Assignment: Responding To a Community-Based Concern

Imagine you have been assigned to work with an individual in a work release program. Before you begin, your supervisor has requested that you prepare a case staffing to present to your colleagues in an upcoming meeting. A case staffing is a presentation designed to gain consultation on strategies with colleagues. In this presentation, you identify problems, propose solutions, and recommend service options.

Review the following scenario:

In 1985, Malcom Day broke into the home of Janice Longstreet; he was high on cocaine at the time, but he had been stalking Longstreet for months. He tied her up, drugged her, and killed her. Afterward, he was found and arrested. His trial was a local sensation because of the brutality of the crime. Everyone in the local area was aware of many of the details of the case through news and reports from the trial itself. After a two-week trial and 12 hours of deliberation, the jury declared him guilty of first-degree murder. The judge later sentenced him to 25 years to life with the possibility for parole.

Now Day is being released from prison into a work release program. He was a model prisoner and after a rocky start in prison, he began taking classes, participated in rehabilitation programs, and took therapy opportunities. However, the local community is well aware of his situation and is not comfortable with him doing a work release program in the area.

Create a 10 slides Microsoft PowerPoint presentation for your case staffing meeting. Include the following:

Question 1) Imagine the above case happened in the community where you currently reside. Analyze the community and identify any potential risk factors for recidivism.

Question 2) Describe the specific tasks the organization may complete to mitigate that risk.

Question 3) Identify a decision-making model that can be applied to encourage ethical practices when working with Malcolm Day.

Question 4) Describe how you will use the model when helping Day with reentry into the community.

Question 5) Propose a plan for how you will ethically prepare community members for offender reentry.
