explain why a particular place/product or app is attracting crime/fear of crime or being abused to commit crime, or being discriminatory

Assessments

Assessment 1 – Poster. Students will take on the role of a Community Safety Officer and design a public information poster/leaflet based on a specific theoretical framework for preventing crime. The poster/leaflet will use the selected theory to describe the causes of crime, and relevant crime prevention solutions.

The first assignment is to produce a poster/information sheet. There are two scenarios which you can base this on.

1. You can take on the role of a community safety officer or crime prevention agency/expert (someone tasked with responding to crime or disorder and coming up with solutions to particular crime problems in a given place). You can come up with a name for your agency or initiative e.g ‘Bede Park Fear reduction team’ or ‘Adam’s community safety experts’ etc. The community can be real as in a particular part of Leicester e.g Castle Ward or Bede Park or somewhere from your hometown, or the place can be entirely fictional.

So, your role would be to come up with a solution to prevent a particular type of crime or disorder. Examples could be violence, sexual assault, muggings, graffiti/vandalism, drug dealing/taking, burglary, knife crime, signal crimes, tackling fear of crime, burglary, terrorism, cybercrime…or anything else of your choosing.

You will want to clearly define the crime or disorder problem; explain what is happening and why it is a problem that needs attention. You will then offer solution(s) to help prevent/reduce the problem. Your outlining of the crime problem and your solutions must refer to appropriate criminological theories or concepts to justify your choices and explain why your interventions will be effective. Some examples of relevant theories or concepts are rational choice theory, routine activities theory, crime pattern theory, broken windows theory, strain theory, signal crimes perspective, control signals, responsibilisation strategies, defensible space, natural surveillance/eyes on the street, crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), secured by design (SBD).

2. You can take on the role of a product/place/app designer (an independent expert or member of a police force) and offer your critique of an existing place (a building, a university campus, house, housing estate, town centre, park, bus stop, bar/club etc, hostile architecture) or ‘naïve’ product/app (amazon key, drones, smart cars, street signs, laptops, phones, smartwatches, police.uk crime maps) and explain why it is attracting crime/fear of crime or being abused to commit crime. Or in the case of hostile architecture, why it is being discriminatory towards certain social groups.

Or you can come up with your own original idea or design for a place/product/app and show how it addresses a particular crime problem.

So, your task is to explain why a particular place/product or app is attracting crime/fear of crime or being abused to commit crime, or being discriminatory. And you will want to offer design solutions to help prevent crime/reduce fear of crime or opportunities for their misuse. Your explanations for why the crime/fear of crime/misuse is happening and your solutions must refer to appropriate criminological theories or concepts to justify your choices and explain why your interventions will be effective. Some examples of relevant theories or concepts – rational choice theory, routine activities theory, broken windows theory, crime pattern theory, signal crimes perspective, control signals, responsibilisation strategies, defensible space, natural surveillance/eyes on the street, crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), secured by design (SBD).

What you need to produce:
1. A one-page poster using MS Word (check google for instructions for how to create posters using MS Word). Posters can be made in landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical) mode.
2. Posters should be a single page. There should also be an additional page for references.
3. The poster should contain approximately 1000 words of content.
4. What is important is that you provide enough explanation of the problem and your solutions, and you relate these to appropriate criminological theories. Questions to think about: have you explained the theories in enough depth and detail? Is the poster easy to understand? Does it make sense? Does it look appealing and attract readers?
5. Provide evidence to support your points. Referencing should be done within text e.g (Name, Year). Quotes can be used but must be referenced correctly e.g “…” (Name, Year: pp)
6. Also provide full reference list on a separate page below your poster.
7. Posters should use google images (or even your own photographs if you want), and other relevant visual aids if applicable.
Assessment criteria:
1) Structure, use of language and clarity
2) Good understanding of relevant theories or concepts in explaining the crime/disorder problem.
3) Good understanding of relevant theories or concepts in offering preventative solutions to crime/disorder problem.
4) Good level of critical analysis shown toward relevant theories/ crime prevention measures.
5) Good alignment between definition of problem and chosen solutions e.g do the solutions fit the identified problem, are they appropriate, likely to work, cost effective, aesthetic, discriminatory, practical to implement, realistic?
6) Overall presentation and coherence
Examples of relevant theories :
• Rational choice theory
• Routine activities theory
• Crime pattern theory
• Social disorganisation theory
• Differential association theory
• Broken windows theory
• Control signals
• Defensible space

determine the extent to which economic inequality may impact the mental health of immigrants.

Aim and Outline
Aim: This study aims to determine the extent to which economic inequality may impact the mental
health of immigrants. The study will be undertaken based on the following objectives.
Outline
To identify the economic status of immigrants concerning employment/job opportunities, wage rates,
education and standards of living.
Compared to natives, immigrants have lower job opportunities and higher unemployment rates.
Besides, those who are working may receive discriminate wage rates due to their lower levels of
education, which eventually translates to lower standards of living (The Migration Observatory, 2021).
• To determine mental health illnesses that affect immigrants.
• To examine the association between economic inequality and mental health illness on
immigrants.
• To determine economic interventions to support the mental health and well-being of
immigrants.

