Should Welfare Recipients Be Drug Tested Pre-employment drug testing and post hiring random testing has become common place in today’s business world. In order to ensure that their employees can function safely for the good of themselves, fellow employees and the company property, companies have adopted the practice of drug testing employees. In order meet eligibility requirements, potential employees must submit to the testing and declare that they will maintain a drug free status by joining the random pool that can be tested at any time during employment. Since this is becoming the norm when seeking employment, should those individuals who have not found employment but seek government assistance be subject to the same types of drug testing? There is an ongoing debate on whether drug testing of welfare recipients is legal in many of the local state governments.
LEAP envisions a world in which drug policies work for the benefit of society, keeping our communities safer. To achieve this the organization thinks that legalization and regulation would end violence, reduce crime, disease, protect human rights and lessen the incidence of death. These are people that are either still fighting the war on drugs or at some point were in a position to do so. It actually amazes me that the people that make up the organization of LEAP have been on the front lines of this war and from firsthand experience realize it is not working. They believe by continuing to fight the so called “war on drugs”, the U.S. government has worsened these problems of society instead of alleviating them.
The parallel Inventory of Drug Use Consequences assesses negative consequences of alcohol/drug use more generally. These instruments can be motivationally useful as well, because they connect drinking and drug use with current problems and hassles that the client might want to change (Miller, 2011). I feel like Donovan is ready for change because he called to make the appointment himself, I feel his wife was a source of his motivation because of the views she had about his cocaine use and he wants to save his marriage. Donovan’ strengths is the fact that he likes his job and he was concerned enough to call to make the appointment. Mobilizing clients’ own strengths and social supports is important not only in rehabilitation, but in maintenance as well.
These programs have been designed to change offenders’ view of drug use, attitudes, values, and expectations that maintain antisocial behavior (cite the bok). The programs that have been created for the inmates to help them deal with their addictions have been set up target the criminogenic needs of high risk offenders’ including substance abuse, antisocial attitudes, and self control. These programs have been set up to be developed and maintained by staff, with an ongoing monitoring of antisocial behaviors within treatment units, and positive reinforcement (cite the bok). The staff members in these treatment programs have at least an undergraduate degree or some type of training in criminal behavior and offender treatment (cite the bok). Another characteristic of these treatment programs is the relapse prevention strategies that provide skills in anticipating and avoiding problem situations (cite the
Unless the customer, whom Joe criticized, by using a company computer, came back and filed a complaint against John or the company, I strongly believe that Joe can be dealt with internally before our company takes any further action. Through the contract, the company has the right to monitor its employees’ usage of company computers and systems. Therefore, Joe can technically be disciplined for threatens to sue the company for invasion of privacy. I would review our company policies once again to explain the rights, privileges, and commitment of individuals involved as a means of governing working relationship. If Joe fails to improve, the best decision would be the termination of his employment under a mutual understanding to avoid going to

The Overview of the video “The Meth Epidemic” was about the history of meth use around America throughout the early 90’s and 2000’s, the pharmaceutical companies and their involvement, the crimes and effects the drug had on people lives. Implications for community health on the issue of the meth epidemic can be good. People within our field of work can try and help individuals who are having problems with the drug by trying to help them get off by hosting preventions classes especially in the west coast region where it’s most used out there. The class can talk about why the drug is bad backing it up with statistics and recent reports, physical and mental symptoms of the drug and how it affects people and their live to try and raise awareness. My personal impressions on this video were that it did a good job on presenting the viewers with statistics and critical information about meth and its findings nationwide.

This program helps people who commit drug related offensives by holding them accountable and making them take responsibility for their actions, by demonstrating to the offender that if they re-offend there will be severe consequences such as, being arrested and serving jail time. As I stated people with drug problems need to get extensive treatment but this tactic implemented by Judge Steven Alm and the Criminal Justice professor is a great start to solve the epidemic of drug related probation violators. I have personally seen people whom I’m closely acquainted with go through this same type of program that Judge Alm and the Criminal Justice Professor implemented, right here in Oklahoma City this program is called Drug Court, the program has helped them stay off drugs and eventually complete their probation and some have even gone on to be substance abuse counselors. They devote their time to help men and women that are on probation and dealing with substance abuse turn their life’s around and realize that they don’t have to commit crimes and that they can also overcome criminal behavior associated with substance
The website provides information to educate employees who want to find out more information or are confused about Sony’s corporate culture. It mentions the company’s ethical business conduct and compliance with laws and regulations. In addition to the ‘Sony Group Code of Conduct’ as a reference, the company tries to strengthen the compliance system by providing employees with an internal hot line system for any questions or concerns. In addition, Sony encourages whistle blowing because they want their employees to report concerns or seek guidance about possible violations of laws or internal policies. Although Sony does not reward whistle blowers, they do keep reports issued in good faith confidential and protect the employee.
