The Effect of Prison Culture on Prison Staff
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: A-, Ottawa University, course: Qualitative Research Methods, language: English, abstract: A qualitative research study looking at the effects of prison culture on prison staff and possible solutions to perceived problems. By looking at prison management theory, prison culture, and staff culture, this paper provides a comprehensive explanation of the influences within prison relations and how those influences affect prison staff at both the ‘frontline’ and the administrative levels. This is the first research study in Canada to specifically relate the effects of prison culture on prison staff and examine the correctional institution as a workplace environment. Using interviews as the data collection method, this study shows how the unstable and chaotic nature of the prison negatively influences those working within it. This paper hopes to provide concrete solutions to the problems identified. By doing so, the prison as a workplace can be improved which results in increased job performance and job satisfaction and a better institution to live and work in.

Research Methodologies at the Dissertation Level
Scientific Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Communications - Methods and Research Logic, grade: A-, Ottawa University, course: Qualitative Research Methods, language: English, abstract: Identifying applicable research strategies at a level suitable for dissertations is almost as difficult as the process of conducting and completing a dissertation-level research experiment.

Yet methods cannot be orchestrated to generate this outcome from the data, but merely facilitate its collection and synthesis. Any successful research methodology does not, therefore, create knowledge, but rather is an app...
A Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Case Study
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: A, Ottawa University, course: Individual Intervention, language: English, abstract: It is easy to see why cognitive-behavioural theory is so popular. It takes into account the cognitive aspect of behaviour and how individuals act, which gives it a lot of credibility in the counselling field. There are many specific and general treatments that can be used, as well as being able to utilize both individual and group counselling. Furthermore, it has been widely used for drug offenders, sex offenders, and young offenders. A theory that has so many implications must be fundamentally and structurally sound to withstand problem and criticisms from many different outlets.

Synthesizing Social Research
Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Communications - Methods and Research Logic, grade: A-, Ottawa University (Criminology), course: Qualitative Research Methods, language: English, abstract: Although knowledge is created and disseminated every day; there is relatively little consideration given to how that knowledge exists and how it was created in the first place. This essay explores how knowledge is created through research as logic of enquiry, mainly focusing on the differences between method and methodology, the debate between qualitative and quantitative research, and ultimately, the conclusion that research must be a synthesis of all relevant competing methodologies in a mixed methods approach. By utilizing such a holistic strategy, researchers are able to uncover their problem more accurately and effectively.

Political Accountability and Responsibility in the Government
Essay from the year 2008 in the subject Organisation and administration - Miscellaneous, grade: B+, Ottawa University, course: Understanding Politics, language: English, abstract: History has proven, and will continue to prove, that in a democratic society such as Canada, the ultimate mechanism to ensure accountability is democracy. And through the critique of accountability and responsibility, one may find the true bearer of power: public citizens. The government has to be accountable to its citizens because the power is ultimately delegated by them, through voting. To sustain this power, the public must continuously ensure that governments are being responsible and accountable, for anything less is undemocratic.
