Lawrence Neuman and their excellent textbook entitled “Criminal Justice and Criminology Research Methods” (2012, 2nd ed.).  This seminar focuses on a mainstay of criminal justice research - quantitative data analysis. We all work with numbers. If you want to work with research in your local departments/agencies your first research is bound to be quantitative. This seminar will include introductions to such concepts as scattergrams, pie charts, correlations, multiple regressions, and tables of number. These are largely visual so you are going to have to go look these up in order to really appreciate the content here about them.  00:06:00Public Safety TodaynoResearch,criminal justice,quantitative,scattergram,pie chartThis seminar focuses on a mainstay of criminal justice research - quantitative data analysis.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/22/corrections-counseling--behavioral-management-in-community-correctionsTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/22/corrections-counseling--behavioral-management-in-community-corrections/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/22/corrections-counseling--behavioral-management-in-community-correctionsTue, 22 Dec 2015 15:00:00 GMTCorrections Counseling - Behavioral Management in Community CorrectionsBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session will be reviewing the effectiveness of community-based supervision. Today we have drug courts, gun courts, domestic violence courts, mental health courts, boot camps, intensive supervision, residential treatment, and so on. We really do not have enough research on how effective the supervision is of offenders under different programs. Using Albert Robert's work entitled "Correctional Counseling and Treatment" we will take a look at existing literature on programs and supervision, we will identify different theoretical frameworks for new models for offender supervision, and describe a model of behavioral management for offenderscorrectional counseling and rehabilitation within the prison system that uses engagement, early change, sustained change, and reinforcers over a period of 18 months to give us the end result we hope will be realized - an offender who will not reoffend.  01:58:00Public Safety Todaynodrug courts,gun courts,domestic violence courts,menatl health courts,boot campThis show discusses improved models for dealing with offenders in the communityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/17/homeland-security--responding-to-human-made-and-natural-disastersTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/17/homeland-security--responding-to-human-made-and-natural-disasters/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/17/homeland-security--responding-to-human-made-and-natural-disastersThu, 17 Dec 2015 15:00:00 GMTHomeland Security - Responding to Human-made and Natural DisastersBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2-hour session will review the work of Mark Sauter and James Carafano and their excellent textbook entitled “Homeland Security” (2012, 2nd ed.). This seminar addresses what emergency managers do to protect the business community. Many people believe Emergency Management is only concerned with civilian populations but the resiliency of the business sector is a huge component and need area in ensuring a population can get back to their normal lives as soon as possible. The business environment is changing and there are huge opportunities available for those who create and maintain emergency plans for them because they have to plan for the worst. There are concerns about supply chain security, physical security, information security, and so forth. If you are in business or you know someone who is this may be a seminar you don’t want to miss. 01:50:00Public Safety TodaynoHomeland Security,DHS,emergency management,business sector,resiliencyThere are individual, family, and community antiterrorism measures you need to know abouthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/16/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-nonreactive-researchTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/16/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-nonreactive-research/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/16/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-nonreactive-researchWed, 16 Dec 2015 15:00:00 GMTResearch Methods in Criminal Justice – Nonreactive ResearchBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session will review the work of Dr. Peter Kraska and Dr. W. Lawrence Neuman and their excellent textbook entitled “Criminal Justice and Criminology Research Methods” (2012, 2nd ed.).  The subject matter for this seminar is Nonreactive Research and this type of research is widely used in crime and justice studies. The main way we do this research is by taking advantage of the huge amounts of data, in many forms, we continue accumulating. The authors of our reference text speak of federal crime statistics (UCR, NCVS), the, "General Social Survey, police and prison records, video-surveillance data, existing self-report data, incarceration trends, drug use statistics, documents concerning prisoners released from death row, and court proceedings documents" as well as, "media articles, Web sites, television shows, roadside memorials, hospital records, census reports, and economic data " (Kraska & Neuman, 2012, p. 206). This seminar explains how to use all the data which your department already has collected for you.  01:58:00Public Safety Todaynocriminal justice,Research,nonreactive research,UCR,NCVSThis seminar explains how to use all the data which your department already has collected for you.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/15/corrections-counseling--sex-offenders-assessment-and-treatmentTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/15/corrections-counseling--sex-offenders-assessment-and-treatment/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/15/corrections-counseling--sex-offenders-assessment-and-treatmentTue, 15 Dec 2015 15:00:00 GMTCorrections Counseling - Sex Offenders: Assessment and TreatmentThis seminar is brought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute with a website address of www.tapsti.org. This 2-hour session includes the work of Albert Roberts and his textbook entitled “Correctional Counseling and Treatment: Evidence-Based Perspectives”, a Prentice Hall text, (2008) by Pearson Education. My name is Mike Pozesny and I am your host during this seminar. This seminar is dedicated to my students, to the men and women of public safety, and to the juvenile justice counselors, probation officers, administrators and all the rest who try to inform us how to be better peacekeepers. Listeners can call in Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10:AM – 12:00AM by calling 646-668-2462 and be a part of the show where topics include a wide range of criminal justice subjects. You can find a show schedule and links on www.tapsti.org.  