    In Benic v New South Wales [2010] NSWSC 1039 the risk of harm was the plaintiff, a police officer, suffering psychiatric injury as a result of receiving a threat to his life in the course of his work. The alleged breach was the failure to provide prompt and appropriate psychological or psychiatric assistance. The court noted that whether the risk was not insignificant was to be analysed from the perspective of the defendant and was to be prospective: at [411]. The evidence was that the Commissioner of Police had taken a series of steps to address stress, including psychiatric illness, amongst police officers. This evidence satisfied Garling J that the risk of psychiatric illness from the defendant’s perspective was not insignificant: at [414]. It was reasoned that the risk of psychiatric harm:…

    Along with the physical damage obtained by the victim’s, mental trauma will be left with those in the accident and also ongoing grief for the family of Bob Winkle. Annie had previous convictions which correlate to this offence, so the sentence she will receive will be because of deterrence and rehabilitation reasons. The purpose of deterrence and rehabilitation is to stabilize Annie’s life and encourage people not to commit crimes again, which seems fit for Annie’s situation. Taking into account Annie’s traumatic experiences of being sexually abused by her father, being a victim of domestic violence from her husband, her attempts at remorse for her alcohol addiction and pleading guilty out of her free will has lead me to my decision of her sentencing. Annie will serve 3 years in jail with a provided rehabilitation program and a non-parole period of 2 years, which is less than the baseline and medium sentence in Victoria regarding culpable driving causing death. Another factor considered whilst convicting Annie was that statistics shows that…

    This approach was related with the psychologist Sigmund Freud. He suggested that the mind is made out of 3 parts the conscious level, preconscious and unconscious level. He believes the unconscious mind is important as many of our memories, feelings and past experiences are locked up in this part. He says we can’t access these contents but they often ‘leak out’ in dreams or by the slip of the tongue whilst talking. According to Freud the conscious mind represents the tip of the iceberg. Most of our experiences and memories are either pre-conscious or unconscious. Unconscious meanings under the surface- hard to reach just like that.There are 6 psychosexual…

    After interviewing and assessing the client is clear that he is still grieving the loss of his daughter and has depression and anxiety issues as a result of the accident. Mr. McCune needs to be further evaluated for medical and neurological problems that may have resulted from the accident. Mr. McCune will also need evaluation for depression and anxiety. He may need medical treatment for these, as they seem to cause him trouble sleeping, irritability, and the fear of being in any mode of transportation. Counseling would be beneficial as it would help Mr. McCune with his grief and being in a support group would help him to interact with other people who have similar situations.…

    How accurate are the profiles? This will obviously depend on the expertise of the persons involved in such an assessment. Kocsis, Orwin, & Hayes (2000) reported that profilers appear to have higher skills when compared to other groups. They claim the most accurate groups are, in order of accuracy: professional profilers, psychologists, students, police officers, and self-declared psychics. That psychologists ranked second in the study suggests that psychologists are better at this endeavor than police officers, perhaps because of their understanding of human behavior. The researchers also reported that psychics are the least reliable of the groups. They apparently depend more on the stereotypes of murderers than of a true understanding of the mind and mentality of a killer. The research also suggests that police probably would do better at profiling if they were educated in the principles of the process (Peterson, 1997). Thus profiling, or criminal investigation assessment, is an educated attempt to provide investigative agencies with specific information as to the type of individual who committed a certain crime (Geberth, 1981). Of course, profiles are not suitable in all cases, even in some murder cases (Holmes & Holmes, 1992, 2000). They are usually more efficacious in cases where the unknown perpetrator has displayed indications of…
