Mechanisms of accountability | Law homework help

Mechanisms of Accountability
Note: In Week 5, the Application Assignment is to be completed before the Discussion question.
Congress, the president, and the courts have developed mechanisms of accountability used in the oversight of rulemaking. Congress and the president have a vested interest in the oversight of rulemaking because they want to ensure that statutes are carried out the way they intended. Courts, on the other hand, engage in the oversight in rulemaking to ensure that the rules the agency creates and enforces are constitutional. Given that each branch performs oversight differently by using different mechanisms of accountability, the question of which branch, and more specifically, which mechanism, is most effective arises. In this assignment, you become familiar with the mechanisms of accountability and reflect on which are most effective in the oversight of rulemaking.
To prepare for this assignment:

Review Chapter 6 in Rulemaking: How Government Agencies Write Law and Make Policy. Pay attention to the mechanisms of accountability used by the three branches of government in the oversight of rulemaking.
Select one mechanism used by each branch of the government in the oversight of rulemaking.
Consider the similarities and differences between and among the mechanisms you selected.
Select two mechanisms from the readings that you think are most effective in the oversight of rulemaking and consider why.

The assignment (1–2 pages):

Compare (similarities and differences) the mechanisms of accountability you selected.
Briefly describe the two mechanisms you think are most effective in the oversight of rulemaking and explain why. Be specific.
Explain at least one insight you had or conclusion you drew about the mechanisms of accountability as a result of completing this assignment.

Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources not included in the Learning Resources for this course.

Search for the best evidence available and determine the strength of the evidence using the CRAP test.
Complete a critical analysis of the evidence and develop recommendations for practice changes.

Discuss the variables found in the research that have been found to correlate with an increased risk for suicidal ideation, attempts and completion. What types of psychopathology have been associated with an increased risk for suicide? Why might that be the case?

Answers must be paraphrased (restated in your own words with no quoting permitted), properly APA format source credited – including within-answer citations and a list of references included at the end of each answer – and at least 600 words each, not counting source citations and references. Answers should be succinct, thorough, articulated in well-organized paragraphs (lists, sentence fragments and bulleted items are not permitted), and more substantive than just definitions of terms, procedures, or issues. 
To complete this exam, save a copy of the attached file on your hard drive, construct your answers below each question on a separate page per question, attach a cover page to the front and a reference list to the end (references must also be placed at the end of each question for which they were used) and upload it under the Midterm Exam assignment tab.
Questions:
1. Psychological abnormality may include concerns with concepts such as deviance, distress, dysfunction, and danger. First, briefly explain what each term means from your perspective in the context of psychopathology. Then, for each term, provide a specific example of when it (e.g., distress) would be considered “normal” and, separately, an example of when it would be considered “abnormal.” Finally, explain why it is important to understand this distinction.
2. Your nephew is taking Intro to Psych as a high school senior and is confused about which of the theoretical models is “best” at explaining abnormality. Describe for him, in no more than 100 words per model and using terms he (as a layperson) can understand, at least three models of abnormality. Then, briefly answer his question – which model do you think is best and why? Be sure to support your answer with reference material.
3. Answer both parts of this question. Imagine you are an intake clinician at a community mental health clinic:a. If you had 30 minutes to conduct a preliminary clinical interview, what information would you be sure to try to get, and why? Be sure to support your answer using the reading materials in the course.b. You’ve been tasked to give a lecture to new clients explaining the format and major characteristics of DSM-5. What are the main points you want to be sure to cover
4. For EACH of the following disorders, characterize three specific factors you believe are most important for a basic understanding of them. Be sure to justify your choices using only about 100-150 words for each:1. GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder2. PanicDisorder3. ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder 4. Post-TraumaticStressDisorder 5. SomaticSymptomDisorder6. MajorDepressiveDisorder7. BipolarDisorde
5. Discuss the variables found in the research that have been found to correlate with an increased risk for suicidal ideation, attempts and completion. What types of psychopathology have been associated with an increased risk for suicide? Why might that be the case?
