The American System of Policing Introduction The police department is among the significant components of the criminal justice system in the United States of America alongside courts and correctional centers. Stevens (2017) describes this body as an integral part of law enforcement that assists in maintaining order in America. History of American Policing American policing operates primarily through government police agencies, which are almost twenty thousand in number. Early policing in America as Stevens, (2017) argues, was applied first in the nineteenth century and was based commonly on the ancient English universal laws, which constituted of volunteers, watch groups and militia systems as the administrators. Components of the American Policing Policing in America is conducted at four upper levels; federal, state, local, and municipal levels. At the national level, there exist federal police and law enforcement agencies. Both police and law enforcement agencies are endowed with police roles, each containing a minor component of the other (Weisburd & Braga, 2019). The agencies have Jurisdiction in all states, territories, and U.S possessions. According to the U.S Code, the agencies are only…
HR Motivation in Brett Jones in Tanzania Podcast and Script In any organization, motivation is essential to the performance of employees. Without motivation, employees will always be dissatisfied at work (Kanfer and Fletcher, 2020). According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs for employees to be motivated, their needs should be fulfilled, starting from the most basic to the most complex needs (Mawere, Mubaya, Reisen & Stam, 2016 p. 26)). From the case study, motivation is an essential element that HG must deal with. Based on the case study, the three issues that faced HG in Tanzania included social problems, motivational problems, and leadership, and lifestyle differences. As presented in the case study, employing Tanzanian citizens based on family ties was a motivational tool for many organizations. When a company or a manager of an organization hired a close friend or a relative of the employee in the organization, the employee’s love and belongings needs were fulfilled, and hence the employee would be motivated. However, although this may increase the productivity of employees at HG due to increased motivations, HG HRM managers…
Statement of the problem In the 21st century, diseases associated with abnormal heart rhythms are on the rise. The lifestyle that most people are living in is a significant factor that has mainly contributed to the increase in this problem. The causes include overweight and obesity, drug abuse including excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking, and poor diets and unhealthy foods. Other factors are beyond human control and are factors to do with nature. People who are likely to have abnormal heart rhythms include people from families known to experience heart problems, people with diabetes, people who have undergone heart surgery, and people with low potassium and other electrolytes (Sulivan, 2013). It is known to cause sudden cardiac deaths. However, the devices that are available in the market and hospitals are not entirely reliable. Technology has tried to discover methods that can measure blood flow in one’s skin, therefore, estimating the rate of heartbeats. Most devices provide inaccurate data and provide information when it is too late. The sensors are not enough and are weak. Others are too heavy for…
A Baptism and Christening Ceremony Ritual Baptism is a ritual in Christianity performed to their believers mainly during their infant age, as an admission rite to the church through the use of water following the example of Jesus Christ in River Jordan. It is also applicable in indoctrination to observe certain practices with the belief that the essential for life after death. It is a holy sacrament in the Roman Catholic Church perceived as a grace-giving way and a cleansing to the original sin. Believers have different perceptions, such as that of the Lutherans that it is a mandate from God, for Methodists a symbolic way of grace-giving and not an approach to the cleansing of the sins. This Christian rite of passage has had progress historically associated with ecumenical consensus and collaboration. It has involved many liturgies revised in different denominations from the ancient Christian rituals. Some books covered this issue, such as the liturgical Book of Common Prayer produced in the western Christendom, which showed their religiosity and social conditions after which came rites that recovered Christian history…
Johnson’s Model in Marge’s Case Introduction Johnson’s model is grounded on the assumption that the intervention of the close family members and relations could accelerate the need for an individual to seek intervention for the drug or substance addiction that plagues them (APA, 2017) The intervention assumes the tough love approach where, in the presence of a professional addiction adviser or any other health practitioner, an individual gets confronted about the effects of the substance abuse. The main purpose of this approach is to catalyze an individual’s need to seek medical intervention as opposed to the dominant assumption that addicts must reach a rock bottom for them to seek medical intervention. The People who might participate in the Intervention In the case of Marge, the husband and the close friends could be the ideal group of people that could be involved in the intervention. The Johnson’s model hypothesize that for the individual addict to feel compelled to seek medical intervention towards sobriety, the people who have borne so much brunt as a result of the behavior and the ones that…
