Discussion 1: "Corrections and Psychology"

Please respond to the following:

• Ascertain the importance of each of the four basic categories of risk management activities(monitoring, treatment, supervision, and victim safety planning) discussed in Chapter 10 of the textbook. Next, select two of these categories, and provide one real-world example of a forensic psychologist or criminal justice system professional effectively carrying out an activity from that category. Be specific and detailed in your real-world example.

Discussion 2: "Gang Activity in Urban Areas"

• We examined the gang presence in larger cities. Using your textbook and this week's reading, compare and contrast three reasons why some gang problems become increasingly more serious in some cities while in others they do not. Next based on where you currently live, research the nearest large city near you and its various gang problems then provide a 200 to 500 word response describing how your city compares and contrasts to one other city of similar demographics.

• Read the case study titled, "Drugs, Guns, and Disadvantaged Youths: Co-Occurring Behavior and the Code of the Street". Based on this case study, name three distinctive features of gangs within cities then propose two features you believe are most relevant when depicting gangs in cities. Justify your response.
