Once an individual has become a victim of a crime, there is the mystique of the victim not knowing how the criminal justice system operates and what role the victim plays in the system. The police chief of Anytown Police Department has tasked you to put together an instructional document that would explain to a victim about the criminal justice system. Your are tasked with compiling this document.

Draft a paper that depicts the various roles and responsibilities of the various components of the criminal justice system as they relate to victims: law enforcement, the courts, and corrections. Include what civil proceedings a victim may seek against an offender. Finally, include a section that describes a victim’s advocacy program, as well as highlights the services and activities provided to crime victims.

• Your paper should contain the following sections discussing each in reference to victims, roles, and responsibilities:
  • Law enforcement
  • Courts
  • Corrections
  • Civil Court proceedings
  • Victim’s advocacy programs
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Your good friends have just adopted a four-year-old child. At this point, the only socialization decision they have made is that the child is going to preschool. Imagine that you are an expert in your chosen field. Your friends have come to you for advice and to devise a plan to raise their child. They ask you to be frank with them and give them specific examples to support your opinions. They are determined to raise this child to the best of their ability. Since they are new parents, they need advice on everything!

The Final Paper should include the following:

1. Summarize Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model and describe why it is important for them to be aware of this theory.
2. Suggest and explain a parenting style/philosophy (authoritarian, authoritative, or permissive) that you believe will be most beneficial for the child and the family.
3. Explain which childcare (nanny, center-based, or family-based care) option (before/during/after preschool) you think is best for the child and why. Be sure to include discussion of the social factors that influence the likelihood of the family selecting a particular form of childcare.
4. Share specific suggestions, including at least two to implement safe technology use in the home. Explain how the media can (both positively and negatively) influence the child.
5. Discuss the importance of culture and ethnicity in the development of the self-concept. Share your ideas of ways that the new parents can create opportunities for the child to learn about his or her culture.
6. Describe at least two researched methods to increase the child’s self-esteem and positive attitude.
7. Differentiate between the importance of socialization that occurs in the home and at school. Explain the importance of each venue as a positive haven for the child.
8. Explain the importance of the teacher’s role in the child’s life. Give examples of how the school and the teacher will affect the child’s socialization.
9. Share the importance of positive peer interactions. Give two examples for the parents to implement at home to foster friendships.
10. The conclusion of the Final Paper should include the following:
    1. Brief discussion of the student’s future profession and how understanding the nature of families and children in relation to society is important for that profession.
    2. Discussion of how the student’s knowledge of the theories of socialization will impact his or her work in the future profession.
    3. Discussion of how the student’s understanding of child development will assist him or her in the chosen profession.

1. Pick a controversial ethical topic. Some examples can be found in Chapter 13. This topic must be approved in Module 6. Post your topic to this discussion and await your instructor’s response. It is best to keep the topic very focused for this short assignment.

2. Decide where you stand on your topic and WHY. Pick which ethical approach helps justify your belief on the topic.

3. You MUST do research on the topic and present that research. A good topic of choice will feature at least two reputable sources for each side (a total of four references). Unbiased articles and academic studies are best.

4. You will create a 7-10 slide presentation using PowerPoint (or another presentation software approved by your instructor). Present  both sides of the issue fairly, then justify your viewpoint. End with at least two ethical discussion questions about the topic for the class to discuss. Include a slide that lists your references in APA format (see presentation outline below).

5. Make sure your PowerPoint features an appropriate number of slides and presents the information as clearly as possible. Avoid including slides with too many words, lack of clarity and poor grammar. Use illustrations where appropriate. Move large chunks of text to the notes section of the slide.

6. You will post your presentation (the PowerPoint file) in Module 7 (Topic of Choice Presentation discussion). Make sure you comment on the discussion questions in at least two classmates’ presentations.

Outline for Presentation

1. The first slide should include the name of the presentation AND your name.
2. The next slides will explain the topic and a quick summary of both sides. Use your research to objectively(your opinion will come later) present the facts and opinions of both sides fairly. Cite the research you used, including quotations. This should take several slides to do in some depth. Use the notes section if you feel the slides are becoming too crowded (should be 3+ slides).
3. The next slide should list your sources in APA format.
4. The next slide is your opinion. Present your own opinion on the controversy. You must explain WHY you believe what you do. Also, tie your opinion to one of the ethical approaches we’ve studied. Put it in the slide and explain WHY that is the right approach. (Ex. “Utilitarianism. The right approach offers the greatest good for the greatest number.”). Use the text here, and cite it appropriately.
5. The last slide includes 2 – 3 discussion questions for the class on this topic. Think about these! They must be ethically challenging and tough.

