...raped". Nobody deserves or asks for a sexual assault to happen. It does not matter what the victim was wearing, what she was drinking, the fact that she was on a date, or that she may have left her doors unlocked. ((Crisis Intervention in Criminal Justice and Social Service, Hendricks & Hendricks, P.292). 4. Women who take extra pre-cautions "do not get raped". No woman is safe from rape, regardless of any extra pre-cautions she may take. There is never guaranteed protection from such an act. (Crisis Intervention in Criminal Justice and Social Service, Hendricks & Hendricks, P.292) 5. It is not possible to rape a victim who "wants to be raped". Nobody wants to be raped, and all victims have a different reaction to their attack. Some women fight back, others are paralyzed with fear, some women are quiet and some scream for help. None of these responses are ever indicators that a victim wants to be raped. (Crisis Intervention in Criminal Justice and Social Service, Hendricks & Hendricks, P.292). 6. If a woman can no longer fight off her attacker, she should just simple "lay down and enjoy it". Rape will never be a pleasurable experience for a victim. It simply cannot be enjoyed when someone is being forced, threatened or harmed into a sexual situation. (Crisis Intervention in Criminal Justice and Social Service, Hendricks & Hendricks,...

...02459, USA Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, USA Abstract: Outreach and engagement are regarded by many who work in homeless programs as essential services. Outreach on the streets and in shelters is often the first point of contact for people who are not served by traditional sitebased services and is often the first step in engaging homeless people in services. While outreach and engagement are critical components of the response to homelessness, consensus is lacking about the nature and effectiveness of these services. The purpose of this paper is to examine what is known about outreach and engagement for people experiencing homelessness. The authors review quantitative studies that examine outcomes and augment this understanding with information from qualitative studies and non-research literature. The latter provides information about the goals of outreach, assumptions and values, staffing issues, and consumer involvement. The paper concludes with implications for practice, policy, and research. Keywords: Homeless/homelessness, outreach, engagement, review. INTRODUCTION At a recent discussion among outreach workers in Washington, DC, one participant described the reasons for providing outreach to people experiencing homelessness: “Waiting for people to come to us didn’t work…so what we’re doing is going to where people are comfortable, to where they are right now, because that’s probably most effective.” This description...

...organization’s life “Humanitarianism occurs where the political has failed or is in crisis.” As we discussed in lecture, even if an entity proclaims neutrality, entering a politically-caused humanitarian crisis, means, in a sense supporting the powerful actors responsible. Sometimes this support is quite literal, providing assistance without discrimination can mean risking physically strengthening bad actors. In other situations, where governments fail their people on purpose, as was the case with Ethiopia’s political manipulation of its famine in the 80s, swooping in to fill in for the neglect of the powerful while leaving the political causes unchallenged means abandoning a neutral position and supporting the power. Regarding Ethiopia’s famine, MSF decided to break its public silence and publicly express its opposition to government policies. However, as Redfield illustrates in his book, these public assertions are often risky and can jeopardize the organization’s humanitarian opportunity to...

...Classrooms were locked down for three hours. A few days ago, a teacher at your school said she saw in the crisis handbook that following a crisis, teachers should look for student behavior that is out of the ordinary as a way of identifying students who may need to see the school counselor. The student she is concerned about is a seventh grade (13 year old) Asian male named Tai. She said that he seems to be more withdrawn since the shootings and believes one of the students who were shot was a friend of his. Tai is new to the school this year and participates in the free lunch plan. Case Conceptualization and Needs Assessment Having a comprehensive crisis management plan in place allows members of the school staff and community to be aware of policy and procedures related to identifying students who may be in crisis. A crisis management plan should detail student behavior which may be signs of mental illness or crisis. In doing so school staff have criteria in place that helps identify those who may need assistance. According to Allen et al., the role of the school counselor is defined by the American School Counselor Association's (ASCA, 2000) by the statement, "the professional school counselor's primary role is to provide direct counseling service during and after the incident" (ASCA), school counselors are expected to serve students and school personnel during times of crisis by providing individual and group counseling; consulting with administrators, teachers, parents, and...

...Interventions Case Study Vivian Martinez BSHS/445 March 16, 2015 Alysha McCuistion Introduction Alcoholism ranks among the top three leading causes of death in the United States (Anthony, Warner, & Kessler (1997). Therefore it is not uncommon that alcohol and drug abuse will result in many types of crisis situations. The crisis that comes about as a result of alcohol or drug use are difficult to manage primarily because of the potential for concurrent medical complications. Psychoactive substance use can lead to dependence syndrome - a cluster of behavioral, cognitive, and physiological phenomena that develop after repeated substance use. Finding effective treatment for and prevention of substance abuse has been difficult. The 2012 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse estimated the number of users of illicit drugs in the United States ages 12 and over to be about 24 million. In addition, the survey estimated that 6.8% of Americans abuse or are dependent on alcohol (down from 7.7% in 2002), and 22% of Americans smoke cigarettes (down from 26 percent in 2002). The case of Sean Sean is a 19 year old sophomore who is currently on disciplinary probation for getting in a fight during freshman year and breaking the other students jaw. Sean admits to drinking and also smoking marijuana since high school and occasionally...