The UCRs collect sex offense data on forcible rape and sex offences. The Sex offenses include sodomy, statutory rape, and moral offences. The NCVS collects sexual offense data on rape and sexual assault. The National Incidence-Based Reporting System divides sex crimes data into six major categories: 1) forcible rape, 2) statutory rape, 3) forcible sodomy, 4) forcible fondling, 5) incest, and 6) sexual assault. States have some of their own statutes which may be different and each of these areas has sub-areas as well. Today we have a social and criminal challenge in that a wider range of sexual acts are being categorized as crimes and we need to determine if this is the best way for us to utilize the criminal justice system to help with social regulation or if we don't need to approach sex in a different way.  01:31:00Public Safety Todaynosex offenders,mental health,prison,jail,correctionsThis show focuses on Sex Offenders, their assessment, their treatment, and challenges we face.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/10/homeland-security--domestic-counterterrorismTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/10/homeland-security--domestic-counterterrorism/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/10/homeland-security--domestic-counterterrorismThu, 10 Dec 2015 15:00:00 GMTHomeland Security - Domestic CounterterrorismBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2-hour session will review the work of Mark Sauter and James Carafano and their excellent textbook entitled “Homeland Security” (2012, 2nd ed.). This seminar speaks to investigating, preventing, and responding in the United States to terrorist plots. This probably covers some of the most concerning material to people in this country because we trust the military to take care of foreign enemies we like to think will be contained outside our own borders (as long as we allow the military leaders to do their jobs) but what happens when our own people turn on us? Where and what are the front lines of domestic terrorism? Whose jurisdiction and operational control does it belong to? What are the issues and what are the components of counterterrorism operations? These questions and more are answered in this seminar.  01:57:00Public Safety TodaynoHomeland Security,domestic terrorist,terrorist plot,enemies,counterterrorismThis covers some of the most concerning material to people in this country - counterterrorismhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/09/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-experimental-and-quasi-experimentalTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/09/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-experimental-and-quasi-experimental/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/09/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-experimental-and-quasi-experimentalWed, 09 Dec 2015 15:00:00 GMTResearch Methods in Criminal Justice – Experimental and Quasi-ExperimentalBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session will review the work of Dr. Peter Kraska and Dr. W. Lawrence Neuman and their excellent textbook entitled “Criminal Justice and Criminology Research Methods” (2012, 2nd ed.).  Experiments are common and credible for developing and testing theory. Crime and justice research is used to make justice "smarter" these days and more effective so we better know how to solve today's problems. We call this "applied research". Experiments help to both evaluate criminal justice and crime control practices as well as develop causal laws. This seminar bridges from talking about experiments and their usefulness to a discussion about Kraska and Neuman's "Eight Principles for Assessing Feasibility of Crime and Justice Experiments" so you can better figure out if you are prepared enough to do any research at all given your circumstances and the tools available.  01:57:00Public Safety Todaynotapsti,justice,Research,criminal justice,ExperimentalThis seminar focuses on research in criminal justice using Experimental Research Designhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/08/corrections-counseling--the-mentally-ill-offenderTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/08/corrections-counseling--the-mentally-ill-offender/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/08/corrections-counseling--the-mentally-ill-offenderTue, 08 Dec 2015 15:00:00 GMTCorrections Counseling - The Mentally Ill OffenderBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session will be reviewing how jails and prisons across this country have become the nation's mental health services providers. This refers to the "criminalization of the mentally ill" due to a growing trend where it is found by local government to be expedient and cost-effective to process those with serious mental disorders through the criminal justice system instead of community-based treatment or psychiatric hospitals. There are at least 300% more mentally ill people in our jails and prisons than in mental health hospitals. When you examine where they are you will find many are in urban jails (Human Rights Watch, 2003). Using Albert Robert's work entitled "Correctional Counseling and Treatment" as the core of this discussion we will examine the mentally ill offender, their treatment, and the prison group counseling most often used.  01:59:00Public Safety Todaynomental health,inmates,prisons,jails,mentally illThis show will review the mentally ill in prisons and prison counselinghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/03/homeland-security--roles-responsibilities-and-jurisdictionsTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/03/homeland-security--roles-responsibilities-and-jurisdictions/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/03/homeland-security--roles-responsibilities-and-jurisdictionsThu, 03 Dec 2015 15:00:00 GMTHomeland Security - Roles, Responsibilities, and JurisdictionsBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2-hour session will review the work of Mark Sauter and James Carafano and their excellent textbook entitled “Homeland Security” (2012, 2nd ed.). This seminar addresses the “New Normal” within Homeland Security, what our concept is, and then we trickle down from the federal government through the maze of agencies to the local level. Once that understanding has been reached, we examine theories of security to fully grasp the mission at hand. We take a look at strategy, assess what our National Strategy is, and then take a look at some analytical tools to help us better understand how we are living up to our expectations. 01:57:00Public Safety TodaynoHomeland Security,national defense,national strategy,national securityThis seminar addresses the “New Normal” within Homeland Security and what it is todayhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/02/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-quantitative-and-qualitative-designTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/02/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-quantitative-and-qualitative-design/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/12/02/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-quantitative-and-qualitative-designWed, 02 Dec 2015 15:00:00 GMTResearch Methods in Criminal Justice – Quantitative and Qualitative DesignBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session will review the work of Dr. Peter Kraska and Dr. W.