This assignment requires you to create two files; a module defining 4 classes and an executable program that tests the classes. The module file defines a superclass Edifice (supplied below) and 3 subclasses that you must code. Follow instructions closely for full points.

class Edifice:

def __init__(self,storeys,area):

self.__storeys = storeys

self.__area = area

def show_info(self):

print(‘Storeys:’,self.__storeys,’, floor area:’,self.__area)

class Home:

• inherits from Edifice and adds a numeric attribute for number of bedrooms.
• overrides the show_info() method by:
  • calling the Edifice class show_info() method to display the storeys and area attributes.
  • printing the purpose of a home and the number of bedrooms.

class Factory:

• inherits from Edifice and adds a string attribute for the product manufactured by the factory.
• overrides the show_info() method by:
  • calling the Edifice class show_info() method to display the storeys and area attributes.
  • printing the purpose of a factory and the product it manufactures.

class Commercial:

• inherits from Edifice and adds a string attribute for the usage of the commercial building.
• overrides the show_info() method by:
  • calling the Edifice class show_info() method to display the storeys and area attributes.
  • printing the purpose of the commercial building and the usage.

In the executable file’s main function:

• create a Home instance and execute its show_info() method.
• create a Factory instance that manufactures automobiles and execute its show_info() method.
• create a Commercial instance to represent an office building and execute its show_info() method.
• create another Commercial instance to represent a mall and execute its show_info() method.

question 1

Assume that you are part of a mediation team that has been brought in to help overcome an impasse between negotiators who are deliberating the use of embryonic stem cells for a research project. The decision makers are polarized along ethical and religious lines. Since this is a potentially emotional issue, what would you do in order to break this impasse? How could the fixed pie concept come into play in this situation?

question 2

We have each had to negotiate during the process of purchasing a home or automobile. Analyze the last major purchase that you were involved with and discuss that purchase in terms of the decision-analytic approach. What was your BATNA and how did that come into play?

question 3

Eventually, the United States and Iran will have to sit down and negotiate the use of nuclear power. Discuss the issues that could be involved in such a negotiation. What cognitive mistakes might be made by the negotiators in this case? How could these mistakes be overcome in order to reach an acceptable agreement?

question 4

Discuss the four ways, outlined in Chapter 9, in which contingent contracts can improve the outcomes of negotiations for both sides.

Locate an article specifically related to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX Act) of 2002.

Write a 350- to 700-word review of the article. Your review should discuss how the SOX Act may affect ethical decision making in today’s business environment, and the criminal penalties for which the act provides.

You will create a speech that should be three to five minutes long. You must also upload a transcript (print version) of your speech and include a short 75-word reflection statement. In the reflection statement, discuss what aspects of this assignment you found helpful for your future career and mention some strategies you can use to improve your speechmaking abilities in the future. Make a video of your speech as you rehearse it. Before presenting your speech to your audience, use the following evaluation questions to evaluate your delivery:

1. Did I use an extemporaneous delivery style? 2. Did I use appropriate notes, but not read or memorize my speech? 3. Did I establish eye contact with my audience before I began my speech?  4. Did I maintain eye contact during my speech? 5. Did I use gestures in a natural way? 6. Did I have an appropriate posture? 7. Did I have an appropriate facial expression? 8. Did I vary my facial expression? 9. Did I speak loud enough to be heard clearly? 10. Did I speak with vocal variety?

• Compare and contrast the approaches of each of the four perspectives (Piaget, Erikson, Skinner, and Vygotsky).
• Explain how each theorist would approach the issue of cognitive development in early childhood. Describe how Keith’s advice to Jasmine’s parents might vary depending on his theoretical perspective.
• What role would society and family play in Jasmine’s cognitive development at this stage of development? What cultural, psychosocial and physical influences will be seen?
• Incorporate information learned in your readings and at least one peer-reviewed* article from the library to support your conclusions.

* Peer reviewed means an article from a reputable journal, which can be found in the library. Peer reviewed indicates that other professionals in the field have reviewed and deemed it worthy of publication, in contrast to much if what we find online: someone posting something they want, without someone else verifying that their methods were rigorous enough and the study is valid.

Write a 4 page paper in Word format. Be sure to include introductory and concluding paragraphs in your paper, a title page and a reference page.  Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

In a three-page paper detail the current pressures on the U.S. labor relations system – on the corporate side, such issues can be workplace flexibility and employment involvement. Also, examine the current pressures on the labor side, such as low union density, a representation gap, and difficulties in organizing new workers.
