Assignment 2: RA 2: Personality Characteristics and Criminal Behavior A particular set of personality characteristics does not turn a person into a criminal. However, a criminal will have the same set of characteristics. This concept may not be easy to understand. Here is another example: all college graduates have attended college, but not everyone who attended college is a college graduate. The mistake "if A then B" is the same as "if B then A" is a common one in research, criminal investigation, and profiling. Criminal profiling is a difficult task. Complete the following three parts and present it in your report. Part I Identify at least five offense characteristics of each of the following crimes: sex offense, murder, acquisitive crime, organized crime, and terrorism. Part II Choose two offenses for those listed in Part I . Using the selected characteristics, complete the following for each of the two offenses you selected: Analyze the selected characteristics to develop a forensic profile for that particular type of offense. For example, how would you use the two offense characteristics you have selected for murder to develop inferences regarding the personality of a murderer? Explain how an offender's level of cognitive and emotional functioning, as well as social and environmental factors, could contribute to his or her maladaptive behavior in each of the above offenses. Identify and justify the types of tests and/or personality measures that might be used to gather additional information for each of the two offenses. Identify and justify the type of collateral information you would need to learn about the offender in the case of each of the two crimes. Part III Identify the differences in ethical standards between a criminal investigation and a psychological interview. Offer your recommendations for future research needed to advance the science and research of psychological profiling techniques. Discuss the different ethical considerations one must follow as an investigator and as a psychologist. Support your responses giving reasons and examples from 8–10 scholarly resources. Write a 7- to 9-page report in a Microsoft Word document. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. .

Assignment 2: RA 2: Contemporary Issues and Methods: Anonymous In today's world, technology must be considered when examining the psychology of espionage. Additionally, societal response is a key in understanding the impact of these acts. In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to analyze the relationship between cyber activity compromising national security information and the social media response. The government organization for which you work has taken notice of the actions of a group named "Anonymous" against the Church of Scientology, among others. In order to better prepare, your organization wants you to analyze, from a forensic psychological perspective, a potentially significant compromise of national security information via a cyber attack. You have been instructed to use the attack on Scientology, the HBGary attack, or other significant cyber attacks credited to Anonymous as your basis of comparison. Tasks: Using the Argosy University online library resources and other reputable, valid sources, research the group Anonymous and its cyber-hacking activities, paying particular attention to the actions against the group's methods. Use your interrogatories (who, what, where, when, how, and why) to guide your research. Write a 10- to 12-page report that analyzes the impact this group has (or may have) on the U.S. (societal impact, including economic and infrastructure), corporate America (business impact), and the government (political impact). In your report, address the following: Provide a synopsis of the group's methods, goals, and activities. Make sure you address its actions against its target as well as its overall activities, goals, and methods. Also, include an explanation of the group's members and its makeup (e.g., the demographics and characteristics of the group members). Discuss motivations and possible explanations for the group's behavior. Identify the psychological constructs and processes and explain the group's actions. For example, describe what types of social psychological constructs reinforce its membership. Social psychology research on group dynamics will help in this explanation. Analyze the impact of a potential attack on the US government. At minimum, address the following: How vulnerable is the US government to a potential cyber attack? What parts of the IC are most affected by a potential cyber attack on US systems? Why? Analyze the impact of a potential attack on society. At minimum, address the following: What role would the social media play in future incidents of espionage and counterintelligence (CI) activities? What would be society's response to the attack? Would society be supportive or nonsupportive? How would it be divided? Justify your answers. What would be the real and intangible consequences of Anonymous's hacking activities? What would be the positive and negative impacts of its actions on society? Overall, would society benefit from or be hurt by such actions? Justify your answers..

Assignment 2: Policy Identification According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 5: Engage in Policy Practice: Social workers understand that human rights and social justice, as well as social welfare and services, are mediated by policy and its implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. Social workers understand the history and current structures of social policies and services, the role of policy in service delivery, and the role of practice in policy development. Social workers understand their role in policy development and implementation within their practice settings at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels and they actively engage in policy practice to effect change within those settings. Social workers recognize and understand the historical, social, cultural, economic, organizational, environmental, and global influences that affect social policy. They are also knowledgeable about policy formulation, analysis, implementation, and evaluation. Walden’s MSW program expects students in their specialization year to be able to: Evaluate the implication of policies and policy change in the lives of clients/constituents.

