Physicians are responsible and have caused the opioid crisis by overprescribing pain medications that are highly addictive. Debate

Prior to beginning work on this discussion,

The opioid crisis has become a controversial issue that is becoming harder to ignore. In the context of the relationship between psychology and criminal behavior, substance abuse is one of the leading risk factors for criminal behavior. Therefore, criminal psychologists, public health professionals, and the community-at-large are examining the implications of the crisis, the most crucial of which appears to be a relationship between homicide and violent crime rates and opioid abuse.

For this discussion, conduct additional research on the opioid crisis using the University of Arizona Global Campus Library to ensure you are aware of the latest issues in the opioid crisis national debate. Then, briefly debate the issue with your classmates.

Choose one of the prompts below, and debate the issue from the perspective listed:

• Prompt 1: Physicians are responsible and have caused the opioid crisis by overprescribing pain medications that are highly addictive.
  • Remember to provide your insight into whether rising violent crime rates stems from the opioid crisis as asserted in your assigned readings.
• Prompt 2: The person taking the opiates is responsible for their own behavior and doctors should be able to prescribe whatever they want in any quantity they deem medically necessary.
  • Remember to provide your insight into whether rising violent crime rates stems from the opioid crisis as asserted in your assigned readings.

Is chemical castration an effective sentence for sex offenders such as Odermatt?

Punishment

This week’s discussion will continue in the area of punishment, and will look at two very controversial topics:

First, consider the idea of conjugal visits for prisoners. Some states allow inmates private visitation time with their spouses.

Imagine that you are the warden of a prison that, at present, does not allow conjugal visits for prisoners. You are considering adopting this procedure.

• What data would you need to gather in order to make an informed decision? After looking at the research, what would you decide? Explain your reasoning.
• Explain what possible opposition could you face, and whether these programs have disadvantages.

Next, consider the case of Dean Claude Odermatt. His conviction for sexual battery on a child carried with it a sentence that includes 25 years in prison and chemical castration upon his release.

• Is chemical castration an effective sentence for sex offenders such as Odermatt? Only a small number of states allow chemical or surgical castration as punishment. Do you support laws like this?

Explain coping and the relationship between personality and coping. 

Explain coping and the relationship between personality and coping.
Personality can have a strong effect on the style and effectiveness of coping. A person who expresses negative affectivity, or neuroticism, is likely prone to poor coping skills and is at risk of various negative health factors. Negative affectivity is a negative mood often seen in individuals that are anxious, depressed and/or hostile (Taylor, 2017). Being prone to expressing negative affectivity is related to poor health habits, illusory physical symptoms, and poor treatment response (Taylor, 2017). On the contrary, having a positive outlook promotes better mental and physical health, lower levels of stress indicators, better immune response, and improves coping (Taylor, 2017).

Explain the term stress moderators, and provide an example of a stress moderator.
Stress moderators help to modify how stress is experienced and the effects it has (Taylor, 2017). Stress moderators come in many varieties and can be either an external resource or an internal resource. One such stress moderator is resilience, helps people to “bounce back” from bad experiences and adapt to changing demands of a stressful situation (Taylor, 2017). Through resilience, an individual can better manage the various stresses of life with persistence and flexibility.
