Early release measures have resulted in a backlash due to an outbreak of crime committed by prisoners released early

The Prisons in United States
In some states, early release measures have resulted in a backlash due to an outbreak of crime committed by prisoners released early. (For example, prisoners released due to COVID 19 concerns.)

– Do you agree with these states’ decision to release inmates early, including those convicted of violent crimes?

– What is the alternative?

– Provide at least one example of an incident involving an inmate released early.

Using key terms from the textbook chapter, answer the following question(s):

Key Terms
Penitentiary: The earliest form of large-scale incarceration. It punished criminals by isolating them so that they could reflect on their misdeeds, repent, and reform.

Pennsylvania system (also separate system): The first historical phase of prison discipline, involving solitary confinement in silence instead of corporal punishment; conceived by the American Quakers in 1790 and implemented at the Walnut Street Jail.
Auburn system: The second historical phase of prison discipline, implemented at New York’s Auburn prison in 1815. It followed the Pennsylvania system and allowed inmates to work silently together during the day, but they were isolated at night. Eventually sleeping cells became congregate and restrictions against talking were removed.

Federal Prison Industries (FPI): A federal, paid inmate work program and self-supporting corporation.
UNICOR: The trade name of Federal Prison Industries. UNICOR provides such products as U.S. military uniforms, electronic cable assemblies, and modular furniture.

Operational capacity: The number of inmates that a facility’s staff, existing programs, and services can accommodate.
Design capacity: The number of inmates that planners or architects intend for the facility.

Justice reinvestment: The practice of reducing spending on prisons and investing a portion of the savings into infrastructure and civic institutions located in high-risk neighborhoods.

Roadmap to reentry: Principles of correctional reform to reduce recidivism by supporting and strengthening reentry programs and resources at the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Maximum- or close/high-security prison: A prison designed, organized, and staffed to confine the most dangerous offenders for long periods. It has a highly secure perimeter, barred cells, and a high staff-to-inmate ratio. It imposes strict controls on the movement of inmates and visitors, and it offers few programs, amenities, or privileges.

Medium-security prison: A prison that confines offenders considered less dangerous than those in maximum security, for both short and long periods. It places fewer controls on inmates’ and visitors’ freedom of movement than does a maximum-security facility. It, too, has barred cells and a fortified perimeter. The staff-to-inmate ratio is generally lower than that in a maximum-security facility. Also, the level of amenities and privileges is slightly higher.

Minimum-security prison: A prison that confines the least dangerous offenders for both short and long periods. It allows as much freedom of movement and as many privileges and amenities as are consistent with the goals of the facility. It may have dormitory housing and the staff-to-inmate ratio is relatively low.

Open institution: A minimum-security facility that has no fences or walls surrounding it.

Supermax housing: A freestanding facility, or a distinct unit within a facility, that provides for management and secure control of inmates who have been officially designated as exhibiting violent or serious and disruptive behavior while incarcerated.
Special master: A person appointed by the court to act as its representative to oversee remedy of a violation and provide regular progress reports.

Contraband: Any item that represents a serious threat to the safety and security of the institution.
Biometrics: The automated identification or verification of human identity through measurable physiological and behavioral traits.

Cognition Communication and Language ROBERT M. SEYFARTH AND DOROTHY L. CHENEY

Write a response essay. Response essay is 1 to 2 pages and includes a brief summary of the article and answers the questions such as;

Firstly, what are the important points made in the article,

Secondly, why do you think they are important,

Thirdly, are there any points that you criticize,

if yes, what are your opinions about it,

Finally, elaborate on it, substantiate your opinions.

More detail;

Field studies in Africa over the past four decades by ethologists Dorothy Cheney and Robert Seyfarth have uncovered a trove of insights into the behavior, communication, and social cognition of nonhuman primates. The pair’s research further reveals evolutionary antecedents of the human mind. University of Pennsylvania professors emeriti, Cheney and Seyfarth are both elected members of the National Academy of Sciences. For her Inaugural Article cowritten with Seyfarth, Cheney strengthens the hypothesis that many primate vocalizations shape social interactions. Factors driving the early stages of language evolution may therefore be in association with primate social challenges.

Inspired by Darwin

As youths, Cheney and Seyfarth enjoyed travel and nature. Cheney’s father was in the US Foreign Service, so her family move to a different place every few years before returning to Washington, DC. “My parents’ rather laissez faire approach to child-rearing allowed my sister and me to travel alone around India in our teenage years,” says Cheney. “We were given complete independence, for which I’ve always been grateful.” Seyfarth’s father was a Chicago-based businessman. “He also loved the outdoors, and on fishing trips to Canada and the Caribbean, taught me how to enjoy the wilderness even when we didn’t catch fish,” Seyfarth says.

Cheney and Seyfarth were not initially drawn to science. Cheney preferred history at her preparatory school in Massachusetts, Abbot Academy, and Seyfarth at first struggled with science. He says, “I found science courses difficult and unappealing until, in my senior year at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, I took a course on Darwin. The theory of evolution brought everything into focus and made all that memorization seem worthwhile.” Cheney’s “Darwin moment” happened in the spring term of her Wellesley College senior year. She explains, “I took a history of science course on evolution and genetics that finally revealed to me the ‘big why,’ the narrative and coherence that I’d missed in my previous classes. Darwin’s theory of natural selection provided the framework for everything in biology. Suddenly, I wanted to retake all of my science classes.”

