CASE STUDY: An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan

Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nurses, who had a short discussion with them about the services offered. The registered nurse had spent a great deal of her working years as a community health nurse. She informed Mr. and Mrs. Arahan of her availability to help them resolve any health-related issues. Reflective Questions 1. What strategies could be suggested for this older adult couple to enhance their quality of life? 2. What community resources can they utilize? 3. What can the daughter and her family do to address the feelings of isolation of the older couple? 4. What health promotion activities can ensure a healthy lifestyle for them?

You wish to test the basic assumption that the experience of ever being incarcerated has an impact on one’s current income.  In other words, do those who have ever been incarcerated earn more income, less income – or is there any difference at all.

Exercise I  Problem:   For those of you who have taken a course in Corrections, you are probably somewhat aware of the so-called collateral consequences of incarceration – i.e., the costs that go beyond an offender’s direct experience of punishment (e.g., incarceration).  A recent executive summary from the Pew Center (Western & Pettit, 2010) documents that one of those presumed collateral consequences of incarceration is long-term economic prospects in the labor market, and social mobility.  It is positioned that the incarceration stint is a long-term barrier for those offenders (95%) that are returning to society.  As a student of criminal justice and corrections, you decide to test this assumption by using one of the more relevant longitudinal data sets in the field of criminology and the social sciences:  The National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY).  The NLSY data, collected by researchers at THE Ohio State University since its inception in 1979, represents longitudinal data beginning in 1979 (cohort I) and again in 1997 (Cohort II) specifically examines the long-term labor market consequences of experiences during adolescence and young adulthood.  In particular, the NLSY connects data from experiences such as age of first offense/arrest, incarceration, school dropout, to long-term earning potential in the labor market.  You have recently acquired a version of the 1997 NLSY data that follows this sample from adolescence (aged 12-17 at time of initial survey) into young adulthood in 2011.  Using this data, students will be able to test the assumption that the experience of incarceration has long-term ramifications for an individual’s earning potential and social mobility.  The data set – NLSY for Corrections – is ATTACHED! Instructions:  You wish to test the basic assumption that the experience of ever being incarcerated has an impact on one’s current income.  In other words, do those who have ever been incarcerated earn more income, less income – or is there any difference at all.  To answer this question, you will be using two variables within the NLSY.  The first variable,  Incarceration_Prevalence_Dummy is a dummy variable that taps into the lifetime prevalence of incarceration during one’s lifetime (0 = “Never”, 1 = “Yes”.  The second variable, Personal Income ranges from zero to infinity.     In particular, you are testing the null hypothesis that the mean level of income for those who have been incarcerated will be THE SAME as those that have not been incarcerated – i.e., the mean difference between these groups will be insignificant.   Hint:  You are using two variables, so based on Chapter 8 in your SPSS text (23rd edition), you should be familiar with the proper analytical procedure to be employed here. After performing the relevant analysis, you are to answer the following questions:   1.     What is the independent variable here – lifetime incarceration prevalence or current personal income?  Dependent variable?   2.     What is the level of measurement for the variable Incarceration_Prevalence_Dummy?  a.     Is this variable discrete or continuous?  Why?  3.     What is the level of measurement for the variable personal_income?  a.     Is this variable discrete or continuous?  Why?    4.     After performing the relevant analyses (hint:  only one analysis is necessary here), what is your final judgement on the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the mean income of those who have ever been incarcerated versus those who have been incarcerated?  How did you make this determination (what test did you perform, and what tests of significance were employed?)?  a.     Report the means for both attributes of the incarceration dummy.  Is there are a difference?  If so, is the difference statistically significant?     5.     What does this lead you to speculate with regard to the collateral consequences of incarceration?  Are Western and Pettit (2010) on to something here?  Why or why not?    6.     Can we determine anything causal from these results – i.e., can we assume that the prevalence of incarceration has a causal impact on income, based on the statistical analysis that we performed here?  Exercise II   Introduction:   Several recent studies have found that more than half of all crimes in a city are committed in only a few places.  Some criminologists have called these places “hot spots” (Caplan, Kennedy, & Piza, 2013; Carson & Wellman, 2018).  Even within crime-ridden neighborhoods, it has been found that crime clusters at a few locations while others remain relatively free of crime.  The clustering of violent crime at particular locations suggests there are important features of, or key dynamics at, these locations that give rise to frequent violence.  Thus, focused crime-prevention efforts have recently sought to modify these “criminogenic” conditions and reduce violence.   Problem-oriented policing (POP) strategies (similar to community policing) are increasingly used by urban jurisdictions to reduce crime in these “hot spot” crime places.   Problem-oriented policing challenges officers to identify and analyze the causes of problems behind a string of criminal incidents.   Once the underlying conditions that gave rise to crime problems are known, police officers can then implement appropriate responses to reduce crime.   For example, strategies include using community members as information sources to discuss the nature of the problems the community faces, the possible effectiveness of proposed responses, and the assessment of implemented responses.  Other strategies target the social disorder problems inherent in these neighborhoods, such as cleaning up the environment of the place and making physical improvements, securing vacant lots, or removing trash from the street.       Instructions:   As the chief of police in Middletown, you are interested in the efficacy of these policing strategies in reducing acts of violence in neighborhoods plagued by high rates of crime.  The Middletown PD targets 20 neighborhoods within the city and send out teams of community police officers to implement POP strategies in these neighborhoods.  Before the program begins, we obtain the number of arrests for violent offenses (variable pre_pop_arrests)  that were made in each neighborhood within the 60 days prior to program implementation.  After the program has been in place, we again obtain the number of arrests for violent offenses (variable post_pop_arrests) that were made in each
