    The Sherman and Berk Minneapolis Domestic Violence experiment was an experiment that focused on the effects of arrest with an emphasis on domestic violence cases. During the experiment, police were given three methods to use in order to reduce domestic violence cases. These methods included arresting the individual who committed the crime, an attempt to counsel both parties involved, and sending the offender away from the victim in order to cool down. As a result, some problems arose from the experiment due to “prematurely and unduly publicizing” the results of the experiment labeled as a “slippage”.…

    SALP: Domestic Abuse Program Evaluation Christopher M. Nima San Jose State University Social workers have long confronted the multiple issues that coexist within a household filled with domestic violence. The problems that can fester in a household filled with domestic violence range from child endangerment to alcohol abuse. Unfortunately, services for the victims of these types of family violence have been splintered, forcing single women or families to go to multiple agencies for support. This issue can become ever more complicated when the victims come from immigrant households who are less familiar with American culture, laws, and services available to them. The focus of the program evaluation is to propose human…

    It is a great pleasure to recommend Rachel Sitasz for admission to the Edward Hospital Student Volunteer Program. She is one of the most empathetic, kind, and exceptional humans I have encountered in my 14 years of teaching. I teach Rachel in my 8th grade advanced ELA class. Her academics, character, innate curiosity, intrinsic motivation, ethical standards, and unwavering desire to give back, have put Rachel in a class of her own. In fact, for the first time in over 25+ years, the eighth-grade team created a brand new end-of-the-year award for our graduation awards assembly.…

    Napavine Jr. Sr. High School, just like every other educational institution, has multiple stakeholders with whom we must deal. The challenges we face are the close proximity of our small school to the majority of community members and parents, and the intimacy and long-term shared experiences between staff, parents and students. While this creates a large familial bond, like any family, issues arise when people on all sides find themselves in a situation that requires a decision that might negatively affect the perceived familial relationship. At Napavine, we have teachers, parents, community members and students who have been in the community for all of their lives; and, we have those same stakeholders who have not. Division between stakeholder…

    Governor’s School Last summer, I attended governor's school west where three hundred and twenty-five bright and open-minded students from all across North Carolina gathered for five and a half weeks in a college campus setting. To me, this was a big milestone in life that changed me for the better. We left our cozy lives of families and friends to start with a clean slate with strangers we’ve never seen in our lives. At first, we thought of it as a sacrifice of our summer to glamorize our college application, but throughout the program we experienced things that exceeded beyond our expectations.…

    Intimate partner violence cast such a large net over our society. This is what struck by most in the power and control documentary and the Ted Talk. Intimate partner violence cuts across all backgrounds and seriocomic classes and can affect anyone no matter their status. The aspect of both the Ted Talk and the documentary I found most striking was how almost all intimate partner violence fallows the same pattern from the background of the abuser to the tactics of power and control they employ which then cycle back to impacting their children. In both the documentary and the Ted talk the background of the abusers seemed to be very similar.…

    People come together for many different reasons. In the days since my Uncle Ricky got hurt on his motorcycle and found out he had cancer people have really come together and been there for him. People have gathered together and thrown him a “Celebration of Life” party that over 150 people came together to celebrate. My Uncle Ricky was a truck driver so we brought in the trucks and blew the horn for him one last time. Just like in the movie Freedom Writers, how the black people came together with the Mexicans and Cambodian people and had parties.…

    One of my beliefs that could be in conflict with a social work value or ethical standard is my feeling towards the people that decide to stay in a domestic violence relationship. I believe that no one should get abused in a relationship. A couple should stay in a relationship because they are in love and not because they do not have the financial resources to be on there own or fear for their lives. Domestic violence to me consists of physical, emotional, psychological, and financial abuse.…

    In my personal opinion, I agree with everything the article states. I have always been quite familiar with what to look for to unmask an abusive relationship. The women in my family have all either seen this happen or it has happen to them, therefore, in order to protect me from the harmful effects of abuse they educated me on the subject. Every sign that they warned me about, or told me to keep an eye out for was listed in the article: jealousy, control, constant checking in, and the more aggressive type of ‘play fighting’. However, there was one more sign they warned me about that was not in this article, the other sign is their attitude towards their partner.…