Sampling variables discussed include: Probability Sampling, Random Sampling, Systematic Sampling, Stratified Sampling, Cluster Sampling, Sampling Size, Nonprobability Sampling, Haphazard Sampling, Purposive Sampling, Snowball Sampling, Sequential Sampling, and Theoretical Sampling. Also discussed are hidden populations and mixed sampling approaches. Then we head into Qualitative and Quantitative research and the differences between hard and soft data. Reliability, validity, bricolage, interpretation (first, second, and third-order), and document analysis follow.

Incarcerated juvenile offenders have a 400% greater risk than the adolescents who are free in our local communities. This show describes the extent of the problem and we discuss protocols for intervening. We introduce crisis intervention and we use Roberts’ seven-stage crisis assessment and crisis intervention model from his work entitled "Correctional Counseling and Treatment".  With any time remaining we will take a look at juvenile justice facilities and different programs intended to facilitate juvenile suicide reduction.  00:08:00Public Safety TodaynoJuvenile Justice,juvenile,prison,detention,suicideThis 2 hour session will address juvenile suicide within juvenile detention and correctional facilities.

Contemporary homeland security includes a huge array of challenges as our society becomes more technologically oriented and, as a result, more susceptible to targeting. We are dependent on stability in a very unstable world and, for the first real time, a very small group of people can wreak tremendous havoc. This seminar focuses on the change from national security being one that assumed the "homeland" was safe from its own people and the dangers were from outside our own borders to the present day where there can be no assumptions made where the next attack will come from.  01:59:00Public Safety TodaynoDepartment of Homeland Security,homeland,national security,DHS,TAPSTIThis seminar focuses on the change in national security risk assessment and readiness.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/27/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-ethical-considerationsTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/27/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-ethical-considerations/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/27/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-ethical-considerationsFri, 27 Nov 2015 14:00:00 GMTResearch Methods in Criminal Justice – Ethical ConsiderationsBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session will review the work of Dr. Peter Kraska and Dr. W. Lawrence Neuman and their excellent textbook entitled “Criminal Justice and Criminology Research Methods” (2012, 2nd ed.).  Thinking about your application of ethics in your research project is critical to your completing enough preparation to be successful. Ethical conduct ensures that the "knowledge–power dynamic" which we understand so well in public safety generates knowledge only from credible research. As a criminal justice researcher you have a professional and ethical obligation to create new knowledge that is useful, accurate, credible, and that can be generalized across a wide population. The purpose of this seminar is to ensure you understand and appreciate the ethical implications of your research as well as the potential adverse impacts that research can have on others.  02:00:00Public Safety Todaynoethics,TAPSTI,public safety,research,kraskaThis segment reviews the ethics of criminal justice and sample cases as to why we need such.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/24/corrections-counseling--assessment-and-treatment-of-juvenile-offendersTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/24/corrections-counseling--assessment-and-treatment-of-juvenile-offenders/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/24/corrections-counseling--assessment-and-treatment-of-juvenile-offendersTue, 24 Nov 2015 14:00:00 GMTCorrections Counseling - Assessment and Treatment of Juvenile OffendersBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session will review juvenile correctional counseling and rehabilitation within the prison system. From 1991 through to 2003, the number of juveniles housed in residential programs increased by 27 percent such that there were 96,000 juveniles across the country who were housed in residential programs (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006). Many of these had mental health issues including major depression, anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. The juvenile justice system in this country is faced with the same challenges as our adult correctional system in serving youth who may have one or more mental health disorders.  Using Albert Robert's work entitled "Correctional Counseling and Treatment" we will take a look at the assessment, classification, and treatment of juvenile offenders, risks of reoffending, and family inteventions.   01:59:00Public Safety TodaynoTAPSTI,American,Public Safety,Training,CorrectionsJuvenile Corrections is often misunderstood so this segment helps to clarify the assessment process.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/19/homeland-security--intelligence-and-citizen-protection-guidelinesTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/19/homeland-security--intelligence-and-citizen-protection-guidelines/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/19/homeland-security--intelligence-and-citizen-protection-guidelinesThu, 19 Nov 2015 14:00:00 GMTHomeland Security - Intelligence and Citizen Protection GuidelinesBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2-hour session will review the work of Mark Sauter and James Carafano and their excellent textbook entitled “Homeland Security” (2012, 2nd ed.). This seminar introduces the listener to Homeland Security intelligence processes, methods, structure, and resources. In this seminar we will discuss Intelligence Collection and what counterintelligence is and does. To truly appreciate the role intelligence management has in our society we discuss intelligence organizations, missions, activities, and how state and local law enforcement tie into this whole complicated array of intelligence gathering and management to keep us safe. The latter part of the discussion is based on the new Departmnet of the Army publication "Protection of Civilians ATP 3-07.6" (29 October 2015 Release) and a discussion of how this could be modified to apply, in large part, to professional policing operations here in the United States. 01:44:00Public Safety TodaynoHomeland Security,Intelligence Cycle,intelligence management,mission,local law enforcementWe discuss the role intelligence management has in organizations, missions, and activities.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/18/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-theory-and-philosophyTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/18/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-theory-and-philosophy/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/18/research-methods-in-criminal-justice-theory-and-philosophyWed, 18 Nov 2015 14:00:00 GMTResearch Methods in Criminal Justice – Theory and PhilosophyBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session will review the work of Dr. Peter Kraska and Dr. W. Lawrence Neuman in their excellent textbook entitled “Criminal Justice and Criminology Research Methods” (2012, 2nd ed.).  This first seminar helps answer some basic questions about knowledge, how it is constructed and what it has to do with criminal justice studies. We have questions we ask every day, departments across the country need research done, but who is to say what research needs to be done and how it is to be done to satisfy the needs of that Chief, Warden, Regional Administrator, or other agency manager who needs to make serious and accurate decisions based on your work? This seminar introduces the concepts of epistemology, positivist social science, interpretive social science, and critical social science. Then we go into the parts of a theory and variables in research before expanding to the development of a theory.  The latter half of the seminar reviews Grounded Theory, Temporal Order, Association, Types of Variables, etc. and then we finish up with Hypothesis and errors in reasoning.  01:59:00Public Safety Todaynoknowledge,criminal justice,Research,epistemology,positivist social scienceThis is a great introductory seminar on criminal justice research and design.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/17/corrections-counseling--overview-and-interview-with-an-ex-offenderTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/17/corrections-counseling--overview-and-interview-with-an-ex-offender/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2015/11/17/corrections-counseling--overview-and-interview-with-an-ex-offenderTue, 17 Nov 2015 14:00:00 GMTCorrections Counseling - Overview and Interview with an Ex-OffenderBrought to you by The American Public Safety Training Institute (TAPSTI) www.tapsti.org, this 2 hour session reviews correctional counseling and rehabilitation within the prison system. Correctional counseling is intended to transform a convicted felon, to rehabilitate them, into a responsible and productive member of our society. Those within correctional counseling understand the focus on the profession is on changing individual behavior and this often requires a complex mix of counseling, vocational training, social coaching, and academic enhancement. This session includes the findings of a nationwide survey on state correctional counseling and treatment. Using Albert Robert's work entitled "Correctional Counseling and Treatment" we will take a look at how the staffing patterns across the country, the medical, the mental health, the academic and the vocational training needs of offenders are being handled over twenty different state departments of corrections (DOCs).  "John" joins us as an ex-offender who explains how he got into the prison system, what he did, what counseling did for him, and what his life has been like since his release after 6 1/2 years.  02:00:00Public Safety TodaynoTAPSTI,Public Safety,Training,corrections,counselingAn examination of correctional counseling and an overview of twenty DOCs.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/31/crisis-intervention--disasters-and-emergency-managementTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/31/crisis-intervention--disasters-and-emergency-management/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/31/crisis-intervention--disasters-and-emergency-managementFri, 31 Jan 2014 13:00:00 GMTCrisis Intervention - Disasters and Emergency ManagementThe world is full of dynamically changing cultures. Events such as the September 11, 2001 bombings, the attack on the Pentagon, and the crashed Pennsylvania airliner produced grief across the nation. The actions following 9/11 also produced unprecedented growth in federal, state, and local oversight of activities which had before been the province of fairly ordinary people. The passage of the Homeland Security Act, and invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq under the guise of "terrorism", have made practically every American feel as though they are themselves at war.

