate and developmental risk factor influences the specific criminal behaviors
  • An answer to the question “Is this person a criminal?” with an analysis of why or why not

Your Final Project will be graded on a 20-point scale and is worth 4% of your final grade.

By Day 7 of Week 10

Although the Final Project is not due until Day 7 of Week 10, you should become familiar with the project requirements and have them in mind as you proceed through the course.

The Final Project will be evaluated according to all four indicators in the Assignment and Final Project Writing Rubric, which is located in the Course Info area. Be sure that the Final Project is written using APA format. Information on scholarly writing may be found in the APA Publication Manual and at the Walden Writing Center website.

Post a description of your organization. Then explain the systems of your chosen nonprofit and whether the characteristics were different historically.

/in /by

In the United States, nonprofit organizations collectively manage over $3 trillion in assets and spend approximately $1 trillion per year on programs and services. Given this level of responsibility, it is important that nonprofit or charitable organizations have systems in place that will ensure long-term strength and viability. Examples would be Board of Directors, strong accounting, and fiscal management practices.

For this Discussion, choose a nonprofit, charitable, or non-governmental organization of interest. Consider the “range of impacts” of the organization of interest (Smith, 2012).

By Day 3

Post a description of your organization. Then explain the systems of your chosen nonprofit and whether the characteristics were different historically. Evaluate the “range of impacts” attributed to your organization. Use the organization’s own published information to support your discussion points and cite them in your post using APA format for in-text citations.

Q1 Humanistic psychology emphasizes the importance of the individual experience in the understanding of human behavior. Which theorists do you believe were most instrumental in establishing this tenet of the movement? Why?

Q2 It could be argued that to understand both death and afterlife presence, one must first be mindful of physical presence in the world. Briefly contrast a Christian worldview perspective on both mindfulness of physical presence in the world and afterlife presence with the perspective of another worldview on these topics. Which of these resonates most closely with you? Why?

Q1 Phenomenology is a qualitative approach to understanding the lived experience of the individual. Consider who you understand to be the primary contributors to phenomenological psychology (as opposed to philosophy). What do you see as the primary differences and similarities among those theorists? Explain. What do you believe are the most significant challenges and benefits of employing a phenomenological approach in psychological research? Explain.

Q2 Quantitative research methods in psychology are based on the research methods used in the natural sciences disciplines to produce empirical research. Dr. Amedeo Giorgi, the founder of the descriptive phenomenological psychology method, asserts that this qualitative method can be used to arrive at empirical results related to understanding human experience. How does Dr. Giorgi’s method compare to quantitative research methodologies? Explain. From your vantage point, does his approach to qualitative research yield empirical evidence in understanding the human condition? Why or why not?
