Administrative law touches many aspects of our everyday lives, and a single event can create repercussions in human rights, employment, health, equity, and privacy law that administrative tribunals may be involved in addressing. In this assignment, you will be looking at a single event through the lenses of various actors in the justice field.You will first create a scenario with potential legal and administrative/regulatory repercussions based on examples provided during the course and in the readings. This should be approximately 200 words. You will then identify four potential avenues (courts, agencies, tribunals, commissions, or other bodies) for resolution or redress of any aspect of your scenario. For each of these bodies, you will identify the jurisdiction of the body, who/what it oversees, the legislation that gives this body its authority, and possible outcomes or remedies. Apply this information directly to the scenario you created in the first part of the assignment. The second part of the assignment should be approximately 1000 words. Thus, a typical total assignment is usually between 1000 -1500 words (not including title page or references). The most recent APA formatting must be followed.Rubric:Effective scenario w 4 relevant agencies/tribunalsall 4 agencies are appropriate for the scenarioCorrectly identified jurisdiction, authority and the most likely remediesTechnical: APA formatting, grammar, word countR

Imagine yourself as the director of a large Community Supervision and Corrections Department (probation) and you have decided that your department’s position is to NOT arm the community supervision officers. This does not mean that they cannot carry mace as a tool for self-defense, but no one will carry handguns on their person and none will not be permitted to be used in conjunction with their job.In 3 to 5 pages utilizing proper APA format (an example is provided for your reference and use), not including the cover sheet and reference page, you are to strongly present your position to your department personnel. Your paper must reflect your conviction with all the reasons not to arm your probation officers. Your position is to include, but not limited to the following:Liability to the department and to the individual officer involved in a shooting.Reduces required training and continuous annual weapons training.Eliminates the oversight of all logistical matters that deal with weapons qualification and continuous weapons training.Eliminates weapons safety issues in the office.No longer requires the ability to have in place the requirement to provide psychological counseling that would be required if an officer did shoot and kill a probationer.There are other issues that you will probably think of or you can do the research and locate more reasons that support why there are numerous agencies, across the country, that do not arm their officers. Your paper is to adamantly and fully support your position with as many reasons as you can justify.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO USE UK LAWTom loses control of his lorry as he turns a corner. He narrowly misses a cyclist, Frida, and ploughs on to the pavement and into a shop. Two shoppers, Benni and Agnetha, are hit by the lorry and rushed to hospital. Bob, a customer in the shop, immediately takes pictures of the accident and those involved, and then posts them on his Facebook page. Benni’s husband, Ashok, sees the pictures and rushes to the hospital where she has been taken. Ashok sees Benni, covered in blood, before she is taken to the operating theatre. Agnetha is permanently disabled following the accident and her mother Suri becomes her carer. Ashok and Frida suffer mental illnesses. Suri is depressed and some months later suffers a mental breakdown. How far does Tom owe a duty of care in tort for the harm he has caused?

Word limit: 1500 words.Focus of the assignmentTMA 03 is intended to particularly assess your skills of presenting to a non-psychologist audience. For this assignment you have been asked to provide a brief (15-minute, 8–14-slide) presentation to some film-makers who are looking to make a documentary about this topic covered in Block 3 of the module. Therefore, you need to create a set of presentation slides which look professional, and which cover the relevant content in a way that would be understandable to people who do not already know anything about psychology in general, or this area in particular. The idea is to draw on your psychological knowledge of either a) paraphilias or b) sex workers, and communicate this concisely in layperson terms to a general audience.For this assignment you need to focus on: paraphilia. The task is the same: to produce a presentation on what counselling and forensic psychology can tell us about this area.For this TMA, it would be appropriate to draw on additional material beyond that contained within the module website and textbooks; in particular, relevant research that you have accessed using the Open University Library.This TMA asks you to make a presentation. This means creating a series of visual slides to communicate information to an audience. The maximum word limit for this is 1500 words, but remember that you may well not want to use that many words in a presentation, given that it is about presenting clearly and succinctly. The 1500 words is a limit not an ideal. You should focus more on thinking about what an appropriate amount of information and number of slides would be for a 15-minute (8–14-slide) presentation. See Week 13, Section 6, Activity 7, ‘Producing effective presentations’ for more on this, and on the appropriate number