Is restorative justice useful in lowering the rate of recidivism?

Society’s response to crime has changed over the past century. The approach of rehabilitation in the 1960s has gradually been replaced with a “get tough on crime” approach, bringing in mandatory sentencing laws and long prison sentences. Regardless of the approach, crime continues to be a problem, and recidivism for some crimes and some offenders remains high. In this assignment, you will explore society’s response to crime and different concepts of justice.

Identify seven potential risks along with a plan of the action to take if a risk occurs. Explain your solutions.

 

For many companies, change is a constant thing. A company that can smoothly navigate organization change is one that is more nimble and better able to meet market demands for products. In this assignment, you will develop a change management plan that is similar to what a business today might use to implement change.

Assume you are the supervisor of a product development team that designs cell phone applications for your company’s newest cell phone. Unfortunately, this model has not been performing well in the market and your company has decided to discontinue production.

Your team is being asked to discontinue their current operations and move to the design and development of applications for a new smart phone. This will require new skills and experience that some of your team members do not possess. In addition, management has asked for a shortened timeline meaning your team will have to put in considerable overtime hours.

You are to develop a change management plan for leading your team through these changes, including reorganization. You will review your plan with your boss.

Research change management plans using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Select at least two authoritative resources, one of which may be your text, to use in this assignment. Be sure to use real-world situations when presenting examples in your response.

Download and review the Change Management Plan template from the Doc Sharing area. Analyze the case information and fill in the template.

    • Two ways to deal with resistance from the team
    • Two ways you will lead and motivate your team through the change
  • Identify two specific ways you will inform your supervisor of plans and progress.
  • Identify five action items required in order to implement the change.
  • Identify seven potential risks along with a plan of the action to take if a risk occurs. Explain your solutions.

Explain the law and the reasoning of the courts when they resolve a specific issue.

LGST 201 7980 – Legal Writing

 

When you synthesize, you explain the law and the reasoning of the courts when they resolve a specific issue. It explains the law and how the courts reach their holdings.  The synthesis explains the standards, factors, criteria, and approaches that the courts use to solve the legal dispute.  When you read a statute and a set of opinions all focused on the same issue, you will notice that the approach to resolving the issue may be the same.

 

 

For this exercise, use the applicable cases listed below to explain and synthesize the law that applies in slip and fall cases including how to establish such a case as well as the defenses available.

 

 

Rehn v. Westfield America, 837 A.2d 981

 

Tennant v. Shoppers Food Warehouse MD Corp., 693 A.2d 370

Analyze ethical considerations related developmental psychology within the program

Prior to completing this discussion, please read Chapter 21 from the Lerner, Easterbrooks, Mistry, and Weiner (2013) e-book and the review the list of programs included in the Federal Program Inventory published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2013) required for this week.

 

For this discussion, you will take on the role of a developmental psychologist reviewing an existing program to assess the program’s efficacy for the developmental stage(s) of the target audiences identified. Using the Federal Program Inventory as a guide, search for a human services program at work either in your local area or online. Find a program of interest to you that serves the need(s) of a specific population of individuals. You may want to refer to the Program Proposal Tracks and Topics in Developmental Psychology document for ideas on the types of programs to look for in your search.

 

For your initial post, create a brief summary of the program’s details that includes the information below.

Program title

 

The program’s purpose

 

Who the program serves, including age group, gender(s), race(s), cultures(s), and any special groups identified (veterans, people with disabilities, dog owners, etc.)

 

Program location

 

Agency/group running the program

 

When (or how often) the program takes place

 

You will then evaluate the elements of the program and the effectiveness of these elements for individuals and/or the community it serves. Explain human development in the context of current trends by evaluating the program through the lens of developmental psychology. Examine the application of developmental theory and research to policy and community agency as they are utilized in this program

 

How is the program appropriate for the targeted population, and why?

 

Are there any ways in which the program is not appropriate? If so, explain how the program or the population could be adjusted.

 

Are people able to easily find and get to the location? Is it accessible to the specific groups for whom the program is intended?

 

Is there a cost associated with the program? Is the cost appropriate, given the target population and expected outcomes? Why, or why not?

 

Which domains of development (physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial) are emphasized by this program? How are these emphasized?

 

Could skills within other domains of development be incorporated into this program? Make recommendations as to how these might be included.

 

Is the program implementation (how often is it offered and what occurs each time) effective in promoting its purpose and achieving its goals? If so, how? If not, what suggestions would you make for improvement?

 

Analyze ethical considerations related developmental psychology within the program. Does the program appear to follow a moral and ethical code when working with people? If so, how? If not, what does the program need to address immediately?
