- What happens to the brain when trauma occurs and how does it behave differently from others.
From what I have learned and what I was teached trauma occurs when a overwhelming, deeply frightening thing breaks a persons self safety, which leaves the brain unresponsive or unable to process the experience so when a event occurs that makes the brain remember what happens, it inflicts a temporary shock in the mind which instantly activates a flight or fight mode, flooding the system with stress hormones and things like adrenaline.
With this people with trauma have deeply affected their brains cognitive system on how their nervous system and brain feels when a event happens.
2. How do people behave differently if they understand their personality
I think that understanding your own personality can make a huge switch from automatic reactions like things you say instantly when something happens into deliberate choices. So rather than trying to change who they are for people they change or manipulate the environment around them to suit their tendencies to their liking.
3. Crime investigation
- What questions might you ask eyewitnesses? (include at least 5) – what I would ask an eye witness would be a recall question to make them try and remember what happend in the incident, for example ”please tell me what happend in the incident from start to finish”, then a visibility questions asking like, ”how far were you from this incident”. then a time question asking about times, some like” what time did you arrive and what time did this take place”. For the final two questions I would ask about the people involved and how many, then ending with ”what actions or sounds they saw or heard”giving a brief but good interrogation to grab bits and parts to find out about what happend.
2. What questions might you ask possible suspects? (include at least 5) – I would ask a possible suspect a start of something simple, then going into more serious things like behaviour and post incident credibility, mixed with relationship to the incident. A five question interrogation i would commense would be starting with can you state your full name, adress, and conatct information for the record to low ball then ramp it up with ”where exactly were between (times) and (times) during the day of the incident”, then again ramping up the middle with a question like, ”when was the last time you spoke to or saw them”, and ending both questions by ”asking why do you think someone would say they saw you there.” and ”what did you do right after the incident” to end it off.
3. What types of communication would you use to assist you in solving a crime? (think back to when we discussed verbal and non-verbal communication.)
I would use both verbal and non verbal by actively listening trying to figure out clues while their talking and try to speak in a calm demeaner depending on who I was talking to, while also trying to use structured questioning to give me a baseline on what I am trying to get out of the person with me understanding simple and neat. Then using non verbal I can use their body language to understand if they are calm, stressed or anxious. This would allow me to read if their lying or telling the truth about each sentance they are saying.
4. How might being involved in criminal behavior impact an individual’s Hauora? (cover all 4 areas)
Taha Tinana –
physical violence – high likelihood of physical violence like sustaining injuries, wounds, or permanent trauma from conflicts with different kinds of people.
Substance abuse – things like cocaine, drugs, and alcohol can lead to drastic changes like organ damage and elevated changes of risk when daily consumption.
Taha Hinegaro –
Shame and Guilt – feeling guilty to who you’ve just dragged into the crime could consist of your mother and the authority, using her to get information about you can bring great shame, feeling guilty on what you’ve done.
fear – Living in constant fear of being caught by the police or retaliated against by others creates persistent anxiety and paranoia.
Taha Whanau –
Strained relationships – Trust is destroyed within the family, causing alienation, domestic stress, and shame.
Negative environments – Legitimate social networks are replaced by antisocial or malevolent groups that reinforce harmful habits.
Taha Wairua –
Loss of identity and purpose -Disconnecting from cultural values, societal norms, and positive goals leaves a spiritual gap.
Moral misalignment – Acting in opposition to basic human empathy and communal values creates a profound internal disconnect, leaving the individual feeling spiritually gapped.
5. – Based on what we discussed in class, what are examples of PIS (personal, interpersonal & societal) factors/influences that may lead to someone committing a crime? (include at least 2 from each level). E.g. people in their neighborhood committing a crime.
Personal factors –
Substances – again things like substances, by the types of alcohol can drastically higher the drive to do reckless crimes.
home environments – Growing up with severe family conflict, neglect, or observing violence can make individuals to aggression and reduce emotional regulation.
societal factors –
High neighbourhood crime rates – Living in an area with low collective efficacy, where criminal activity is visible and common, lowers the perceived risk of legal consequences.
interpersonal factors –
Peer pressure and delinquent networks – Associating with friends who engage in anti-social behaviour can normalize or encourage illegal activities to maintain social status.
