According to the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

The justice system in America is supposed to be comprised of the top officials this country has to offer. Skilled men and women from across America are supposed to put their talents to work when it comes to preventing crime, and rehabilitating criminals. Lately, we have been falling short on both fronts.

They are very different in type and use, designed to help previous offenders reshape their lives. However, between the two, ...

Theories of Behaviorism and Operant Condition or Learning

Theories of behaviorism relate to principles that seek to explicate behavior in terms of overt or observable actions and responses. Behaviorism is essentially defined by the theories proposed by John Watson and B.F. Skinner, which highlight the stimulus and response mechanism as a way to observe and understand human behavior. Behaviorism highly values observable behavior because it is a manifestation of internal behavior that is measurable and may easily be recorded (Nevid, 2012). Behaviorists such as Watson and Skinner argue that the observable and measurable nature of overt behavior makes it an essential and reliable gauge of human behavior. Watson is ...

Parole or probation refers to the internationally accepted mechanism allowing the conditional release of a tried and convicted offender from a correctional facility or center into the community preceding the expiration of their sentences of incarceration as imposed by a court of law (Schlager, p. 273). This community-based supervision usually occurs during the sentence of incarceration based on the positive adjustments of the offender to rehabilitative goals established during this incarceration period. Probations or paroles are not only aimed at releasing the offenders from incarceration, but also aimed at decongesting the rehabilitation facilities as well as reintegrating the offenders back into the ...

Over the last year, the actions and acts of police forces across the country have been the focus of public, mass media and government scrutiny.

Introduction

Through the years, debates have risen over the efficiency of incarceration in stopping and preventing a recurrence of criminal behavior in the society. Many doubt if it is a significant response to crimes, and does little in preventing the increase of recidivism. In some cases, the incarcerated criminals return to the society worse than they were; they engage in more serious and even violent crimes. It results in their return to prison; this depicts the justice system’s failure in helping the former inmates’ reform and fit back into the society. An increase in the number of people who commit more ...

- Broken Windows theory - The theory asserts that untended property becomes subject to destruction, and, therefore, unpatrolled communities become prone to criminal activities (Duffee, & Maguire, 2007). According to the theory, the public administrators should rebuild the society’s trusts by placing the people’s safety first, supervising probationers in the communities rather than in the office, allocating the public resources rationally, and providing enforcement and sequential quick response in case of violations.

- It is crucial to developing partners within the community to enhance the policing aspect. The public administrators should create performance-based initiatives and establish strong ...

Many critiques of the modern day working culture have argued that the employment and bureaucracy found in the modern business organization is a form of today’s slavery. They are of the opinion that employee’s constant supervision and the lingering threat of being sacked makes them act or work not because they feel motivated, but because of the fear of unemployment. The classical school of thought believed that employees of an organization would work maximally if provided with the optimal condition of the working environment. This school of thought ignored to a greater extent the notion of human rights and ...

The short-term and long-term effects of child abandonment and neglect are not things to be taken lightly (Trocme & Wolfe, 2001). Statistics indicate that child abandonment and neglect contribute to nearly half of all annual fatalities associated with child maltreatment (Erickson & Egeland, 2002). This paper opines that annual deaths associated with child neglect can be reduced by half if decent measures are established to minimize child abandonment and neglect. In addition, statistics indicate that child neglect or abandonment tops the list of child abandonment charts. This form of child maltreatment is not only the hardest to evaluate, but also ...

Centuries ago, the Indian ideology stipulates that women should be under the supervision of men. In ancient India, women are always under the supervision of man. As a young girl, they are under the control and supervision of their father. After marriage, the lady becomes under the control and supervision of her husband. When old, the woman is automatically placed under the control and supervision of her son. However, in Buddhism, women were given equal rights, respect, and freedom as men were.

Individuals on probation or parole find themselves in a rather peculiar situation for even though they are no longer in prison they are nevertheless considered to be still in jail. When a person is released from jail and placed on probation or parole, they are given a manual detailing all the conditions for their probation or parole. The parole officer can then add or eliminate some of these conditions. These must be in writing. Part of the requirements for probation or parole is that the parolee must agree to an absolute waiver of the Fourth Amendment rights, which demands that ...

Whether or not homework serves to improve the academic performance of the student has been a question of contention in the field of social sciences for decades.

Even so, it is referred to as homework because it is not part of class work, but rather an extension of the same. The merits and demerits of homework revolve around time and the effect of such work on ...

Abstract

Introduction With ongoing overhauling of HR system in the wake of growing employee motivation, retention, and engagement; many traditional activities and practices have come under the scanner.

According to Orr, technicians love their job because of the nature of their profession. In many cases, technicians work under little or no supervision where they can implement their ideas in repairing the machines rather than rely on a manual. They work independently and apply their personal management ideas. Furthermore, they schedule their work and manage their time and records for accounting purposes. Their work is unpredictable in nature. For this reason, people cannot schedule a technician. Their job experience advances each time they handle a new job because each case differs from the previous jobs. Technicians perceive unhappy customers as opportunities ...

Introduction Criticism of present-day medical ethics is seen as fallout of the relationship between stakeholders in theory and practice.
