Write a report on each of the four perspectives including support for or against the perspective from two peer-reviewed articles from the University Library.

Imagine your supervisor has been asked to speak at a national convention on the future of criminology. Your supervisor has asked you to help gather information on alternative perspectives in criminology. You have been asked to research the following:

Critical criminology
Restorative justice
Peacemaking criminology
One additional perspective of your choice.
Write a 350- to 700-word report on each of the four perspectives including support for or against the perspective from two peer-reviewed articles from the University Library.

Post an explanation of whether means-tested programs (TANF, SNAP, and SSI) create dependency.

In the United States, there are many policies and programs in place to provide financial assistance to individuals in various ways. Some of these policies and programs include tax deductions for children, child care, mortgage interest, marital status, and/or student loans. These examples represent financial considerations the U.S. government provides to specific groups of people in society.

While many individuals appreciate the benefits of the policies and programs indicated earlier, there are many stereotypes associated with people who utilize certain public assistance programs like food stamps, subsidized housing, etc. It is important for social workers to understand the impact these stereotypes have on recipients of and service providers for such programs. Also, it is essential that you have the facts about social welfare policies in order to dispel the myths about recipients of assistance programs.

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Consider whether you think means-tested programs, such as the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), create dependency among its recipients. Then, think about how the potential perception of dependency might contribute to the stigma surrounding welfare programs. Finally, reflect on the perceptions you might have regarding individuals who receive means-tested welfare and how that perception might affect your work with clients.

By Day 4
Post an explanation of whether means-tested programs (TANF, SNAP, and SSI) create dependency. Then, explain how the potential perception of dependency might contribute to the stigma surrounding welfare programs. Finally, explain the perceptions you have regarding people who receive means-tested welfare and how that perception might affect your work with clients.

Evaluate the effectiveness of integrated care for service users affected by common physical and/or mental health conditions

What is an E-portfolio?

A collection of digital files (artefacts) that are shared electronically for the purpose of reflection, comment and evaluation.

It’s quite simply a website that enables you to collate digital evidence of your learning.

Your e-Portfolios can contain a wide range of digital files, including but not limited to, text or PDF documents, videos, sound files, images that are evidenced based.

Rationale for assessment design: This approach to assessment has been chosen for a range of reasons:

You are already familiar with identifying the patient pathway, so this extends your knowledge and skills further.

The Nursing Associate curriculum framework highlights the importance of Nursing Associates to be digitally literate. Using an e-portfolio helps to develop and demonstrate those skills.

The Nursing Associate must be able to work across all clinical settings. By having a clear, evidence based understanding of the integrated approach to care and the different services patients use, this develops your transferable skills.

The e-portfolio will be created in My showcase.

You can be creative with the structure of your portfolio in My showcase, but details of what to include in your portfolio can be seen in this example: This is an academic E-portfolio and must be supported by evidence .

The portfolio should be the equivalent of 5000 words. Level 5 academic study. Level 5 written CRG.pdf

Links to module learning outcomes:

1: Demonstrate an understanding of the research/audit/evaluation/service improvement processes and their relevance to the delivery of high quality care.

Introduction

The Development of Self module introduces students how to be the best leaders and managers they can be, in an increasingly turbulent world. You must focus on what drives you and your values and reflection around this in relation to becoming an ethical, values driven leader and manager. The
ability to focus on both the theoretical and practical approaches to developing, leading, and managing teams and how to respond to the challenges of modern-day workplaces, (for example, leading multiple and remote teams), is an essential element to you being successful as a business and people leader.

Assessment Task

Discuss and evaluate theories, approaches and strategies of effectively managing and leading teams and individuals, including leading multiple and virtual teams, to achieve success.
Review tools and techniques for assessing and developing current and future team capabilities, requirements and balance of skills and experience and highlight best practices in both areas.
Finally reflect on how you will/have shaped your own core values as ethical and values based leader and manager of the future. You will be able to illustrate application
theories and techniques to achieving a balance of skills and experience in teams
Illustrate evaluation of techniques for leading individuals and teams to achieve success

You will have undertaken analysis of your own ‘Self-Management’ skills and how this will drive
your development as an ethical, values driven manager.

With reference to the appendices, this can include how you have built knowledge and application
to enable you to be an ethical and values-based leader and manager of the future. This can include
evidence of personal development tests from various tools used.

Students will be required to investigate and research additional information to that covered in
lectures and seminars to undertake a critical review, whilst also demonstrating the application of
relevant concepts, theories, tools, techniques and processes, supported by a wide range of credible
academic sources.

Formative assessment opportunities will be provided during the seminars through the completion of case study exercises, presentations, draft online submissions etc.

This must be your own work i.e. you cannot submit work that is the same as other students or those that you may be working with for other assessments. If you do so, then any such work will be subject to our academic misconduct guidelines & procedures.

What are the ways victims of domestic violence are given shelter at Hope House?

Purpose Statement
Hope House shelter program has operated as a short-term shelter program providing shelter for the women for a short period of time and has effectively performed its duties into ensuring that women in the shelter program not only receive security but also treatments of various mental and physical conditions that accrue as a result of domestic violence.
As a short-term shelter program, Hope House may not effectively serve the community, especially the victims of domestic violence. The women sheltered in the program may become homeless. The women may suffer more injuries when they return to their homes and sometimes live their entire lives in poverty due to lack of financial support and adequate resources to keep their family and themselves from moving on with quality life. Therefore, the Hope House shelter program in Kansa city, Mo, may need to become a long-term shelter program to assist these women. By becoming a long-term shelter, they can provide services to women who are victims of domestic violence adequately until they are financially stable. Hope House as a long-term shelter program will benefit the women and eradicate the cases of domestic violence in Kansas City, Mo. Which would help stakeholders find jobs for the women to become financially stable and help them afford homes. Also, by offering long-term shelter for the women, Hope House will help them get guidance on their legal rights without worrying about where they have to go next. Thus empowering the women and giving them freedom of expression and claim what is rightfully theirs. In addition, the victims of domestic violence shall receive mental, physical, and emotional treatment that would help their recovery from the previous symptoms such as PTSD.
The purpose of the research that is being undertaken is to engage in an need assessment of how Hope House, a shelter home for victims of domestic violence in Kansas City, Mo, can turn into a long-term shelter for victims of domestic violence. Providing them with the help, care and assistance that they need in order to emerge as an essential shelter base for such victims, now as well as in the future.
The purpose of this Qualitative study is to propose a professional administrative study for the Firehouse Ministries of Birmingham by studying employee retention during the pandemic. This qualitative study is to research important ways in which the Firehouse Ministries can implement new policies and strategies to ensure the safety of staff and volunteers. Also, this research study is to learn the appropriate elements that should be included in a volunteer safety plan as well as create a draft plan for the Firehouse Ministries.