... They display delays in their learning and often require a different approach to their learning. These students have been identified as having emotional and behavioral disorders. They require intensive interventions to help manage and remediate their behavior. These students have the most challenging behaviors, they are often emotionally unstable, and oppositional in most situations where change is involved. Students with EBD are served in a variety of settings including the regular classroom. They encounter academic challenges and can pose as a potential threat to the teachers and their peers. It is important for educators to know and understand the rights of the students with EBD in their classrooms. They also need to research and implement effective strategies to use with the students. To best meet all the needs of the student, schools should create a special education team consisting of a special education teacher, regular education teacher, administrator, and parent. Each person is connected to the student in a different way and can provide insight on intervention and prevention. This paper will discuss and summarize the definitions and challenges of EBD, comparing and contrasting the experiences of a special education team versus research. The special education team consisted of a special education teacher, Sherri Wakefield....

...Lincoln Hospital Case Study Introduction This case describes a crisis situation that unfolds at the Lincoln Hospital, a 400-bed for-profit facility. At the root of the crisis is a dysfunctional relationship between the newly elected chief of surgery, Don, and the Operating Room (OR) director of 13-years, Mary. As a result of their discord, multiple exacerbated issues are occurring throughout the hospital. These issues are impacting the ability of the hospital to successfully perform the planned surgeries without incurring significant issues. The hospital has lost forty percent of the experienced OR nursing staff during the previous eight months, lessor experienced OR nurses are inefficiently replacing the more experienced nurses, physicians are threatening to conduct their surgeries in different hospitals, physicians are arriving late for scheduled surgeries, the staff is divided, and the necessary equipment is either not available or not the correct size resulting in delays and impacts to performing the surgeries. The president of the hospital is facing a daunting dilemma in trying to figure out how to bring this discord to closure and remedy the perturbating effects of this hostile relationship. He believes the discord is responsible for the other systematic issues seen throughout the hospital. He considers firing Mary but quickly realizes she is an invaluable asset that he cannot afford to let go. At the same time, he realizes he needs to be accommodating...

...The Crisis of Childhood Sexual Abuse Daniel Green Liberty University August 4, 2012 Abstract Child sexual abuse (CSA) represents a growing crisis that affects children, families, and communities worldwide. Though CSA does not severely damage everyone who has had this experience, a very significant number of individuals experience short and long-term developmental difficulties resulting from the initial abuse. Psychological issues such as depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and other related anxiety issues are common problems associated with CSA. This paper will discus some of the causes, effects, interventions and treatments of CSA, along with a biblical, Christ-centered perspective that may aid in providing hope for those living through the crisis of CSA. The Crisis of Childhood Sexual Abuse Without a doubt, child sexual abuse (CSA) represents a growing crisis that affects children, families, and communities worldwide. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2010), as many as one in four children are sexually abused. In the United States alone, 80,000 cases of CSA are reported each year (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2008). However, despite national efforts, many cases go unreported because prevalence rates are only accurate to the extent that victims of CSA are willing to disclose. Based on retrospective studies of adult survivors of CSA, it has been estimated that only 1 in 20 cases of sexual abuse is...

In fact this success is due to it several historical merges, especially with the bank of Italy, founded by Amadeo Giannini in San Francisco in 1904. The founder and president of Bank of America agreed to the merging on 1929. It operated under the name Bank of America, and in 1958 the bank harnessed the technology that lets credit cars to be linked directly to bank accounts by introducing bankamericard, and this was the progenitor of VISA. Bank of America first expanded to the borders of California with its acquisition of Seattle-based Seafirst Corporation in 1983. From this, the company expanded in Idaho, Arizona, Washington and Oregon, and it was the largest in history. In 1998, the company was purchased by NationsBank, which moved the headquarters to charlotte North Carolina. The bank suffered serious losses when the director was not able to pay back the large hedge fund it loaned.

...law enforcement critical incidents deal with actual hostage taking, and most crises are successfully resolved without loss of life. In fact, containment and negotiation strategies yield a 95 percent success rate in terms of resolving a hostage crisis without fatalities to either hostages or hostage-takers There are three especially dangerous periods during a hostage crisis. The first is the initial 15-45 minutes when confusion and panic are likely to be greatest. The second is during the surrender of the Hostage / Takers, when strong emotions, ambivalence, and lack of coordination among “HT’s” and crisis team members can cause an otherwise successful resolution to go bad. Finally, tactical assault to rescue the hostages carries the highest casualty rate, probably for two interrelated reasons. First, the very fact that tactical intervention is necessary indicates that all reasonable attempts to resolve the crisis by negotiation have failed, and that violence against the hostages has already taken place, or is imminent. Second, if a firefight ensues, the resulting panic and confusion may result in hostages being inadvertently killed or injured. The term used to describe these teams has broadened from hostage negotiation, to crisis...
