These journal entries are meant to help you work through/process what we have talked about in class.
They are also another way for you to show that you are understand the material without just repeating it back to me. You are welcome to free write your journals, but if you need some guidance you may consider the following prompts:

1. What do you think about the risk factors that may contribute to child maltreatment? Do you think that there is something missing? Are they too broad or not broad enough?
2. What were your thoughts/reactions to the different types of fetal abuse?
3.  How are we seeing laws applied now versus how they were originally intended to be applied?
4. Part of what we will discussed this week was cultural variation and taking this into consideration when looking at cases of suspected child maltreatment. What are your thoughts on this and some of the current events that are happening?

• Note that the goal is not necessarily to answer every question, but to go in-depth in your responses. This may mean that you only one or two questions, which is fine.

• Please answer these questions in complete sentences. While it is a short assignment, I do expect that you will respond in the formal/paragraph fashion. Your response should be double-spaced and a minimum of 500 words in length and should follow the assignment guidelines outlined in the syllabus.

• Responses that do not address the prompts or course material in some way or do not meet the assignment guidelines (length and/or formatting), will be graded down accordingly
