Cognitive Psychology: What Is Moral Behavior?

Children, starting as early as elementary school, are being educated on substance abuse. As of 2013, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, D.A.R.E., administers a school-based substance abuse, gang, and violence prevention program in 75 percent of the United States school districts. Since 1983, 70,000 police officers have taught the D.A.R.E. program to approximately 114 million elementary through high school students in the United States alone ("Is the D.A.R.E. Program Good for America's Kids K-12?"). This program is aimed at preventing drug use in elementary, middle, and high school students. A needle-exchange program implicitly encourages the exact opposite message, condoning immoral and illicit behavior. Governments should focus on discouraging drug use, providing more productive treatment for recovery, and punishing drug users instead of supplying the materials to continue their addiction. Young children have the potential to take more risks and must receive a clear message on drugs, which should coincide with the no tolerance policy they are being taught in school with implementation of the D.A.R.E. program. A needle-exchange program is more of a hopeful harm reduction campaign that sends the wrong message to young children and society as a whole. If there is to be a positive change in America regarding intravenous drug use, then the government and school programs all need to be on the same page; we

Several of the programs that are offered for the children, and the parents mainly focus on sustaining communication between the child and the parent. The insufficiency of the connection between the parent and the child, can sometimes involve the distance required for the child to travel. At times the children are found in an underprivileged situation, and are unable to visit their parent, because they can’t afford the voyage to the prison (Simmons). Other programs emphasis career pathways as well as residence reinforcement for the parent after their release. Most incarcerated mothers subsequently are limited in their parenting abilities (Ross). Plenty of educational classes are offered for aiding the parents to get back on track with their parenting duties.These courses educate the mothers about the child growth, and their behavioral control. The parent education classes are not only beneficial for the mothers, but studies show that fathers also

DARE. Drug Abuse Resistance Education. What is it? DARE is a class that teaches students, like me, how to resist and handle different situations. I took this class this year and found it very helpful. We have all been working really hard in these five months in which we have found to have come to an end. This amazing journey we have come along on was fun, and hard. Deputy Kennedy was a really fun teacher in DARE. He made fun jokes and did some funny things. The 3 key things I learned in DARE the harms of drugs and alcohol, good communication skills, and handling stress.

These are things that I learned in DARE. The Introduction, DARE is Define, Assess, Respond, and Evaluate. First, drug abuse, what is drug abuse? When friends or strangers offer you drugs, which is bad. The only drugs are good are or is medicine your doctor gives you when you have strep throat which is amoxicillin. When strangers or friends offer you drugs you should say: no. Which is the option you do choose, but if they have something wrong with them and start attacking you or beat you up, then feel free to kick then in the shin or punch them and run if it’s after school but with the stranger, run away even if you are an adult still do.

Rehabilitation, what is rehabilitation? Rehabilitation is the action of restoring someone to a normal life through training and therapy after incarcerated, addiction or illness. Rehabilitation can be used for an offender who has committed a crime and is incarcerated, someone who is struggling with addiction or illness. Rehabilitation was originated in 1779 by the British Government as part of the Penitentiary Act, rehabilitation would consist of punishment along with treatment for the offenders. (Benjamin Disraeli 2004). The purpose of rehabilitation is to treat the offender in order for the offender to return to society and be able to contribute, rehabilitation is also a punishment for breaking a law.

This also teaches to improve students decision making and substance resistance skills. Behaviors “Compliance behavior is enhanced in response to agents linked to the government and/or prestigious community organizations.” (source 1) “Compliance behavior is more likely to occur in response to individuals perceived as agents of legitimate authority.” ( source 1) Teaches enhancement of self esteem, the meaning of friendship, coping skills for saying “no”, decision making, and motivation to learn this appropriate information concerning health and social effects of drug use.

