Intimate Partner Violence
1616 unread replies.1616 replies.
Van Wormer and Bartollas (2022) put forth five separate theories or viewpoints as to the cause of domestic violence in this week’s reading: Structural stress, psychological viewpoints, cultural/patriarchal theory, systems theory, and feminist explanations.
For this post briefly compare and contrast each theory or viewpoint and justify which you believe holds the most merit. Keep in mind that a theory is often a rationale that seeks to explain the majority of events, but is usually not a general rule. Your job is to state which theory holds the most merit in your opinion.
The initial post must be at least five 500 words.

Overview
In this course, you have learned the importance of different communication styles, methods, and approaches. Now, you are learning about crisis communication techniques and how to use them to effectively communicate. This assignment will help you practice identifying when to use different crisis communication techniques in different situations.
Prompt
For this assignment, you will need to choose which crisis communication techniques you would use at different points of time in two different scenarios.
Scenario One
You are working as a Department of Children and Families (DCF) counselor, and you are meeting with a young, single mother at the DCF office. The mother is present with a close female friend, and you, as the DCF caseworker, must deliver a custody order from the family court. The mother has been deemed temporarily unfit to care for her daughter, who is two years old. As the meeting begins, the mother is seated in a chair, holding her daughter. The mother thought the meeting was a regular monthly meeting and does not know that she is about to lose custody of her daughter. You tell the mother about the custody order stating, “I am sorry about this, but this is the best for your daughter, and you, right now.” The mother begins to cry loudly and is refusing to let go of her daughter.
At this point, what crisis communication technique would you use to immediately handle the situation, and why?
An hour has passed; the mother still will not comply.
You now need to change your choice of crisis communication technique to handle the situation. What crisis communication technique would you use now, and why?
Scenario Two
A security officer (SO) at a local power plant responds to a report of a small group of protestors at the main gate to the property. The SO observes five demonstrators with signs demanding cleaner plant emissions, and they want to deliver a letter to the president of the power company. When asked, they state they will not leave until they deliver the letter. The ages of the demonstrators range from 65 to 80 years old. The SO advises the group, “You are trespassing on private property. I have called the police, and you will be subject to arrest if you do not leave.” The group responds loudly, “Hell no, we won’t go!” When the police arrive, the group is again told to leave. In response, they begin to blow bubbles at the officers.
Acting in the role of the police officer, what crisis communication technique would you use in this situation, and why?
Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:
Identify a crisis communication technique to immediately handle the situation in Scenario One.
Provide a rationale for the identified technique to immediately handle the situation in Scenario One.
Identify a new crisis communication technique for Scenario One.
Provide a rationale for the new crisis communication technique for Scenario One.
Identify a crisis communication technique for Scenario Two.
Provide a rationale for the identified technique in Scenario Two.
What to Submit

1) The relationship between substance uses and delinquency is a complicated one.

1) The relationship between substance uses and delinquency is a complicated one. Analyze the factors that can be related to both drug use and delinquency. In the event that you ever drank alcohol or used drugs as a teenager, consider how these various factors led (or did not lead) you to engage in delinquent behaviors. Or did you find that engaging in delinquent behaviors led you to start using drugs and/or alcohol? Explain.”
2) After watching the video on the neurological implications and relationship to delinquent behavior, how much of an impact do you think violence on television and in the movies (fictional violence) has on aggressive behavior in youth?

The outcry over the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice is related to the widespread perception that their deaths were one of the violent outcomes experienced by youth of color after they are stereotyped and assumed to be dangerous.
What are some ways that people are challenging these stereotypes and assumptions?
What are some additional social changes that you think are necessary to prevent the use of deadly force against youth of color?

REPORTING AND PERCEPTIONS
An elderly man is exploited financially by his caregiver and does not report it. An undocumented immigrant is robbed at her workplace. A woman enters a police station to report a sexual assault that occurred a year earlier. A bystander captures a school shooting on his cell phone. All of these experiences contribute to the crime landscape and complicate statistics and perceptions.

Submit a 450- to 750-word paper in which you address these two parts:
Part 1: Crime Reporting
Explain how crime is reported by criminal justice authorities to the government.
Explain why 50% of serious crime may go unreported by citizens. Explain how this affects crime statistics kept by government entities, and support your explanation with examples from the reading.
Explain the factors that have led to a decrease in violent crime.
Part 2: Technological Influence
Explain how technology has affected the perceptions of safety and violence in society. In your explanation, refer to a current event or professional example and to the learning resources.

Assignment Details
Computer technology has provided the criminal justice system with a number of benefits such as program algorithms that identify scanned fingerprints and facial recognition. It has increased intelligence and record keeping capabilities. However, it has provided literally millions of potential victims of crime. It started out with financial crimes (such as fraud and ransom software), and it progressed to luring victims to locations for murder, rape, and kidnapping. Victims of computer crimes include the criminal using social media as a weapon.
The commander of a newly formed cyber-crime unit is very knowledgeable about fraud and various financially motivated viruses. The one thing he is not that familiar with is the impact that social media has on victims of crimes such as cyber bullying and cyber stalking.
The commander has you temporarily attached from the human trafficking and sex crimes unit to bring his cyber teams up to date on how to understand what cyber victims of stalking and bullying are going through and how best to approach them for maximum effective investigation.
Devise a plan on explaining the aspects of cyber bullying and cyber stalking to the cyber-crime unit.
Focus your discussion on the following:
Identify three social media websites and explain how they are used to carry out cyber stalking and cyber bullying crimes.
Explain why comments made on social media are so impactful on the emotions of the victim.
Identify the types of cyber-crimes that may ultimately lead to a physical crime against the victim
Advise the cyber-crime unit team members on what types of assurances should they provide the victim to obtain his or her cooperation in the investigation and to ultimately keep him or her safe.
