Suggested Interview Guidelines

 

The purpose of this assignment is to act as an “ally” to reduce “ableism”.  In order to understand the impact that “ableism” has on an individual, it is beneficial to learn first hand about the kinds of prejudice and discrimination that people with disabilities face.  A person with a disability is the real expert on the issues that affect their lives.  After considering their experiences, it is then that you become aware of your own role in promoting disability rights – even if it means facing your own subtle beliefs of discrimination.

 

The interview process should focus on the experiences of the person with the disability.  By educating yourself, and by your willingness to learn from someone with an experience of disability, you can align yourself with the community of people with disabilities so that needed change can occur.

 

The interview process should focus on the individual first and the disability experience second.  By staying focused on the individual, you affirm their need for respect, equal treatment, and the right to access societal opportunities without experiencing discrimination.

 

This interview should be a full 3-5 pages long, double spaced.  The interview is easiest to read if written in a narrative format. (Just tell the story).  Confidentiality is important, so initials, or first name only is appropriate.

 

1. Ask the person to tell their story – their history… where they were born, their family situation, educational experiences, adulthood goals, and current living situations.
2. Ask the person about their experiences in society – have they experienced any challenges in accomplishing their goals.  What about education?  Have they ever been discriminated against?  Talk to the individual about Americans with Disabilities Act.  Are they aware of their rights?
3. If appropriate and the person wants to share details about their specific disability, include that information.  If they would prefer to not give you specifics of the disability in a medical context, then be respectful and stick to the societal responses to their situation.  Focus on the strengths of the individual and their attitudes towards their experiences.  Find out what changes can be made to improve their life.
4. At the end of the write-up, reflect on your own personal response to this experience.  Reflect on any biased beliefs of which you were made aware.  How can you become an ally to make the changes needed for this person to live a full and successful life?
5. Finally, include at least two concepts from GS 420 to this experience.  For example: Did you use any of the “10 Commandments” when interacting with this individual?  If so, state the commandment and how you applied it during this experience.

Then, provide an example, drawing from any of the payoff tables in Problems 1-17 in the back of Chapter 12. If no probabilities are given for the states of nature, then assume equal likelihood.

Psychology and the Criminal Justice System

 

The application of psychological theory, assessment, and clinically informed judgment within the context of the criminal justice system are a few of the duties performed by forensic psychologists. Risk assessment to identify violent offenders and their propensity for future violence is often a critical step in the legal process to inform treatment recommendation and sentencing. Various empirically validated tools are necessary to evaluate and identify the specific traits of offenders prone to recidivism and violence. Despite this, there remains a debate regarding the accuracy of these predictions and their utility. As a result, this is a topic worthy of further examination and discussion.

• Based on the information presented and examined in this course, discuss the importance of psychology in the criminal justice system.
• Examine the traits that distinguish between non-violent and violent offenders.
• State your opinion on whether recidivism and violent behavior can be accurately predicted.

Give reasons and support your statements with scholarly references and appropriate examples.

Approximately 300 – 500 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Possible research paper topics based on the issues in the readings so far:

Why did the leaders of the warring nations in World War I force their soldiers to continue battle after the soldiers showed they wanted peace?

Situations in which lying is necessary: for example, politics includes a lot of lying (and government probably wouldn’t work if we did not lie). Examples of lies:

Politicians say that they will do something for the people, but they don’t do it. Like saying, “I will reduce the subway fare from $2.75 to $2.50” – and then not doing it.

Politicians lie to keep a war going. The United States never officially declared war on Vietnam, and yet sent hundreds of thousands of American soldiers there; 50,000 American soldiers died in that war.

We viewed MacDonald’s commercials that showed a brief story. I told the story about the poor student whose landlord, the owner of a fine restaurant, tried to make the student pay for the smells of the fine food. We viewed a children’s video version of Jonathan Swift’s book Gulliver’s Travels, and discussed its political ideas. We also looked at the first few paragraphs of Mark Twain’s “Corn-Pone Opinions.” Twain’s main idea is: We all get our main ideas about life from the family and community where our basic needs are met, instead of thinking for ourselves.
