Assignment Details You graduated from the AIU Criminal Justice Bachelor Program only 1 year ago, and you are now the victim rights advocate for your county prosecutor’s office. When you entered the criminal justice program, you never dreamed that you would have a career helping victims of crimes to navigate the criminal justice system. Your duties include everything from comforting a victim of a sexual assault to helping the families of murder victims. Already, you have had opportunities to help so many people, and this type of work makes you feel proud of what you do. You are so proud, that it is all you speak about to your families and friends. So when Grace, the chief attorney, asks you to do something, you try to do your absolute best. The following assignment is no different. Grace, the chief attorney (CA), asks you to draft a report that she will use in her presentation to the county commission. Her goal is to keep the victim witness assistant positions that currently exist and increase the number of these positions in the future. She knows that providing victim advocacy is a relatively new concept to the criminal justice system and that the commissioners are not familiar with the concept that the criminal justice system should take a more active role with victims. Grace needs you to provide information from 8 of the following 12 areas of discussion: Give a definition of victimology. What is the history of victimology, and how has it developed? Explain how it is different from criminology, sociology, or psychology. Who established the first safe houses for battered women? Where and when were these safe houses established? Who established the first rape crisis centers? Where and when were these centers established? How has the Civil Rights movement contributed to antidiscrimination efforts and the establishment of hate crime legislation and policy?

Which organizations might she contact that provide specific advocacy for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and homicide? What services are not provided by government crime compensation programs? Explain the need for all states to require mandatory reporting by religious organizations of child abuse by clergy.

Research the clergy abuse in a state of your choice, and answer the following: If mandatory reporting exists, how long has this been a requirement? What organizations are involved in tracking and helping the victims with this type of abuse? If mandatory reporting does not exist, what alternative processes exist for reporting clergy abuse?
HOW ARE CHILDREN’S SELF-ESTEEM AFFECTED BY PARENTS PERSONALITIES, AND WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE CHILD’S ACTIONS?
HOW ARE CHILDREN’S SELF-ESTEEM AFFECTED BY PARENTS PERSONALITIES, AND WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE CHILD’S ACTIONS? How are children’s self-esteem affected by parents personalities, and what are the consequences of the child’s actions? From the instant children are born they begin to observe and gain knowledge from their environment. One of the first figures a child observes is their parents and also one of the figures that are observed the most. According to Bandura Social Learning Theory, behavior is learned from the environment through the process of observational learning. Children observe the people around them behaving in various ways. Since children spend so much time watching their parents they learn from them. With their parents children learn how to talk, play, and move; however, that is not all they learn. The social learning theory helps explain that people learn through social context in interactions and observations. As children continue to observe how their parents talk to them and to others they develop this skill as their parents have. This also shapes personalities and therefore parents’ personalities can have a direct effect on the personality of their child. Bandura, A. Ross, D., & Ross, S. A. (1991).

DISCUSS THE IMPACT OF CLASS, GENDER, AND POLITICS ON WOMEN IN LIBERIA.
DISCUSS THE IMPACT OF CLASS, GENDER, AND POLITICS ON WOMEN IN LIBERIA. Discussion—Serving International Victims As travel and communication across the globe become easier and more frequent, service professionals often join international human services organizations to provide services abroad. Additionally, many immigrants seek human services for issues related to events that occur in their home countries. In either case, providers abroad or in large cities in the United States often encounter clients who are victims of war, poverty, or political upheaval. It is important that, as a student of psychology, you gain an understanding of the issues involved in serving international victims. This assignment highlights the importance of understanding the victims’ culture, strengths, and potential, so that as providers you can catalyze the victims’ ability to help themselves most effectively. Imagine you are a news correspondent for a major national newspaper. Your editor has asked you to write a review of a brief film for this weekend’s edition of the newspaper. View both parts of the brief film below, Women of Liberia: Fighting for Peace: Use the Internet, your textbook, and the Argosy University online library resources to research international victims in this field. Using at least one of the academic sources you find through your search to justify your ideas, address the following issues in your review: Discuss the impact of class, gender, and politics on women in Liberia. How did some women make a difference? What was the outcome? What human service efforts had the greatest impact? Why do you think the women benefited most from helping themselves and each other within their own communities, rather than accepting outside help? Write your initial response in a minimum of 350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
Does there appear to be negligence in this case? In your opinion, who might have acted on behalf of David?
Scenario David, an 79-year-old elderly war hero with no living relatives, drove himself at night to a local hospital when he experienced shortness of breath and a headache. When he entered the emergency room (ER), he was placed in a wheelchair and briefly seen by an ER doctor. He was told that he could not be admitted since he was a veteran and had to go to a VA hospital, which was 90 miles away, for treatment. David was wheeled into the hallway to wait for transportation to a VA hospital. The night shift was busy. After sitting in the hall for 5 hours, David complained that he needed to lie down. The ER staff, who had been trying to move him to a VA hospital with no luck, finally transferred him by ambulance to a local nursing home in the wheelchair. David had a massive stroke shortly after being admitted to the nursing home and died six weeks later. Instructions: Read the scenario above and then, answer the following questions: Does there appear to be negligence in this case? In your opinion, who might have acted on behalf of David? In your opinion, would contributory negligence be a defense if there is a malpractice lawsuit relating to David’s death? Your response should be: One (1) page Typed according to APA style for margins, formatting and spacing standards
