/in /by

One of the more contentious issues that has emerged from the field of Victimology:
has been victim precipitation theory, or the concept that crime victims
are an active participant in their victimization by somehow provoking the criminal acts of the offender.

Answer 3 questions below. Can use textbook plus out side source. •

1,What are your thoughts on victim precipitation theory?

2,Should a victim’s behavior be considered when determining why a crime
occurred?

Is it possible to examine how a victim’s characteristics or behaviors contributed to their victimization without engaging in victim blaming?

 

What might be some of the limitations of this sampling approach? What are some potential ethical implications to using a convenience sample?

/in /by

It is not unusual for researchers to use a convenience sample for their study. Consider a study in which the researcher would like to determine how parents working with their children on homework influence the child’s school grades.

The researcher may consider recruiting friends and relatives to participate in your study because it will be easier to obtain their permission for data collection. What might be some of the limitations of this sampling approach? What are some potential ethical implications to using a convenience sample?

Analyzing Language and Emotion (Traditional)
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 6, Section 6.5;
Using our required readings and one recent peer-reviewed article, briefly explain the most well-known regions of the brain involved in language generation and comprehension and explain ONE of the following:

The neurobiology of one language disorder of your choice OR
the neurobiology of one language function that most interests you such as reading, speaking, language learning, sign language, metaphor, categorization, or other topic.
For either topic, please mention specific brain regions underlying those functions.

Using our textbook and one recent peer-reviewed article, briefly explain the most well-known regions of the brain involved in emotion and then explain how language and emotion may interact behaviorally and neurologically. For example, does our language affect the emotions we feel and what might this look like within the brain and in daily life?

Choose emotion OR language (choose both for a challenge) and explain how knowledge of its neurobiology helps understand its relationship to ONE of the following topics:
Issues of culture and diversity
Technology
Life span development
Methods for improving personal or professional life Remember to support claims with peer-reviewed research
Discussion Tips and Recommendations
