    • Child and women protection services

    • Leisure enterprises

    • Think tank agencies

    • Correctional services

    Correct Answer
    A. Leisure enterprises
    Explanation
    Leisure enterprises do not engage forensic social workers because their primary focus is on providing recreational activities and entertainment, rather than addressing criminal or social issues. Forensic social workers are typically employed in settings such as child and women protection services, correctional services, and think tank agencies, where they use their expertise to assess and address the psychological and social factors related to crime and victimization.

    • 19th century

    Correct Answer
    A. 19th century
    Explanation
    The individual case work strategy was first adopted in social work in the 19th century. This approach focuses on addressing the specific needs and circumstances of individual clients, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. It involves conducting assessments, developing personalized treatment plans, and providing direct support and interventions to help individuals overcome their challenges and improve their well-being. This approach revolutionized social work by recognizing the importance of individualized care and tailoring interventions to meet the unique needs of each person.

    Which of these disciplines is not related to forensic social work? - ProProfs

    Which of these disciplines is not related to forensic social work?

    • Law

    • Health science

    • Guidance and counselling

    • Psychology 

    Correct Answer
    A. Health science
    Explanation
    Forensic social work is a specialized field that combines social work principles with criminal justice and legal systems. It involves working with individuals involved in legal proceedings or those affected by crime. While law, guidance and counseling, and psychology are all closely related to forensic social work as they provide essential knowledge and skills in understanding legal processes, mental health, and rehabilitation, health science does not directly focus on the legal aspects of social work. Health science primarily deals with the study of health and healthcare, which may include areas such as medicine, nursing, and public health.

    A forensic social worker is concerned with these except which of the following? - ProProfs

    A forensic social worker is concerned with these except which of the following?

    • Domestic violence

    • Poverty

    • Unemployment

    • Peer influence

    Correct Answer
    A. Peer influence
    Explanation
    A forensic social worker is primarily concerned with addressing issues related to domestic violence, poverty, and unemployment. These are all social problems that can have a significant impact on individuals and communities. However, peer influence is not typically a primary focus for forensic social workers. While peer influence can certainly play a role in certain situations, it is not a specific area of expertise for forensic social workers who are more focused on addressing the immediate and long-term effects of domestic violence, poverty, and unemployment.

    When was the first forensic social worker employed in London? - ProProfs

    When was the first forensic social worker employed in London?

    • 1915

    • 1941

    • 1931

    • 1936

    Correct Answer
    A. 1936
    Explanation
    In 1936, the first forensic social worker was employed in London. This suggests that before this year, there was no official role for a forensic social worker in the city. The introduction of a forensic social worker in London in 1936 indicates a recognition of the need for specialized social work in forensic settings, such as prisons or courtrooms. This development likely aimed to provide support and intervention for individuals involved in the criminal justice system, highlighting the growing importance of addressing social factors in the context of crime and rehabilitation.

    What is the intersection of psychology and justice system called?

    • Legal forensics

    • Criminal psychology

    • Forensic sociology

    • Forensic psychology

    Correct Answer
    A. Forensic psychology
    Explanation
    Forensic psychology is the intersection of psychology and the justice system. It involves applying psychological principles and research methods to understand and analyze criminal behavior, evaluate witnesses, and provide expert testimony in court. This field helps in profiling criminals, assessing mental competency, and understanding the psychological factors that contribute to criminal behavior. Legal forensics, criminal psychology, and forensic sociology are related fields, but they do not specifically refer to the intersection of psychology and the justice system.

    • Social services

    • Health industry

    Correct Answer
    A. Governent industry
    Explanation
    The government industry employs fewer forensic social workers compared to other industries. This could be because the government sector may have limited resources and funding allocated for forensic social work positions. Additionally, other industries such as the correctional, social services, and health industries may have a higher demand for forensic social workers due to the nature of their work.

    • Two years

    • Four years

    • Three years

    • Five years

    Correct Answer
    A. Five years
    Explanation
    In Europe, it typically takes five years to become a master's level social worker. This duration allows individuals to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills required for this profession. It involves completing a bachelor's degree in social work, which takes around three years, followed by a two-year master's program. This comprehensive education ensures that social workers are well-prepared to address the complex needs of individuals, families, and communities they serve.

    Which of these is not related to social work? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not related to social work?

    • Law

    • Public health

    • Community development

    • Economics

    Correct Answer
    A. Law
    Explanation
    Law is not directly related to social work as it primarily deals with the legal system and regulations, while social work focuses on addressing social issues, advocating for social justice, and providing support to individuals and communities in need. While social workers may interact with the legal system in some cases, such as advocating for clients or navigating legal processes, law itself is not a core component of social work practice. Public health, community development, and economics, on the other hand, are all closely connected to social work as they involve addressing social determinants of health, promoting community well-being, and understanding the economic factors influencing individuals and communities.
