Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated. Choose Your Client [WLOs: 3, 4] [CLOs: 2, 3, 4] Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the article, “Sentencing Advocates Enhance Reasoned Court Decisions,” then read the list of infamous murderers whose high profile crimes dominated headlines for many years. Choose one of these individuals to become your client for the remainder of the course. That is, this individual and case will be the topic of your final assignment in the course:In your online classroom, select the link “Killer Bios” for a list of these infamous murderers. In that link, you will find several Ashford University Library sources on each murderer. In addition, there are some starter links listed below under each name.Imagine that you have been retained by the client’s defense attorney as a death penalty mitigation expert. Your role in this capacity is to work as a sentencing advocate on behalf of your client (the defendant). In Week 5, you will prepare a comprehensive case study report. This report will contain an analysis of the psychological factors that may have contributed to the commission of the crimes in the chosen case study and how these psychological factors should be considered as a basis for a prison sentence less than the death penalty. For the purpose of this discussion, we are proceeding as if the client is still alive and has not yet been sentenced (though all of these cases have already been resolved). In your initial post of 300 words, please examine the following and address the questions below: Tell us which client you chose and why. That is, what was it about the case that interested you? Based upon your preliminary research on this case/client and your assigned textbook readings, what mental disorders might your client be suffering from that may have contributed to the crime? Describe the disorder including its signs and symptoms. Connect those that you believe apply to your client’s behavior. What does your textbook say about the likelihood that your client’s mental states contributed to the crime? Discuss whether psychopathy, insanity, or competence to stand trial are potential issues in your client’s case based upon your preliminary research of the case and your assigned textbook readings. Support your claims with examples from the required materials, other scholarly and/or credible sources, and properly cite any references. Guided Response: Review several of your peers’ initial posts and, in a minimum of 100 words each, respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7. As you read through your peers’ posts, please respond to at least two of your classmates who chose a different “client” than you chose. Be sure to provide constructive feedback, and ask follow-up questions to your peers regarding their client and case. That is, focus on what your classmates write about their clients’ biopsychosocial histories. Is this similar to your client’s history? Suggest at least one additional source to your classmates that may be helpful to them in investigating the relationship between the client’s history and the crime. Respond in a substantive manner with specific examples to extend their thinking. Support your claims with examples from the required materials and/or other scholarly or credible sources, and properly cite any references. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion forum. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7, and respond with robust dialogue to anyone who replies to your initial post.

Assignment 2 - Policing Mental Illness & Mental Illness in America’s Prisons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnOLvKEYIQI  (Policing Mental Illness) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPUsdxMBEOQ (Mental Illness in America’s Prisons) Choose one of the mentally ill people in the first video clip and describe the ways that you think the police officers who intervened in the life of this person responded to the situation in an effective and/or ineffective manner.  In the second video clip there is some discussion about deinstitutionalization. How has deinstitutionalization contributed to the incarceration rate of the mentally ill? What are the political aspects of this issue? Why do you think that we have more mentally ill people in prison than in hospitals?  Do you think that there is enough attention being given to the social problem of mental illness among those who are apprehended by the police and those who are behind bars? Why or why not? How do you propose that we might solve the social problem of the incarceration of the mentally ill?
