1.  Welch, Weber, and Edwards identify five interpretations of the correctional debate in their content analysis of New York Times coverage of the topic.  Discuss each of the five.  Taken together do the interpretations represent “considerable evidence of politicization of punishment and criminal justice agenda setting” (p. 326)?  Why or why not?

2. The article by Reinarman and Duskin analyzes the fabricated drug story of “Jimmy’s World” by Washington Post reporter, Janet Cooke.  The article reviews “lesson learned” by asking this question: “Where does the blame lie: breakdown in editorial procedure, pathological ambition or systematic prejudice?” Answer the question based on your reading of the article.

    CJUS 230: Criminal Justice Research and Writing

    Mr. Ryan Zuidma

    The use of body-worn cameras by the police officers has helped in improving the accountability and transparency of the police since the cases of the use of force have been reduced, the relations between the police and the community have also been enhanced, and the evidential value of the incidents have been improved in the courts.

    Research Paper: Annotated Outline Assignment Instructions

    Overview

    The second step of the Research Paper Assignment is for you to write the Research Paper: Annotated Outline Assignment. The annotated outline is a tool used by criminal justice professionals to provide an outline of a research paper while incorporating annotations of the research used to support the thesis.

    Instructions

    After selecting a criminal justice topic for the Research Paper: Final Assignment and submitting your Research Paper: Thesis Assignment on the topic you chose, you will prepare the Research Paper: Annotated Outline Assignment of your Research Paper Assignment. Your annotated outline must fully support each facet of your thesis.

    The Research Paper: Annotated Outline Assignment must provide a detailed blueprint of the Research Paper: Final Assignment in current APA format and contain the following components:

    1. Thesis

    2. Three Main Headings

    3. Two Subpoints Per Main Heading (at least)

    a. An APA citation in each subpoint.

    b. 3–5 sentences for each subpoint. These sentences must explain the academic resource and how it will be used to support your thesis.

    4. A Reference Page.

    The three main headings must provide an argument about your topic rather than ask a question. When read alone, the three main headings must show what your Research Paper: Final Assignment will be arguing.

    One of the three main headings and its subsequent subpoints must incorporate a biblical worldview and provide a Scripture reference.

    The three main headings must be supported with at least 2 subpoints each. The subpoints must each be 3–5 sentences and accompanied by a current APA citation of an academic resource for each subpoint.

    The Research Paper: Annotated Outline Assignment must include a reference page with 5 academic resources published within the last 5 years and composed using current APA formatting.

    The Research Paper: Annotated Outline Assignment must be written in outline format. The Research Paper: Annotated Outline Assignment should not be written in a research paper/rough draft format.

          Summative Assessment: Substance Abuse Treatment Options

          As referenced in the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s Principles of Effective Treatment, “Addiction is a complex but treatable disease that affects brain function and behavior. Drugs of abuse alter the brain’s structure and function, resulting in changes that persist long after drug use has ceased. This may explain why drug abusers are at risk for relapse even after long periods of abstinence and despite the potentially devastating consequences.”

Principles of Effective Treatment https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/principles-drug-addiction-treatment-research-based-guide-third-edition/principles-effective-treatment

          In diverse populations, with justice-involved individuals, these effects can prove challenging to address. It is important to examine the effects of substance abuse and addiction on these populations.

          Read the Angel Case Study. 

          Assume you are an intern for a local substance abuse facility. 

          The treatment team at your substance abuse facility has requested your input for a report they will prepare for a regional organization. 

          Based on the case study, write a 800 word summary report for the treatment team, in which you: 

          1. Analyze the effects of Angel’s substance abuse and addiction on his life, including the impact on the following:

          • His marriage
          • His adult children
          • His health 
          • His legal status

          2. Explain how the adjunct substance abuse treatment support available in the correctional setting supports Angel. Include the following in your summary report: 

          • Identify one of the following programs: AA, NA, or another 12-Step program, SMART recovery, mindfulness recovery, or Peer recovery coaching. 
          • Briefly describe the program you select for Angel (how long it is, what the focus is, etc.). 
          • Briefly describe how the principles of the program will assist Angel to maintain sobriety. 
          • Briefly describe the research that supports the effectiveness of the treatment program you would like Angel to attend. 

          3. Explain why Angel would benefit from group treatment strategies for substance abuse treatment while he is ordered to the correctional system. 

          • Briefly describe the benefits to Angel from this type of therapy. 
          • Briefly describe how long Angel will be in this form of treatment. 
          • Briefly describe any special considerations that should be taken into account for Angel’s offender status with substance abuse disorders. 

          4. Discuss why you believe Angel would benefit from individual therapy to address his PTSD and anxiety disorder. 

          • Briefly describe the benefits to Angel from this type of therapy. 
          • Briefly describe how long Angel will be in this form of treatment. 
          • Briefly describe any special considerations that should be taken into account for Angel’s offender status with substance abuse disorders. 

          Include 3 references. 

          Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

          (Anxiety, PTSD, Substance Use Disorder)

          Case Study Details

          Angel is a 44-year-old separated man who says that his substance dependence and his anxiety disorder both emerged in his early 20’s after joining the army.  He says that he started to drink to “feel better” at the NCO club on base when his episodes of anxiety made it hard for him to interact with his peers.  He states that his anxiety became extreme after his first deployment to Iraq. He worked as a military police officer and was often exposed to hostile fire as his group supported operations. He also states that alcohol and now cocaine were a part of his dishonorable discharge. 

          His wife called police after an argument regarding his drinking. He shoved her and police arrested him and charged him with domestic violence (DV). He was required to attend DV classes as well as substance abuse treatment as part of the plea. He further has community service hours (48) and 2 years of probation. You are conducting the intake assessment into your treatment agency.

          Angel notes that coming off the cocaine and binge drinking contribute to low mood and increased anxiety, but he has not responded well to referrals to adjunct support services, and past inpatient stays have led to only temporary abstinence. He does not have VA connected benefits and his job as a cook offers no insurance coverage.  Yet, Angel is now trying to forge a closer relationship to his adult children, and he says he is especially motivated to get a better handle on both his PTSD and his substance use because he will be a grandfather in January. Angel states he and his wife are currently separated but talk on a daily basis.