Only 12% of all hostage incidents involve a perpetrator who is barricaded and has hostages. Most involve barricade situations, they occur in the home of the perpetrator, they are unplanned, and they involve males who are involved in domestic disputes.  Additionally, if you teach school, are a counselor, a mental health worker, or even a medical staff member you have a greater chance of being a hostage than others. Roughly 52% of all hostage takings are performed by the emotionally disturbed who are often in these settings. Also, workplace violence is increasing and it is growing more likely crisis interventionists will be involved in helping reconcile these operations. If you really look at crisis intervention you find it is at the heart of hostage negotiation. Your trainer, Mike Pozesny, was trained by his state in Hostage Negotiation and admits crisis intervention was not a part of his training. Still, hostage negotiation is also called “crisis bargaining,” because there is a "give and take" where one person is attempting to convince another person to comply with their direction. In Crisis Negotiation all the elements of a crisis exist: disequilibrium, stress, poor cognition, heightened emotionality, and the trauma that occurs after event resolution.  This is a public affairs presentation of the American Public Safety Training Institute located at: www.tapsti.org 02:00:00Public Safety Todaynocolleges,criminal records,criminal justice,law school,criminal justice jobsHostage negotiation is included in this Crisis Intervention series because there is a remarkable amount of crisis negotiation which goes on.

Prepare yourselves for the schools of today and the educational warehouses of tomorrow. Welcome to the violence-proofed school building of the 21st century. We avoid landscaping because it gives a tactical advantage to those attacking the school. We ensure we have extra police patrols around the perimeter to detect anyone leaving without authorization as well as entering without permission. We use high-impact security lighting to flood-light the entire exterior of the school and a 10-foot chain-link security fence. Students come to school in video-equipped buses with two-way radios with speed-dials for 911 and GPS tracking for rapid tactical deployment. Students who drive are provided a 10-foot chain-link fence with razor wire patrolled by law enforcement with a zero-tolerance policy toward all weapons and augmented by random vehicle checks. A security guard checks every human being coming into the school regardless of age, position, or status. There are reinforced concrete dividers separating the school from the parking lot doubling to block drive-by shootings or school bombing attempts. The students have embedded GPS chips within them as well as ID cards attached to their dress above their left breast pockets for quick visual ID. CCTV's record all visual intelligence information throughout the school and are constantly monitored by an Officer within the school to coordinate Quick Response teams.  This is a public affairs presentation of The American Public Safety Training Institute located at: www.tapsti.org 01:59:00Public Safety Todaynocolleges,criminal records,criminal justice,law school,criminal justice jobsThe shameful history of murderous violence in our schools has become an all too common occurrence.

