Correctional Officer The education I am choosing to study is criminal justice. I am studying criminal justice to become a correctional officer. The reason I have chosen this as my career is because I have known people with criminal backgrounds. I would like to help others on the right track to have a better way of living. Being a correctional officer is enforcing rules and regulations that may help offenders look up to the correctional officers for advice or see them as a mentor.
Since probation officers deal with the recently paroled convicts, “qualifications vary by agency, but a bachelor's degree is usually required. Most employers require candidates to pass oral, written, and psychological exams” (BLS, 2012). To become a probation officer I should get a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and take sociology classes. These classes will help prepare to confront the social issues that my probationers face as well give me a strong foundation to navigate the court systems. Fortunately since people have not stopped committing crimes, career growth is expected to continue to grow.
Our own different and individual strategies for managing stress were discussed as well as how we learned these stress managing strategies. In the social learning activity, we conducted a survey to learn how individuals in our community experience and cope with stress. We acknowledged the importance of the federal laws and procedures created to protect patient privacy. We gained insight into the Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and practiced completing a patient consent and restriction information form. This allowed our class to become informed on the process of admitting a patient in the field.

Career Research Paper The career I plan to follow will be in the probation department. I will major in psychology and get a minor degree in criminology. I have chosen this career because helping others is what makes me happy. Going into the probation department I plan to help others fix their lives before they make another mistake that will put them in jail or even kill them for making the wrong decisions. Juvenile probation is the career I am most interested in.
It is a multi-agency team that is coordinated by a local authority, which is overseen by the Youth Justice Board which deals with young offenders. YOTS were first set up following the 1988 Crime And Disorder Act. Its main intentions were to reduce any risks of younger people in societies offending or re offending but also to provide rehabilitation and counseling to anyone who does offend. Youth Offending Teams engage young offenders in a wide range of tasks that are designed to put something positive back into the local community through unpaid activities as well as preventing them from re-offending. YOT's ensure that offenders have a lower chance of re-offending by performing checkups during the rehabilitation process, checking on their accommodation, friends, possibilities of coercion into offending or drug and alcohol use and any other issues.
Corrections programs aim to treat and restore delinquent youths rather than punish them for their actions. Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania offers the Community Service Work Program which focuses on balanced and restorative justice. This focus addresses the needs of the victim, the offender, and the community by utilizing victim restoration, youth redemption, and community protection. Community service has proven to be an effective method of mending victim and community harm while building positive life skills in juveniles. The activities in the program are aimed to assist the juvenile in building empathy and recognition for the
for the maintenance of public order, safety, health, morals, etc. The United States Department of Justice has defined police and community relations as a philosophy that “focuses on crime and social disorder through the delivery of police services that includes aspects of traditional law enforcement, as well as prevention, problem-solving, community engagement, and partnerships. (Docobo, 2005) The future of police-community relations I believe rests on organizing and developing special officers in permanent areas, where they can operate as community based problem solvers. By providing these community officers the opportunity to interact with the same people on a face to face basis each day, this approach allows citizens to give input about what needs to be taken care of. People would have the chance to help set local police priorities and to develop creative solutions to community problems.