Assignment 2: Needs Assessment Due Week 5 and worth 175 points You and your assigned classmate(s) have formed a human resource consulting company. You have been hired to provide training to the sales force for an automobile dealership. As part of your preparation for this consulting engagement, you and your team members must determine how best to approach the automobile dealership to engage the interest of the decision makers. Your part of this assignment is to propose the types of needs assessment tools that could be used to determine how to design and develop the automobile dealerships training programs. These could include software, models, or analysis methods. Once you complete your need assessment, you must now meet with the owner of the dealership to discuss the needs assessment. Do Not Create a Training Program!!! From the perspective of a team member, write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you: 1. Prepare, in outline form, the process your team could use to conduct the needs assessment for your client based upon the articles you selected. (You will use a hierarchical topic and sentence outline for this paper only.) Review chapter 4 on needs assessments. It discusses different types of assessments. Select the best one(s) to use to gather information. Keep in mind that you are trying to find out the organizations needs related to their sale force. Hence, you need to outline the method you are going to use to gather information and make a recommendation to management on what type of training may be required. Use this information in conjunction with your research from the week 3 discussion. 2. Identify two (2) possible impediments to this approach and discuss how you will overcome them. The text also discusses obstacles to conducting needs assessments such as time, cost, leadership buy-in, employee willingness to participate. The most common are time to conduct a thorough assessment and cost. You should mention the others briefly as supporting information. 3. Evaluate the feasibility of your approach to what is commonly done in the field. Feasibility is the likelihood your process would happen in this industry. Is your process a standard practice? 4. Explain why your needs assessment is critical to the development of the training program you plan to deliver. Your goal here is to answer what can happen if you develop training without understanding the training needs and why it is important to determine the issues correctly to avoid wasting time and money, in addition to not solving the problem. Remember you are training the sales force but the training may not be sales related it could be a process, time management, or low morale. This is what your consulting company has been hired to find out. 5. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Two resources in addition to your textbook for maximum points. Review the week 3 discussion thread where you can find other types of needs assessment processes. If.

Assignment 2: Marketing of the Acquisition by EDUS In this assignment, you will research information related to the marketing and promotion of the acquisition by EDUS and provide an assessment. Click here to review the EDUS case and consider the following: Topics for Research and Analysis Promotional Goals : Identify specific objectives related to the promotion of EDUS's acquisition of the institution. In addition, identify specific objectives related to informing potential students of new capabilities and offerings resulting from the acquisition. (Promotional goals vary. Some organizations need to create awareness of their product's benefits compared to competitors. Other promotional goals may involve communicating new uses for an item, or informing customers or lower prices.) Business Environment : Identify cultural and legal factors that might influence promotional decisions – both in announcing the acquisition within the region and recruiting new students to the institution. (In some countries, certain information is required in television commercials selling products aimed at children.) Media Plan : Analyze media availability to determine cost-efficient methods of communicating with potential students within the country and within the geographic region. (While television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet may be common in industrialized countries, developing economies may require other different media. In some countries, advertising messages are broadcast through large speakers mounted on moving trucks.) Promotional Strategy : Compare the benefits of push-and-pull promotions for acquiring new students at the institution. Devise a promotional strategy that will help EDUS expand the student body and also inform potential students of increased capability of the institution resulting from this acquisition. Economic, Cultural, and Political-Legal Environment : Investigate the economic, cultural, and political-legal environment that might affect promotional messages and media relevant to this acquisition. Recommended Actions : Recommend EDUS actions related to promotional goals, needed adaptations due to cultural or legal factors, and a media plan. Provide evidence to support your recommendations. Conclusions : Draw conclusions about the material you have presented. The opinions or judgments you present should be supported by your research. By the due date assigned , submit a PowerPoint presentation (approximately 10 slides) providing your analysis and research findings on the topics indicated. You are expected to include statistical data when possible, including tables, graphs, and other visuals that support and enhance your study. Most importantly, all written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources! Submit your document to the Submissions Area . .

Assignment 2 meets the following course objectives: Apply a sociological perspective to the social world. Analyze contemporary social issues using the sociological imagination and use sociological theories and concepts to analyze everyday life. Demonstrate the ability to identify, locate, and retrieve information related to the topics in the course. Purpose The primary goal of this exercise is to apply your developing sociological knowledge and skills to the analysis of a current event. Writing Expectations This should be 4-6 pages long, double-spaced, 12 pt font (arial or times new roman), with 1" margins. Instructions: Choosing a Current Event. A current event refers to something that is happening in the world at present and they are usually described on the news and in mass media. You must choose a report (written, from the radio, or televised) of an event that has been reported on within 3 months of the assignment deadline. Remember, the event you choose must have some relevance to the study of society, and you must properly cite the source from which you got your report. Describe the Current Event. Second, you will need to provide a brief summary of the current event. This should include details such as location, timing (i.e is this an ongoing event, does it appear to be a one time event, is this an example of an event that happens frequently), people involved, and any analysis offered by the report(er). Analyzing the Current Event. The final step in the process is conducting an analysis of the current event using knowledge you have gained from the course to-date. The most important thing here is that the analysis should not just be your opinion about the current event, but grounded in sociological theory and prior research. You will need to use at least 4 sociological concepts covered in this course to analyze the current event (i.e. social construction, stratification, social control, crime, deviance). You are strongly encouraged to use and cite sources. Sociological concepts should be clearly identified, defined and then applied. Any paraphrasing or direct quotes used from another source should include APA formatted in-text citations and a full reference at the end of the essay. This course has “Resubmission” status enabled to help you if you realize you submitted an incorrect or blank file, or if you need to submit multiple documents as part of your Assignment. Resubmission of an Assignment after it is graded, to attempt a better grade, is not permitted. DISCLAIMER: Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results. .
