Explain one internal factor and one external factor that affect discretionary decision making. Why did you select these factors as being influential?
The exercise of discretion in the criminal justice system and related agencies often plays a fundamental part in decisions which are made; a concept central to the meaning of justice. However, the definitions of discretion can be murky, and regardless of its importance, it can be a highly arguable concept with significant controversy surrounding its nature and legitimacy.
?L. Gelsthorpe & N. Padfield
As you have learned throughout this course, discretion is a major factor in the decision-making process in criminal justice. Discretionary decisions are made and influenced by various factors in the field, both internally and externally, which can make discretion a highly controversial concept. For this discussion, we will explore influential internal and external discretionary factors.
In your initial post, explain one internal factor and one external factor that affect discretionary decision making. Why did you select these factors as being influential? Can you provide one example you have seen in public or in the media of each of these factors impacting discretionary decision making?
In response to two of your peers, state whether you agree or disagree with the factors your peers selected. If you agree with the factor, explain why you support it. If you do not agree, explain why another factor may be more influential than the one your peer mentioned in their initial post. Remember to always be respectful when replying to peers, even if you do not agree with their stance or rationale.

Explain the controversy that surrounds Paraphilic disorder.
Between 10% and 20% of the population experience personality disorders. They are difficult to treat as individuals with personality disorders are less likely to seek help than individuals with other mental health disorders. Treatment can be challenging as they do not see their symptoms as painful to themselves or others.
Paraphilic disorders are far more common in men than in women, and generally quite chronic, lasting at least two years. Treatment of these disorders usually involves both psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatments.
In this Assignment, you will explore personality and paraphilic disorders in greater detail. You will research potentially controversial elements of the diagnosis and/or treatment and explain ethical and legal considerations when working with these disorders.
Review this week?s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide on assessing, diagnosing, and treating personality and paraphilic disorders.
Select a specific personality or paraphilic disorder from the DSM-5-TR to use for this Assignment.
Use the Walden Library to investigate your chosen disorder further, including controversial aspects of the disorder, maintaining the therapeutic relationship, and ethical and legal considerations.
In 2?3 pages:
Explain the controversy that surrounds Paraphilic disorder.
Explain your professional beliefs about this disorder, supporting your rationale with at least three scholarly references from the literature.
Explain strategies for maintaining the therapeutic relationship with a patient that may present with this disorder.
Finally, explain ethical and legal considerations related to this disorder that you need to bring to your practice and why they are important.

Describe the impact of social context on conformity, obedience, and helping behaviors.
Review the Hock (2020) readings on social psychology theories and principles. Think about the influence of environmental and social context on behavior.
Reflect on the following social media scenario: You are reading posts in your favorite social media site, when you come across a post by a 19-year-old male. He writes that he was raped at a party last night and he?s afraid they will post pictures of it online. He is contemplating suicide. You notice three types of behaviors in the comments to him:
A small group of individuals are using profanity and belittling him. They are encouraging him to commit suicide.
A larger group of individuals are making supportive comments and providing the number for a crisis help line.

Describe the impact of social context on conformity, obedience, and helping behaviors.

Describe three ways ESL teachers can advocate for ELL families and act as a professional resource in the educational community. Include examples that highlight the leadership role of ESL teachers.
Assessment Description
Advocacy is an essential and expected part of working with ELLs and their families. Teachers may find it necessary to advocate not only for the individual students in the classroom but also to address larger systemic issues where inequities in education might still exist.
Imagine you work in a school where there has been a turnover in school board members. The previous board was less than receptive to addressing the needs of ELLs in the school community. With the new school board members, you have a chance to bring awareness to a specific issue affecting ELLs and their families.
Part 1: Making a Proposal
Research examples of school board proposals and issues that affect the learning of ELLs to make a request to the school board in the scenario.
Note: Since this is a fictional proposal, you may create further school context as needed, to complete the assignment.
Write a one-page proposal to submit to the school board advocating for a new policy, program, or action to address your selected issue. Include the following in your letter:
Background or introduction of the issue, including rationale of the issue’s importance and how it promotes learning for ELLs.
Proposal of a new policy, program, or action that you would like the school board to support or approve regarding the issue.
Research and data supporting your proposal, cited and briefly summarized. Include a minimum of three scholarly resources.
Part 2: Summary
In a minimum of 500 words, summarize the importance of advocacy and professionalism as an ELL educator. Include the following in your summary:
Explain research and theories of cultural and linguistic diversity and equity that promote academic and social language learning for ELLs.
Describe three ways ESL teachers can advocate for ELL families and act as a professional resource in the educational community. Include examples that highlight the leadership role of ESL teachers.
Discuss your plans for professional growth through future advocacy work that supports the language development and academic achievement of ELLs, the rights of ELL families, and the advancement of the TESOL profession.
