Working with Juveniles
This week we have been focusing on how we as forensic psychology professionals might work with juveniles. Include the following in your discussion post:
Search the library for an academic journal article that focuses on our work with juveniles.
This may be in juvenile courts or detention centers, juvenile corrections, or within the foster care system.
This may be in the realm of working with families concerning custody decisions.
For tips and guidance on library research, visit the PSYC2330: Introduction to Forensic Psychology library guide.
Summarize your article for the class.

general motors and the ignition switch recalls semester project
Page 461 of the book
In November 2004, Candice Anderson was driving her boyfriend, Gene Erickson, to pick up his car when her Saturn Ion swerved off the road ata slight curve and hit a tree, killing her passenger. The couple was not wearing seat belts, and the air bags did not deploy. The Texas State Police found traces of an antianxiety medication in Anderson’s system, and she was fined and charged with criminally negligent homicide. Over the next 10 years, Anderson constantly relived the nightmare and wondered how she lost control on such an easy curve.
On a cloudy Wisconsin night in October 2006, Megan Ungar-Kerns was driving with her friends Amy Rdemaker and Natasha Weigel in a 2005 Chevy Cobalt. The vehicle suddenly lost power and veered off the road into a utility pole and several trees. The air bags failed to operate, the driver was seriously injured, and both passengers died on the spot. The state police report noted that at the time of the crash, the key was in “accessory” mode.
Brooke Melton was driving in Georgia on a rainy March evening in 2010. It was her 29th birthday. Her 2005 Chevy Cobalt suddenly stalled, slid into an oncoming vehicle, rolled, and dropped 15 feet into a creek. Melton was wearing her seatbelt, but the air bags did not operate and she died on the way to the hospital. Police recorded driving too fast for conditions as the cause of the accident; she was going 58mph in a 55mph zone.
These tragic incidents had little in common except for three commonalities: in all of these cases (and, as it turned out, dozens more like them), the driver had for some reason lost control of the car, the built-in air bag protection systems had failed to deploy and the vehicles were made by General Motors (GM).
In February 2014, nearly a decade after Gene Erickson died, GM began a series of recalls that eventaully afected 2.6 million vehicles whose model years ranged from 2003 to 2011. The reason for the recalls was a faulty ignition switch that easily shifted the key from “run” into the “off” or “accessory” positions. When the key was not in “run”, the cars lost power, including to the steering, braking and protective air bag systems. This reduced the driver’s control and increased the risk of injury in the event of an accident. In addition to facing individual and class action lawsuits,the company was under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the U.S. Congress, and the page 462 Justie Department. By May 2014, 47 accidents and more than a dozen fatalities had been linked to the ignition switch defect. But many questiosnregarding the decade-long delay in repairing the defective part remained unanswered.
Discuss how another philosopher might disagree. For example, if you discuss deontology in support of your view, utilitarianism might be a good point of contrast. Virtue and care ethics are very similar, but it would be interesting to explore their differences as well.
Imagine you could go back in time and give your childhood self a letter in which you explain your current view of the good and ethical life. Write a 3-4 page letter to your childhood self explaining your view of the Good in which you:
Identify at least one philosopher who might agree with your view of the Good. Explain that philosophical ethical theory and discuss how it compares to your own views.
Discuss how another philosopher might disagree. For example, if you discuss deontology in support of your view, utilitarianism might be a good point of contrast. Virtue and care ethics are very similar, but it would be interesting to explore their differences as well.
Support your account of the theories with citations to the textbook and online lectures in correct APA format.

Success With Data Interpretation and Statistics
How good is the story from the data? How good are the analytical and statistical models to the organization? Does the work by the data analyst justify the amount of resources the organization pays for their services and product? Do the results of the data analytics program add value to the organization? To achieve the ever-changing answers to these questions, a data analytics program must maintain a continuous analysis process and evaluation of existing models, and keep score on the decisions taken pre- and post- action.
For the Unit 5 assignment, you will research and write a short (34 pages for the body section) paper. Use APA (6th edition) style and format, with a minimum of five references, and cover the following topics:
Describe a specific example of transforming data into knowledge.
Explain how to measure the accuracy and completeness of source data for a data analytics project.

Management Practices for the 21st Century – Case Study Two Part
Knowledge management (KM) is creating, sharing, using, and managing an organization’s knowledge and information. KM is an enabler of organizational learning (Girard & Girard, 2015).
The week 6 Assignment has two parts. Part I is dedicated to analyze and synthesize knowledge management practices from a Harvard Case Study assigned by the instructor. By answering the case study’s questions, you will be able to understand how KM is implemented (see below case studies and the one assigned to you). Part II is dedicated to diagnose KM in your current organization and suggest how to implement it in your organizational/managerial context or what to do to improve the system is it is already implemented.

HCS: “We gave them a tool, but hardly anyone’s using it! Untangling the knowledge management Dilemma at TPA.” Author: Alina Dulipovici, Ann-Frances Cameron (https://hbr.org/search?search_type=search-all&term=We+gave+them+a+tool%2C+but+hardly+anyone%27s+using+it%21Untangling+the+knowledge+management+Dilemma+at+TPA)
Main topics:
1. What is the case about? Your answer should include a description of the three phases of TPA’s knowledge Management strategy and of the key actors and their roles.
2. What are the main points of the last meeting of the SharePoint Project committee? Present your answer in a table that clearly illustrates the viewpoints of four actors.
In order to allow for a more informed group discussion, you are also asked to individually reflect on the questions associated with each of the four activities described below.
1. What are the general characteristics of:
a. The organizational environment at TPA,
b. The SharePoint Project system as a kind of knowledge management system,
c. The adoption process of SharePoint Project?
2. How can we position TPA’s efforts of knowledge management to support its strategic objectives? Expanding on the results from the second activity, what elements are misaligned? Why?
3. Drawing on existing methods, suggest an analysis and re-engineering approach which is tailored to this case. Explain where and how your approach deviates from the existing approaches.
4. How can we capture TPA’s tacit knowledge?
5. What should have been done differently to improve the chances of success of the implementation of SharePoint Project?
Part II:
After analyzing the case study and reading the documents attached for this exercise/topic understanding, use the Knowledge Management Capability Assessment to evaluate your current company. Provide a detailed report based on the assessment of each section. Identify weak and strong areas, then come up with a plan for implementation.
Expected Outcome:
After answering the case study questions, prepare and submit a videotaped oral PowerPoint presentation through this link as an attached file, describing the answers along with your suggestions for improvement based on your case understanding. Just the answers from the case study will not be accepted. The answers must be accompanied with your suggestions. The presentation must be based on “consultant-type” feedback through which you will provide “actions for improvements” to that company. The presentation must show the content of the topic (slides), your voice and face. Please, when delivering your presentation, do not read from the power point, just say it in your own words. This is a requirement.
Submit the written report based on the KM Capability Assessment in a word document through this link.
