Psy/270 Week 6 Paper
The agencies were chosen because they are the ideal candidates who have the ability to help individuals in our community who don’t have a program that fits their needs. These local stakeholders have experience and expertise in the prospective programs that will be utilized to serve individuals fitting the eligibility requirements. What makes this an efficient collaboration of stakeholders is the plenitude of programs which they provide, to include: behavioral health professionals, housing providers, law enforcement, social services, advocacy groups, education, probation, community based non-profits, faith based organizations, individuals impacted by the justice system and housing navigators. There are also stakeholders who would indirectly participate in the program to include: prosecutors, food service providers, defense attorneys and the court system. These agencies would cover the services that would be needed in order to serve our stated target population

Community engagement is not only important in overcoming the gaps of coverage that exist, but also key in coming up with comprehensive programs that that address recidivism and necessary diversion programs. The board is made up of public officials, agency directors, non-profit organizations, formerly incarcerated individuals and low income representatives. By having one designated individuals from each of these agencies/organizations, we will be able to receive continuous feedback on the program and address obstacles as they arise.

    Psy-240 Week 2 Assignment

    Inside the womb we start out as an egg, but one of the first major structures that begin to form is the brain. The brain itself is a complex structure that leaves much to be learned from it. It controls a person’s entire body function and movements whether it be walking, talking, or even going to the bathroom. What most people do not know is that there are five major structures of the brain. The first of the five is the myelencephalon ( the Medulla). The Myelencephalon (or medulla) is the posterior portion of the brain stem. Not surprisingly then, the medulla is composed largely of tracts carrying signals between the rest of the brain and the body. An interesting part of the myelencephalon from a psychological perspective is the reticular formation. It is a complex network of about 100 tiny nuclei that occupies the central core of the brain stem from the posterior boundary of the myelencephalon to the anterior boundary of the midbrain. It is so named because of its netlike appearance (reticulum means "little net"). Sometimes the reticular formation is referred to as the reticular activating system because parts of it seem to play a role in arousal. The various nuclei of the reticular formation are involved in a variety of functions, however — including sleep, attention (definitely important for language), movement, the maintenance of muscle tone, and various cardiac, circulatory, and respiratory reflexes. Accordingly, referring to this collection of nuclei as a system can be misleading. Generally, the myelencephalon does not play an important role in language production or comprehension.…

    Essay On Diversion Programs

    Diversion programs need to be expanded, because they are effective, to some degree, at reducing the rate of reoffending. If these programs are expanded and provide more in-depth forms of treatment, the rate of recidivism can be reduced even further. On a more personal level, every offender that becomes a member of such programs, has a chance at becoming a productive member of society that doesn’t have to live in active addiction. Diversion programs can save lives and make the communities safer…

This program assists inmates in various ways by providing individual therapy and counseling, employment services, Psychiatric evaluation, monitoring of medication, housing access, how an individual is living and transitional living services, and outpatient and inpatient alcohol and drug treatment.

    I have a very small group of people that I go to for advice because I usually try to figure things out on my own. One person I would always go to for advice was my high school counselor, Mr. Menchaca. He was the one who helped me figure out I want to go into a career that helps people and he was the one who helped me with what classes to take I in order to get to where I want to be. I still don’t know anyone who is in that field but I am trying to find someone who is that will help guide me to be a paramedic with knowledge and experience that they have had to obtain in order to be where they are.

    I would have to say yes that feel the results were accurate. Some of the questions I had to really put some thought into, and I tend to like those types of exercises because it makes me feel like I am actually putting my brain to use. IQ tests cannot be statistically demonstrated to measure innate intelligence because there is no way to verify their accuracy without changing the common definitions of intelligence to be a list of quantifiable real-life criteria to test accuracy. No such list can match the common definitions of innate intelligence, or even come close because the intelligence component of such criteria, free of bias, cannot be defined, separated, and quantified. Imagine that person A) goes to a good school, where they often practice questions similar to IQ tests. Sometimes they even take IQ tests. Person B goes to a bad school, they don't practice similar questions or IQ tests. Both are presented an IQ test. It is possible that person B) is more intelligent, but not having practiced an IQ test is not prepared for it. They are expected to do worse and probably will. I believe that IQ tests only measure one aspect of intelligence and may not be valid across every person. Some people may be more skilled in certain areas, and some people may not have had the background to excel in IQ tests. So, having IQ tests to compare different people is not very…

    Cja 354: Victim Analysis In The Criminal Justice System

    2). “The Community-Based Problem-Solving Criminal Justice Initiative aims to broaden the scope of problem-solving courts, testing their approach to wider defendant populations and applying key problem-solving principles (e.g., links to social services, rigorous judicial monitoring, and aggressive community outreach) outside of the problem-solving court context” (OJP, n.d., para. 3). Problem- Solving Courts are important initiatives to fund because they help keep society safe by trying to improve the recidivism rate. This will cause a reduction in crime, and justice agencies case-loads will lighten; thus, freeing up the justice system to advocate for crime victims, and restore faith within the criminal justice…
