1. If a psychopath suffers from brain impairments that predispose them to commit impulsive violence, should we hold them fully accountable for their behavior? For example, should psychopathy be considered a mitigating factor when sentencing an offender? Should people scoring high on the PLC-R be found not guilty by reason of insanity? please create a discussion response to this question, simple easy and straight forward

One way to give meaning to our experiences is to reflect on them. The purpose of the 3-2-1 reflection is to give you the opportunity to reflect on what you learned and what you want to learn more about. Remember, these reflections are each worth 5% of your final grade, so I recommend you spend some time reflecting about the content and making sure your answers are detailed and clear. You will submit a 3-2-1 reflection by answering the following questions: 3 things you learned from the module that are meaningful to you. Why are they meaningful? For some examples: Is it something you agree with? Disagree with? Why? Is it something that you connect with real world sources? Which real world sources? Is it something that helps you with your current career? Explain your connections. For reference to the amount of detail, there should be about 1/4-1/2 page for each meaningful thing. 2 things you want to know more about (be specific). These should be directly related to the module and should not be general. As an unrelated example, it is ok to say I want to learn more about research in the justice system but you must elaborate on that what type of research? What is the research question? What area of the justice system? For reference to the amount of detail, there should be about 1/2 page for this entire section . 1 question you have about your topic. This question should again, be specific to your topic and relate to the course objectives. Your topic question can be stated as one or two lines. NOTES BELOW FOR PAPER _ PLEASE USE In this module, we will introduce you to two topics: mentally disordered and psychopathic offenders. For both groups of offenders, we will discuss the following: The various categories and definitions related to these groups of offenders The risk factors and theories that help explain their offending behavior Assessment, treatment, and management of these individuals The DSM-V defines a mental disorder as a syndrome characterized by clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion, regulation or behavior that reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or developmental processes underlying mental functioning. Mental disorders are usually associated with significant distress in social, occupational, or other important activities…. Factors related to Mentally Disordered Offenders Symptoms of MD that increase risk of violence Substance Use Disorders MDOs may use substances to self medicate diminished self-control and increased financial need Antisocial Personality Disorder Criminal attitudes and criminal thinking Symptoms of MD that increase risk of violence Minor violence: substance abuse and acute psychotic symptoms (co-morbid) Acute psychotic symptoms, depressive symptoms, childhood conduct problems Threat/Control override delusions and hallucinations increase risk Risk factors for MDOs Meta analysis = MDOs are similar to non MDOs for risk factors BUT: higher rate of MI in prison populations…why? No causal link found between MD and violence (could be other factors associated with MD poverty, unemployment, homelessness) How does the DSM define psychopathy? First things first,psychopathy is not a clinical diagnosis. In the very first edition of the DSM, we used the term sociopath. Sociopaths were characterized as an antisocial person who lacked rational decision-making, was callous and immature, and often rationalized antisocial behavior. Although we still hear the term sociopath in the media today, the second edition of the DSM removed the term. Sociopath was replaced with antisocial personality. In the third edition, antisocial personality was replaced with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). With this change, the emphasis on assessment and diagnosis changed from personality to behavior because it is easier to assess someones behavior than it is to assess someones personality. In fact, if we were only assessing someones personality, we would have to rely on self-report measures a lot of the time because those who are psychopathic are very good at masking their characteristics so we would not get a very reliable assessment that way. As an example of this ability to mask characteristics, watch the following video of an interview with Kenneth Bianchi, one of the Hillside Stranglers who murdered and raped women with his cousin. Option 1: Vince Li – The Greyhound Bus Killer In 2008, Vince Li stabbed, beheaded, and cannibalized Tim McLean on a Greyhound Canada bus near Manitoba, Canada. Vince Li was found not criminally responsible on account of a mental disorder (NCRMD) which is the Canadian equivalent to NGRI. Bus 1170 : Vince Li and the Greyhound Bus Murder (2011) – the fifth estate (opens in a new tab) For a real-world glimpse into the publics perceptions of the insanity defense, read the comments on the video. For an empirical investigation of perceptions of the insanity defense, read this article.

Discuss the important differences between short-term and long-term memory. What are some steps/exercises to retaining information that we learn from short-term memory to long-term memory? Grading Follow APA style writing format. Examples of In-text citations and Reference A minimum of one complete paragraph explaining your understanding of the chapter of your choice. You may include examples, experiences, and theories. Note: a paragraph is a writing structure that requires a minimum of five complete sentences. These five or more sentences should represent a valid knowledge of the topic. The Discussion also requires a Comment or Reply to a classmate’s Discussion. This Comment or Reply requires a minimum of three complete sentences. It is not only about the number of sentences, but the valid knowledge of the topic represented throughout the paragraph (Discussion) and/or the three sentences (Comment or Reply).

Note: Sentences just expressing your opinion and/or perception of your classmate’s Discussion, and/or complimenting your classmate do not count for points, i.e., “I love what you wrote about…”; “You did a great job…”; “I agree with you”… Not complying with all the above requirements will decrease the score for the Discussion. Discussion is worth a total of 100 points.

In the film Still Alice by Lisa Genova, we see Alice plans for the future while she still possesses the ability to plan, but she doesnt plan well enough. She sees AD as a memory-robber that interferes with language abilities and memory (which is mostly true). She sets up memory tests on her phone to show when her illness has run its course and when it is time to take her own life. Early on, she plants pills in a safe place with the intent to overdose. However, she does not foresee being interrupted during her attempt to carry out her plan, as she attempts to open the bottle the pills spill out and roll onto the floor as her caregiver enters the home. She is still alive (and still Alice) before the film ends. Eerily, the words Alice and alive are easy to interchange when typing, because c is next to v on her phone, making me curious if this could actually happen making her change her mind.

(a) In saying all of that, do you think the plan Alice constructed was a viable one? Think about quality of life; both Alice and her family. Is this decision in character for Alice? Do you think her family would have understood or approved?

(b) Do you think the film rendered enough of how the family felt about the disease, about Alice, and their plans to take care of her?

2. The crisis is presented in the title.

(a) Is she still Alice?

(b) Despite all the agony, the fear and the indignity of Alzheimers, is there some unbreachable core of identity that will remain? Or is Alices sense of self utterly eroded, reduced to merely a set of symptoms?

3. Do you find irony in the fact that Alice, a professor and researcher at Columbia, suffers from a disease that causes her brain to atrophy?

(b) Why do you think the film maker chose this profession?

(c) How does her past academic success affect Alice’s ability, and her family’s, to cope with Alzheimer’s Disease?

4. When Alice’s three children, Anna, Tom and Lydia, find out they can be tested for the genetic mutation that causes Alzheimer’s, only Lydia decides she doesn’t want to know.

(a) Why does she decline?

(b) Would you want to know if you had the gene?

5. Alice asks John to take a sabbatical year together.

(a) Why does John decide to keep working?

(b) Is it fair for him to seek the job in a new state considering Alice probably won’t know her whereabouts by the time they move?

(c) Is he correct when he tells the children she would not want him to sacrifice his work?

6. The film is primarily told from Alice’s point of view. As Alice’s disease worsens, her perceptions indeed get less reliable.

(a) Why would the film maker choose to stay in Alice’s perspective?

(b) What do we gain, and what do we lose?
