Brief synopsis of the research article you selected.
The article I chose Harm Reduction and the American Difference: Drug Treatment and Problem-Solving Courts in Comparative Perspective by Noland. This article talked about drug courts and how others like them are called problem solving courts. These courts are designed not to punish people but to help them solve a problem. For example, a drug court would be focused on helping people get off drugs instead of throwing them in prison.
These courts operate on the harm reduction philosophy. They all have five common features first; they all have close ongoing judicial monitoring. Second, they all have a multidisciplinary or team approach. Third, they are all treatment oriented. Fourth, they all alter the traditional adjudication process. Finally, they all put an emphasis on solving the problems of offenders (Nolan, 2010).
The harm reduction model states treatment is a success if less harm is done because of going through treatment (Geyer, 2009). According to this treatment a person can get put back in jail or prison and still be considered a success. If what they got sent back for was not the same as before. For example, if Henry goes back to prison for possession of crack. His charge before was possession of marijuana. He would be considered a treatment success because he did not go back for possession of marijuana.
I like the harm reduction model because it has the most options for success when compared to the other two models. With this model a person has a much better chance of success than with any other model. I believe more options lead to more success. Another example of the harm reduction model would be in Australia they have three types of sex workers. They have the ones that are call girls, ones that work in brothels, and ones that work the street. In the courts there they try to take the ones from the streets and put them to work in the brothels. This is harm reduction because they are taking women off the streets and putting them in better working conditions. Yes, they are still prostituting but they are safer in a brothel than on the street (Nolan, 2010).

The required article by Perry (2009) (ATTACHED) illustrates and defends an approach to child maltreatment based on neurodevelopmental analysis that seeks to understand and treat abuse victims with reference to the areas of the brain affected.
Based on these readings, account for or respond to each of the following in your initial post:
a) Analyze the findings of the Perry study, addressing the strengths and shortcomings of the neurodevelopmental approach. Are there limits to this sort of approach, and if so, what alternative approach might add something to a neurobiological analysis?
b) Offer a real-life experience, alternative study, or recent news report that in some way illustrates or casts light upon Perry’s findings.

Find an ad that involves social and prestige suggestions—techniques based on the premise that you should buy or do something because many others do so (social suggestion) or some well-known person (celebrity) makes a recommendation (prestige suggestion).
Answer the following questions:
1. Discuss what product this ad attempts to market and describe where the ad came from. Describe or attach
2. Discuss which component(s) of attitudes (e.g., affective, behavioral, cognitive) to which the ad appeals. How can you tell? Was this a good strategy for this product/audience?
3. Discuss the route of persuasion do the advertisers seem to use (e.g., central/systematic route vs. peripheral/heuristic)? Was that a good choice? Specifically, what central or peripheral cues are used?
4. Does the ad attempt to describe the source of its product information (e.g., “dentists agree that _____” or “experts suggest ____?” Do these sources come off as credible and/or attractive? If there was no expert, do you think one would have helped? Why or why not?
5. Discuss the communication itself. In your opinion, is the advertisement persuasive? I want you to answer this question by commenting on four elements: Whether the advertisement is a) weak/strong, b) one-sided/two-sided, c) overt/implied, and d) discrepant with the audience/in-line with the audience. Then, tell me why. That is, answer along the lines of: “The advertisement was weak because …” and “The ad was one-sided because …” etc. After discussing those ideas, let me know whether the way the advertiser presented the ad was persuasive.
6. Discuss the target of the communication. Who are the advertisers targeting, how can you tell, and was that a good decision? How might this ad be different if directed towards an audience from a more interdependent culture?
7. Describe how AT LEAST ONE social psychology concept that we have discussed that applies to this ad (e.g. dissonance, emotions, attitudes, self-monitoring, etc. – your choice). First, define that concept and then discuss how it is relevant to the ad’s persuasiveness.