and type of slides to present the information.You are not required to record your presentation or to provide the notes that you would use for presenting it to an audience (i.e. using the ‘notes’ section on PowerPoint or similar). We’re just looking for the slides.There is no need to add animations or sounds, unless you want to do that. You should include visual content such as Google Images, graphs, charts and smart art, which are relevant to the slide’s content in order to make your slides visually appealing. There is no need to reference where these images come from for this TMA, although you should provide references for copyrighted images if you were ever publishing a presentation in the public domain.In the presentation you will need to cover the relevant information you learned about either paraphilias or sex workers, as discussed in Block 3 of the module materials. You should also draw on any other relevant materials from across the module, as well as other relevant material that you have located in your independent study time.In-text references should be included on the slides (in brackets as usual for TMAs). A list of full references should be included on the final slide of the presentation in a readable manner.in your presentation you will want to cover the key points you think the film-makers need to include in a documentary on this subject which is informed by psychological work in the area. This might well include:this topic in relation to mental health and crime (e.g. the impact of being a sex worker on mental health, how sex workers should be treated, or whether ‘paraphilic’ behaviours are really pathological and/or criminal)what psychology can tell us about this area (e.g., the psychological impact of engaging in sex work on a person, or the extent and meaning of ‘paraphilic’ behaviours)any contested areas, or areas of dilemma and debate in this area – this will help you to demonstrate criticality (e.g., whether ‘paraphilic disorders’ should even be included in the DSM, or whether sex work should be legalised)the importance of listening to relevant groups (e.g., sex workers, their family and network, or people who practise BDSM) themselves in psychological research and media representationshow the treatment of relevant groups could be improved in counselling and forensic contexts (e.g., sex workers’ treatment, as well as their family/children’s, or people with ‘paraphilic’ desires and people in relationship with them).It is up to you how you structure your presentation (see Section 4 of the Study skills booklet for assistance). You can come up with your own title for your presentation.You will find it helpful to review Week 13, Section 6, Activity 7, ‘Producing effective presentations’. This activity should have helped you to learn how to present psychological material in Powerpoint – or similar – presentation software. Some of the specific suggestions made here will be useful for this TMA because it takes you through how to prepare for this assessment.The ‘paraphilias’In terms of how counselling and forensic psychology can inform knowledge about the ‘paraphilias’, for counselling you could draw on the material from the book and online about the history of the pathologisation of certain sexual activities or desires, and how that relates to the ways in which some sexual activities or desires are still pathologised today. You could explore what affirmative therapeutic practice might look like in these areas. In terms of forensic psychology, you could discuss the material around the criminalisation of certain sexual practices – past and present. Also you may want to broaden out the topic to consider consent more broadly and how this is relevant to which sexual practices we might want to criminalise – or pathologise – and which we may not.The resources you might draw upon for this TMA are listed below in the order in which they appear in the module, but this should not be taken as a suggestion for how to organise your answer.If you choose to focus on the ‘paraphilias’ you will need to draw on the material from Week 14. Particularly useful will be:Section 2, which deals with attitudes towards ‘paraphilias’Section 3, which deals with the historical way in which LGB people have been regarded as ‘paraphilic’ in societySection 4 and Section 5, which deal with BDSM and the impact of pathologisation as ‘paraphilic’Book Chapter 11, which also covers these issues, and more depth about the history of the ‘paraphilias’ and the impact of being pathologised as ‘paraphilic’.Feel free also to draw upon material from anywhere else in the module that is relevant to your answer. For example, you might well find some of the material from Block 1 to be relevant in terms of diagnosis (Week 4) or media representations (Week 3), or the end of Week 15 to be useful to both topics in terms of its coverage of consent.You should also consider including additional relevant material that you have found in your independent study time, such as research findings that were not covered, or only briefly covered, in the module materials.Please note: The submitted file needs to be in .ppt, .pptx or .pdf format. If you use another software other than PowerPoint to produce your presentation then you need to make sure you use something that is compatible with .ppt or that the presentation can be saved in .pdf format (files can be saved in .pdf, .ppt or .pptx format). You can use free presentation software (e.g. Open Office which is a free version of Microsoft office) as long as the file can be save as .pdf, .ppt or .pptx.ChecklistHave I: Yes No. Where can I look for guidance?Made sure I understand the question?
