Although, both agencies have similarities among them, there are significant differences. This paper will discuss those similarities as well as differences in roles, policies as well as their relationship of each role to the criminal justice system. Both public policing and private security involve securing individuals as well as property, and areas. However, public policing involves various duties and roles such as, “during their shift, they may identify, pursue, and arrest suspected criminals; resolve problems within the community; and enforce traffic laws” (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2009). Public policing also involves the response to emergency calls through the call system and at times, they must be present in court as the result of citations given for violating a specified law by citizens.
Skills and Characteristics of Mental Health Jennette Elmore CJHS/410 April 13, 2015 Dr. Ray Delaney Skills and Characteristics of Mental Health Human service workers use a number of skills and characteristics to fulfill their job responsibilities. The types of people and issues mental health professionals work with include but are not limited to drug addicts, alcoholics, abused women and children, and those with mental illness. Human service workers are needed to assist individuals in finding services to help them with many issues. Without human service professionals locating services and assisting their clients in obtaining these services, many lives would be in jeopardy. Other important services provided are mental health or crisis intervention human service delivery systems within the criminal justice system.

Problems Facing Human Service Clients BSHS/305 03/15/2015 Barnett I will be explaining the different problems that are potentially facing human services clients and how the specific helping skills can be used with clients. There are a variety of issues a human service professional faces with their clients. These issues can range from substance abuse, mental or physical illness, grief, disabilities, caring for children and families, domestic violence, and many other issues. “The range of problems facing human service clients today can be identified in five ways and they are; developmental and situational problems, hierarchical needs, needs created by societal change, and environmental influences. Different skills are used when working with clients to properly assist them so that problems in living are resolved.
Chapter 5 of the James and Gilliland text describes a crisis intervention team (CIT) approach to dealing with crises of the mentally ill, many of whom are homeless or have entered unstable living situations since the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. The act brought changes that released many mentally ill people back into the community. Analyze the tools and resources that a CIT approach could offer in your own community if you were developing these resources. Analyze the benefits and potential obstacles of this approach if you were the ambassador to advocate locally for the concept. Determining the amount of homeless individuals in any given area can be a difficult task and statistics very dependent on the source.
Probation and Parole Terms Paper Beth Centeno CJA/234 June 26, 2012 Gregory Breslin Probation and Parole Terms Paper Probation and Parole Terms must address the client’s issues that led them, or could have caused the reason they committed their crimes. For instance, a drug/alcohol abuse treatment plan for clients with a history of drug and/or alcohol abuse could benefit the client to overcome issues of abuse that may have led them to commit a crime such as: Driving While Intoxicated. A discussion for three clients on the roster for probation/parole will show Team A’s rationale for the conditions chosen for each client. The teams’ rationale of conditions will include outcomes after
We know what causes homelessness, but we are still learning the causes of mental illness. What I would like to accomplish in human services is a better way to manage the lives of those in need. We need better strategies for the programs which we have available in every community of the United States. The way I go about solving personal
Wehrman and De Angelis (2011) state that there are four common forms of involvement being 1) police-community, 2) encouragement of citizens to step forward and speak to help police, 3) participation in crime-prevention programs and 4) having citizens sitting on advisory boards or committees. Overall, by continuing to form initiatives and programs focused on domestic violence and include the community, other agencies and all levels of organizations the rate of crimes will decrease abuse and create a safer environment for all. With law enforcement, there needs to be more education, protection and programs focused on women and their children who are experiencing the violence in their homes and need assistance and support to leave. It also will take new laws that are harsher on the abusers so they possibly pay attention and consider the consequences and seek therapy or counseling to take steps in their life. It takes many people working together in order for different strategies to work.
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
Community policing is predicated upon discussions between citizens and the police.” This type offers police officers to know the community they work for and any problems within that community. They attend many meetings having to do with crime and the hope of being able to resolve certain criminal activity or the atmosphere for criminal acts to occur. This style is the more proactive approach and focuses more on correcting environmental matters that help facilitate a crime and programs such as rehabilitation to help substance abusers and teen pregnancy in getting their act cleaned up, not causing it to be repeated (University of Phoenix, 2004). The direction in which the problem-solving style of communication flows would be unidirectional. Everyone here is trying to help someone, so we can have a better society.
