The law of parties to a crime, is usually called “accomplice liability”, and it says that an individual can be held criminally responsible for offenses which he/she did not commit personally by the fact that he/she intentionally assisted or encouraged the violation (Hecht, 2019). Under this theory, each participant’s act and intention are questioned in order to establish their appropriated liabilities. Alex’s Liability: Alex is involved in the robbery not just indirectly but directly since he physically enters the bank, uses a weapon to intimidate the teller and gets the money. It is a basic offense of robbery aggravated, which is characterized by a weapon in the hands of the robber to threaten or cause harm while stealing (Hecht, 2019). Since Alex’s conduct contains all the factors of an aggravated robbery, namely using a firearm as a deadly weapon then robbery, this offense is directly his. Ben’s Liability: Ben is positioned at the door as a ‘lookout’ which means that he is the one keeping watch, while the others are inside the bank and preparing for the robbery. His role is of vital importance even though he does not enter the bank or hold the weapon himself. The fact that his actions will reduce the danger of any approaching danger makes the crime easier for Alex. This means Alex can carry on the robbery with less risk of the interruption (Kaiserman, 2021). Therefore, under an accomplice-law Ben is liable to the same degree as the shooter because his spotting the robbery place amounted to intentional assistance and instigation of a crime. Chris’s Liability: Chris’s role as an escape driver was an integral part of the team’s plan to pull the robbery off. Chris sitting in the driver’s seat of a stolen getaway vehicle, which is a hint that he might be the one to execute the most important part of the crime the escape. His effort and preparation beforehand suggest that he was not only present but also an instigator and accomplice to Alex and Ben’s crime, as the law of parties would make him as much of a perpetrator as them (Kaiserman, 2021). His acts as being the key to the criminal enterprise’s success; therefore, he is guilty of aggravated robbery. Inconclusion, Alex, Ben and Chris are all liable to the charge of aggravated robbery according to the law and parties laws. All three were aware of the plan and actively participated in it and consequently if complicity liability is applied each of them is guilty of the offense. As each of them had performed different yet equally important tasks, thus, their collaborative crime had been proven with purpose and cooperation. The fact that the different accomplices to the crime are involved together is what makes them liable to the rules of complicity in the criminal law.

Evidence-based practices are the core of treatment protocols for mental health disorders for justice-involved individuals. As a human services professional, you need to be able to analyze evidence-based practices for mental health intervention and treatment. Refer to the scenario below. (SAM) You are continuing in your role as a human services professional working at a psychological treatment center in a local correctional facility. You will be assisting your supervisor to research and determine an appropriate treatment protocol for the client in your chosen scenario. Research common treatment interventions and practices for the disorder in your chosen scenario. Create a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation regarding evidence-based treatment protocols for the disorder in your chosen scenario. If necessary details are missing from the case study, fill in the gaps with information from your research. For your presentation, you must: Describe 3 possible evidence-based treatment protocols for the justice-involved individual. Include the following for each: What interventions are common in this treatment protocol? What is necessary for this treatment to be successful? What are the benefits of this treatment? What are the drawbacks of this treatment? Propose 1 treatment protocol for the client. Use the research you conducted to support your proposal. Provide support for your reasons for choosing this treatment protocol for this client. Cite a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed journal articles according to APA guidelines. Scenario: Sam is a 25-year-old African American man who is incarcerated for robbing a jewelry store. He reported that he was “framed” for this offense. Sam reported that he was engaged in a “spiritual battle” against demonic spirits who told him to shoot himself. During the interview, he stated that he had “telepathic skills,” meaning that he heard voices inside his head with whom he had conversations. He felt disappointed he was unable to complete his suicide and asked the staff to call the FBI but declined to explain the reason for his request. The voices gave him “hypnotic commands” and also had the power to “increase his own serotonin.” He did not believe that the voices were part of any illness but just telepathic communications with demonic beings. He reported how voices controlled him: “They enjoy controlling me. They keep me from having complete thoughts. I find myself not realizing what I am trying to do; they make me feel ‘gyroscopic,’ give me heartburn, and they have the ability to nullify my medications.” The patient indicated that he had difficulties maintaining his train of thought: “Voices keep me from having complete thoughts very often, and they block my thoughts, keep me from doing things, and get me scared.” The voices were in total control of his future, and suicide was his only option: “I am not able to control my future enough to make things not happen.” Sam first consulted a psychiatrist when he was 17 and reported paranoid thinking. He started to hear voices when he was 21. Primary diagnosis: Unspecified Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorder. DSM-5 298.9 (F29) Note: In DSM-4, this category was called Psychotic Disorder (Not Otherwise Specified NOS). It is used where there is inadequate information (family history, medical history, etc.) to make a specific diagnosis.