We must realize, in our push to "decriminalize" and "criminalize" drugs in order to save state government dollars and irresponsibly garner election year votes that the real costs far exceed what is only involved in the acquisition of drugs. We must factor in drug-related medical care, lost productivity, murders, destroyed families, insurance costs, suicides, property crimes, and law enforcement costs. The costs to this nation in substance abuse problems, then, are huge and in part due to the consumption-based society in which we live and which is not sustainable in the near future. We must change our social organization to relieve people of such a pronounced need to self-medicate. We must reengineer this drug-based social remedy through a medical model and must restructure our economy into a sustainment-based model. The most abused substance in this country is alcohol and that is because it is largely legal. While legalizing drugs is politically popular, the erosion of our social fabric and our reliance on outmoded public management methods will undermine the vitality of our nation and usher in a period of unprecedented social depression and loss of global leadership.  This is a public service training message of the American Public Safety Training Institute located at: www.tapsti.org   02:00:00Public Safety Todaynocolleges,criminal records,criminal justice,law school,criminal justice jobsThis is a great program on how the United States is quickly becoming a nation where a huge percentage of its economy is and will grow to be based on drugs. Thehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/27/interview-with-an-female-ex-conTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/27/interview-with-an-female-ex-con/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/27/interview-with-an-female-ex-conMon, 27 Jan 2014 15:00:00 GMTInterview with an Female Ex-ConThis is a Special Live Program on Women Prison Inmates This show is much different from most shows in that the entire 2 hours will be an interview with a female ex-convict. "Betty" was recently released from prison and provides us with a realistic and positive story about how prison turned her life around. Abused physically and sexually by her father, and then married to an abusive husband, she found herself giving up her children to escape the man who was threatening her with her life if she chose to fight for her kids. Demoralized, ineffectual, she turned to drugs and self-destruction. Before she knew it she was manufacturing and selling Meth and had fallen into the deepest depths of despair in her life. Broken, she surrendered to authorities, was imprisoned, and served time. In prison she expected to only learn the dark side of human existence but professional prison authorities, excellent programming, and a professionally managed corrections environment turned her around. She was released and is now a productive and positive member of society, struggling to rebuild her life in lieu of the history she is healing from. Hers is a story of dope, hope, of new found love for oneself, of prison programming, and of what we would like to see happen to all inmates as they find a way to reinvent themselves through the corrections process!  This is a Public Service Training Announcement from The American Public Safety Training Institute: www.tapsti.org  01:53:00Public Safety Todaynocolleges,criminal records,criminal justice,law school,criminal justice jobsThis is a Special Live Program on Women Prison Inmates This show is much different from most shows in that the entire 2 hours will be an interview with a femalhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/24/crisis-intervention--domestic-violence-casesTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/24/crisis-intervention--domestic-violence-cases/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/24/crisis-intervention--domestic-violence-casesFri, 24 Jan 2014 13:00:00 GMTCrisis Intervention - Domestic Violence CasesWe have had many programs on Domestic Violence (DV) but this program is an advanced training session on DV from a Crisis Intervention perspective. DV consists of emotional, financial, verbal, and other kinds of abuse besides only physical and we appreciate the varied forms of such when addressing the universal character of DV. We also acknowledge physical abuse in domestic situations exists in all intimate relationships and that single, separated, and divorced women are actually at greater risk for battering than are married women. We know battering exists within the lesbian, gay, and bisexual communities. We also know men are assaulted by women and that the balance between women being assaulted (roughly 55%) and men being assaulted (roughly 45%) is equalizing. Historically, though, women are the major target group for severe domestic violence and they are generally the recipients of physical domestic violence, so this program focuses mainly on crisis intervention with women involved in domestic violence and the men who victimize them. In this presentation, battering is defined as any form of physical violence one person commits on another.  Domestic Violence from a battering perspective includes a history of injuries and psychosocial problems wrapped within a manipulative relationship. Abuse generally indicates that physical violence is only one weapon of many used in the unequal power relationship within which the abuse occures. Assaultive behavior on the part of the abuser can include acts against a primary victim, another adult person, children, pets, or property.  This broadcast is a public affairs presentation of The American Public Safety Training Institute located at: www.tapsti.org   01:22:00Public Safety Todaynocolleges,criminal records,criminal justice,law school,criminal justice jobsWe have had many programs on Domestic Violence (DV) but this program is an advanced training session on DV from a Crisis Intervention perspective.

These fisgures were arrived at with a definition of rape that includes forced vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Other studies range from 10 to 15 percent of men and 15 to 33 percent of women in this country. In 2002, 3 out of 5 sexual assault victims stated the offender was an intimate partner, a relative,  a friend, or an acquaintance. This broadcast deals mainly with adult males as perps and women or children as their victims. Adult males get raped too women are capable of some of the worst sexual and physical abuse imaginable on their own children. The majority of assaults are perpetrated on children and females under 25 years of age and from every segment of society. About 103,000 children are reported as having been sexually abused in our country out of 903,000 child maltreatment cases. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services estimates the true figure to be closer to between 250,000 and 350,000. Roughly 1 in 12 children surveyed indicated they had been sexually victimized in one study year alone! Statistics in nations of Asia, Africa, and Latin America are equally grim or worse with children being sold as child prostitutes or indentured servants. 02:00:00Public Safety Todaynocolleges,criminal records,criminal justice,law school,criminal justice jobsThe National Violence Against Women Survey conducted in 1997 found that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men in the United States had experienced an attempted or complehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/22/crisis-intervention--the-crisis-of-suicide-and-homicideTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/22/crisis-intervention--the-crisis-of-suicide-and-homicide/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2014/01/22/crisis-intervention--the-crisis-of-suicide-and-homicideWed, 22 Jan 2014 13:00:00 GMTCrisis Intervention - The Crisis of Suicide and HomicideSuicide and homicide are two of the worst events that can happen in one's life. Obviously the impact of either of these can leave a person confused, feeling lost, feeling hopeless and all these feeling and more can create a psychological state where one may go into crisis.

It is very important to realize that many things can cause trauma within the client. While PTSD is becoming well known as it applies to combat veterans, people who have been subjected to crisis situations in their routine lives can also suffer from many of the same effects! The sudden loss of a loved one, a horrific accident, abuse, violence and other environmental events can trigger trauma within any of us.

