How psychotic disorders are very common in the criminal justice system

Discussion
This Assignment will center on how psychotic disorders are very common in the criminal justice system. It is believed that almost half of the killers of law enforcement officers meet the criteria for antisocial personality disorder.
Andrea Yates: More to the Story
The case of Andrea Yates, who drowned her five young children in a bathtub on a beautiful June morning, captured the attention of society’s legal and psychological community. The defense she used was “not guilty by reason of insanity,” which subsequently failed. The Time magazine online article, “Andrea Yates: More to the Story” examines the role of the key prosecution witness, a forensic psychiatrist who was paid $500 an hour to dispute claims that Andrea Yates was insane under Texas Law.
As you learned in this week’s unit, the term “insanity” is a legal, rather than psychological, concept. Although the case was later overturned on a technicality, the original jury did not adhere to the defense’s claim of legal insanity.
For this Assignment, you are to discuss the insanity defense and ethical considerations. To help you prepare for this week’s Assignment, review the following sources:

  1. In your text, Chapter 14: “Mental Health Services: Legal and Ethical Issues”
  2. Roche, T. (2002, March 18). “Andrea Yates: More to the Story.” Retrieved from http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,218445,00.html
  3. Duran, M. V. (2013). Juries and Insanity. Retrieved from http://www.cengage.com/custom/ems/psych/shared/video/player.html?video=jries_and_insnty_16555

Proceed with the Assignment locating one credible source from the Library or the internet about a criminal case where the defendant used the not guilty by insanity defense. You can use the Andrea Yates case. Address the following:

  1. Provide an overview of the case story.
  2. Explain why it is difficult for the defendant in the chosen story to be found not guilty by insanity in a court of law.
  3. Discuss any ethical concerns that pertain to the chosen case story.

The best answer will discuss how it can be determined whether a mental illness affected the individual’s ability from knowing right from wrong at the time the crime was committed.
Submitting Your Assignment
Referring to the textbook and one other credible source, complete the Unit Assignment Template. Complete the document in 1–2 pages, using APA writing style, and save it in a location with your first and last name in the title. When you are ready to submit it, go to the Dropbox.

Instructions
Imagine yourself in the role of a Nutrition Counselor and Josephine is your client. Josephine is a 20-year-old female who is present for purging disorder, an “Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder” (OSFED).She currently teaches salsa lessons at the community college and is in her last semester of college. She reports she is living at home and the food her mom prepares is not the healthiest because her mom is from Honduras and her father is from Guatemala, so the food is prepared differently. She indicates she has been thin all her life, although she has struggled to maintain her weight since going through puberty, and since she is a salsa instructor, she has to remain fit. She reports she feels very guilty if she has consumed fried foods during the day, but since that is the way her mom primarily cooks, she feels awful to tell her mom to stop cooking that way. She reports if she does consume too much fried foods or junk food, she will run at least 2-3 miles that day or else force herself to vomit, but all the food does not come out. She reports sometimes if she has a later class, she will not eat dinner or only eat 1 meal per day. She has tried counting calories, but then she gets so mad at herself for having more than 1200 calories it causes her to exercise more, which then leads her to feeling exhausted. She indicates she is on no medication, but does take a multivitamin when she remembers. She indicates she has gone from 110 pounds to 125 pounds over 5 years and wants to be back down to 110 or even less. She also had gone to the doctor and he was quite concerned with her lab values. She has provided you a 24 hour meal record:
Breakfast:
1-6” corn tortilla
½ cup fried beans cooked with peppers, onions and oil
½ cup rice
1 cup no sugar added orange juice
Lunch:
1 slice of whole wheat bread
2 slices turkey
1 small apple
Dinner:
2- 6” tortillas
Beef with onions, peppers cooked in oil
Tomato, onion, pepper salad (made with oil and lime juice)
2 cups of rice
Height: 5’2” Weight: 117 pounds (based on your scale in the office)

