Assignment Details
The prosecutor is getting feedback from local law enforcement officers explaining that they are discouraged from making arrests in cases of domestic violence and child abuse. They claim that they have been neither making arrests in domestic violence situations nor arresting both parties when they go out on a call. It seems that abused women often go back to the abusers, and children who get removed from the homes where they have been abused often return after removal. These occurrences have been especially demoralizing to law enforcement.
One of your jobs in working as a Victims’ Witness Assistant is to help educate law enforcement on the nature and behaviors involved in domestic violence and child abuse. The prosecutor’s office has decided that you should present each of the following topics for the next training session:
Topic 1 Domestic Violence: Your goal is to educate law enforcement to use best practices in the investigation of domestic abuse cases. Include the following topics in your PowerPoint presentation of 5-10 slides with notes:
How to approach a domestic violence situation when responding to an emergency call
When the parties should be separated
How to interview parties
What information needs to be in the report and why
How to best help a victim
What laws protect victims, including the use of protection orders
Why victims return to abusers
Length of time it may take to stay away from their abusers
Arrests
The legal standard that is needed to make an arrest in a domestic violence case
What evidence should be collected at the arrest
Whether dual arrests are effective law enforcement
How to assist domestic violence victims
Reluctant victims
Help for victims
Topic 2 Child Abuse: Your goal will be to educate law enforcement about the dynamics of abuse and neglect cases. Include the following topics:
Signs of child abuse and categories (e.g., physical, sexual, and emotional)
Difference between the terms abuse and neglect
Legal description of neglect
Use of guardian ad litem
The legal standards that must be met in a child’s removal from the home
Termination of parental rights
Requirements of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)
Role of court-appointed special advocates (CASA) in child abuse and neglect cases
Role of Social Services in abuse and neglect cases
Use the library, Internet, and other resources available to you to conduct your research. Provide APA citations and references.

ESSAY #1, THE PERFORMANCE ESSAY
“Don’t part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.”
— Mark Twain
“Magic is the only honest profession. A magician promises to deceive you and he does.”
— Karl Germain
OBJECTIVE:
The goal of this assignment is to go out and astonish a virtual audience (remember, social-distancing!) with one (or more) illusion(s) and then consider 1) what does it mean to “fool” someone, 2) did you “fool” them, 3) exactly how and why did you fool them, 4) what did you do (not just the illusion but your body language, your psychology, etc) to “fool” them, 5) what did it feel like to perform, successfully or not, 6) how did you choose your audience, 7) how is it different to be the magician than to be the viewer of the illusion, and 8) why are we attracted to magic and what does that say about us as humans, as people, as coherent and ethereal beings? The goal isn’t, necessarily, to answer ALL of these questions but rather to pick a few, find a thesis (an angle, a topic, an idea) and then set about trying to understand something about performance, illusion, magic, and your part (and your audience’s part) in that hoax/reality.
ASSIGNMENT:
For this essay, you will go out into the virtual public (where and how, specifically, is up to you, but perhaps with friends via Zoom or some other platform) and/or with your family/friends at home and perform at least one trick for that group. You will pay attention to them. You will memorize the scene (try your best to remember ALL of the sensory details). You will perform, and you will pay close attention to their reactions. You should strive to do this a MINIMUM of five times over the coming week or two.
Once you’ve gathered this data—and you should be gathering the specifics about each “outing” via written notes to yourself after each performance—you will start to compile it per the objectives above in hopes of finding a through-thread, a thesis, an idea that will bloom into a fully-fledged essay topic.
Don’t be afraid to pull in the videos we’ve seen, the readings you’ve done, the ideas, structures, plots, and gimmicks/sleights that you’ve witnessed. How is what you’re doing the same? How is it different? Think of the Famous Six: Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How. Your job is to make us care about your experience, to make us feel like we were the ones witnessing your performance, to make us feel like we were the ones saying, “Pick a card, any card!”
You don’t need to use outside sources for this essay; however, if you’d like to, you are more than welcome to do so! Please be curious, be adventurous, and go forth and discover.
AUDIENCE:
Your audience is an everyday reader, someone who sits next to you on the bus, buys groceries in the line next to you, cashes your paychecks at the bank. It’s me.
NUTS AND BOLTS
Your paper should be formatted in MLA format, which for this essay basically amounts to you making sure your paper looks as it should on the page and incorporating in-text citations and a Works Cited page.

