How would you explain the differences between the use of empirical research data from that of anecdotal data?

Within criminal justice, researchers are often faced with a plethora of anecdotal data with little empirical support for such assertions. We have all, no doubt, heard anecdotes pertaining to gang initiation rites, killers stalking baby sitters, or corpses discovered rolled in carpets by hapless hotel maids. Criminal justice researchers depend primarily upon empirical data as the most useful tools with which to explore the nuances of the issues plaguing society. However, one can always ponder the usefulness of anecdotal data. In contemporary research, there has yet to be a consensus pertaining to the proper place and function of anecdotal data. Jacques (2014) discusses both quantitative and qualitative research methods. After reading the article and Chapter 1 in your primary text, respond fully to the following questions:How would you explain the differences between the use of empirical research data from that of anecdotal data?How do these differences inform how criminal justice data might be evaluated and interpreted in published research findings?Is there a place in formal research for anecdotal data?Your initial post should be at least 400 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references

Why would an approach based on monocultural psychology be considered limiting when attempting to deal with a more diverse population?

According to statistics, by the year 2050, 50% of the U.S. population is expected to consist of ethnic minorities. As the United States continues to move toward an increasingly pluralistic society, cultural nuances and differentiation must be acknowledged in the application and practice of forensic psychology. In Chapter 10 of the Bartol & Bartol (2019) text, the issues pertaining to multiculturalism are discussed.As you examine the many issues pertinent to a pluralistic society, answer the following questions in your post:Why would an approach based on monocultural psychology be considered limiting when attempting to deal with a more diverse population?What obstacles could be in existence that could potentially prevent or discourage an immigrant from seeking assistance from social services or mental health facilities?Of the current ethnic groups existing within the U.S., which population has been identified as being the most diverse and challenging for those within the mental health community?Guided Response:Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length.

Explain Travis Hirschi’s social bonding theory.

Travis Hirshi’s social bonding theory is a form of social control. While other criminological theories attempt to explain why crime occurs, social bonding theory explains why people conform to the norms of society and away from deviant and antisocial behaviors. Many argue the threat of punishment as being a deterrent. However, Travis Hirshi, in his contentions, believes there are other factors beyond punishment that are responsible for conformity. Review Chapter 7 in your primary text, and watchThe Social Bond Theory (Links to an external site.)video, which provides examples of the four elements of the theory (Siegel, 2015; Hiemstra, 2013).

Briefly describe one alternative to incarceration available in your state.

Improving Community CorrectionsIn January 2015, Governor Rick Snyder of Michigan signed two bills into law creating a special commission that would be responsible for “exploring alternatives to incarceration, promoting rehabilitation programs, and making recommendations to the Legislature. The bills aim to improve local alternatives to prison for eligible non-violent offenders and create court consistency across the state” (Michigan House Bills 5828 and 5829, 2015).You have been appointed to a similar commission in your state. Prepare a report in Microsoft Word that addresses the tasks given below. As you can see from the governor’s press release, tasks such as the following are actual real-world tasks that criminal justice professionals may encounter:Briefly describe one alternative to incarceration available in your state.Identify the goal that this program seeks to accomplish (e.g., rehabilitation, deterrence, restoration, etc.).Evaluate the effectiveness of pretrial diversion in preventing recidivism.Evaluate the use of probation in your state. Describe how probation officers may utilize community-based resources for the purpose of rehabilitating probationers.In a report of this type, data should accompany any recommendations to support the points being made. For this assignment, you might find the following resource helpful, along with your textbook, classroom material, and other appropriate outside sources:A National Survey of Criminal Justice Diversion Programs and InitiativesSource:Michigan Office of the Governor.