Write a 4-5 page paper applying theories and concepts from social psychology, behavioral ethics, and critical thinking to the case study you choose. Focus on theories related to prosocial behavior, rejection, and close relationships.

Write a 4-5 page paper applying theories and concepts from social psychology, behavioral ethics, and critical thinking to the case study you choose. Focus on theories related to prosocial behavior, rejection, and close relationships.
Introduction
Prosocial behavior is doing what’s best for others and involves being fair, respectful, cooperative, forgiving, and sometimes obedient and conforming. It enables us to get along with others, to build trust, and to learn to like and love others. Antisocial behavior is behavior that either damages interpersonal relationships or is culturally undesirable, and it can even involve aggressive or criminal behavior. Social psychologists study what drives us to act in both of these ways.
Social psychologists also study our need for social acceptance and how we form relationships. Human beings are wired for relationships. We engage in relationships of all kinds, from family to acquaintances and friends to romantic partners. We all have a need to belong.
For this assessment, you will write a paper in which you apply theories and concepts from social psychology related to prosocial behavior, rejection, and close relationships. You will also be required to apply behavioral ethics and critical thinking concepts. Successful practitioners understand the dynamics of various relationships. Their understanding of that which affects a successful relationship enables them to support positive and loving relationships for their clients.
Preparation
1. Access the Riverbend City: Good, Bad, and Loving Case Studies multimedia piece to choose which case study you want to focus on and the social psychology theory, behavioral ethics concept, and critical thinking concept you want to use in your paper.
2. Use the Capella library to find two scholarly journal articles related to the social psychology theory you chose. You may choose to use one of the following articles as one of the two you are required to use:
o Reciprocity: Mahmoodi, A., Bahrami, B., & Mehring, C. (2018). Reciprocity of social influence. Nature Communications, 9(1), 1-9.
o Unrequited Love: Bamford, R. (2015). Unrequited: Neurochemical enhancement of love. Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics, 24(3), 355-360.
o Social Exchange Theory: Fallis, E. E., Rehman, U. S., Woody, E. Z., & Purdon, C. (2016). The longitudinal association of relationship satisfaction and sexual satisfaction in long-term relationships. Journal of Family Psychology, 30(7), 822-831.
You may use the following resource to supplement the information you find in your textbook and scholarly journal articles:

Discuss the differences between establishing and abolishing operations and explain why you might manipulate these Motivating Operations as part of planned behavior change

For this assignment, you will provide a long answer essay response to each of the questions below.
For each question, you are encouraged to use the peer-reviewed resources provided throughout the
units to support your responses. Please do not copy and paste the whole question into the document.
Rather, provide the question number (1-4) and a brief heading that correlates with each section of the
grading rubric.
(Ex. 1. Motivating Operations and Differential Reinforcement)
1. Discuss the differences between establishing and abolishing operations and explain why you might
manipulate these Motivating Operations as part of planned behavior change. Next, explain each type
of Differential Reinforcement (DRO/DRI/DRA/DRL), and provide a basic example of how two DR
procedures can be used to promote changes in behavior. Finally, discuss how other procedures might
be incorporated to support a differential reinforcement approach as part of a behavior reduction
component to the plan.
2. First, define stimulus and stimulus class and provide an example that demonstrates your
understanding of the concept. Next, define the concept of stimulus control and how stimulus control is
established, differentiating between generalization and discrimination of stimuli. Finally, review
Jasmine’s Case Example (transcript attached below) to examine how you would use response and
stimulus prompt fading to transfer stimulus control to a more relevant stimulus, including the
application of differential reinforcement, as part of a maintenance plan for a target behavior.
3. First, discuss the basic concept of Verbal Behavior as an operant paradigm. Next, discuss each of
the elementary verbal operants, categorizing them according to their properties of point-to-point
correspondence, formal similarity, and appropriate reinforcement according to each operant’s specific
function. Finally, provide a unique example of each verbal operant to demonstrate your understanding
of how each is applied to the development of language.
4. Discuss the concept of Derived Stimulus Relations as it applies to the development of language and
cognition. Explain the similarities and differences of how derived stimulus relations and verbal
behavior contribute to the development of an individual’s language and cognition. Finally, identify the
three parts of stimulus equivalence, and explain how each part applies to the development of derived
stimulus relations in language.
The paper should:
1). Be at least 8-10 pages in length
2). Follow assignment directions (review grading rubric for best results).
3). Use correct APA formatting per the APA Publication Manual, 7th Edition.
*Title Page
*Use proper Headings for each question
*Citations
*Reference Page
4). Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in
Standard English.
5). Be written in Standard English and be clear, specific, and error-free.
6). Use at least four scholarly sources to support the ideas presented. **You can use the scholarly
articles I have listed as well as other scholarly articles that supports the topic**

Investigate how the newly-established universities develop into research-intensive universities? First review the history of the establishment of seven British universities in the 1960s (also called plateglass universities) to illustrate how these universities formed (under what situations), the new aspects of the seven universities (curriculum, research and community engagement), and how they developed into research-intensive universities?

