Received an email from Dave Suess asking an hypothetical question:

    Error 1 Perhaps the most noticeable micro-level practice error displayed in the Gabriel Myers case can be seen in the case worker’s careless effort to provide informed consent for Gabriel’s medical treatment. According to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics, “In instances when clients lack the capacity to provide informed consent, social workers should protect their clients’ interests by seeking permission from an appropriate third party, informing clients consistent with the clients’ level of understanding. In such instances, the third party acts in a manner consistent with clients’ wishes and interest” (Socialworkers.org, 2008). To address certain behavioral issues related to traumatic experiences, case workers…

    Hi Professor Everett and class, I reviewed the framework in chapter three and I believe Hartman and Burgess provided sufficient information to help us understand the linkages between sexual abuse and the victim's level of adjustment and post-trauma outcome. For example, when the family and professionals focus on the child by paying attention to their reactions when they discuss the abuse, it becomes an important factor in helping the child process their feelings by helping them create a way to move those terrible memories from active memory to distant memory. In doing so, the child is able to adjust to what has happened to them which in turn, provides a chance for them to function effectively in today's society.…

    Bill Cosby Saga Analysis

    The Bill Cosby Saga: More than Meets the Eye The ongoing saga surrounding Bill Cosby has created some interesting dialogue across America and the world; however, I will argue that the discussions and debates that should be sparked by this story are, for the most part, going unaddressed. While I believe that we need to discuss the veracity of the accusations that have been launched against Bill Cosby, and with the latest bit of information that has been released, there is definitely a dark shadow hovering over him; however, I believe a significant portion of the energy directed at this story will be better served engaging the enigmatic issues that are at the core of the story — rape, incest and molestation in the black community. It is extremely…

    To combat the issue of juvenile sex offenders from a social control perspective, there must be a focus on prevention instead of rehabilitation or punishment. From a family perspective, there is a major focus on economics. Of all the working single mothers in the United States, eighty-seven percent make minimum wage, meaning they are most likely working full time to support their families. This leaves more time for children of single parents to be unsupervised. This supervision is crucial to combatting juvenile sex offenses when referring back to the fact that the majority of offenses occur at either the victim’s or perpetrator’s home.…

    Sexual assault is a serious crime that is extremely consequential in the United States, especially within the U.S. Armed Forces. Although sexual assault is a serious crime in and out of the military, the military seems to look over the issue. According to an article by Jennifer Koons, the Pentagon has stated, approximately 3,000 service members reported being sexually assaulted in 2012. While that number is somewhat large, a confidential Department of Defense survey suggests an even bigger number closer to 26,000 (14,000 were men), 8 times more than reported by the Pentagon. Although some reports are filed, this situation identifies that instead of conducting thorough investigations, they simply did not care.…
