On April 27, 1983, Jane and Jim Jones were married. On July 4, 1983, the newlyweds received the happy news from their family doctor, Dr. Kagen that Jane was expecting their first child. The Joneses found an OBGYN named Dr. Kay to guide them through the pregnancy and delivery. Dr. Kay had been an OBGYN for 20 years and was then employed at San Angelo Medical Center in San Angelo, Texas along with three other OBGYNs.

The Joneses were very excited for their first baby. Jane followed all of Dr. Kay’s instructions, took her vitamins, read baby books and followed a regular pregnancy exercise routine. She and her husband never missed a doctor’s appointment. By all accounts, the pregnancy progressed perfectly. The Joneses learned that their child was going to be a girl and they decided to name her Emma.

On the evening of March 29, 1984, Jane began having contractions and Jim drove her to San Angelo Medical Center for the delivery. Upon arrival at the hospital, the Joneses were informed for the first time that Dr. Kay had gone on vacation and was not available to deliver their child. The Joneses were worried, but Jane was progressing very quickly and would have the baby soon. The attending nurses set Jane up in a labor and delivery room and made several efforts to contact Dr. Kay, but were unsuccessful. It was typical hospital policy at that time for the OBGYN to perform deliveries with the assistance of the attending nurses, but none of the nurses had ever performed a delivery alone.

The nurses called the floor’s charge nurse, who informed them that she had called another OBGYN and they needed wait until he arrived, and instruct the patient not to push.

Even though the nurses had never performed a delivery, they felt as though they could perform this one by themselves, and so they ignored their supervisor and proceeded with the delivery. Everything was going smoothly until she became stuck in the birth canal. The nurses, unsure of how to proceed, determined that the use of forceps was necessary in order to complete the delivery. Emma was delivered successfully, but suffered facial nerve damage and cerebral palsy as a result of the force applied to her head and face by the forceps during delivery.

Jim and Jane are very upset and are unsure how they will pay for Emma’s probably lifelong medical bills. They want to bring negligence actions against Dr. Kay, the nursing staff and San Angelo Medical Center.

Please discuss any negligence actions you feel the Joneses may be able to bring in this case and whether or not you think they will be successful.

Next, please discuss any medical responsibilities that existed here and whether or not they were appropriately followed. If you find that a medical responsibility was not followed, please indicate if the failure to follow the responsibility led to a medical error, and if so, what should have been done differently to prevent that error.

Create your PowerPoint using the following guidelines:

Make four points per slide, limiting the content to about five words per point.

Provide a title slide and a final slide for your references. Do not count these two slides in the 10 required for the PowerPoint content.
Include a minimum of five scholarly resources on your references slide, listing them in APA format. You may cite text and authors from the suggested resources as supporting resources as well as any additional reputable resources you find on your own.

Overview
The goal of this assignment is to develop proficiency in finding and analyzing articles that examine a construct in the academic literature. You’ll get practice reading and interpreting articles as well as putting multiple articles together to form a cohesive picture of the research in an area. This is a skill that you will use repeatedly throughout this program.

Task
The entire class will be assigned the same construct. Search the literature for five to 10 academic journal articles that examine that construct. Choose articles in journals from the Fox School Journal List. Use the Temple Library Site and/or Google Scholar for your search. Consider a mix of well-cited and recent articles.

Organize your analysis into a four-page, single-spaced writeup with this structure:

Overview of the construct (1 page): Describe how the construct is conceptualized and defined in the literature. There should be a high-level, but thoughtful, summary of the material in the rest of the writeup (see below). Identify the important labels and definitions used in the literature. There can be multiple names or labels for the same idea. Remember, a construct is represented as a variable and then measured in a concrete way.

Summary Tables of Antecedents, Consequences, and Measures (1 page): Provide three tables summarizing antecedents, consequences, and measures related to the construct. Each table should have three columns in each table: the name, its definition, and the references where it appears (you might have multiple references for a particular item). For example, consider the construct of customer satisfaction. You first have a table of antecedents:

Antecedents of customer satisfaction
Name: Usefulness
Definition: The extent to which the system facilitates completing its task
References: Knope et al. (2010) Wyatt et al. (2012)

Then a table of consequences:
Consequences of customer satisfaction
Name: Financial performance
Definition: The economic performance of the firm (i.e., stock price)
References: Meagle and Perkins (2016)

And finally a table of measures:

Measures of customer satisfaction
Name: Intention to purchase again
Measurement: Three questions on a five-point likert scale
Data Source: Survey of customers through email
References: Swanson et al. (2013)

Note that the measures table outlines both the way the construct is assessed (i.e., measurement) and the method (i.e., data source). The measurement and data source are related, but they are not the same. To identify these, think about the secondary data or questionnaire items used in the papers.

Keep in mind there are also measures for antecedents and the consequences. After all, those are just constructs themselves, represented as variables. However, for this assignment you should focus only on the measures of the main construct. Once you learn how to do that, you will also know how to find the measures of antecedents and consequences.

Summary Figure (1 page): Create a simple diagram that summarizes the first two sections. Place your construct in the middle, with antecedents on the left and consequences on the right. It should be clear and concise; the specific layout is up to you. (Don’t worry if it’s not perfect; we’re covering drawing conceptual models in Residency 2 but I want you to give it a try).

References (1 page): Include a complete reference list in APA style.

The module name is: On Crimes and Punishment – An Introduction to Criminological Theory

My essay question is, ‘Does classicism or positivism best explain why Justin Rollins committed crime?’.

It is a 2,000 word essay (excluding reference list)
The essay should be done on a word document.
For this essay, Havard referencing must be used.

Note: Students will be penalised if they go 10% over or under the word limit of their assessment. The penalty will be 1% for every 100 words (up to a maximum of 10%).

Read Justin Rollins Book, The Lost Boyz – Justin Rollins to better understand the essay question and I must reference from that same book a lot times (maybe). Research about Justin Rollins life and past to better understand and know whether classicism (nurture/freewill) or positivism (nature/determinism) best explains why he committed crime.

knowledge and depth of understanding of the core schools of criminological thought needs to be evident within the essay, detailed description of key contributors and arguments with evidence of evaluation needs to be evident in the essay as well as evidence of reading appropriate supplementary sources, evidence of relevant application of theory to explain Justin Rollins’ offending behaviour needs to be evident within the essay aswel as the essay being logically structured, using correct grammar and spelling and accurate referencing and bibliography.
