Naturalistic Observation

 Description:

For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to engage in naturalistic observation.

Instructions:

As you begin observing individuals in their natural environment, pay close attention to their behavior. You may find it helpful to bring a notepad and take objective notes. Since this is a naturalistic observation, focus solely on what you can see—do not interpret or analyze the behavior while observing.

Step 1: Review

Begin by reviewing the assigned readings and any additional materials provided in this module.

Step 2: Observe

Choose a public space where people naturally gather (such as a farmers market, mall, playground, fair/carnival, etc.) and observe the environment and behavior of individuals for 30–45 minutes.

After your observation session, reflect on what you saw and begin forming a theory about human behavior based on your experience. Prepare a written response that addresses the following questions:

  1. What was the location, time, and date of your observation?
     
  2. What specific behavior did you choose to focus on?
     
  3. Based on your observations, what general insights can you make about human behavior?
     
  4. Were there any notable patterns or similarities in how people behaved?
     
  5. Did you observe any differences in behavior across age, gender, race, or other demographics?
     
  6. Can you identify any potential research questions or hypotheses that emerged from your observation?
     
  7. What do you see as the strengths and limitations of this research method?
     

Step 4: Submit Your Work

Write up your findings and analysis in a Word document. Your submission should be 2–4 pages in length, formatted according to APA guidelines (12-point font, double-spaced).

    Law – Criminal Wk 2 Summative Assignment: Criminology Presentation

    Assignment Instructions

    As a crime analyst, you will conduct research in criminology and use the data that you find to explain fundamental theories on the causes of criminal behavior. Crime analyst teams frequently use evidence-based theories to study crime, integrate research and theory, and discuss their findings using written and verbal communication to determine patterns and make crime-prevention plans.

    Scenario

    A team conducting a strategic analysis of changes in recent crime in your state has asked you to give a presentation to an affected community. They have asked for your help using evidence-based theories to interpret the criminal behavior and reveal potential patterns that can be used to inform crime-prevention efforts. 

    Preparation

    Select data or an event that occurred in your state within the past 12–24 months involving charges for a particular type of crime. You can use the Interactive Data Analyzer from the U.S. Sentencing Commission to view data on crimes by federal offenders or view the FBI’s What We Investigate press release search tool on the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) website to locate violent crime events in the news. Align your chosen crime to a school of thought or criminology theory presented so far in this course that explains the criminal behavior. 

    Assessment Deliverable

    Using real-life information from your state about a crime of your choice, create a 10- to 12-slide presentation for the affected community, as if you were a crime analyst explaining fundamental theories on the causes of the recent criminal behavior.

    Include the following in your analysis of the criminal behavior using an evidence-based theory:

    • Explain at least 2 of the school of thought or criminology theory’s key principles. Include any assumptions underlying the development of the theory or give relevant examples that show how to interpret the theory.
    • Defend why your selected school of thought or criminology theory is the best explanation for the selected criminal behavior exhibited in the data or event.

    Cite at least 2 scholarly sources in your presentation as evidence to support your explanation. At least 1 source should show the data about the crime you selected.

    Formatting Requirements

    Download and review the Presentation Template Example. This example has been customized to reflect your summative assessment presentation components and will help you get a better idea of how to organize your presentation so that you can focus on the slide content. Inputting your content into this presentation template is optional; you can use presentation software and design layouts of your choice to customize your presentation’s appearance (i.e., color, images, and font). However, ensure you have faculty member approval in advance to use other software.

    Whether you use the presentation template example or another template of your choice, include the following slides and topics in your presentation:

    • Title
    • Introduction 
    • Example of recent data or event
    • School of thought or recent criminology theory for this case
    • School of thought or theory key principles
    • Theoretical explanation of criminal behavior
    • Conclusion 
    • References
    • Presentation recording link (if recording using video software)

            As HIM director of a healthcare system, you have been appointed to a team of individuals to develop a rationale for a Data Governance (DG) program

             

            1. As HIM director of a healthcare system, you have been appointed to a team of individuals to develop a rationale for a Data Governance (DG) program. In one of the first team meetings the agenda is to discuss and develop a list of key factors for DG program success and explain why each is critical for achieving a viable DG program.

             a. Create the supporting document that will be presented at an Executive meeting to help the CEO and other executives decide about how to structure the DG program. (25 points)

             2.  Many hospitals need to track trends about patient outcomes to improve healthcare delivery. However, they often lack the tools necessary to achieve that goal. At University Hospital, the database management systems (DBMS) administrator is responsible for creating and maintaining databases. Several departments have asked him to develop real-time analytics and visualizations to track patient trends. These real-time analytics and visualizations would be based on standard simple queries. They also want to keep track of all the data they document and have had trouble creating a system that is modeled well for easy access.

            a.  Evaluate if the DBMS administrator should choose a NoSQL database or a relational database for real-time analytics and visualization?

            b. For the system the database administrator must build to track all the data University Hospital documents, what are the database design steps the database administrator should follow to ensure the information is organized and stored for easy access? Please describe each step.
