...play a pivotal role in the decisions students with disabilities make regarding transition services. Review of research indicates that there has not been much research conducted regarding student perceptions of the influence family members have on decision made regarding transition services. So this would lead to the question how much do family members influence the decisions of students when they are determining transition services. Understanding the role that families play in the decision making of these students will be extremely important in the vocational rehabilitation process. Having this information will enable rehabilitation professionals to determine the most productive way to interact with the student. This information will also provide the...

...Juvenile Rehabilitation Shelly Stanko CJS/240 February 26, 2012 Farrell Binder Juvenile Rehabilitation In the previous few decades, the United States justice policy has become more punitive. In particular, in the 1990s legislatures all over the county passed laws under which an increasing number of young people can be charged in criminal courts and incarcerated in adult prisons. Certainly, in nearly every state today, youths between 13 and 14 can be prosecuted and penalized as adults for an array of crimes including non-violent offenses (Kristin, 2009). Punishments have become more severe even in the juvenile system. Generally, it is believed that the rising anxiety among citizens concerning the threat of juvenile crime has propelled this tendency and that members of the public favor this legislative tendency toward severe punishment. However, it is unclear whether this opinion about the right solutions to youth crime is precise. On the other hand, different surveys have found the public favors tougher policies regarding youth crime and punishing juveniles as severely as adults. However, a thorough review of sources of information about public views indicates that the perception that the public favors punishment for youths is largely based on either opinion surveys that pose few simplistic questions or publicized crimes like school shootings. It is possible that analysis of public views...

...This practice based learning is a case study that involves discrimination towards a patient who is part of the traveling community. This practice based learning is a case study that involves discrimination towards a patient who is part of the traveling population within our society. My group colleagues and I decided to use the same methods of collecting information as in the previous case studies. I feel very frustrated because there is a lot of ignorance within our society, lack of information and understanding of people who disregard others because of were they come from. Firstly I make reference to the NMC’s guidance on anti-discrimination practice; As a qualified nurse I am personally accountable for my practice, and when caring for my patients I must; 1.1 Respect the patient as an individual 1.2 Protect and support the health needs of individuals 1.4 I have a duty of care to patients, who are entitled to receive safe and competent care. 2.3 As a registered nurse I am personally accountable for ensuring that I promote and protect the interests and dignity of patients and clients, irrespective of gender, age, race, ability, sexuality, economic status, lifestyle, culture and religious or political beliefs. 2.4 I must promote the interest of patients. This includes helping individuals and groups gain access to health and social care, information and support relevant to their needs. The NHS is accountable for all acts and omissions that relate to equality and human...

...their capabilities. There are over 3000 technologies that have been designed to enable these people live productive and fulfilling lives independently. However, when using these technologies, there are several ethical and safety considerations that require to be met. The assistive technologies have been beneficial both to the health and social care organizations and the users. This paper considers two case studies to explore the use of technology in facilitating independent living. How Technology Supports Living Independently The technologies that are used to support independent living can be broadly grouped into three. They include assistive, adaptive and communication technologies. Assistive technology Assistive technology refers to equipment or product that is used to improve the capabilities of users of health and social care services to promote or ensure independent living (Department of Health, 2001). They therefore make it possible for the users to carry out tasks that they were previously unable to accomplish by changing the way the tasks are performed. In the first case study, Sally complains of double vision and the specialist recommends an eye patch. This eye patch that is given to Sally to help her avoid further eye complications is an example of assistive technology that supports independent living. Sally is also given a hand held personal digital assistance called the pocket coach. This is also an assistive technology used fro independent living. Another example is...

...individualized plan for rehabilitation, (sometimes this may include punishment). This plan is specialized for the specific needs of the juvenile and with success the results will produce a law abiding and high functioning juvenile, in which will help guarantee these positive behaviors through adulthood. Case study Seventeen year old Xander L. is a black male with a history of gang affiliation amongst several criminal behaviors beginning at the age of 13 (i.e., stealing a purse, breaking and entering, and possessing drugs.) As a result of his criminal activities Xander has been on probation twice and has spent a year in a juvenile correctional facility. His most current violation (in which he pleaded guilty) of the law was possession of a concealed weapon. Xander lives with his mother in a high crime neighborhood and he does not have a relationship with his father. His mother is a working adult who does not enable Xander’s behaviors, for she has called the police on him in the past. However, Xander and his mother are close as a result he would like to receive his general equivalency diploma (GED) to make his mother happy. After Arrest As a result of Xander’s possession of a concealed weapon, a law enforcement professional arrests the juvenile. Considering Xander’s extensive history with the juvenile system, along with carrying a deadly weapon, and the victim’s input, the officer decides to detain and charge the juvenile (A typical juvenile delinquency case, n.d.), meanwhile...

...an extremely deleterious effect on the healthy development of young people, especially. Due to the rapid increase in drug related crime and drug abusers in Asian countries, the establishment of effective countermeasures for demand and supply reduction are a pressing issue. In light of the above-mentioned situation, the United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI); and the Research Division of the Research and Training Institute, Ministry of Justice jointly conducted a comprehensive study on drug abuser treatment, from 2002 to 2004, entitled “Research on the Trends in Drug Abuse and Effective Measures for the Treatment of the Drug Abusers in Asian Countries - An Analysis of Innovative Measures for the Treatment of Drug Abusers”. The Asian countries included in the study are: China (Hong Kong), Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. This is the first phase of the study on drug abuser treatment; the second phase, which begun last year, will cover Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA. UNAFEI is a United Nations regional institute, established in 1961 by agreement between the United Nations and the Government of Japan, with the aim of promoting the sound development of criminal justice systems and mutual cooperation in the world. The three main activities of UNAFEI are to hold training courses...

