The justice model is a sentencing approach that uses determinate sentences, or fixed punishment terms; calls for the elimination of parole; and makes treatment voluntary. The justice model views crime reduction and successful incarceration as possible only if all offenders serve the same sentence for the same crime. This model posits that crime will continue or decrease to the extent that all offenders are treated the same.

In this assignment, you will prepare a written critical assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the justice sentencing model.

Assignment Guidelines:

• Address the following in a Word document of 3–5 pages:
  • Identify the specific goals and challenges of the model.
    • Use specific examples from case studies to support your critique.
  • Do you feel that the model is an effective approach to the criminal justice system? Why or why not?
    • Identify specific research findings to support your analysis.
  • How viable is the model in managing costs and other current challenges facing correctional managers? Explain.
    • Identify specific philosophical or social issues that could be used to support your conclusion.
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA

A wife and mother of 2 middle childhood-aged sons cheated on her husband. Her infidelity resulted in her having a son with her secret lover. Her husband, J.M., did not learn that the newborn was not his until her lover saw that the baby looked just like him. He showed up at the married couple’s home to demand that he see his son. They sent him away. Soon after the lover’s visit, J.M. got a paternity test that ruled him out as the father. However, he decided to stay with his wife and raise the child as his own. Later, the lover took the couple to court to get joint custody of his child. Below is the court’s ruling:

“Request for and consent for paternity testing of the minor child is denied. Defendant J.M. is determined to be and is hereby declared to be the legal father of B. S. M.”

The court denied the paternity test and request for custody because (despite the infidelity) the couple was married. Please share your reactions to this TRUE story by answering the following questions:

• What do you think about this verdict?
• In what ways might the couple’s decision to stay together (despite the infidelity) impact the 3 children involved? (Hint: Consider effects of divorce, the children’s social and emotional development, and/or Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory)
• This couple argues quite a bit, which is a source of stress for the middle childhood-aged children. What might help the children cope with this type of adversity?

Single-Payer Healthcare

The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was implemented primarily to provide access to health insurance for those who would not otherwise be insured. The ACA is not designed as a single-payer healthcare system although some of its architects as well as its detractors see the ACA as steering the United States toward one.

Research the single-payer approach to healthcare delivery using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

In a 3–4-page paper, address the following:

• Define a single-payer system and identify a country where it is used.
• Using demonstrated research findings, describe the strengths and weaknesses of a single-payer healthcare system.
• Based on your current situation in terms of healthcare coverage (insured by an employer, covered under a parent’s or spouse’s policy, receiving government benefits, uninsured, etc.), explain how a single-payer plan would affect how you receive healthcare. Do you favor a single-payer approach? Why, or why not?
• If you were to design a single-payer system, explain how you would address the challenges.

Write a 3–4-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

Figure 1.1 in the course text illustrates how various functional plans for a healthcare organization support the overall strategic plan.

Figure 1.1: Relationship of overall strategic plan to business unit plans. Adapted from Strategic Planning and Marketing in Healthcare Organizations by R. Stevens and L. S. Silver, 2015, section 1.2: “The Importance of Strategic Planning and Marketing – Strategic Planning Process Overview.” Copyright 2015 by Bridgepoint Education, Inc.

The healthcare delivery system is often described as a service-driven industry. Therefore, it is vitally important for healthcare organizations to define the services that they are providing; however, it is equally important to determine the demographics or customer base that requires the specific service.

The strategic planning process supports the healthcare organization by prioritizing objectives and detailing the actions needed to fulfil the goals of the business plan. Specific actions are unique and depend on the healthcare organization’s services, goals, and mission. Not all objectives outlined in the strategic plan require marketing plans (e.g., purchasing land, equipment, and buildings). Other objectives may require a marketing plan (e.g., providing physical therapy targeted toward a specific demographic).

To prepare for this discussion, read Chapters 1 and 2 of the course text. You may also want to review the recommended article by Yang (2010). Then read the scenario below and construct your initial post based on the directives that follow.

