Violent Behavior Case Study: An Inspector Calls

Over the past few years, there has been steady increase of law enforcement violence, brutality and deadly force. Many have said the news media along with social media has shed more light on these incidents and caused negative backlash from society as a whole. The spotlight of these incidents has also shown that this violence seems to be racially driven. Blacks and other minorities seem to be the targets of these attacks from those who we trust to protect and serve. The public has begun to cry out because African Americans and other minorities seem to be the targets of the public attacks. Because of the public outcries, it is necessary to identify the major issues related to these acts of violence and excessive force by law enforcement and demand that the justice system and law enforcement agencies rectify the situation.

Violence can be harmful and destructive to the psychological, physical or material state of others (Steadman & Cocozza, 1978). When the offender is a forensic psychiatric patient it is considered that the individual is unfit to stand trial or unable to understand the responsibility and reality of the crime (Douglas, Ogloff, & Hart, 2003). Judicial systems take into consideration to what extend the crime was commited by a person due to a mental dissability and resprctfull mental health institutions require reliable tools for mental health risk assessment and also management of offenders (Gendreau, Little, & Goggin, 1996; Doyle, Dolan & McGovern, 2002); Also needed, to assert equitable

The law enforcement was created to bring peace and safety among the community where it is needed. And we were all taught to respect them. But quite frankly some of their knowingly wrongful actions made the entire law enforcement seem awful. And they broke our trust and respect for them all. Today, there has been a plethora of killings among black men by the police. Five years ago, when the death of Trayvon Martin occurred, pain and anger was then brought upon his families, friends, his community, and nationwide. They wanted justice to be served for their lost loved one and they continued to fight for it. It seemed to what might had been the last of the innocent and brutal killings among young black men by an officer. But unfortunately, after two years had passed, a few other killings occurred. There was Dontre Hamilton, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown Jr., etc., who were all fatally shot by an officer multiple times and the killings sadly continue to rise tremendously.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (Martin Luther King Jr.) The recent injustice produced by police misusing lethal force to African-Americans is increasing much violence and suffering around the nation. This inappropriate use of lethal force by police must be stopped by utilizing cameras, and further training; and if that doesn’t work the federal Government must get involved and investigate these departments.

The Violence Risk Appraisal Guide (VRAG) is an actuarial assessment tool developed in 1993. The assessment is a series of twelve questions identified by researchers to determine the potential risk for recidivism in violent and nonviolent offenders if released into the community. Results of the VRAG have been replicated in various studies, and it has proven to be an effective way to determine potential recidivism. Since its creation, additional tools have been developed using the VRAG as a foundation. These tools are known as the SORAG, and VRAG-R. Although the VRAG was designed to assess general violence, the most common use of the assessment in the United States legal system is to determine future risk of sex offenders. Overall the use of

Conduct disorder is an externalizing childhood disorder and involves a child displaying behaviors that violate societal norms or other people’s own rights. The causes of such deviant and aggressive behavior may be linked to genetic, neurobiological, psychological, and sociocultural factors. Some propose that peer influences may also be etiological factors to such disorders. First, characteristics of aggression are generally more heritable than other delinquent behaviors such as stealing. It is also suggested that the MAOA gene on the X chromosome responsible for the break down of certain neurotransmitters is less active in those with conduct disorder. However, studies show that there is only an increased risk for conduct disorder among children when the environmental factor of being maltreated co-occurs with the decreased MAOA activity.

American police and subcultural support. This study on the use of excessive force by American police reveals the obstacle of administrations to implement use of force policy. The author connects police subculture to resistance of administrative policy on use of force and gives solid rationale as to the development of behaviors and perceptions within the policing subculture. The goal of the study is to understand why POs tolerate use of force within their organization and how officers view these breaches in department norms.

This learner thinks that once the organization or system can understand the causes and the behavior of violence crime within their neighborhood, then they will be able to add measures, step, or both to prevent this type of behavior within their communities/neighborhood and apply them skillfully. Therefore, this learner will explain the main tenets of the perceptions of violence within a community as it relates to public safety leadership, and explain the reasons behind this learner’s perception, and evaluate the credibility. We will also take a look at what types of challenges the public safety field has when dealing with violence’s. Once that is addressed we will evaluate whether the personal perceptions of violence has changed, or is it reinforced, and try to gain an understanding how one might address ethical implications of perceptions of violence for professional practice in the public safety field which will help us when ethical or unethical matter come up within our organization. That when it does we will have some form of guide to follow to address these issues.

Patient aggression and violence against staff members and other patients is a concern in psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU). In a 2013 national survey of healthcare staff by NHS England, 15% reported experiencing physical violence from patients (Duxbury 2014). In a study by Ross et al, 21% of patients had experienced an aggressive incident with another patient during their first 2 weeks of hospitalization. Aggression and violence is common in PICU and resolving aggressive occurrences is a key duty for staff .

Due to the time constraints regarding the hiring process, the interviewers for this process will undergo a brief 5 day training. A brief training is recommended if there are time constraints and if the interview is highly structured (Campion et al., 1997). The mandatory 5 day training will take place at headquarters in the midwest region. The training will include a brief discussion on why the interviews are being conducted followed by what an interview actually entails. Other topics covered during the training will be the constructs relevant to the job, information on how to evaluate interview questions (using the anchored scales provided), biases related to interviews, and last, simulations involving the interviewers conducting a mock interview and rating it appropriately. This training will ensure that each interviewer was given the same information and tools to conduct the

A. The juvenile may not feel remorseful for his acts because the money he was getting was going to kick start his plans of getting a real job and be a part of society so he has conflict with his id and super ego.

One of the primary functions of schools is to provide a safe environment conductive to learning. Although cases of school violence have been steadily decreasing over the past three decades, the safety of the school environment is still an issue. According to the National Center for Educational Statistics, in 2011, 33% of students in grades 9 through 12 reported that they had been in a physical fight in the previous 12 months, and 12% reported that they had fought on school property. 17% of high school students reported that they had carried a weapon anywhere on at least one day during the previous 30 days, while 5% admitted carrying a weapon on school property. For students aged 12-18, the rates of violent victimization in 2011 were higher at school than away from school. Students are not the only ones to face the problem of physical violence at school. During the 2007-2008 school year 7% of teachers were threatened with injury by a student from their school.
