The shooter then pretended to bend down like other people at the scene. There were seventeen people murdered and seventeen injured at the scene. The suspect, Nikolas Cruz, was arrested at Coral Springs an hour later after the incident (Lombardi, 2018). It was at a time when parkland residents were demanding measures for gun control in the area. Additionally, it was recorded as the worst high school mass killing through rifle after the Columbine High School massacre that happened in 1999. When Cruz was presented to a grand jury and charged with the case, he was first placed in an isolation cell to watch his suicidal moves. However, when Cruz’s history was followed up, he had developmental disabilities, which made him dislike people. At school, he was reported as threatening other students that he would harm them.  Nikolas Cruz acquired the rifle legally by buying from a Coral Springs gun store. He had previously undergone mental health assessment, and it was clear that he had low chances of harming himself and others. When he was aligned to court, he admitted his actions and refused to go ‘no guilty’ stage. Cruz attacked a jail officer while in jail on November 18 when he was asked to stop dragging his shoes while walking in the jail’s dayroom. He was charged with a bail of two hundred thousand dollars. The court was failing to take into consideration his mental health to determine his state. Prior examination on Nikolas Cruz did not show clear results of him being mentally ill. However, most of his behaviors indicated mental health instability. He talked much about guns and posted threats on social media concerning gun violence. He was also found in possession of many dangerous weapons. References Lombardi, D. (2018).

Hi group, I worked on the bullet point for key results of the sample and if p-values were noted. The key results for the study: Significant Results of sample According to the results, a total of 134 participants completed the study 92 males and 42 females. The average age of the participants was 61 years old. Based on the sample, 54 percent of the participants were veterans, 16 percent were military personnel and 30 percent were dependents. No civilians  There were no significant differences except for the age and the participants lost during the study. The younger population ranging 18-29 had the highest attrition rate with 48 percent compared to the participants 65 and older had an attrition rate of 15 percent Based on the pre-test and post-test control group design, the control group participants were hospitalized for an average of 15 days for pretest and 23 days for post-test. The intervention group was hospitalized for an average of 14 days for pretest and 10 days for post-test.- Wilcoxon signed-rank test compared the pre-test and post-test scores. Results: PTSD severity: no p-values, logistic regression, and X2 were used. There was a significant difference between the control and experimental group and PTSD symptoms based on using the IES-R cutoff of 24.

2:2 Attachment starts from the moment of birth as an infant begins to recognize her mother’s smell, voice, and face. Children with insecure attachment due to a parent with unresolved emotional issues or an inconsistent parenting style show an inability to consistently show emotions. Children who have a secure attachment to at least one adult have higher self-esteem, social skills, and empathy. Empathy can be shown by children as young as 2 years of age and continues to develop into adolescence. Empathy is critical to the formation of healthy, reciprocal relationships. It allows individuals to understand how someone else may feel. If empathy is lacking, an individual may not hold back from physically or emotionally harming others because he does not have the capacity to understand how the impact of such harm. The relationship between the lack of empathy and antisocial behavior can be evident in children in early to middle elementary school years. This lack of empathy is one of the primary contributors to violent behavior. In this Assignment, you analyze the role that attachment plays in the development of empathy and how empathy is a protective factor against violent behavior. You also explore the expression “neurons that fire together wire together” and how it relates to violent behavior. To prepare for this Assignment: Review the Learning Resources related to attachment and empathy. By Day 7 In a 3- to 5- page paper: Explain the role of attachment in empathy. Explain how and why the presence of empathy may be a protective factor against causing harm. Provide an example of a violent crime and how attachment and empathy may play a role.Explain whether or not empathy may be hard-wired. If so, how? Provide an example. Explain the expression “neurons that fire together wire together.” Provide an example. Support your rationale with references to the Learning Resources and other academic sources.

UK SOURCE HARVARD REFERENCES 15000 words Describe and Evaluate the Effectiveness of Behavioural Therapies” Ensure your essay is logically structured (introduction, main body & conclusion), and be fully referenced throughout and accompanied by an accurate bibliography. described at least two behavioural therapies applied these therapies to at least one abnormal behaviour evaluated behavioural therapies in terms of its effectiveness described one form of cognitive behavioural therapy evaluated cognitive behavioural therapy in terms of its effectiveness identified and explained the relevant ethical issues related to the use of behavioural therapies used appropriate psychological terminology with reference to classical and operant conditioning and social learning theory correctly referenced work using the Harvard system Main body: For the main body, you will need to include key research and show how these illustrate the processes of learning within the therapies you select. You should describe these succinctly, using appropriate psychological terminology. You should describe at least two behavioural therapies, clearly explaining the processes used and show how they change behaviour. You will need to explain the relevance and usefulness of the therapies in terms of how successful they are in terms of treating maladaptive behaviours. To evaluate the evidence, you should include the following: Consider the effectiveness of behavioural therapies – for example, you could compare and contrast the different exposure therapies and comment on how they compare in terms of effectiveness. You should use specific research examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the therapies. Consider the limitations associated with behavioural therapies – compare behavioural therapies with other treatments, particularly CBT; discuss the development of CBT and consider whether it has improved overall effectiveness; consider the limitation of behavioural therapies. Consider ethical issues associated with behavioural therapies – use specific examples to illustrate the ethical issues; use comparative techniques to help you analyse how ethical the therapies are in relation to each other (eg, compare &      contrast the exposure therapies); discuss whether CBT is more ethical than behavioural therapies.

It is important to cite properly. If this sentence was taken from me it would be cited like this (Jones, 2020). In the previous sentence, you can see my last name in addition to the year in which it was stated. If you are having difficulty citing, please review the example posted on Canvas here: ResearchPaperExample.pdf actions Citations are very important to include because they add value to what you are discussing in your paper. I can’t express this enough but if you use any sort of numbers such as 1 out of every 10 Americans will suffer depression in their lifetime. That information must be cited because that is not common. If you wrote Depression was founded by William James (which is was not) in 1955. That information would need to be cited because that is common knowledge. If you wrote about a specific drug that is provided for individuals who are diagnosed with depression, that also must be cited. As I mentioned in class on numerous occasions, there are some things you will not have to cite but you should not be copying text verbatim (word for word) and putting it into your paper without a citation. In addition to citations, there are different ways to cite (in text) which can be found here: APAFormat.PNG Before you submit your paper please review the example of what your Research Paper should look like on Canvas: ResearchPaperExample.pdf actions You must choose a disorder and not an entirety of disorders. For instance, if you want to talk about Neurodevelopmental disorders, you must select a specific one from that section. In that case, I would select ADHD. You cannot just select Neurodevelopmental because it is quite broad of a topic. Please make sure you have a focus area. I have provided guidelines (since the beginning of the semester) for the paper which can be found here: ResearchPaperHandout.pdf actions If you have any questions on the above as you are working on your papers, please let me know.  For more information on Personality Disorder read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_disorder