New Seven Universities in the 1960s

This paper tries to investigate how the newly-established universities develop into research-intensive universities? First review the history of the establishment of seven British universities in the 1960s (also called plateglass universities) to illustrate how these universities formed (under what situations), the new aspects of the seven universities (curriculum, research and community engagement), and how they developed into research-intensive universities?

I. Introduction

1. Definition:
-What are the seven universities?
-Why are they called plate-glass universities?
-How did they differ from OXBRIDGE or Redbrick universities?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_glass_university
(Please DO NOT use a source from the wiki, but you can see the name came from Beloff )

2. Background

-Why were the seven universities established? (Historical report: UGC report & Robbins report)
-What are the locations of the seven universities? (differ from red bricks, they are located in industrial cities)

-what are the academic position of the seven universities? (differ from redbricks)

3. Thesis
-what are their current research rankings?
-how do they become research-intensive universities?
(please see RAE or REF rankings on websites; each university lists their research ability and orders, paying attention to their top subjects. E.g., https://www.sussex.ac.uk/about/facts/rankings)

II. Curriculum

-What are the “new” aspects of these seven universities in the curriculum? (in the 1960s and now)
-how did these differ from red bricks, and why? (e.g., meet social development)
-How did the curriculum help them achieve success? (students satisfaction, rankings, teaching, employment…)

III. Research (Major part because this paper tries to investigate why the newly-established universities develop into research-intensive universities? )

– How did they attract faculty and scholar in their early history? (the 1960s)
– What are the “new” aspects of the seven universities in research?
– What is the achievement in their research field?
(use RAE 2008 and REF rankings 2014 2018, use table to show seven universities research abilities)
– How do they develop into research-intensive universities?

IV. Community Engagement

-relations with communities and local business/ industry (e.g., support/ resources/employment)

V. Implications ?major parts?

-For newly-established universities, what can they learn from the sevens’ experiences?
– curriculum/research/social or community engagement
(list several points)

VI. Conclusion

Explain the scenario of social worker and the young child?

Please use proper new references from the internet and health and social care books!!!
back up everything with a theory!!

This assignment is based around video clip. Please watch it from 52:00 minutes till 1:02:19.

Below is the link for the video.

Assignment title: A critique of a simulated interview.

Introduction- Explain the scenario of social worker and the young child?
Paragraph one-
1 a) demonstrate an advanced level of analysis
and understanding of the ways in which
psychological perspectives underpin and inform
communication theory?
• Carl Rodgers- what you understand of his theory?, how does this theory link to the video?
• Bowlby -Theorist – how does this theory talk about communication? How does this link to the video?
• Transition analysis- what is this theory? How does it link to the video? What are key faces of this theory throughout communication?

b) demonstrate and in-depth theoretical
understanding of the person-centred approach
• Did this happen in the video? Was the child getting the help that was needed? Was she in the centre of social workers eye?

c) recognise theories on the impact of authority
and power on interpersonal communication
• Explain theory of interaction?- in the video the residential worker allowed the resident to make her own choice. The social worker didn’t allow the child to make her own decision

d) critique and appraise a range of
communication skills theory.
• Use non verbal communication – include Solar theory
Paragraph 2
demonstrate an advanced understanding
of interviewing skills and methods of
communicating effectively with diverse groups
of people(e.g. culture, age, language,
disability)
• Explain and analyze PCA?
• Age- dealing with a 12 year old child?, age appropriate language?

Provide a critical analysis of the person- centered approach in its relation to social work practice?

Paragraph 3:
Demonstrate an understanding of how to
communicate and listen actively to others,
understand accurately their viewpoint and
recognize personal prejudices/bias.
• Social workers took time to understand the situation that the young girl was in
• Understand impact of personal prejudices? Link to a theory?
• Include how a person sits? Poor posture ( as shown in video) means that the social worker aint interested in what the child has to say?

Add theories to back the above points up. Who tells you about poor posture?

**Gerard Egan SOLER- spoken about posture theory**

Demonstrate an understanding of theories of critical reflection and how you might apply these to your own practice?
• Talk about the atkins & Murphy theory about critical reflection and back it up with the video
Conclusion:
• The video shows two different scenario of good and poor practice
• What you have spoken about
• How this interview could had been better? Poor communication took place between the child and the social worker? Include long term impact- will the child trust the social worker? Will she ask for help? Are the residential home staff better and more supportive ?
• Poor opinion?

Refrence a lot
Underpin everything with theories