The majority of crisis counseling is now being handled by telephone. The ease with which people can communicate, the ability to have face-to-face conversations via Wi-fi connections, the need to save fuel costs, the fact many clients have had their driver's licenses revoked, and the need to improve efficiency and marketability all point to an increase in progressive counseling methods. Too often, the person on the other end of the telephone is a volunteer. They have not completed a degree in social work, counseling, or psychology. They mean well but they could generate additional problems for the client. They may have been given a script to follow but we know tone, inflection, and spontaneity are all important feedback mechanisms a skilled practitioner optimizes which these volunteers would probably not. As we improve our communications capabilities, the Internet will play a larger part in real-time counseling. It is anyone's guess, though, if the service provider on the other end of the line will be a credentialed professional, a well-meaning volunteer with little or no training, or a crook out to steal your identity. In the future it seems possible there will be computers programmed to interpret input from clients, analyze their voice patterns, and provide feedback even more appropriately than a human could do. This episode mainly focuses on the use of telephones in both counseling and crisis counseling. Online crisis counseling has arrived and there is every reason to believe growth in this industry will progress at a rapid pace. 02:00:00Public Safety TodaynoTelephone,Online Crisis Counseling,social work,counseling,psychologyIn this episode we take a look at some alternative methods of providing counseling.

There are different principles between the two modes, the objectives of each are different, client functioning is different, and assessment procedures differ. Typical models for long-term therapy don't look different from a crisis intervention model at first glance. What is different is that in long-term therapy the process of defining client problems, identifying their alternatives, and supporting them with personal planning are much broader in scope. They are more methodological and they rely on continuous feedback loops in order for you to check the effectiveness of the intervention. A typical counseling session with a long-term client is, (a) where we review their progress since their previous session, (b) collaboratively refine the plan of action needed, (c) process the session completed and define the client’s feelings about it, and (d) propose a new homework assignment to be tried out before the next meeting. Crisis intervention models are such that we need to focus on immediate stabilization of the person in crisis, attempt to return them to equilibrium, and attempt to improve their mobility such they are increasingly autonomous. We do not have the luxury of extended time dimensions or problem scopes. In crisis intervention, exploring problems, identifying alternatives, planning, and committing to a plan all happen in a short period of time and are very focused. In long-term care we can spend weeks involved ion these activities and in crisis care we may spend an hour or so.

When we have important life goals and these goals are blocked somehow, such that they seem insurmountable to us through normal problem solving, there is a period of disorganization which follows which may include many failed attempts at some solution. 2. A crisis is a crisis because we do not know how to deal with a situation.  3. A crisis is a personal difficulty that immobilizes us and prevents us them from controlling our lives. 4. A crisis is a state of personal disorganization where we face profound disruption of our life cycles and the methods we normally use to cope with stress. We may experience fear, shock, and/or distress about this profound disruption and not to the disruption itself. Personal Crisis develops in four stages: 1. a critical situation occurs where we decide whether our normal coping mechanisms will be able to manage the event, 2. we experience increased tension and disorganization surrounding the event and these escalate beyond our coping ability, 3. we experience a demand for additional resources to resolve the event, 4. we may receive, obtain, or be forced to accept a referral to resolve major personality disorganization. We believe crisis is our experiencing of an event as a difficulty that exceeds both our current coping mechanisms. If we experience crisis, and we do not obtain relief, that crisis can severly affect our behavior and cognitive functioning. As a result, this broadcast is a public service of The American Public Safety Training Institute at: www.tapsti.org intended to help those who may either be in crisis mode already or who may know someone who is.  01:59:00Public Safety TodaynoCrsis,crisis intervention,intervention,symptomology,transcrisis statesThere are four different perspectives on CI we will be discussing:  1.

With domestic violence becomeing criminalized the lines between criminal and civil actions are becoming blurred. Individual protection and relief from domestic violence incidents have become both criminal and civil in nature. Domestic law has straetched beyond local statute and now resides in both the federal and state court systems. The first band-aid to DV is usually the "protective order" or "order of protection". We have already discussed how it is the police officer’s job to enforce the orders of protection which originate in the court system. Today's broadcast discusses what one needs to obtain an order of protection. What happens after one has been issued is complex and may involve not only the immediate abuse victim but also their children and opthers living in the household. Courts across the nation have responded to DV with specialized response calendars, procedures, and courts. Staff have also become specialized and multidisciplinary teams are becoming more the norm. Persons who are charged with DV crimes may receive any number of sanctions if found guilty and these range from misdemeanor probation to felony prison time. The most frequent response to DV in the court is the offender attend a batterer treatment program. This is supported through specialists involved with providing probation services, victim services, advocacy, and safety sypport.

As society has evolved the terms applied to it have evolved as well. We have called it harassment, we have called it an annoyance, and now we refer to it as a domestic violence crime. Is it really? What happened to romance where the male used to "court " and "woe" the female? Is this dead now? Is there no romance? Stalking is defined in this program as a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention. This leads to harassment and other courses of conduct directed at someone which reasonably causes them fear. California led the nation in coining the term stalking and that state defined a set of behaviors that define this as deviant conduct now prohibited by law. There has been unprecedented interest in stalking since then as antistalking legislation has been passed in every state and the District of Columbia. There is a relationship between homicide and domestic violence often assumed but not empirically proven. Statistics on homicides in the United States come from Uniform Crime Reports and whatever gets databased by the local police department according to the statutes they have to work with which define what a crime is. Only recently have we really databased and documented relationships between perpetrators and their victims. In this show we will explore what homicide is. We will discuss how it is defined, how it includes the killing of a human being by an act, or a procurement, or an omission of another human being. While intentionally causing death to another may be homicide it may not necessarily be murder.

The rate of DV has fallen since 1993 even thougfh the proportion of genders in abusers and victims has also considerably shifted. Research indicates some of this decline is due to improved services (usually for battered women), such as hotlines and shelters. The criminalization of domestic violence has played a large role as criminal justice professionals have become increasingly involved, court professionals have made reuction of DV a priroity for them, and diversion programs including counseling have had millions of offendersw completed their sanctions while learning about better ways to manage their lives. A the public has become better aware of DV and the complications of DV as it relates to social costs and deviancy DV has become recognized as a significant health risk to society. This training show will be focusing on the adult perpetrator of violence more than defining what DV is in and of itself. This show is more a profiling of the perpetrator, descriptions of offenders and the risks that they pose.

