To prepare: As a forensic psychology professional, you may be privy to sensitive information in high-profile cases involving your community and in which you may become emotionally involved. Consider the risks related to maintaining accuracy and confidentiality in your forensic reporting practices. Conduct your own online research to identify a case in your state or community that involved a forensic assessment. For the case you identify, consider potential breaches of confidentiality that could violate ethical guidelines as well as the risk of lack of independence from retaining parties associated with the case. Post a response to the following: Explain the risks of not reporting the results of your forensic assessment findings accurately. Provide specific examples. Given the nature of the case you identified in your state or community, in which forensic psychology professionals are involved, explain potential breaches of confidentiality that could violate ethical guidelines. Provide specific examples. Explain the risk of lack of independence from retaining parties often associated with community cases. Note: Your posts should be substantial (500 words minimum), supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources, and properly cited using APA style.
1. How does emotional intelligence affect the ability to effectively communicate in a business setting? Explain how self-awareness is a factor and what impact it has on workplace communication both formally and informally. 2. Refer to your readings to explain why communication is crucial to the success of organizational change. Using an organization of your choice, provide an example of when a change was implemented, but poor communication resulted in a problem with rolling out the change as intended. 1. How do group dynamics impact today's workplace? Does corporate culture and leadership come into play? How so? Discuss. 2. Stanley Milgram’s classic experiment of obedience focuses on social control and social conformity. Review Milgram’s experiment. View the videos within "Classic Studies in Psychology" on the Milgram studies in the GCU Library. Scroll down to and watch videos 12, 13, 14, and 15: "Justification?," "Milgram's Study of Obedience," "The Results," and "Milgram's Conclusions." Review the story in the text in Chapter 5. Then think about and formulate a response for the following situation. If you were the ruler of country, what behaviors would you classify as deviant? How would you make the populace obey and conform?
The first conversation with the Pastor went well. He wants to meet again to complete the Story-Tuning discussion. Dig deeper into the nuts and bolts. More specifically, look for tips and techniques to resource the final two phases of the story-tuning process. Noticeably draw upon (Living Into the Life of Jesus—Issler, Klaus / Miller, Calvin, Me I Want to Be—Ortberg, John, Foundations of Spiritual Formation—Pettit, Paul, Bounce 2010—Wicks, Robert J.), and thoughtfully develop the next two phases in the story-tuning process. Be attentive to how well the action plan fosters gap management (i.e., achieving the preferred story) and thoughtfully develop phases 3 and 4. 1. How do I Become the Me I Want to Be? (i.e., delineate a practical strategy) 1. Create a simple, repeatable action plan for the next 60 days 2. Be mindful of Christ’s preeminent resources and, accordingly, integrate symphonic truths, insights, and techniques from the learning journey 2. Who Needs to Help Me Become the Me I Want to Be? (i.e., designate a partner for success) 1. Identify a person with the best fit to help you become like the preferred story 2. Integrate insights from the readings and acquired relational style information to justify the rationale for this predetermined partnership.
Nicole E Costanzo SaturdayApr 13 at 10:43am Summary: The article “Tried as an Adult, housed as a Juvenile: A Tale of Youth from Two Courts Incarcerated Together” explores whether youth processed in adult court engage in more institutional offending and experience similar levels of victimization compared to youth processed in juvenile court. The study delves into a debate concerning the placement of juvenile offenders who commit serious crimes requiring transfer to adult courts and the concerns of housing them alongside less serious offenders in juvenile facilities. The juvenile system aims to reconcile the objectives of ensuring public safety and promoting the developmental welfare of juvenile offenders and maintains that juveniles may respond better to rehabilitation measures (Bryson & Peck 2020). The study sets out to examine offending victimization patterns among adult court youth and juvenile court youth confined together in a juvenile facility. Faculty-report and self-report records of offending patterns during the initial two months of incarceration, the research correlates different types of offenses and compares rates of offending between youth processed in juvenile and adult court (Bechtold & Cauffman 2014). The findings challenged conventional assumptions, suggesting that juvenile court youth exhibit higher levels of institutional offending than their adult court counterparts when incarcerated together, contrary to prevailing concerns about potential increases in violence. Forensic psychology professionals play a crucial role in understanding and addressing the needs of youth in the justice system, mostly in settings where juveniles are confined. Special attention is required when working with juveniles because of their developmental phase and distinct vulnerabilities. Forensic psychologists working in these settings must deeply understand adolescent development, including factors such as impulsivity, peer influence, and sustainability to environmental stressors. Also, forensic professionals must advocate for interventions and treatment programs that are developmentally appropriate and tailored to the individual needs of each juvenile, navigate complex ethical considerations, ensure that treatment is in the juvenile's best interest, and uphold principles of justice and fairness. Advocating interventions can promote successful reintegration of juvenile offenders into society. Reference Bechtold, J., & Cauffman, E. (2014).

Hello class and Instructor, The article I chose to discuss is "Ethical treatment of youthful offenders: Issues for psychologist". There are several difficult ethical issues that psychologists face while treating young offenders in correctional settings. For clinicians, the ethical landscape is compounded by the inherent conflict between correctional objectives and psychologically based goals. The updated Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (2010) published by the American Psychological Association and practice guidelines tailored to certain fields can help to some extent, but more comprehensive advice is still needed. The opposing goals of rehabilitation and penal objectives present particular ethical issues for psychologists working with young offenders. A complicated ethical landscape is created by the therapeutic approaches that must strike a balance between the requirements of the penal system and the psychological well-being of the young offenders. The Ethical Principles of Psychologists and the Code of Conduct published by the American Psychological Association (APA) offer a fundamental framework for discussing ethical concerns related to the treatment of juvenile offenders. But, in order to successfully traverse these issues given the unique context of dealing with juvenile populations in correctional settings, psychologists require additional direction. Juveniles are assessed and evaluated by forensic psychologists to ascertain their mental health, cognitive functioning, risk factors, and possibility for recovery. Decisions about therapy, intervention tactics, and sentence are influenced by the results of these evaluations. Expert testimony from forensic psychologists is frequently used in court cases involving minors. They might provide testimony regarding the psychological elements that influenced a minor's behavior, their ability to comprehend court cases, or their possibility of rehabilitation. Forensic psychologists create treatment programs specifically designed to meet the requirements of young offenders based on the results of their evaluations. These programs could involve educational courses, therapy, counseling, or other forms of interventions meant to deal with underlying problems and lower the risk of reoffending. In order to better understand juvenile misbehavior, successful intervention techniques, and best practices in the juvenile justice system, forensic psychologists who work in juvenile settings may also do research. They might aid in the formulation of laws that support juvenile offenders' successful outcomes. Ethical treatment of youthful offenders: Issues for psychologists: EBSCOhost.
