To prepare:
Review the Crime Data Resources located in the Learning Resources this week to view the types of crimes committed in certain areas.Note: If you are an international student, you may find data for your country at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime website located in the Learning Resources this week on which to focus for this Discussion.Would the crime be categorized as expressive or instrumental or a combination of the two? Explain your rationale. Alternatively, you may select a state/city/community within the United States from the Bureau of Justice Statistics and/or Federal Bureau of Investigation websites.
Review the Week 3 Case Studies document and consider the types of crimes and influencing factors associated with each of the cases presented.
Select one case study from the Week 3 Case Studies document on which to focus for this Discussion and attempt to think like an offender by considering the circumstances and experiences the person may have had that drove them to commit a crime.
BY DAY 3
Post a summary of the case you selected and your responses to the following questions:
Would the crime be categorized as expressive or instrumental or a combination of the two? Explain your rationale.
What influencing factors may have contributed to the subjects crime or criminal behavior and why?
How might the subject have rationalized their behavior?
Why might one person commit a crime while another person with a similar background does not? Explain your rationale.
Would you have behaved in a similar way? Why or why not?
Describe a hypothesis test study that would help your work or conclusions in some way. Describe what variable would be tested and what would be your guess of the value of that variable.
Describe a hypothesis test study that would help your work or conclusions in some way. Describe what variable would be tested and what would be your guess of the value of that variable. Then include how the result, if the null were rejected or not, might change your conclusions or actions in some way.
I decided to choose nutrition can improve energy level. The variable would be between proper nutrition intake with an improved energy level and there would be discussion on fi they were to accomplish more task throughout the day, feeling less groggy when waking up and feeling less brain fog throughout the day. My guess would be there would be an increase in energy level and productivity. if the null was rejected it could be due to was there consistent meal plan that was upheld through the experiment or as stated by Bo et. al, (2020) claim even the gut microbiome can conflict the results and how each person process’ food for energy. Academy Nutrition Information Services Team (2023), offer insight of what cues to utilize to know when to eat and what to eat to improve energy levels. In the research a complete meal plan based on the person’s weight and energy expenditure would be evaluated and should be maintained throughout study.

Describe what are the basic principles of phonics instruction?
Knowing the content and methodology of phonics, high-frequency words, and syllabic analysis is essential if teachers intend to be able to help all of their pupils, both struggling and achieving readers, succeed. The chapter emphasizes the importance of phonics (if needed), high-frequency (sight) words, and syllabic analysis as tools for decoding words, but emphasizes that these elements must be taught and applied in the context of real reading and must be adapted to fit the needs of older students and struggling readers. Monitoring progress and gearing instruction to students level of development are emphasized. A system for leveling books according to the decoding skills needed to read them is presented. Fluency is also discussed. To empower readers to create their own instruction, the chapter presents basic concepts essential for planning a word recognition program: major consonant and vowel correspondences, generalizations, single-syllable and multisyllabic patterns, and methods and materials for teaching phonics, high-frequency words, and syllabication. Techniques for fostering fluency are presented in detail
In this discussion, based on your reading of the chapter ,indicate your understanding of Phonics awareness by responding to the questions below. Reflect upon and discuss ALL Two of the following questions
1. What does it mean if a 5-year-old child writes pez tak me yet u (Please take me with you)? what instructional help would you give?
2. What are the basic principles of phonics instruction?
STEP 1: First, write a response with at least Five substantial sentences, integrating concepts you learned from the reading and other materials (include links with necessary). Show that you can think critically on the topic by integrating your own thoughts, analysis, or experiences.
Describe an instance in which you have seen in the media a discretionary decision made in criminal justice:
According to Maartje van der Woude, discretion refers to “the freedom, power, authority, decision or leeway of an official, organization or individual to decide, discern or determine to make a judgment, choice or decision, about alternative courses of action or inaction” (2016). For this first discussion, you will introduce yourself to your peers and describe an instance in which you have seen a discretionary decision made in the criminal justice field.
Include the following in your initial post:
Introduce yourself to your peers:
Who are you, and what do you do?
Why are you interested in criminal justice?
Describe an instance in which you have seen in the media a discretionary decision made in criminal justice:
This can be an instance that you read about in the news, saw on TV, or read online. Please focus on a public discretionary decision and refrain from sharing a personal example.
This can be an instance that occurred in any branch of the field: law enforcement, courts, or corrections.
Provide background information regarding the incident. Address all aspects of what occurred: who, what, when, where, why, and how.
In response to two of your peers, state whether you agree or disagree with the discretionary decision that was made. If you agree with the discretionary decision, explain why you support it. If you do not agree with the discretionary decision, explain what could have been done differently to produce a better outcome. Remember to always be respectful when replying to peers, even if you do not agree with their stance and/or rationale.