  2. Can we provide Josephine’s health and nutrition information to another health professional? Why or Why not? When is her permission required? When is it not required?
  3. In order for Josephine to continue to follow up, how do we address payment and reimbursement? How will you handle it if she has insurance? If she does not have insurance?
  4. What motivational techniques would you use to motivate Josephine to continue making progress?
  5. It is important to ensure Josephine is progressing through each counseling session. Answer the following questions regarding Josephine’s progress:

a .How often would you schedule follow-up sessions with Josephine, and why?
b. What type of information would you like to collect at the follow-up appointments?
c. How would you assess her previously set goals? How would you modify her treatment based on her progress?
d. Identify any obstacles which could impede her success at achieving these goals.
e. How would you help her get beyond these obstacles?
TIP: Notice that In order to achieve “Mastery” level on GEL 8.3, you must analyze a problem, then  generate more than one possible solution, and evaluate those solutions to find the best one.

Web Page Project Instructions
 
Included in this zip file are two documents: this one that you are reading right now and a picture of some flowers. See page 2 of this document for some specific hints on creating all the components needed to  complete this web page project.
 
Use Windows Notepad, Mac Textedit, or Chromebook Text (see the paragraph below on Chromebook for how to get started with it). Pay attention to the Save time! note on page 2.
 
Create a single web page with the following features (see Sample HTML doc on page 2 below):

  • Four single lines of text in 4 different heading styles (choose from <h1> to <h6> styles). Make each heading style a different color. Example: <h3 style=”color:blue”>
  • Two paragraphs of text (marked by <p> and </p> tags). Use two different colors (other than black) for the text in the two paragraphs. This will require a ‘style’ attribute. Example:
    <p style=”color:green”>
  • Boldface one single word in one of the paragraphs (<b> and </b> tags needed).
  • Italicize one single word in See one of the paragraphs (<i> and </i> tags needed).
  • An unordered list (bulleted list) of at least 3 items <ul> <li> </li> … </ul> tags needed
  • An ordered list (numbered list) of at least 3 items <ol> <li> </li> … </ol> tags needed
  • A JPG image <img src=”name of image file goes here between the quotes” alt=”alternate text goes here”> — note: <img> does not have a closing tag
  • Add width and height attributes to the image (after alt text insert: style=”width:NNNpx;height:NNNpx;” inside of <img> tag, where NNN are nums of your choosing
    Example: <img src=”flowers.jpg” alt=”Flowers, Longwood Gardens” style=”width:150px;height:100px;”>
  • A working link to an external web site: <a href=”exact url of web site goes here between the quotes”> Link text goes here </a>

 
Getting the file ready to submit to the Moodle drop box
 
Windows. Save the Notepad document as an HTML file.  Click File > Save As and change the ‘Save as type’ setting from ‘txt’ (its default) to ‘All files’ and then manually add ‘html’ as the file extension.  So, for example, if you were going to save the file as ‘SomeTags’, you would actually type: ‘SomeTags.html’. Submit the HTML file to the drop box in the normal way.
 
Mac. TextEdit on a Mac will automatically add an ‘.rtf’ extension to whatever file name you give your web page. So if you save ‘SomeTags.html’ to the Mac Desktop, it will show up there as ‘SomeTags.html.rtf’. You will have to manually remove the ‘.rtf’ extension afterwards so that only the ‘.html’ extension remains. Submit the HTML file to the drop box in the normal way.
 
Chromebook. As soon as you open Text (before you even start typing) go to Save As and name your file: ‘SomeTags.html’. Then start typing your actual HTML code, hitting Save every once in a while. To check your work, click Files, right-click SomeTags.html, and choose Open > View. When it’s done submit the HTML file to the drop box in the normal way.
 