Relevant topics are those that represent challenges or opportunities for scholar-practitioners in your field, or areas in which research could help improve service delivery to clients or provide greater understanding of key concepts to scholar-practitioners.
Your exploration of the literature may lead you to identify a wide range of themes and topics in your field, and you should mention the primary themes and topics briefly. Then, for purposes of this assignment, narrow your focus to one broad theme or topic of interest to you, and tailor your paper around answering the questions below based on this narrowed focus.
For example,
If you are intrigued with the topic of adolescent learning (research topic), you might be interested in the influence of media on an adolescent’s development of critical-thinking skills (research focus).
If you are interested in recidivism among juvenile offenders (research topic), you might be interested in focusing on the influence of educational achievement on recidivism rates (research focus).
If you are interested in the relationship between sports participation and future leadership success (research topic), you might want to focus on the concept of team leadership in collegiate basketball (research focus).
In your paper,
Identify contemporary themes and topics you found in both the academic and professional literature as you prepared your Discussion Forum post earlier in the week and as you searched the scholarly literature for this assignment.
Speculate about why these themes and topics engage the practitioner community.
Based on your research and your own personal experience in your field of study,
Identify some of the contemporary challenges that confront practitioners in your field.
Examine the kind of information that would improve service to clients or advance the understanding of practitioners in your field.
Assess what you, as a scholar-practitioner, would like to know about your field of study.
Justify a topic of interest and a specific research focus (a general area of interest, not a specific question) you would like to pursue for purposes of work in this class (and, potentially, as a topic for your doctoral research project).

Re: Topic 7 DQ 1
Waiting in life is part of everyday life. We often wait in line at the supermarket, at the bank teller, we wait in line at the movies, we spend a lot of time waiting. Models have been developed to help managers understand and make better decisions concerning the operation of waiting lines (Anderson et al., 2016). The Waiting Line model consists of mathematical formulas and relationships that can be used to determine the operating characteristics for a waiting line (Anderson et al., 2016). This information help managers to decide whether if the service is optimal or needs to improve their systems. In order to obtain an economic analysis, we need to consider two costs, waiting cost and service cost. The waiting cost may be inexpensive, at least in the short run, but may incur high costs of client dissatisfaction, making client take their business elsewhere. Service cost relates to any cost associated with establishing each server operation (Anderson et al., 2016). One of the biggest waiting lines I have to deal with is when I cross from Mexico to the USA. The waiting crossing time is very high most of the time. For example, two years ago, I had to wait in line for 6 hours to cross the border, but some friends told me that they had waited between 12 and 15 hours to cross. They use a multi-server system, where each server has a dedicated queue, and each person chooses which line to join. This occasionally causes many troubles, because some lines are faster than others, and people that have hours in one line try to move to the fastest one, and there had been accidents because of this reason. I think the main reason the waiting lines are so long is that there is no other way to cross in the first place; hence, there is no waiting cost for them, even when revisions are necessary, and they count on technology to help them with revisions crossing procedures, sometimes it is just too much.

Plagiarism
Study what your text has to say about plagiarism in the section: Misuse of the Internet: Pornography and Plagiarism on page 351 and Internet Plagiarism Among College Students 355-359. Discuss the following questions from page 357 of your text:
1. What are the main approaches to student plagiarism on many college campuses?
2. According to Blum, why do traditional methods of trying to prevent plagiarism often fail?
3. How have our notions of originality in college writing changed since the 1960’s and 1970’s and why?
4. What solution(s) does Blum offers for dealing with student plagiarism?

*Remember, when responding to others do not judge. Simply state your position, backed by the evidence you have found. It can be difficult not to judge those with whom you disagree but begin practicing within our class. **Learn to disagree in a respectful way. A wise person once told me that the mark of a truly intelligent person is one who can consider and respect the opinions of others without necessarily changing his or her view.

9A – For all our conversation about Realism and Naturalism, how can we understand the fancifulness and near romanticism of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Shows? Can we reconcile a growing readership’s/viewership’s appreciation of “reality” and attention to social inequities with the extreme social stereotypes used in the production of the “entertainment” of these shows? They were very popular in both the U.S. and on tours in Europe. Reflect on what the popularity of these shows might reveal to us about the paradoxes or tensions with U.S. culture circa 1900 in at least 200 – 250 words.
