PFP 152 Community & Social Services - Regent Park & YCAPP Case Study

Deadline: Week of March 26th, 2018

In partners (groups of two), you are required to conduct a case study analysis regarding a young

offender and a service provider in the Canadian criminal justice system. Through your analysis, you

will assess the individuals involved, the communities the case takes place in and the most

appropriate decision for the case, based on the concepts of the Canadian criminal justice system and

the community and social service sector.

There are three (3) parts to this case study analysis. All three parts must be completed and

handed in to receive full marks. Each part must have accurate APA referencing, including

citations. Failure to do so will result in a grade of zero (0).

Part One: Individual Party Analysis

In 1-2 pages, you will provide an individual analysis of the following parties:

1) Martin A. 2). Irene M.

Each analysis should consider the following:

A summary of each party’s involvement and/or role in the case. Personal and/or social problems each party is facing? Which theory/theories help explain each party’s role in the case - Conflict, Structural-Functionalism, Symbolic Interactionism?

The goals of each party. What are their needs and assets? Which Locus of Power(s) do they have? Which Locus of Power do they not have? How does this relate to the case?

Additional comments and/or reflections you may wish to add to your analysis.

Part Two: Community Analysis

1). In 1-2 pages, you will provide a community analysis on the following:

a). Regent Park community (c. 2005)

b). Youth Court Action Planning Program (YCAPP)

Each analysis should consider the following:

A summary of each community’s background and its relevance to the case. Personal and/or social problems that exist in each community and/or how are they addressed?

Which theory/theories help explain each party’s role in the case (Conflict, Structural-Functionalism, Symbolic Interactionism)?

The goals, needs and assets of each community player? Which Locus of Power(s) do they

have? Which do they lack? How does this relate to the case?

Additional comments and/or reflections you may wish to add to your analysis.

2). In one (1) page, list and describe the community and social services you could use to address this

case and why. How would these services support and satisfy the youth, the family, the Court and the

community? Note: these services should be real, existing services.

Part Three: Professional Recommendation to the Criminal Court of Law

In 2-3 pages, submit a final report indicating your decision and plan of service you devised for Martin

A. Using course concepts, your report should include the following criteria:

Your decision to work or not work with Martin (include your rationale) Martin A.’s background and factors the Court should take into consideration when deciding to detain or release the youth

Martin A.’s family background and its relevance to your decision and plan of service

Where Martin A. will reside, with whom and why (whether he is detained or released)

Martin A.’s plan of service (include the community and social services you will be using, why and when they will be available for Martin – should you decide to release him)

Any additional information that would be helpful for the Court to make its decision

Your report should address the needs of the youth, the family, the Court and the community while

upholding the principles of the (youth) criminal justice system. How your service plan addresses and

satisfies these needs should be included in your report.

Case Study Report Submission Must Haves:

Your report should be addressed to the Justice of the Peace/Judge using formal legal terminology. You also must describe your program and why you were asked to analyse this case.

Your analysis should be typed, double-spaced, 12” Times New Roman/Arial font and written in case report style (introduction, subheadings, concluding paragraph and formal language).

APA formatting, including citations and referencing, including APA title page.

Your analysis should also be relevant to the course and include course content. You will be graded in three areas: analysis, conceptualization and presentation.
