The post combines three assignments

1:Correlational Designs

Order Description

A correlational design is one of the most often encountered non-experimental (non-causal) quantitative designs. Within correlational designs, an actual experimental condition is non-existent; rather, relationships between variables are explored without a determination of causality. These types of studies are meant to help researchers examine how two or more variables vary in conjunction with each other. Correlational studies can help describe complex relationships among a myriad of variables and are often employed when attempting to determine how a change in one or more variables will co-vary with one or more other variables. Within all correlational studies, causation cannot be assumed, regardless of how strong the correlational evidence.
Using the article by Beauvais, Steward, DeNisco, and Beauvais (2014), prepare a written analysis that addresses the following:
• Determine the general strengths and weaknesses of correlational designs. Based on your findings, identify the strengths and weaknesses of this particular study.
• Explain when a correlational design is most useful in an educational setting, and summarize whether this is an appropriate use of a correlational design in this study. Explain why, and if it is not, recommend a more accurate research design.
• Identify and explain the types of problems correlational designs could best address. Determine if this study’s problem is best addressed by a correlational design.
• Review the research question being asked in this study, and then provide a sample research question corresponding to a different hypothetical correlational design.
Support your assignment with at least this scholarly resource. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages

3: : What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a restorative justice approach to intimate partner violence?

Restorative justice, as an approach to solving intimate partner violence, entails bring together the victim and the offender based on their free consent in order to resolve the matter at hand. This approach has several advantages and disadvantages when attempting to address intimate partner violence. The potential benefits of restorative justice are in terms of material, moral, and symbolic outcomes because they attempt to repair the harm and facilitate the healing process (Latimer et al., 2005). The first advantage of this approach is that it its goal is to provide justice based on a solution achieved by both parties. By summoning the victim and the offender on the basis of their free consent, it is possible to find a long-term solution since the conditions are set and agreed by the parties involved in the intimate partner violence. Second, restorative justice constitutes different approaches, such as victim-offender mediation, circles, and family group conferencing, which facilitate dialogue. Thus, the informal dialogue-based practices of the restorative justice can play a role in addressing domestic violence and the social harms that are inflicted on the victims. Third, restorative justice emphasizes emotional responses to all forms of intimate partner violence based on its discursive nature (Cheon & Regehr, 2006). The purpose of emotionality is to ensure that emotions that lead to remorse, apology, and forgiveness are elicited.

Despite illustrating a number of advantages, restorative justice can be disadvantageous depending on the sincerity of the parties involved. At the outset, offenders in intimate partner violence can demonstrate the tendency to alternate between violent, abusive, and apologetic behavior. This is because they have the habit of providing sincere promises to change and can act in pleasant ways when in fact they do not mean it (Cheon & Regehr, 2006). Another potential disadvantage of restorative justice is its failure to protect offenders from stigmatization from society even after they reconcile with victims (Latimer et al., 2005). It would become difficult for individuals in society to fully accept ex-offenders of crimes such as nonfatal intimate partner violence to reintegrate to society seamlessly without being labeled and associated with crimes they committed to their intimate partners.
