Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Criminal record self-stigma and motivation

Comments

28/8/2019 NPLeach,

Good start! Have you considered looking at recidivism rates as well as educational opportunities while incarcerated as a method to improve reintegration rates as well as self worth? Also I noticed another segment of the book examining criminal recidivism prevention motivation, you two should have a chat, im sure you could help each other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NPLeach (talk • contribs) 11:10, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Hey, I'm currently working within the criminal justice sysem and have an interest in the area of what motivates reoffence and what needs to change in order to reduce recidivism. Good luck with your book chapter! Check out: Mohammed, Hadi, and Mohamed, Wan Azlinda Wan. “Reducing Recidivism Rates through Vocational Education and Training.” Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 204 (2015): 272–276.

Hello! I am currently working on a book chapter quite similar but in regards to the emotional effects of a criminal record, a interesting topic could involve how stigmas could be caused by stereotypes! Best of luck! Cant wait to see what ideas you have. U3178428 (discuss contribs) 5:54, 31 August 2019

Hey Maddie!

This looks awesome so far! Such an interesting topic that is becoming more and more important to study these days. My topic is nothing like this one but I can't wait to see more of what you come up with! In your topic development, I thought if you need more resources I found these 2 articles if you were interested! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165178109003424

Hey, Hope you're going well on the book chapter so far. Found a journal article I think you might find useful:

Hi, I found an article that may be useful for you. It looks at how perceived stigma can influence the motivation of people with a criminal record. They found that it impacted future employability and future arrests. It's quite interesting because they found differences between African Americans and Caucasians. This may indicate some form of social conditioning or stereotype that people then adopt about themselves. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4103667/ Good luck with your assignment --U3175271 (discuss • contribs) 02:53, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I had a look through your reference list and noticed that the article; Education in Prison and the Self-Stigma:Empowerment Continuum would offer an opportunity for you to discuss how offenders can overcome the barriers of self-stigma and which programs offered in prison can make a difference to self-concept and ease re-entry into the community for offenders. Good luck with your assignment! (U3125721 (discuss • contribs) = U3125721) (U3125721 (discuss • contribs) 06:54, 18 October 2019 (UTC) = U3125721 17:53, 18 October 2019 (UTC))

Hi again! When working on my book chapter quite similar to yours, I found a few great programs that help ex-offenders find employment. This might be useful in your chapter too! Some of the helpful programs in place are: WISE employment, Second step, Community Restorative Program, Salvation Army Australia. Have a look at this website if you're interested: https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/help-i-want-to-work-getting-a-job-after-prison/ U3178428 (discuss • contribs) 10:07, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Hey there, this is really well laid out and a great topic. Just a heads up that I made a few edits in your referencing in italicising some of the journals/books titles. --U3069703 (discuss • contribs) 07:20, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title and sub-title Excellent User page Created, with description about self and link to book chapter Social contribution Summarised with indirect links to evidence. Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. Section headings Reasonably well developed 3-level heading structure, with meaningful headings that directly relate to the core topic. Consider simplifying to a 2-level structure. Key points Remove or adapt generic template content. Key points are well developed for most sections, with relevant citations. Include in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters. Consider introducing a case study in the Overview. Consider including more examples/case studies. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end. Image An image (figure) is presented. Caption uses APA style. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text. Cite each figure at least once in the main text. References Good. For full APA style: Use correct capitalisation Use the new recommended format for dois - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/07/how-to-use-the-new-doi-format-in-apa-style.html Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume Resources See also Use bullet-points Rename links so that they are more user friendly Also link to past relevant chapters External links Use bullet-points Rename links so that they are more user friendly

Feedback

• Under the heading life after prison: you talk about how individuals feel like they have every aspect of their lives controlled. You may be able to link this to the psychological need for autonomy. See Reeve 2018 chapter 6.
• for the theoretical model of self stigma: this is a process so you could display it as a flow chart if you wanted to add more images. I use https://www.draw.io/ to make flow charts.
• Regarding APA formatting: When using a reference as part of a sentence e.g "Muller and Dweck (1999) said that"... use the word and not & as you would with a in text reference to support a sentence.
• regarding references: Needs work see http://libraryguides.vu.edu.au/apa-referencing/journal-articles

Additionally: FYI, the current way to display a doi in apa format is to precede it with https://doi.org/

For example doi: 10.1037/arc0000014 should be displayed as https://doi.org/10.1037/arc0000014

For more details see https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2017/03/doi-display-guidelines-update-march-2017.html

General comments: Looking really good so far, great presentation and writing style, supported by evidence. Good luck with it!!

Waaaaay better than mine, only thing I found was sepArate instead of sepErate in the "peer support" section, looking good otherwise! :) --U3096876 (discuss • contribs) 19:00, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is an very good chapter that successfully uses psychological theory and addresses a practical, real-world phenomenon or problem. The research focus could be enhanced. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits. Theory Relevant theories are well selected, described, and explained in an easy to understand way. Consider connecting to "learned helplessness". Research Relevant research is cited, but research about self-stigma and self-stigma in criminal populations could be described in more detail (the chapter is well under the maximum word count). When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship. Greater emphasis on major reviews and meta-analyses would be helpful. Written expression Written expression Overall, the chapter is very well written. The chapter benefited from a well developed Overview and Conclusion, with clear focus question(s) and take-home messages. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned"). Use third person perspective, rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective. Layout The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Learning features Interwiki links are well used. Embedding interwiki links links to other book chapters would help to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Good use of images. No use of tables. Good use of feature boxes. Excellent use of quizzes. Excellent use of case studies or examples. Grammar Check and correct use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's). Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style. Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour; fulfillment vs. fulfilment). Proofreading Only minor errors evident. APA style Generally, very good. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numbers (e.g., 10). Use APA style for citing figures. Citations are not in full APA style. For example: A serial comma is needed before "&" or "and" for citations involving three or more authors. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets. References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation. Social contribution ~5 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence. 2 contributions were part of Topic Development 3 contributions were in the last day or so before chapters were due.

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a promising presentation, but has some key problems. This presentation makes use of simple tools. The presentation is over the maximum time limit - content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking purposes. Structure and content Add and narrate a Title slide which contains the title and sub-title, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation. Well selected content - not too much or too little. The presentation is well organised. An Overview slide (with focus questions) is used to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages. What are the practical take-home message(s) that we can use to help improve our everyday lives? Communication The presentation is interesting to watch and listen to. The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio. Well paced. Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images. Production quality The chapter title but not the sub-title are used in the video title - the latter would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. The chapter title and sub-title are used on the opening slide - this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Audio recording quality was OK - probably an on-board microphone was used because the sound was a bit tinny and some keyboard clicks were audible. Consider using an external microphone. Visual display quality was good. Image sources and their copyright status are not provided. Either acknowledge the image sources and their licenses in the video description or remove the presentation. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided. A link to the book chapter is not provided. A link from the book chapter was not provided; it has now been added. A written description of the presentation is not provided.
