Corporate and Organizational Ethics

The Magazine of Corporate Responsibility (http://business-ethics.com/) is an online periodical published quarterly since 1987 to promote ethical business practices among professionals.

·  Start with an article published in the magazine and use it as a topic for a research paper.

In previous modules, you have been provided with templates that have specific and ordered subject headings. This time the organization of the submission is up to you, and only a basic template is provided. After three modules of work, you are prepared and ready for the challenge. Rise to the occasion and create a flowing and research-forward case that highlights your critical thinking and style.

Relying on a single resource is not adequate at this level of study. As a scholar and professional, you have a responsibility to support research with appropriate attribution. Every new point requires support. Today’s leaders are required to have a broad knowledge base that they continue to develop throughout their careers and lives.

 

Criminal Justice System—Social Influence

Criminal Justice System—Social Influence

 

This week's discussion will continue the theme of social influence on the criminal justice system. For this assignment you will discuss the role of the community and "social control" in corrections.

 

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research an example of a restorative justice program and describe it for the class. How does it work? What type of offenders does it involve? Is it effective? What is your opinion of the program? Click here to find articles describing restorative justice programs.

What are the aims of restorative justice programs in general? Be sure to emphasize on the victim while answering these questions.

Analyze whether restorative justice programs would be more effective for juvenile offenders than for adults.

Describe the role that "social control" plays in the restorative justice process.

Analyze whether an offender's community and social network can be more effective than the formal system in "correcting" his or her behavior.

Assignment 2: Alternatives to Incarceration

Due Week 10 and worth 120 points

A recent study illustrates that nearly two (2) million juveniles are processed through juvenile courts across the United States each year. Depending on the nature of the crime, juveniles may face detention or incarceration if they are convicted. Given the fact that many courts are reluctant to incarcerate criminal offenders, judges often consider alternatives to incarceration. The driving force behind these alternatives is to save taxpayer money yet still demand offender accountability and impose sanctions for criminal behavior. 

Use the Internet or Strayer databases to research the use of sanctions other than incarceration or detention for juvenile offenders. 

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Examine the underlying historical and economic reasons behind the quest for alternatives to incarcerating offenders in jails and prisons.
2. Describe three (3) alternatives to incarceration that juvenile courts currently use. Provide examples of such alternatives in practice to support the response.
3. Discuss the significant societal and individual benefits of imposing sanctions or punishments that do not involve removing an offender from his / her family or community.
4. Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.  

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: 

• Explain how delinquents have been handled throughout history.
• Contrast the differences between the juvenile and adult justice system in the United States.
• Identify successful evidence-based treatment modalities for juvenile delinquents and be able to describe the ingredients of effective programs.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in juvenile delinquency and justice.
• Write clearly and concisely about juvenile delinquency and justice using proper writing mechanics.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric found here.

Assignment 2: Course Reflection

In your first assignment in this course, you were asked to identify five key areas in criminal justice that would benefit from quality evaluation research. Take a few minutes to review that initial discussion you had with your instructor and fellow students and reflect on what you have learned in subsequent weeks.

Submission Details:

By the due date assigned, in a minimum of 400 words, post your responses to the following questions to the Discussion Area.

• What are your current thoughts about the five key areas in criminal justice that would benefit from quality evaluation and research? How different is your answer in this posting from the posting you made in M1: Assignment 1?
• What is the significance of quality evaluation and research for the five key areas, you list and how does research contribute to improving the criminal justice system?

External And Internal Drivers

This week you will focus on your reading assignment and at least 3 other sources to create a summary of internal/external drivers on quality that may impact your chosen topic quality outcomes.

 

Compare and contrast external and internal drivers on quality and explain how they will benefit your chosen topic by reviewing positive and negative impact. You will discuss the impact of internal and external drivers for hospitals and providers.

 

Eldercare In Public Health Law

Many laws, policies, and initiatives in public health are developed to try to create more equity in access to healthcare or to decrease the disparities that some people experience. It is difficult to determine when one population has received sufficient attention and another population should replace them at the forefront of advocacy and/or attention. Did you know that today we have more parents to care for than children? Eldercare has replaced childcare as a leading healthcare issue.

For this assignment, do the following:

1. Choose and view ONE 30-minute video in the And Thou Shalt Honor series from the list below.
    
2. Develop a policy related to the public health of the elderly in the United States.
3. Compare the strategies used in the United States to address our increasing elderly population with that of another Country of your choosing. Critique some of the public health policies that have been developed in that country and how are they are working.

You assignment should be a 2-3 page assessment (not including the cover or reference page) that utilizes proper APA format and includes at least 3 scholarly resources.

 

The Diversity Movement

The diversity movement suggests that there is strength in our  differences and that our differences enhance each other. At the same  time, the movement insists that our differences should not have  economic, social, or political consequences. We are entitled to the same  access to resources and opportunities regardless of our differences.  The human suffering from Hurricane Katrina and the images of victims has  stimulated the debate about differential access to resources.

Read the report Women in the Wake of the Storm: Examining the Post-Katrina Realities of the Women of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. On the basis of your reading, create a report, answering the following:

• Discuss the prominent dimensions of diversity revealed as a result of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
• Discuss factors that specifically influenced women's vulnerability  to Hurricane Katrina. While answering, consider the primary dimensions  mentioned in the lectures as well as the secondary dimensions such as  parental and marital status, income, educational level, military  experience, geographic location, work background, and religious beliefs.
• Describe the implications for healthcare organizations as a result of the disaster.
• Discuss at least of two of the policy implications that are outlined  in the report. If you were given the task to add another policy  recommendation what would it be and why?
