We used PHM (the public health model) as a guide to solve and reduce these issues. The PHM is a broad-based biopsychosocial model emphasizing prevention from primary to tertiary prevention. Primary prevention are applied when an individuals are at risk of involving in misbehaviour activity before the behavior has occured. Secondary prevention refers to programs that attempt to rehabilitate youth who have shown early indications of problem behavior. Tertiary prevention refers to “treatment approaches for the chronic, serious offenders for whom secondary treatment strategies are deemed inappropriate. We used some of the secondary and tertiary prevention for a solution to these issues 1) Social skills training. Social skills training focuses …show more content…

One of the types of misinformation and misusage of of social medias is to do viral thing. Everything will be viral so fast in as most of us have our own smartphones and we receive all these viral things from social medias. What we can do as humans being with brain is we should think many times before we decide to forward or send any information that we get from the internet and social medias. Be smart by not forward any malicious content to anyone else. Next, be careful and believe only in quality information. Trustworthiness for any information is important before you decided to spread the messages or information to others. For example, Malaysians once was been shocked by the fake viral issue about there was a bomb in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur. The situation became chaotic and people who worked at KLCC became afraid of the fake viral news. Here you can see how bad it is to send and receive those fake news. Lastly, what we can do to help reduce this communication issues is to only put our trust on trusted sources and agency. Look only for news from authoritative source and when it was written. Sometimes it is your fault if you send a wrong and fake news because of the carelessness of not checking the source and

The literature that has been reviewed directly incorporates the principles set out in Goldson and Muncie “Youth Justice with Integrity”. The analysis of the current justice model attempts to maximize diversion by providing more offences available for extrajudicial measures and the use of measures for re-offenders. Additionally, it is argued that the de-politicization of the youth justice model will help the integrity by providing effective programs and services that will address the social needs of specific individuals within the available resources in the community. The programs and services that are being used are effective, but there are areas of improvement for greater prevention strategies which will hold a person more accountable for

The advantages of the RFPP Farrington(2000) argues that the risk factor prevention paradigm is a simple approach to identifying the key risk factors for offending and implements prevention methods which are created to counteract them. This approach not only identifies variables to target but it identifies individuals in need of an intervention programme also. Farrington highlights the key advantage of the paradigm which bridges the apparent gap between academic research and practical policy making. What makes it even more attractive to practitioners is that it is easy to understand and communicate and it is accepted. He continues by arguing that risk factors and intervention plans are based on empirical research instead of theories and it avoids difficult theoretical questions about which risk factors have causal effects.

This model is a model for improving juvenile justice through community integration. This model also brings the juvenile court, substance abuse treatment and the community to improve the alcohol and drug treatments for the teens, which also brings has them do positive activities with adults that show how much they care for them. When it comes to the school system, the first thing teachers do when a child acts up is send them to the principles office instead of actually disciplining them and stenting to there needs by actually asking them what’s going on to show them they care. The policy and discipline rules that these schools have pushed kids out of school and into the juvenile justice system. “Recent research by the Council of State Governments Justice Center that tracked nearly 1 million 7th graders in public school for 6 years showed that 60 percent of these students were removed from class at least once, and 15 percent had 11 or more suspensions or expulsions between the 7th grade and 12th grades.”

The public health model is more difficult to define than the other two models due to not everyone understands the concept of public health. The public health model is concerned with individuals’ who have problems but extends the concept of health care beyond just the normal medical treatment due to individuals problems may be linked to social issues as well (Woodside & McClam, 2015). The public health model looks at larger populations and not just individuals by actually collecting data and examining this data to determine the overall problem (Woodside & McClam, 2015). By collecting and examining this data the public health model is used to alleviate health problems that have consequences for society in general, like health insurance for

Social media brings together the millions of people of earth, it has revolutionized the way we think of pen pals; we are able to communicate with other individuals around the world. Most of all we are able to find others with the same interests as us and befriend them. All though it is wonderful to be able to do this it has also caused a backfire. Joe Keohane, a journalist states in his article “How facts backfire,” that backfire is a phenomenon in which people with a strong set of beliefs will not change their belief even if there are facts given (1). Facts are supposed to enlighten an individual’s opinion not enhance their mistaken one.

If they receive assistance, some are then discharged without continued treatment, without treatment they may continue to a path of delinquency and, eventually, adult criminality (Hammond, 2007). Early intervention can “break the cycle” and prevent juveniles from committing future crimes. Crime rate have been falling over the past decade, juvenile arrest is at a 30yr low. “The National Center for Juvenile Justice (NCJJ) found in its latest periodic national report on offenders and victims that the number of killings committed by youth under 18 is at the lowest point in at least three decades” (Smith, 2015). The reasoning behind the drop is that we are sending juveniles to residential treatment over incarceration, which is more in line with the goal of rehabilitation over punishment.

There are several school-based prevention programs, designed to make schools more effective in eliminating delinquency issues. Cognitive based prevention programs, behavioral, environmental and therapeutic programs are all designed to deter delinquency in juveniles. Cognitive based prevention programs, are designed to increase students' knowledge about the dangers of drugs and delinquency. DARE, or Drug Abuse Resistance Education would be an example of this.

ubstance use among adolescent offenders and the lack of acknowledgement and treatment they are not receiving is becoming a huge problem people are ignoring. While reading the report on “Substance Use and Delinquent Behavior Among Serious Adolescent Offenders” three factors that came to my attention and explained the cause on drug use and the effect it has on juveniles were, a violent home life, adolescents with poor affect regulation, high levels of environmental stress or depression and the influence of the peer group and/or neighborhood. While all three of these factors are very much important, what we need to now do to is make sure the adolescents are getting the right treatment they deserve to overcome these statistics so in the future they can have a more successful adulthood. Typically, how the foundation of your family is built effects that you are

The numbers are consistent across the board and while some types of rehabilitation have proven to be more effective with youth than others recidivism decreases when properly implemented programs are present. The resources provided and the life skills learned can reduce recidivism by at least 5% on average. It’s also interesting to notate that some therapies were said to reduce rates by almost 20%. However on average compared to a normal recidivism rate of 50% or higher found in a study comparing 443 different study groups 45% of those were expected to recidivate (Treatment Programs for Juvenile Delinquents,

What is the medical model? This paper aims to critically examine the social model of disability, an organisation formed by disabled individuals in order for an equal and fair society for the disabled community. Every individual should feel and belong to a mainstream society which is also their human right. The social model developed after the publication of the fundamental principles of disability by the union of the physically impaired against segregation (UPIAS) in 1977. ” Disability is something imposed on top of our impairments, by the way we are unnecessary isolated and excluded from full participation in society”.(UPIAS 1975)

As a result, people have created a vicious cycle in which they search, read, believe, and share what they have read, without considering the reliability of the information and news. Technology has influenced communication and journalism; as a result, the media has adopted a business model based on clicks and advertising. The combination of people 's need for information and the greed of news corporations have allowed for the proliferation of “fake news,” a term that has gained importance in the last two years. Fake news is “completely made up, manipulated to resemble credible journalism and attract maximum attention and, with it, advertising revenue” (Hunt, 2016). News has the power to alter people’s perceptions which can impact their decisions related to economy, democratic process, and their lives and jobs.
