vignette paper( Law enforcement)

Professional counselors and their staff are exposed to sensitive client information and records. The helpful receptionist and whose privilege videos, show how to apply both the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics (ACA Code of Ethics) and state board counseling laws to common ethical scenarios. The content explores aspects designed to call attention to favorable and unfavorable skills and techniques in handling such matters. These two videos demonstrate the limitations of confidentiality and privileged information. As a professional counselor one is expected to uphold the principles of confidentiality and privilege according to the ACA Code of Ethics and state laws. One may conclude that the helpful receptionist video shows clear violations of confidentiality. While the whose privilege video indicates the significance of insuring that counselors comprehend state laws and ethics codes pertaining to confidentiality and privilege. Furthermore, counseling professionals are held accountable for violating ethics codes and state laws as well as training staff on informed consent.

Starting In 1829, Sir Robert Peel began developing his theory of policing. These nine principles are as relevant today as they were in the 1800's. Peel established the Metropolitan Police when he served as Home Secretary of England. Since Sir Robert Peel introduced his principles of policing in the early 1800's, our country has continued to follow his ideas of effective policing. Community policing is based on Peel's concept of prevention.

This paper is a response to a video discussing the issues of confidentiality, privilege, reporting, and duty to warn. This paper looks at these issues and their explanations in the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics as well as the Georgia State Board of Professional Counselor’s ethical guidelines and provides a commentary on the laws. It was found that these issues are not always black and white, but there is some debate on these issues. Confidentiality is both an ethical and a legal responsibility yet there are often times when the ethical demands clash with the legal demands. This paper explores some of those crashes and explains what I have learned from the video and the professional and stage guidelines concerning confidentiality and its implications and how I will apply what I have learned into future practice.

When an officer of the law violates the law in which it enforces it creates mayhem and they lose the trust of the people. By obeying the laws just like the rest of the United States, they gain the social legitimacy that is needed in communities.

The ethical dilemma I wish to explore is The Duty to Warn. This refers to the duty of a counselor, therapist to breach one of the most important bonds between a client and a therapist; the law of confidentiality. The therapist has the right to break confidentiality without the fear of being brought up for legal action. If the therapist believes that the client poses a danger, or is a threat to himself, someone else, or society as a whole, the therapist must decide how serious of a threat the client may be, then if he decides it’s a serious issue, he must notify the person in danger, which would e the third party, or the police, or other people who may be in the

A survey was conducted which consist of ten questions. Each question of this survey deals with policing in America, weather it is the area in which you encountered officers to how your encounter was with them. 54 individuals of different races and ages took this survey. The survey was structured in a way to see if there is a connection between the old policing and the new age policing. In this survey, the participants must answer all the questions to the best of their ability. The participants included college student and non- college that ranged from the ages 17 and above. The participants were family, friends, and college students. This population of individuals was targeted so that the surveys’ outcome would have opinions from all

The case of Leanne presents a number of ethical dilemmas that counselors can face with their clients. Here Leanne does not want you to tell anyone what she has just told you regarding her past. By telling someone you will be breaking client confidentiality, Leanne’s trust in you, and the therapeutic relationship you have built with her. If you decide to not then you are breaking the law. Even though the sexual abuse is reported as only existing in the past the client is still a minor and living with her father. By not reporting this you are also possibly putting the client at risk of being sexually abused again.

This article discussion the duty to warn and protect in the state of Texas. Texas is one state that rejected the national standard set by Tarasoff. This article describes the difference between the two cases Tarasoff v. Regents and Thapar v. Zezulka in the duty to warn. The authors describe the case Tarasoff v. Regents case as what the state of California established their precedent for mental health professional regarding the duty to warn.

Whereas, in the state of Texas mental health professional do not have a duty to warn

Chapter 5 is the most important chapter for anyone who joins the law enforcement world. The chapter goes in depth of the policing legal aspects that anyone in the criminal justice system must know. Warren court was introduced as the ideology of offenders being protected by their individual rights. Warren Court believes it is best for the law enforcement to conduct their work by enforcing the law, however; the warren court believes individual rights is an important value. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the 4th Amendment’s definition and clauses. However, the consequence for law enforcement was not presented in the 4th Amendment.

When mental health counselors work with various clients during their career, they need to practice confidentiality and privacy when conducting one-on-one, group, or any type of counseling services. Like any medical patient, mental health clinicians need to treat their clients with dignity and respect.

Lying on the Couch by Irvin D. Yalom has been both entertaining and interesting from a counseling standpoint in that it provides a scandalous and as was in most of the cases, a look at what could go wrong if ethics in a clinical counseling setting go awry. Following the characters of Seymour Trotter, Earnest Lash, and Marshal Streider in working with their clients and with each other the ethical lessons to be learned become obviously apparent, if not emotionally painful. Although, numerous issues arise throughout the book, there were at least three that will be covered within the context of this writing. In consideration of each of these ethical breaches there will be dialog on the nature of the ethical issue or violation, where the ACA ethical code applies, ramifications of the ethical issue or violation on both parties, and application of Kitchener?s five primary ethical principles that were involved or violated. In addition, the justification offered by the characters in the book for their actions or considered actions, application to the situation in the setting of Clinical Mental Health counseling, and indication of personal response to the situation presented. Understanding that the use of these ethical principles and considerations as they apply in counseling are unequivocally valuable tools in helping a practitioner in working with clients to make comprehensive decisions that will not create conflict within their ethical parameters and are aligned with the laws

Minorities are majority of the time racial profiled by police everywhere they go. Many times it can be from driving down the highways to shopping around town. Many police will look at the color of the skin and automatic feel like minorities are criminal and up to something. Most police has become complacent with stereotyping and targeting majority minorities. In today’s society, this kind of events is very popular in the news. This society can be much better if the color of your skin was not a target.

The United States Department of Justice reported, “2011 could produce the first national decline in law enforcement officer positions in at least the last 25 years”(“COPS Office”). This decline in open law enforcement positions leaves many college graduates with fewer options in this career; in turn, officers are being less pro-active in their policing styles. The law enforcement field is also seeing less pay increases and being criticized more by the media, for a job that requires officers to risk their lives. A person could say that due to budget cuts police officers are losing efficiency and enthusiasm to do their jobs.
