Mental Health Conditions and Substance Abuse in Adolescents
Restate the aims of your research Then identify the population and the variables. Finally, refine your research question.
First, revise and state the purpose of your study:
Example
Purpose: The purpose of the research is to compare level of trauma stress between adults on the autism spectrum who have experienced workplace bullying and those who have not experienced workplace bullying.
Next, identify the population and variables in your study. Provide an operational definition of the variables and identify the level of measurement for each variable.
Example
Population: The population is employed adults on the autism spectrum
Independent variable: The independent variable is workplace bullying. This variable is defined as whether the person has experienced workplace bullying or not. The level of measurement would be nominal because there are two categories: bullied/not bullied.
Dependent variable: The dependent variable is the trauma stress effect of bullying. This variable is defined as level of trauma stress. The level of measure would be interval or ratio because the measurement tool will give trauma score.
Now, refine your research question. Make sure your population and variables are included in the question:
Example
Do adults on the autism spectrum who experience workplace bullying have higher trauma stress levels than adults on the autism spectrum who have not experienced workplace bullying?

The cities of the United States have had respective policing institutions since their inception, and they act quite independently where the federal government can play very little in managing its issue. Nationally over the years policing due to bad handling of public complaints which got the name “police brutality”–which also took place in different cities. Eric Garner, a 43-year-old black man died on July 17, 2014, on the street of Staten Island, New York when the police were trying to arrest him for selling single cigarettes from packs without tax stamps. Michael Brown Jr., an 18-year-old black man died due to a police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri. Similarly, George Floyd’s death place in the street city of Minneapolis. Life 9-minute footage of George Floyd’s death was not a single phenomenon of American City Policing similar incident took place in 1991 in Los Angeles where four LAPD officers had done similar acts against an African American motorist that was videotaped and telecast. Turning brutality against African Americans has become quite a recurring phenomenon in many cities of America. In American cities, some police due to lack of proper training act brutally “police brutality” in general has become a part of criminal justice textbook material. Currently, our aim is to study the law enforcement agency like city police departments of the Commonwealth of Virginia. For that matter, you have carried out a couple of different inquiries now you have to write a research proposal—you will write a research proposal. I will assist you; however, you must be committed and continue working routinely. Do not expect to complete this type of work in short-time intensive-care-type work.

Answer the questions below based on the following case study.
A 20-year-old woman is brought to the local emergency department (ED) by her family. She appears restless, pacing around the waiting room, and her parents say that she has recently been asked to leave her job as a tattoo artist. She has not slept for four nights, and her speech is rapid and quickly wanders off the point. She had recently purchased a $20,000 car and a $40,000 van to jump-start her mobile tattoo business in Naples, Florida. She is very reluctant to remain in the ED department because she has far too much to do and considers it a waste of everyone’s time. She believes that she is far too important to be held back by minions.
Summarize the clinical case.
What is the DSM 5-TR diagnosis based on the information provided in the case?
Which pharmacological treatment would you prescribe according to the clinical guidelines? Include the rationale for this treatment.
Which non-pharmacological treatment would you prescribe according to the clinical guidelines? Include the rationale for this treatment excluding a psychotherapeutic modality.

This week you’ll develop a SWOT analysis and identification of strategic issues for the organization you’ve chosen for the term. Develop a list of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges/threats based on the information you’ve collected and researched (in-text citations and references are required). For the SWOT analysis, do a separate list under each category (it’s fine to use short phrases rather than complete sentences, if desired). This information typically comes from your personal experience with the agency if applicable, the internal documents you found in the Week 2 Deep Recon, informational interviews, and external research. External sources can include things like newspaper articles, think tank reports, government documents, peer-reviewed articles, and more.
Then, using the SWOT analysis, identify 3 strategic issues the organization needs to address. Refer to your workbook (Worksheet #35, Master Strategic Issue Statement, p. 148) for how to do the write-up on the issue. NOTAE: Instead of answering all of Question 2 on Worksheet #35, you can address this instead: Why is this an issue? Why does this issue exist? Is this an issue a strength, weakness, opportunity, or threat? Explain why very briefly.”

CJ 315 Module Three Practice Activity Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
In this activity, you will explore the experience of the victim in the criminal justice system. You will choose a scenario and write a victim impact statement from the perspective of the victim in the scenario.
Prompt
In this module, you learned about victim impact statements (VISs). VISs commonly address “the harm or trauma, the economic loss or damage to victims as a result of the crime, and a victim’s reaction to the proposed sentence or disposition” (Takahashi & James, 2019). They can be in written format, in an oral presentation, or even a pre-recorded audio file or video. For this practice activity, the format will be written. First, read each of the scenarios below. Next, choose one of the scenarios. Then, explain the purpose and effect of VISs. Last, write a VIS from the perspective of the victim in the scenario chosen.
Victim Impact Statement
Scenario 1:
It’s a normal sunny Saturday afternoon. Your spouse asks you if you want to take a ride up the coast. You hesitantly agree because you need to pick the twins up at your mother’s house. Your spouse suggests that you both pick up the twins early and make it a fun family day. You and your spouse pick up your twin boys, and you begin your journey. You enjoy the warmth of the sun beating down on your face as you close your eyes to soak in the heat. Then you wake up in an emergency room. Your spouse and two children are gone. You learn that a drunk driver crossed over into your lane and hit your vehicle head-on, killing your spouse and children instantly. The drunk driver walked away without injury.
Victim Impact Statement
Scenario 2:
You are a single mother of an 11-year-old boy. He is a good student but has had difficulty making friends. Recently you’ve noticed he has been hanging around an older boy from the neighborhood. You have heard rumors about this older boy being “bad news.” As your son begins to hang around with this boy, his grades decline, and now you are worried for your son. You confront your son about his new friend, and he becomes angry. He storms out of the house and goes missing for two days. On the third day, you hear a knock on the door. It is the police. They have found your son. He has been shot and killed in a gang-related shooting. You discover that the older boy is part of the gang and that he is the one who shot your son because he wanted his sneakers, which you had just bought for him for his birthday, and your son did not want to give them to him.
Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed for your chosen scenario:
Explain the purpose and effect of victim impact statements (50–100 word
raft a victim impact statement from the perspective of the victim (150–200 words)
What to Submit
This assignment should be 200 to 300 words in length. Any references must be cited in APA style. See the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations. Use APA referencing style.