...One solution that I believe can ultimately help replace juvenile life without parole is sentencing juveniles to incarceration in a juvenile facility until they are of legal age, which is eighteen years old, and then place them in an adult correction facility while receiving rehabilitation for twenty years or less and then released on parole. This idea still maintains fair punishment for juveniles, while still giving them a chance to be released. This idea balances out punishment and rehabilitation perfectly and it is not focused on just punishment. It also allows for the juvenile to receive rehabilitation for enough time to be considered safe to reintegrate back into the community. This solution will give the juvenile a chance to comprehend his or her mistakes and learn from them. They will receive mandatory rehabilitation for a lengthy time in...

...Mental health affects people of all shapes, sexes, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds. This also includes prisoners held in state correctional facilities across the United States of America. In 2012, there were an estimated 356,268 inmates with severe mental illnesses in U.S. prison and jails compared to the 35,000 mentally ill individuals who were in state psychiatric hospitals. (Cited) “CASE STUDY”: In 1999, a thirty-five year old man from Ohio was sentence to prison. He served six years for his crime and then later served an additional four years for “failure to register”. While in prison, his children were no longer speaking to him, friends deserted him, and he lost his mother and father. This “rehabilitated” convicted felon is now forty-nine years old, homeless, jobless, and has no marketable work skills. He has contemplated suicide on multiple occasions and has often thought about returning back to prison; purposely....

...government, and explain how to justify to the tax-paying public an increase in expenditures on prison treatment and rehabilitation programs. To respond to this assignment, the student undertook desk research, wrote and submitted this paper. Keywords: prison treatment, rehabilitation programs, cost, expense, investment Introduction: The context for extra spending Many sections of the United States government over the past several years have experienced severe budget cuts due the Great Recession. Some education departments have experienced double digit percentage cuts, leading to layoffs among both faculty and administrative personnel. Hospitals, public transportation, and many other government departments have experienced layoffs, working hour reductions, cuts in pay, and cuts in resourcing. With these cost-reduction measures imposed in many government departments, it would be difficult to persuade the tax-paying public that anything currently deserves an increase in spending. If most parts of society must cut back on budgets and services, why should the public tolerate extra spending to help those who have actively broken the law? Many would argue that preference should be given to extra spending for law-abiding citizens. This paper explores how to justify to the tax-paying public an increase in expenditure on prison treatment and rehabilitation programs, and finds that the most effective method is to demonstrate to the public that increased spending on such programs...

...Running head: REHABILITATION CARE IN A SPECIALIZED SETTING Rehabilitation Care in a Specialized Setting: A Multidisciplinary Concept Analysis Dorota M. Loney University of Texas at Arlington school of Nursing In partial fulfillment of the requirements of N5327 Analysis of Theories in Nursing Rhonda Mintz-Binder, RN, MN, DNP April 29, 2012 Rehabilitation Care in a Specialized Setting: A Multidisciplinary Concept Analysis First we need to understand what Rehabilitation is to be able to focus on its concept analysis. It is a part of the continuum of care as it focuses on increasing a patient’s function for self care and mobility. The need for a rehabilitation care concept in a specialized rehabilitation hospital increases as the length of stay decreases in acute hospitals after surgery or procedures due to the financial burden on insurances, Medicare, Medicaid, and the acute hospitals themselves. No longer do we see in the United States two week long acute hospital stays after major surgeries, strokes or other injuries that affect the activities of daily living (ADL). The hospitals discharge patients back home much sooner than before or transfer them to facilities for further recovery. Unfortunately some of these facilities are long term acute care hospitals or nursing homes where continuing daily therapy is very limited. The fortunate ones get admitted to a specialty hospital called a rehabilitation (rehab) hospital that this paper will focus on. Here, nurses, occupational...

...Juvenile Justice and Rehabilitation When discussing rehabilitation or punishment for juvenile delinquents, I believe there should be rehabilitation over punishment. Granted there are numerous cases that completely warrant punishment, but punishment isn’t always the answer. Adults are usually given second, third and fourth chances to change their lives. And sometimes rehabilitation isn’t involved. I believe since adolescents still have plenty of time to get counseling or learn about themselves and why they acted the way they did, there is always an opportunity for them to change. Adolescents don’t have the same thought process as adults. They tend to react emotionally, so if their emotions are flying high, adolescents aren’t always able to stop themselves from doing something foolish or harmful to others. This is also the point in their life when they are becoming curious about how their bodies are changing. Also add in drug or alcohol experimentation and that’s a recipe for trouble. There are numerous supporters for rehabilitation, just like there are individuals against it. As long as there is a juvenile justice system, there will always be a debate. One person that agrees with rehabilitation is Kurt Kumli, a supervising deputy district attorney for the Santa Clara County’s Juvenile Division in California. Mr. Kumli (2001) stated that there are different methods that work on different kids. But the one thing that is constant, is the need to get to the kids “sooner, than...