To a large extent, the GLBT population is underserved by social service and policy responses and for homosexual persons victimized by a same-sex intimate partner. Public Safety professionals should know and understand GLBT relationships fall within the category of intimate partnerships/domestic violence. As much as GLBT relationships constitute nontraditional families they now often have legal status and legal protection although that may vary a lot from one state to another. Three states allow same-sex marriage and nine states allow either civil unions or domestic abuse partnerships. Forty states have statutes banning gay marriage and 27 states have constitutional prohibitions. It is because of this questionable legal status of GLBT partnerships that remedies for abuse are in constant states of flux and why it is im,portant that Public Safety personnel reserach their state and stay abreast of changes in their own state laws.  This program is a Public Service of the American Public Safety Training Institute found at www.tapsti.org.    01:59:00Public Safety TodaynoGay male,Gay male intimate partner abuse,Internalized homophobia,criminal justice,LesbianGay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered (GLBT) populations are subject to marginalization and devaluation in our society.

This program examines both theory of child abuse and consequences of child abuse as we focus on violence in the family and its later influences on juvenile behaviors. Multidimensional theories have surfaced to address the confusion left by earlier criminological theories. With the expansion of new theoretical approaches comes even more confusion about what works and what does not work. We know children experience similar symptoms to abuse that adults do. What differs is their ability to verbalize the pain they feel Often this is due to their fear they will lose their caregiver. Children may have much the same feelings as adults even within the same home about what is happening but they have not developed skills to understand the situations they witness and do not know how to deal with their feelings. As a result, tehse children who witnessed violence or experienced abuse may then learn violent behavior as the result of their immature perceptions of the world around them. They may also learn to justify violent behavior as appropriate. Until a short time ago, we tended to dismiss or ignore concerns about juvenile violence until it grew to its present proprotions and lethality. Juvenile crime is a major social concern and family violence perpetrated against siblings and parents are still under researched.  This is a public affairs presentation of the American Public Safety Training Institute at www.tapsti.org   01:59:00Public Safety TodaynoAnimal abuse,Patricide,Bestiality,Pedophile,Criminal JusticeChildren are at risk for being victimized by domestic violence as well as later being the perpetrators of it against others.

Child protective services is one of those agencies and must determine if a child is in need of care, protection, and/or various services. Social service agencies get involved to investigate evidence abuse occurred and identify the person likely to have committed the abuse or, in cases of neglect, to investigate the neglect to protect the child. The police investigate suspected abuse and neglect cases as well but they have a different goal: They are required to determine if probable cause exists to evidence a crime having been committed and to identify the perpetrator for possible prosecution.  Physical injury as well as signs of psychological or emotional abuse are important to the police investigator. Evidence, statements, and reports from forensics are collected with the goal of identifying and prosecuting the perpetrator. The different agencies may have different goals based on what they do but their cooperation is always based in what is in the best interests of the child.

This is nothing new, is not just an American phenomenon, is not a revelation. As far back as written history exists, men have owned their children as well as their wives, their animals, their slaves, and their other property. Children throughout history and in a myriad of different cultures and times could be sent into slavery to rapay a debt or the child might be sold outright for profit. Physical abuse, child neglect, and child sexual abuse were considered socially acceptable behavior in much of ancient times.  Now we have a different perspective on child abuse but we also know that rarely is child abuse experienced through a single attack, a single act of deprivation, or a single molestation. Very often there are multiple forms of abuse happening simultaneously. There may be emotional abuse through excessive or aggressive parental behavior which places unreasonable demands on the child. Sometimes emotional abuse is not what the parent does to the child but what a parent fails to do at all! Children who are starved for love, for care, for support, and for guidance carry those psychological scars well into adulthood. This program will begin with a history of child maltreatment and then take a look at modern defeintions of child abuse. Types of abuse covered include emotional/psychological abuse, neglect, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. We will then cover mandated reporting, child victim criminal law, DV and child custody issues, and criminal jurisdictions as they apply to child abuse cases.

Public Safety personnel need to be well grounded in theorretical reasons for DV so they can better appreciate and resolve DV problems they encounter. Due to the complex nature of the Public Safety business, and the range of contact types we may have with the abusers as well as the victims, we need to examine why DV occures from a wide range of perspectives so we will be as inclusive as we can of all the different possibilities. We can measure DV by how often it happens, when it happens, what type happens, and what the frequency of different types is.  By studying the agencies involved and the outcome of different methods of dealing with DV we can better appreciate those methods which yirled the better results. That helps us shape our responding organizations, spend the money where it realizes the best return on investment, and accom0plishes something toward our efforts for reduction of harm being done in our communities.  Research is important because it provides a method through which we can reconcile each person's personal reality with experiential reality. Through applying scientific methods we can observe, record information, document our research, provide information to others, replicate studies so we don't overgeneralize, and prevent selective observation, and illogical reasoning. Today we will introduce you to common research methods information sources guiding our criminal justice role in combating family violence.

The term family violence can refer to many different forms of violence. The crime of family violence consists of acts forbidden by law and where the perpetrator is related to the victim. Family violence is a reality today just has it has been for most of human time. We have not progressed as far as most people believe. Family violence is also a crime. Victims come from every walk of life. They are both men and women. Dating partners are battered and raped. Lesbian and gay male domestic partners may be threatened and beaten. Children and spouses victimize the older adults who live with them. Children are victims as well through being physically abused and sexually molested by the adults with whom they live or are related to.

