week 3 psy 6506 create a presentation for forensic implementation assignment

As you begin to think about deviance, consider deviance in the form

of sexual offending. Sexual offenders are often locked away for life and

some are committed to indefinite incarceration as sexually dangerous

persons. But can sex offenders be rehabilitated and is there efficacy in

the treatment that is provided for them?

Assignment
This week, you will take an in-depth look at the treatment of a special population. For this assignment, prepare a presentation about an evidenced-based practice, which includes treatment protocols that have been researched and found to be efficacious for a particular group of offenders. The audience for this presentation will be mental health practitioners and administrators. You may use the special population you have selected for your Signature Assignment, or you may pick another population of interest for this week’s assignment.

Specifically, your presentation must include the following:

• Information about offender group to be helped.
• Overview of evidence-based practice treatment program.
• Explanation of basic skills or knowledge necessary to implement this program effectively.
• Discussion of research related to the efficacy of the program.
• Any issues related to utilizing this treatment program in a forensic setting.

Support your presentation with at least two sources from peer-reviewed journal articles.

Length: 7-10 slides (with a separate reference slide)

Notes Length: 100–150 words for each slide

Create a professional presentation that incorporates appropriate animations, transitions, graphics, and speaker notes. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists. Be sure to add a reference slide or transition for all the references you use. Be sure to add your last name in the footer of each slide.

For a basic overview about how to create a PowerPoint presentation, see the PowerPoint Tutorial in the week’s resources.

Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your paper should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.
