...Annotated Bibliography: What the Literature Says About Juvenile Sex Offenders The following articles, factsheets, and studies have been compiled to assist attorneys and individuals working on behalf of youth charged with sexual offending. The information contained in these resources aim to help others realize the fundamental differences between adult sex offenders and juvenile sex offenders, which include positive responses of juveniles to treatment, low recidivism rates of juveniles and negative impact of registries on youth development. It is our hope that this information will be used to improve legal outcomes for juvenile sex offenders, and uphold the purpose of the juvenile justice system as a rehabilitative, not punitive, system. PUBLICATIONS BY TOPIC Recidivism Rates/Amenability to Treatment Judith V. Becker, What We Know About the Characteristics and Treatment of Adolescents Who have Committed Sexual Offenses, 3 CHILD MALTREATMENT 317, (1998). The author states that comprehensive data does not exist to support the notion that if adolescents commit one sexual offense, they will go on to develop a pattern of sexual-offending behaviors or develop a psychosocial disorder.

...Annotated Bibliography for Standardized Testing Perry Barr Devry University Annotated Bibliography for Standardized Testing : I was always told that one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch; which is true. Standardized Testing should be used to find the child with a learning disability and work with that child. Not to grade the whole school and that school gets a poor grade. That’s like taking a bunch of apples and throwing them out just because a couple of them were spoiled. A person needs to work with the good parts of the apple and make apple pie. Improve the child by adding things that will take that child higher and increase their ability to learn. Gregory J. Cizek, "Unintended Consequences of High Stakes Testing - P-12,” Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, Sep. 2001 Susan Ohanian, "Collateral Vomitage,” www.susanohanian.org, Mar. 14, 2002 Standardized testing causes severe stress in younger students. According to education researcher Gregory J. Cizek, anecdotes abound “illustrating how testing... produces gripping anxiety in even the brightest students, and makes young children vomit or cry, or both.” On Mar. 14, 2002, the Sacramento Bee reported that “test-related jitters, especially among young students, are so common that the Stanford-9 exam comes with instructions on what to do with a test booklet in case a student vomits on it.” Cizek is an education researcher and I believe his studies are in depth to the topic I am documenting.

The psychological personality assessments included outgoing personality, the level of mental stability, experience, the ability to be agreeable, and whether they have a conscience.

...Emotions in Effective Communication Shari L Hess BSHS/385 Monday, December 14, 2015 Cynthia Cucuzza Emotions in Effective Communication Emotions in interpersonal communication are an important role in building working relationships with clients. It is important for human service professionals to maintain eye contact, nonverbal behavior, and listening to the clients. Human service workers understand the importance of maintaining working relationships with clients and avoiding emotions that are not appropriate in conversations with them. The impact that emotions have in interpersonal communication, obstacles an interviewer faces when dealing with clients and their emotions, and assessing client’s culture and the impact it has on the interviewer will be discussed in this paper. In Human Services, emotions can impact the way human service workers ask questions and their responses to the client. The worker can gain advantage of a client’s emotions by using empathy. Empathy is listening to the client, sharing and understanding their concerns or feelings. Emotions are the way a client feels or reacts to something that was said or shared with them using nonverbal communication. A client’s emotional reactions can have a negative or positive result if a human service worker can maintain appropriate eye contact and body language. This means looking at the client with your eyes so as to encourage them to keep talking (Evans, Hearn, Uhlemann, & Ivey, 2011). Three obstacles...

...Taking Steps to Becoming a Successful Person and Student Gertrude Payton General Sciences 200 Instructor: Stephen Burgor September 16, 2014 The only individual who can determine my success or failure is me. Time management between my education and personal life will be a challenging responsibility as balance is needed. While taking advantage of every opportunity to use various tools and strategies available to help me gain knowledge and understanding in an effective way. I am taking steps to becoming a successful person and student through time management, hard work, determination, perseverance, along with accountability. Returning back to school has made me transition into a learning mode/mentality. The learning process is taking some adjustment as I have been out of school for many years. I know that I can succeed because I am motivated (Ellsworth, 1997). Some concepts and ideas are not always understood by me but I have found that I can begin to understand by reading, doing my assignments, and asking questions. Discouragement sometimes comes to me when things are not going exactly as I would like but I keep trying. This helps me to stay encouraged even in times when I want to quit or give up. I press ahead and stay positive. Although leadership may come calling without request, more often it comes to those who prepare for it by planning their careers (Andolsen, 2008). I decided to start planning my career by getting enrolled in school and research...

Retrieved from http://www.academia.edu/187718/Organisational_Change_Management_A_Critical_review The author contend while successful management of change is crucial to organizations there are often conflicting theories and approaches to change management. As a result, management may be confused as to the most appropriate route to take. The purpose of the article is to offer a critical review of some of the main theories and approaches to organizational change management as a way to begin managing change. Due to the complexity of the military setting, change is often looked upon as an unwanted kink in what is considered traditional processes and procedures. Military leadership responsible for successfully leading service members returning from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) presenting with a myriad of mental health and substance use disorders (SUD) must forgo the traditional negative stigmas associated with mental health and substance abuse services and offer a non-retributive path which leads subordinates to openly receive desperately needed services.