It is a crisis that either does or will affect us all. How we respond depends on the nature of the violence inclusive of cultural, economic, social, and political contexts. The consequences of this violence affect all of society, each community, and the children. Additional costs include lowered economic production, political and social instability and intergenerational transmission of violence. In this broadcast we will be providing an international examination of the global problem of domestic violence.  Subjects covered in this broadcast include: a) Battering, b) Sexual abuse of children in the household, c) Dowry-related violence, d) Marital rape, e) female genital mutilation, f) nonspousal violence, g) violence related to exploitation, h) physical, sexual, and psychological violence occurring within the general community, i) forced prostitution, and j) physical, sexual, and psychological violence perpetrated or condoned by the State.  This training program is a public service of The American Public Safety Training Institute found at www.tapsti.org   02:00:00Public Safety Todaynobride-burning,stoev death,dowry,female genital mutilation,female infanticideEven without exact counts of victims, one can easily say that family violence affects millions of women, men, and children across the United States and around thttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2013/11/27/state-of-the-police--domestic-violence-responseTraininghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2013/11/27/state-of-the-police--domestic-violence-response/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/tapsti/2013/11/27/state-of-the-police--domestic-violence-responseWed, 27 Nov 2013 13:00:00 GMTState of the Police - Domestic Violence ResponseHow do the police get involved in DV cases? Arrest policies are examined in this show in addition to alternative resources for police to consider. Civil protection orders and mental health statutes appear to complicate the police response at first glance, but ultimately these are tools for officers to use toward resolving domestic violence conflict. The determination of probable cause is of critical importance to any police action that may involve an arrest. As a result, officers must collect evidence and question suspects. In this program we discuss primary and dominant aggressor determination. Also discussed are the constitutional constraints that police officers must work within to gather information and evidence.

The street gangs are considered criminal and the fraternities prestigious. Why when they both do so close to the same thing and when both are often involved in criminal enterprise? This is because social class determined a person chosing a "gang" vs. a fraternity to some extent. Fraternities on our college campuses are often dealt with differently than street gangs even though they are a lot alike in terms of the crimes they commit. The lack of criminological literature on elite criminal organizations such as fraternities and the hidden impacts they have on society is something rarely discussed. The research for this show comes largely from a paper written by Daniel Tennant for California Poltytechnic State University where he used personal interviews with both street gang and fraternity members. We will also include research from experts on street gangs and correlate that with a lot of the activities of fraternities across the country. Because this is a training program we will also include social theories that help explain why one person may be in a fraternity where his neighbor down the block may end up in an organized street gang. There is a fair amount of gang evolution which is included as well to help our trainees better understand the background of gangs in the United States.  This training program is a public service of The American Public Safety Training Institute found at www.tapsti.org   02:01:00Public Safety Todaynostreet gang,fraternity,criminal,law enforcement,criminologyThis show takes a look at the similarities between street gangs and university fraternities.

We could not pass up the chance to build our inventory of interviews to use for training and for getting the message out that this is wrong - violence between cohabitants is wrong, DV is wrong, hate is wrong - and how we need to change society if we are ever able to reduce the level of violence we all experience. These two brave victims came forward to tell their stories, be candid about the impact of DV on them, and provide their suggestions for how victims can rebuild their lives. We invite you to call in at 323-693-3340 for the live broadcast and/or to listen to the archived broadcast as well.

In this seminar we speak about DV culture and the society we are all a part of. We take this one hour to explore the barabarism of DV in all its forms and look at things from a common-sense approach and at the eqliazation of abuse across the genders. We examine the evolution of power and control between people and within societies. The seminar explores a revised form of the Parent-Adult-Child concept and this applies both to our society as well as to the abusers who manipulate and hurt others.

Participants were solicited through a variety of avenues including the Fraternal Order of Police, all law enforcement organizations in the state, and other sources. Law enforcement departments were either reluctant to allow research access to data or did not collect such information. For example the state in question does not track this data at all. 40 percent of respondents acknowledged they felt the training they received was inadequate. Additional findings will be discussed during the broadcast. Law enforcement officers often address their issues internally rather than externally and that makes it difficult to detect evidence of suicidal thoughts and behavior, mental illness, and depression in individuals who suffer from mental illness or self-medication.      If law enforcement officers are to survive effectively in the workplace, they must master effective coping skills that will help them deal with occupational stress. Based on the premise that officers are uncomfortable approaching departments for help, departments are potentially at risk for adverse legal action and leaving communities to be protected by officers who are emotionally unstable.

Ideally, agencies should provide officers with the tools and training to resolve any event that causes the officers stress. If officers can recognize and harness these emotional responses as instructed in initial training, they may prevent injury to themselves the people around them or even death. In this episode we study how Officers cope with stressful events. We discuss the fight or flight response which results from the individual’s automatic response to a recognized threat to survival. As a result of their training, officers must deal with critical incidents in which they must react, recognize, and confidently cope in highly stressful situations on a daily basis.

It involves any number of social, environmental, and individual factors that officers encounter on a daily basis.  Law enforcement officers respond and intervene when they recognize the warning signs of suicide when dealing with the public, yet they are reluctant to intervene when they notice the same symptoms in their colleagues. This episode is all about a researcher trying to ascertain what the perceptions and responses of law enforcement officers were to the suicidal ideations of professional colleagues.   This training program is a public service of The American Public Safety Training Institute found at www.tapsti.org 02:00:00Public Safety TodaynoOfficer Suicide,Law Enforcement,Public Safety,Police,SuicideSuicide among law enforcement encompasses more than the taking of the officers’ life.