Community Healthcare Practices to Combat Covid-19 The cause for Covid-19 is the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by the coronavirus. The origin of the outbreak was China in December 2019, and three months later, it was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Due to the severity of the disease and the fact that no vaccine has been discovered to contain the spread, some community healthcare practices are the most effective ways to mitigate transmissions (Leiu and Douglas, 2019). Community healthcare practice is a branch of public health measures which are geared towards delaying the spread and reducing the impact of the disease. These practices are dependent on the actions of people and their responsibility in the protection of the communities status. Some of the methods can only be used and are useful when combined. The effective practices will be done by all parties involved including the healthy, those infected and those in charge of large groups such as business owners, employers and planners (Leiu and Douglas, 2019). The success of these practices will be determined…
Issues in Corrections Healthcare Inmate poses a threat to the community because of the infectious diseases obtained from their reckless behavior. The provision of adequate healthcare to inmates is critical for their welfare and the welfare of the communities they live with inmate people. Historically, since 1998 the state cost for inmate’s health care services has been increasing (Fiscella, Beletsky & Wakeman, 2017). The increasing health care cost is influenced by factors, such as increased drug substance abuse and treatment, increased contagious disease, and mental illness. Other factors leading to increased healthcare cost for inmates is increased pharmaceutical costs and lack of proper outsourcing of drugs. Effective treatment of the inmate’s physical and mental well-being reduces the likelihood of committing other crimes (Fiscella, Beletsky & Wakeman, 2017). The purpose of this paper is to discuss and compare the reasons why health care costs are rising in correctional institutions. The Pew researchers and correction of health care costs article outlines reasons for increasing health care costs in the institution as aging inmate population, the prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases, mental…
How much is spent on healthcare in the United States annually? Health insurance is infamously expensive and sophisticated in the United States. Unlike other countries, where universal health care provides a standard level of coverage to all citizens, it’s a different case in the U.S. Standard coverage in California can cost $450 monthly. Similarly, the same plans in New York can cost $600 or even upwards. The public programs are precisely meant for the old, the disabled, and the low-income families and individuals. For all the others, they should acquire private plans, either from their employers, schools or on their own. You can choose a plan that suits you best from the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that provides subsidies to those who cannot afford high premiums of insurance plans. Plans with higher premiums cover more medical expenses. Back in 2018, incentives accumulated to $440 monthly for individuals, and also $1168 monthly for families. By 2028, it is estimated that these costs will rise to $2.9 trillion annually or 9.7 percent of the United States’ economy. What is the basic structure…
Centers for Disease Control The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is one of the most significant public health institutions in the United States. The institution has its headquarters in Georgia, and its main objective is to enhance and protect public health through the development of strategies of prevention and disease control globally. The institution focuses particularly on factors such as pathogens and health promotion. The CDC is known for its website through which it sensitizes the public about the various health practices over and above providing information about the various diseases such as diabetes and obesity. The CDC website has several resources that can be used by a nurse in practice. The website is, for example, equipped with information about the morbidity of sexually transmitted diseases. CDC, through the website, outlines statistics of populations and morbidity and mortality of STIs, and this information can help improve the quality of health care. Through the analysis of the archive data on the morbidity of Sexually Transmitted Infections, the nurse is also able to evaluate the performance of a given form of intervention…
DRUG CONTROL APPROACH I think that this approach used to control heroin addiction and opioid dependency is quite effective. The drugs being used are reliable and do not enhance addiction. Methadone and Buprenorphine are just the right drug prescription to be utilized by any heroin addict or opioid dependency victim. Yes, this medication should be offered to opiate-dependent patients. This treatment will be beneficial to them because these drugs are potent pain relievers, and they stay in the body for a long time before the patient receives another dose. They block opioid intoxication and withdrawal. They also reduce drug cravings and drug sickness.These drugs are useful because they are strictly given out and used under a doctor’s prescription. Buprenorphine cannot be misused because it has a leveling effect in the body in that in case of an overdose there will be no impact felt in the body (Treatment, 2018). Therefore cases of an overdose on this kind of treatment are sporadic. The side effects of these two drugs are not that severe, and they include symptoms such as constipation, nausea, and…