On Chapter 28, The Myth That Correctional Rehabilitation Does Not Work mainly discussed about how most of Americans would believe punishing the offender is a way of justifying what the victim endured. We rather to balance out the harm between the offender and the victim to achieve justice is known as retribution or simply, deserts. Over the time, politicians slowly leaned more on the “get tough” approach which produced mixed results. However, not all criminals need to be toughened and punished severely over a crime that is not even violent such as marijuana charges. This one of the several reasons why the word, Rehabilitation, were brought up. According to Cullen & Jonson 2011, “rehabilitation is a planned correctional intervention that targets for change the factor known through scientific studies to cause crime.” Unlike the get tough stance, which is sending the inmate to prison to reduce the recidivism rate, but studies showed that it does little to reduce; its goal for rehabilitation is to reduce recidivism rate and improve other aspects of the offender’s life. According to the studies Martinson conducted in 1974/5, he discovered that “recidivism actually reduced when there are some sort of intervention

Rehabilitation is a set of programs within the juvenile justice system that has many different therapy techniques that could be used to allow the juveniles to regress from their anti-social behavior. An example of these techniques is through an extensive amount of counseling, the proper tools to use for reentering into society, a strong work ethic, education, and modifying behavior are taught through the rehabilitation programs, which can be adapted to fit each unique

The Drug Abuse Resistance Education program known as D.A.R.E has become a very widespread and popular program throughout the United States. The program appeals to all ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic lines, which is a large part of the reason why the DARE program has grown exponentially. The program’s basic premise was meant to introduce kids to the danger of drugs, before the drugs got to them. The implementation of the DARE program appeared to be what America needed to begin to put a dent in the war on drugs.

Executive Summary America’s most popular anti-drug program D.A.R.E. has created an uproar. The D.A.R.E. program had many issues the main one being its ineffectiveness. How could the most widely used drug prevention program in the United States be deemed ineffective? What went wrong? “The prevention of drug abuse is an especially salient topic for school psychologists and other educational professionals. Schools are the primary setting for providing education and information aimed at the prevention of drug abuse. Previous meta-analyses” (Ennett, et al., 1994; West & O 'Neal, 2004) indicate that one of the nation 's most popular drug prevention programs, the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program (D.A.R.E.), was not effective in reducing illicit drug use among youths. Current evaluations have produced an array of evidence showing the effectiveness of the new D.A.R.E. curriculum. Future studies must be conducted to determine if this new curriculum is effective. This analysis will show how this once prosperous program has proven to be so ineffective the D.A.R.E. program ranges from $1 billion to more than $2 billion annually. Despite questions about whether DARE works, it appears the cost will go up by millions even as the program is retooled. the following analysis would include a meta-analysis on why the program was so ineffective what could have been done.

When exploring the aspects of the similarities and differences biopsychosocial rehabilitation of individuals with psychiatric/physical disabilities one must not focus on the characteristics first but rather concentrate on the underlying philosophies (Layon & Thomas, 2012). When assuming the underlying philosophies of biopsychosocial rehabilitation one must first look at the previous research that has already been done before and the current research (Layon & Thomas, 2012). In previous research on the underlying philosophies researchers were able to gather that metal health was divided into three different main sections which where psychosis, neurosis and personality (Layon & Thomas, 2012). However with more technologies researchers not only

Throughout the years, many processes have been created to form the rehabilitation process of criminal justice. This process has reached out to many offenders and their families by allowing them to return to the community as changed individuals. Rehabilitation has many different process, but most, if not all have been proven successful in returning offenders to the community as changed individuals.

School –based drug use- prevention programs such as DARE, Project Alert, and Life Skills Training program have been designed to keep kids from illiciting drugs. Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) is an educational program usually delivered by a police officer. The 17 week program components are learning refusal skills, teen leaders, making a public commitment not to use illicit drugs. Also, affective education components include: self-esteem building, alternatives to drug use and decision making. Research on the effectiveness of

Rehabilitation is more of a therapeutic method to help the criminal ditch crime and become a constructive member in society. “Rehabilitation involves teaching inmates silks and trades that will, hopefully, give them a chance to become law-abiding citizens once they are released from prison” (Long). This method is looked at as more of a treatment than a punishment, to guide the criminal to make better choices and live a better life.

In this essay I will discuss theoretical principals of rehabilitation of a particular patient I cared for while on clinical placement. It will focus on the role of the multidisciplinary team involved in this rehabilitation process post acute myocardial infarction and the education and support given to the patient and her family during the discharge planning process. Also I will be including statistics and evidence of pathophysiology. The National Service Framework for Older People (Department of Health, 2001) sets out eight standards including standard three about intermediate care services that promote independence and provide effective rehabilitation services. Active rehabilitation is seen to reduce the risks of hospital readmission,
