Review the biopsychosocial (BPS) model. Critically discuss research and evaluate the model’s contribution to understanding OF the following area:
Focus on:
“Preventing a person ‘at risk’ (Children and adolescents) from actually becoming an offender”
Introduction – AVOID
Main Body
Linking the approach (basically the BPS model) described above to the questions itself.
What you want to do is say how this BPS model can tie into this specific topic/question – “Preventing a person ‘at risk’ from actually becoming an offender”.
So, what you want to say is how this particular topic can tie into the model.
Discuss recent research and evaluate the contribution to understanding about why people commit crime. My lecturer is quite specific when it comes to research so she expects most recent research, and only the classical theories (e.g., Bandura) would be ok.
BUT the important part is the second part which is the INTERACTION, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TALK ABOUT THIS INTERACTION.
What the lecturer specifically said she does NOT want us to do is to just talk about all of the bio, psycho, social factors and stop. It is fine to say those things, but the second part is showing how they interact with each other. So, what is the Biopsychosocial theory for this topic, how do the bio psycho and socio factor all link together.
She want us to have at least a couple of examples which show the three way interaction biopsychosocial. For example, is there a particular bio factor that has an affect on certain people more than others, does that have an knock on effect on the psychology of the person (resilience), and social theories.
But there also going to be examples of the two way interaction such as biopsycho or psychosocial.
Explain why these interactions (BPS) are important.
