Juvenile Justice: Another Aspect

Hello Scholars!
I posted some great material in Instructor Insights. Moving past Corrections… let’s address Juvenile  Justice. Again – visit Instructor Insights for a great document to help better understand how it’s currently measured. Moving beyond that, let’s consider situations where juveniles ARE treated as adults for purposes of trial and conviction. This is a very controversial topic, scholars. It begs the question as to whether there are ANY actions that a juvenile could take to produce this type of treatment by our legal and criminal justice systems. Is there a limit to the proverbial “Pass” we give to juveniles, scholars? I think for very many, the answer is yes – but exactly what that limit is may vary, right? So… let’s focus on the more controversial point – advocates saying that juveniles ALWAYS should get a second chance – no matter the crime. In this particular area of advocacy… consider the direct publication(s) from an advocacy group. Do you agree? Disagree? Why or why not? Some of you may have experience with gangs – as just one example. If we give passes to whatever aged juveniles, does everyone see how criminal organizations may simply use them as tools to engage in crime – with limited exposure and consequence?

For the Module 4 SLP, think about a major organizational change that occurred in your workplace. Think carefully about the steps taken by management during the change process, and the organizational change processes and concepts that you read about in the background materials. Then write a two- to three-page paper addressing the following issues. Make sure to cite at least two of the required background readings in your paper:

  1. Describe the change that occurred in your workplace. Was the change successful? Was there a lot of employee resistance to this change?
  2. What steps and processes did management take to implement this change? Was it similar to Lewin’s three steps, Kotter’s eight steps, or the five steps used in action research?
  3. In retrospect, do you think the change process would have gone better if management used Lewin’s three steps, Kotter’s eight steps, or the five step approach of action research?

Carefully explain your reasoning for each of your three answers using specific examples from your personal experience and the concepts from the background materials.
