To prepare: Identify the demographics of your local or nearby prison (e.g., racial, gender, etc.). and of your state in general. Consider how the local prison population and your state general population differ culturally (e.g., race, gender, socioeconomic, underserved, etc.). Based on what disparity you identify between the prison and general populations, select one cultural population (e.g., racial, gender, underserved, etc.) and conduct an academic literature search in the Walden Library that discusses the unique characteristics, considerations, and/or challenges related to working with that population and the role of culture addressed in the treatment of the specific forensic population you selected. For your Assignment, use the Masters and Doctoral Sources APA Course Paper Template (APA 7) accessed from the Writing Templates web resource in the Learning Resources. Address the following: Cite the research article and state the specific diversity population that you researched. Identify the demographics of your local or nearby prison (e.g., racial, gender, etc.). Identify the demographics of your state in general. Evaluate how the local prison population and your local general population differ in cultural breakdown (e.g., race, gender, socioeconomic, underserved, etc.). Choose a cultural disparity between these populations. (e.g., disparity in racial makeup of the general population versus the prison population in your region or state; or disparity in the gender makeup of the prison population versus the general population, etc.). Based on what disparity you identify above, select one cultural population (e.g., racial, gender, underserved, etc.) and conduct an academic literature search in the Walden Library and select at least one scholarly article from a peer-reviewed journal that discusses the unique characteristics, considerations, and/or challenges related to working with that population. Briefly summarize the research article and explain how the role of culture is addressed in the treatment of the specific forensic population you selected. Analyze the role of culture in the treatment of forensic populations, in general. Support your analysis with your selected article and additional scholarly literature.
