Using the life-course perspective as a guide, discuss how child abuse and neglect can affect an individual throughout his or her life course. What kind of trajectory do these children have? What are some turning points that the victim may encounter, and how might they affect the victims life?

 Throughout this EMG course, we have studied the various Frameworks that are part of the National Preparedness System that helps establish the National Preparedness Goal. This units topic, the National Response Framework (NRF), can be considered the heart of the matter. This is where all of the specific preparatory actions and the prevention and protection actions come together in the response to an incident or disaster. We have also focused on the issue of active shooters, particularly in school scenarios because this is a topic that is relevant for all of us. School shooting situations have been ubiquitous, happening in all parts of the country. Assume there is a terrorist active shooter attack at your neighborhood elementary school. Be sure to identify the community and school. For this assignment, complete both parts. Part 1: Draw up a block or wiring diagram that shows how the Incident Command, National Incident Management System (NIMS) protocol and NRF would be set up to respond to and control the situation, showing the lines of reporting and directing between each. You should use the actual organizational positions and titles and have enough detail that you can use it in Part 2. You can use Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint to design your diagram using the Shapes and SmartArt dropdowns in the toolbar. The references in this unit have some good block or wiring diagrams to use as a guide; however, do not copy them, use your own creation. In addition, your diagram does not need to be elaborate, but it does need to meet the criteria listed above. Part 2: Using your diagram, describe how NIMS and the NRF would be set up, and who would provide what for whom. In other words, how the whole system would work for this incident. In addition, in your discussion you should include the following elements. Describe how local community emergency management organizations would respond to and support other agencies in resolving this active shooter situation at a neighborhood school. Discuss the different hazards that might be present with an active shooter situation at a neighborhood school, and how they would be controlled or mitigated. Examine what emergency support functions (ESFs) described in the National Response Framework would be carried out and by whom, and how they would be carried out. This assignment should be at least three pages in length (double space, 12-point Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins) and in APA format including title and reference pages (title and reference pages do not count towards the threepage minimum). There should be a minimum of three sources used to support this assignment. One source should be from the National Response Framework (3rd ed.) document and the other two should be any other government document that has been discussed already in this course and is applicable to this assignment. Ensure you provide in-text citations as well as a reference page using APA format. Please contact the Success Center for assistance with APA formatting and writing tutoring. Combine Part 1 and Part 2 and submit in one document for this assignment 

Instructions

Refer back to the two reading assignments for this unit. Then, write an essay that answers the questions listed below.

1. Read , and answer the questions below.
   1. The Illinois Appellate Court, citing a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, says that “Perhaps we could never succeed in intelligibly defining the kinds of matter we understand to be embraced within the shorthand description of battered woman’s syndrome.” Why not?
   2. Would you be able to formulate an effective legal description of battered woman’s syndrome? If so, what would it be?
2. Read , and answer the questions below.
   1. Miller claimed to be sane before and after the killing but insane during the time the crime was committed. His attorneys asked that, at the end of the trial, the jury be instructed on the issue of temporary insanity and that they be told that “regardless of its duration, legal insanity that existed at the time of the commission of the crime is a defense to the crime.” Why do you think that the trial court refused to give the jury instructions regarding the insanity defense, which the defendant wished to have communicated?
   2. In this case, the appellate court reversed the defendant’s conviction and remanded the case for a new trial. On what basis was that decision reached? Do you agree that the appellate court should have reached such a decision? Why, or why not?
   3. What does this case have to tell us about the difference between insanity and temporary insanity? Are differences between the two terms significant in cases such as this one? Why, or why not? 

Your essay will be a minimum of two pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Your essay should contain a clear introduction and be well-organized.

You are required to use at least two resources to support your essay, one of which may be your textbook. All resources used including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. Your essay, including all references, will be formatted in APA style.