Fun note for Chromebook users.  There’s also this link to download a simple dedicated web page editor named Caret created specifically to run on Chromebooks:
https://www.google.com/search?q=creating+basic+html+files+with+chromebook&rlz=1C1CHZL_enUS748US748&oq=creating+basic+html+files+with+chromebook&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.10836j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_Wj2gX72OH-bB_QaG7q74Dg12
 
 
 
Sample HTML doc with hints on how to create the required features needed for this assignment
Black = actual HTML code; can be used as is.
Blue = comments (not executed by the browser).
Brown = sample text; replace it with your own text.
Save time! Start by copying/pasting all the code below into Notepad (Win), TextEdit (Mac) or Text (Chromebook)
 
<html>
<head>
<title> Text for the Page Title goes here </title>
</head>
<body>

Your fourth heading styles goes here with its own color                                                 –>
<p style=”color:green”> Your paragraph text goes here. Make sure to type enough
text inside this paragraph tag so that it wraps around when the web page
is rendered in your browser. It might take 2-3 lines of typing to
accomplish this.
</p>
<!–        You need to create a second paragraph. Again, type enough text so that it will
Wrap around to at least two lines on the web page.                                                        –>
<!–        Somewhere inside the first paragraph surround one of the words with
<b> and </b> tags to boldface that word.  Somewhere inside the second
paragraph surround one of the words with <i> and </i> tags
to italicize that word.                                                                                                                      –>
<!–        Your unordered (bulleted) list goes in this section,
It begins and ends with a <ul> and </ul> pair of tags and with <li> … </li> pairs
of tags in between for each of the items in the list.
It will look something like this:                                                                                                   –>
<ul>
<li> first bulleted item goes here </li>
<li> second bulleted item goes here </li>
<li> third bulleted item goes here </li>
<li> and so on … </li>
</ul>
<!–        Next is your ordered (numbered) list. The format is exactly the same as what
What you did for the unordered (bulleted) list above except that you replace
the <ul> and </ul> tags with <ol> and </ol> tags.                                                              –>
<!–        Next is your image. The two lines shown below in black will work EXACTLY as
shown IF you have a pic named ‘flowers.jpg’ stored in the same folder as this

Trace the Scientific Method in a Primary Research Scientific Article

Written Assignment 1: Trace the Scientific Method in a Primary Research Scientific Article
Addresses course outcomes 1-4
-recognize and explain how the scientific method is used to solve problems

  • make observations and discriminate between scientific and pseudoscientific explanations
  • weigh evidence and make decisions based on strengths and limitations of scientific knowledge and the scientific method
  • use knowledge of biological principles and the scientific method to ask relevant questions, develop hypotheses, design and conduct experiments, interpret results, and draw conclusions

Before attempting this assignment, you might want to revisit the Scientific Method Tutorial in the Science Learning Center under the Course Content area.
While living on the former US Naval Air Station Keflavik in Iceland in 2002 (and teaching for UMUC), I began ecology experiments on growing trees in the barren landscape in collaboration with Iceland Forest Research.  Results of these experiments were published in a paper by Riege & Sigurgeirsson in the Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research in 2009.  I believe this paper serves well for your general biology assignment to trace and critique the scientific method in a primary research article.
Please do not worry that I take offense at any criticism of the article. When these manuscripts are first submitted to journals, the reviewers rake the authors through the coals and usually require major revisions before the journal will accept the article for publication.  So scientists have thick skin about heavy criticism – the good news is that the critique and revision makes the final product much stronger.
Please read and study the original paper, assigned in Week 3, then submit a 2 page review of the article that answers the following questions:
For one of the experiments in Riege & Sigurgeirsson –

  1. What was the hypothesis of this experiment? (Reminder: Hypothesis is a statement.) What question(s) was (were) the investigator asking?

2. Which is the control group? Why?
3. Which is the treatment group? Why?
4. Did the researchers follow the scientific method in their experimental design?  Explain.
5. Do you think that there may be any possible biases or other problems in this experiment?  Explain.
6. Based on the data, was the hypothesis supported, and what can you conclude from this experiment?