Scenario

The marketing director for Happy Valley long-term care center looks at the organization’s strategic plan to differentiate marketable objectives from non-marketable objectives. Objectives found in the healthcare organization’s strategic plan include the following:

• Purchasing medical equipment
• Purchasing more land
• Acquiring financial capital
• Acquiring physical resources
• Providing elder day care to Alzheimer’s patients
• Providing physical therapy
• Providing social activities such as bingo
• Promoting product awareness such as: marketing in a manor to improve the public’s perception of the HCO’s product or service
• Providing shuttle service to medical appointments
• Increasing sales
• Creating a brand
• Establishing the organization as a leader in the long-term care industry

Initial Post: Based on the Happy Valley scenario detailed above and the information presented in Chapters 1 and 2 of the course text, construct an initial post in which you

• Differentiate between the organization’s stated objectives as to whether they are marketable or non-marketable objectives.
• Select the marketable objectives (i.e., those you would recommend developing in a marketing plan), and explain why you consider those objectives marketable.
• Explain why the marketing plan objectives should be in line with the objectives in the healthcare organization’s strategic plan.

Be sure to provide concrete examples from the text and from your own research. Each source should be cited and referenced according to APA style as outlined in the.

Vision, Mission, and Values Statements

CLICK TO ORDER THIS OR A SIMILAR PAPER

The course is structured so that each week you will work on specific segments of your marketing plan for the Final Project that is due in Week Six. This week you will choose a specific healthcare organization (HCO) and begin examining the products and services found in the HCO’s strategic plan. For this assignment, read Chapter 3 in the course text, which addresses the importance of the mission, vision, and values statements to organizations. Why is it important for an organization to have these statements? What purpose do they serve?

Next, research and choose a specific healthcare organization for your marketing plan. You could select the organization your currently work for, one you are familiar with, or one you would like to work for in the future. After selecting your HCO, conduct research online to locate the organization’s strategic plan and read its vision, mission, and values statements. Add the term strategic plan after the HCO’s name in the search engine box (e.g., Sharp Healthcare strategic plan) to narrow your search results.

In your assignment

• State your choice of HCO and explain why it interests you.
• State the organization’s vision, mission, and values statements
• Discuss whether the organization’s purpose and priorities are clearly defined
• Discuss whether the mission statement clearly separates the HCO from competing organizations.
• Include any ideas you have at this point for improving the mission statement in terms of aligning the HCO’s stated priorities with its products and services.
• Discuss whether the current vision statement correctly describes the HCO’s path as it implements the strategic plan.
  • Could the current vision statement be utilized to motivate the organization’s workforce?
  • If not, how would you reword the vision statement to better reflect high ideals and aspirations to fulfill the HCO’s strategic plan?
• Discuss whether the current values statement takes into consideration the values of multiple participants such as the community, employees, shareholders, and customers.
  • How would you reword the current value statement to better reflect priorities found within the HCO’s strategic plan?

The assignment

• Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length (not including the title page and references page) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must include a separate title page with the following:
  • Title of paper
  • Student’s name
  • Course name and number
  • Instructor’s name
  • Date submitted
• Must use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text.
• Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
• Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Honeymoon Destinations case study

To complete this assignment, use the Honeymoon Destinations case study that you read in the studies in this unit, the Honeymoon Destinations Codebook document, and the Honeymoon Destinations Codebook Errata document provided in the Resources. Note that there are three discrepancies between the data in the case codebook from the reading and the data in the Honeymoon Destinations Codebook document. These exceptions are outlined in the Honeymoon Destinations Errata document. Use the data in the Excel file provided in the Resources to complete this assignment. Todd Bobzien and Clayton Rose have engaged you to analyze data gathered via their direct-mail survey. The responses of the 91 people who returned the survey are represented in the 54 variables in the Honeymoon Destinations Codebook document. (Refer to the data codebook in the “Honeymoon Destinations” reading in this unit’s studies for an explanation of what each of the variables appearing in the spreadsheet represents.)
Todd and Clayton would like you to investigate the following: In the beginning, they need to focus their marketing and distribution to as few channels as possible, and they want to know what the very best channels would be, based on what the data suggests.
Clayton believes that the individuals in their target group (those with higher incomes) would be willing to spend at least fifteen dollars on a video, and he wants you to test that hypothesis.
Todd is less interested in testing a hypothesis than he is in developing an estimate for what people would be willing to pay. He would like 95 percent confidence intervals for the average price people would be willing to pay: one for the higher-income group, one for the lower-income group.
Analyze the 91 survey responses to provide answers to Todd’s and Clayton’s three questions. Write a management report that contains your findings and recommendations. Complete your report in a Word document, copying in whatever Excel output and graphics you need to support your report. This output needs to be placed within the text and must be legible and suitable for inclusion in a management report. Refer to the scoring guide prior to submission to ensure you meet all evaluation criteria.