More details;

Shinto, also known as kami-no-michi, is a religion originating in Japan. Classified as an East Asian religion by scholars of religion, its practitioners often regard it as Japan’s indigenous religion and as a nature religion.
What are the main beliefs of Shinto?
There is no absolute right and wrong, and nobody is perfect. Shinto is an optimistic faith, as humans are thought to be fundamentally good, and evil is believed to be caused by evil spirits. Consequently, the purpose of most Shinto rituals is to keep away evil spirits by purification, prayers and offerings to the kami.

How many gods do Shinto believe in?

Kami are the divine spirits or gods recognized in Shinto, the native religion of Japan. There are eight million kami—a number that, in traditional Japanese culture, can be considered synonymous with infinity.

What is the purpose of leadership from different perspectives

This is a paper that is focusing on the What is the purpose of leadership from different perspectives. The paper also provides additional information to use in writing the assignment paper.

What is the purpose of leadership from different perspectives

Assignment 6 is the final written report of your Basic Qualitative Interpretive Study to answer the question:

What is the purpose of leadership from different perspectives? Use attached template to write this report.  In this assignment you will combine analysis of the narrative data that was collected during the first week of class and your own perspective. This is where ‘different perspectives’ will come from. In the final report use previously submitted pieces as building blocks with necessary revisions made. (i.e., the rationale, research question(s), your positionality, description of methods of data collection and analysis, reflexive memos). Think about how you may want to title your report and how your writing will accommodate the shared and the unique components of the ‘purpose of leadership’ that you uncovered among the participants this term. Remember that qualitative writing requires you to move flexibly between different meanings. Also, themes generated by your research and highlight commonality and dis-junctions in human experiences.

You will FIRST apply the coding scheme that you developed in Assignment #5 to finish the coding of  the narratives to answer a research sub-question: “How do doctoral students in RES7700 understand the purpose of leadership?” . The initial coding scheme will need to be expanded and modified to accommodate new information from additional data.

What is the purpose of leadership from different perspectives

You will be reading and ‘making sense’ out of these narratives through the lens of ‘what can these narratives tell you about the research question?’ Also, you MUST continue using Word or Excel to code the transcripts and add to the Code Book from Assignment 5 (use LaPelle or Taylor-Powell & Renner articles as a model). You can use highlighting, color-coding, annotation, comment function, tables, etc. If you do your coding by hand on paper with pencil, you will need to transfer this into a Word or Excel file. Steps:

Firstly, apply codes that you constructed in Assignment 5 to all the narratives that are provided
Secondly, revise your coding scheme and book, if new data do not fit existing categories/themes (must be included in Appendix)
Thirdly, what additional insights about ‘meaning and purpose of leadership in life’ did you gain from additional data? Do you need to tweak your coding scheme? Discuss your overall findings and your interpretations to answer your research question(s).

Second, think about the analysis you produced this term as a whole: What is the big picture? Is there one story that emerges out of these different pieces? Does one piece of data support another or does it challenge it? Do you see a shared understanding of the purpose and meaning of leadership, or do your participants appear to be in a disagreement with distinct voices? How does your voice contribute to this story? Remember that YOU (the researcher) is the ‘primary instrument’ in qualitative inquiry, so now is YOUR time to demonstrate how these seemingly disconnected data that you collected ‘makes sense’ to you. Write out the story of your findings using themes as your main points and supporting them with categories and verbatim quotes from the transcripts. Make your story compelling. Highlight agreement and also dis-junctions in the perspectives of the participants.

Use the attached template to write your report. The report MUST contain all required appendices. You can use Hwang & Vrongisinos (2010) article in Module 8 as a model for your write-up.

Use appropriate APA style. Length of the report should be 10-12 pages: 3,000 – 3,500 words (excluding Appendices and References)

What was Martinez’s Thesis in Reinventing America

This is a paper that is focusing on the What was Martinez’s Thesis in Reinventing America? The paper also provides additional information to use in writing the assignment paper.

What was Martinez’s Thesis in Reinventing America

We know so much more about our Founding Fathers today than 40 years ago. So much of the history was “whitewashed” in order to make our Founders look like great men. For example, after the Lincoln Memorial was built, Franklin Roosevelt wanted to have a memorial to the founder of his Democratic party Thomas Jefferson so he commissioned the Jefferson Memorial. Jefferson was a slave owner and no one consider a memorial to him before in the nation’s capital. George Washington and many of the founders were miserable slave owners as well. Alexander Hamilton was a smuggler.

Samuel Adams was a terrible beer maker and a rabble-rouser who orchestrated the beatings of many innocent British subjects. Blacks were written out of American history even though they help to win the American Revolution and fought in every single war America has fought. The Chinese were exclude from textbooks even though they helped build much of the Western United States. The mass genocide of Native Americans was also downplay as “Indian Wars” instead of wholesale massacres by American Soldiers. Latinos fought in the Mexcian War for the United States but how many of you have actually heard of Juan Seguín?

So much of what we know about American history was distort, lies, and plain fabrications. Yet, those stories inspired many young Americans to greatness.
