Give a definition of victimology.
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 prosecutors 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. You already have had opportunities to help many people, and this type of work makes you feel proud of what you do. You are so proud, and that it is all you speak about to your families and friends. 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 to 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 in 3-5 pages:

What process improvement tools could you use to help you?
As the recently appointed administrator of a local health clinic, Community Hills Care Clinic, your clinic is facing several challenges. Your clinic is being investigated for poor billing practices which include false billing of Medicare amongst other misconduct. This has caused quite a bit of attention to be focused on your clinic, which is well known in the area, by the local media. In turn, your staff is becoming anxious and worried about the future of the clinic, causing staffing turnover and shortages at times. Additionally, patients are becoming wary of the clinic in hearing the bad press. As the clinics administrator, the board wants to know how you intend to address the problems that you are facing.
Your Task:
Prepare a presentation for the Board, which includes the following:
What issues you want to address in the clinic
What strategies you intend to use to ensure that patients receive quality care, while addressing the clinic issues
What policies will you need to examine and implement?
What process improvement tools could you use to help you?
Address the need for ethical decision making. What is it? Why is it important? How will you enforce it in the clinic?
Going forward, what technology will you use or implement to help ensure the clinics success?
How will you market yourself to the public in an attempt to regain trust and portray a better image?

Assess how you can incorporate recognition behaviors into your normal set of behaviors to regularly notice and recognize people when appropriate.
Showing recognition is an important leadership behavior. For some, this is easy as it is part of their regular behaviors. For others, it is harder as they are not accustomed to it. In either case, we often assume people know we appreciate their efforts. Sometimes, because they are peers, we do not feel it is our place to give recognition. Both of these assumptions are false. Whether in a position of authority or if youre just a peer or friend, everyone has the opportunity to appreciate the efforts of someone else. In your career, you will find that authentic displays of gratitude and recognition are a vital part of effective leadership.
For this assignment, complete the following steps:
Think of someone that deserves recognition. This can be someone who has helped you, someone who has worked hard and done a good job, or someone who is simply special to you and has shown time and again they are on your side. Identify the person and explain why they deserve recognition.
Develop a plan to show them recognition. It should be personalized and meaningful. Perhaps you can buy them a small token of appreciation; it could be a thank you card, a small toy, or a mug with one of their favorite animals or cartoons. You might take them out to lunch or recognize them in front of a group of people. However you do it, it should show that you know them personally and that you appreciate their efforts.
Implement your plan and describe what you did and what their reaction was. How did it make them feel? How did it make you feel?
Assess how you can incorporate recognition behaviors into your normal set of behaviors to regularly notice and recognize people when appropriate.
