Introduction:
Early Bird Correction Agency (EBCA) is based in the region of
the Netherlands within Early Bird locality. Founded by the
federal government, EBCA aims at providing chances to
offenders by teaching them moral values. The institution
4. ensures that individuals convicted do not revolve back to their
previous activities. Measures are taken to train inmates to be
financially stable after their jail term. EBCA has a capacity of
100 inmates and a fluctuating number of staff depending on
their number of inmates. However, the number of staff is
maintained at the ratio of 2 inmates to 1 warden. The major
problem currently in EBCA is the overcrowding. In 2011, the
facility had excess inmates. The number has been on the rise
ever since.
Thornberry’s theory affirms that the correctional facility leads
to the breaking of social bonds (Lilly, et al., 2014). The
friendship of the individual and other members of the society
drops as they go through the delinquency. The bond with other
wayward peers becomes stronger. Also, it has a mutual feedback
on the behavior of the character. In other terms, the more the
crime is committed, the more it alters his/her conduct.
Generally, the theory elaborates the process of beginning and
persistence of the felony. Additionally, the proposition provides
the indication of how the process alters an individual's life
stages. Under the new lifeline, the victim becomes unruly. From
a study carried out, violent interactions indicate a minimum of
45 cases in 2016. Inmates encounter with staff in a disturbing
manner show a minimum of 99 in the same year.
Financial constraints lead an ex-convict to engage in crime.
Agnew argues that the more an individual is strained the more
changes of offending the law (Krohn & Lane, 2015). In EBCA,
the increasing number of inmates can be associated with fiscal
hardships hence opting for the misdeed. The facility should
develop a mechanism that will offer the convicts a commercial
resolution upon completion of the jail term. If the plan turns out
positively, then the chances of the person reappearing in prison
will be minimal. Assessing study, the community reports more
incidences that require the attention of the Agency. The
indication of the matter is that the economy of the area is
performing poorly according to the theory.
Generally, the challenge in EBCA is overpopulation. The
5. mechanism employed should lead to a reduction of inmates.
Mind education for the convicts will lead to the changed heart
and hence changed life desires. Internees are to receive a
motivating power that will help them overcome the desire for
crime. Their mentalities should be open o the imagination of the
greater good rather than the fulfillment of the immediate needs.
Despite the efforts, the government may implement, the
situation is not likely to change. Therefore, the institution
should initiate a program that offers the inmates lectures aiming
at changing their attitude.
The law gives the president power to release some inmates
basing on specific factors. For instance, an inmate that is
remaining with a shorter jail period may receive the absolution.
During the process, a limited number of jailbirds are
exonerated. The amnesty is provided on a special occasion like
the country’s Independence Day. President’s mercy over the
prisoners is a more direct approach to reduce the number of
internees.
The convicts are offered short course training such as tailoring
and carpentry so as to keep them engaged while in jail. This is
aimed at ensuring that upon leaving jail, an individual
comfortably set up a workshop offering a pathway for self-
dependency. Exposure to religious teaching is intended to
change their view respecting the law and order. If a convict is
exposed to playing football and realizes that he/she is talented,
chances are, they may want to pursue the talent instead of
engaging in felon (Mooney, 2017).
The community provides regulations that demand every
individual to respect the law and order. In order to achieve the
goal, youngsters are offered training that will see them grow up
with the desired morals. As a result, the chances that the
individual will engage in the vices are greatly reduced. In
addition, the respect that is directed to the individuals that
adhere to the law and order is meant to psychologically
convince the youth that it is worthwhile to observe the policies
of the land. The proposal majors on providing alternatives to
6. crime. The inmates are compelled to respecting law and order.
Prison education works with the same goal as the proposed
method. Support for community policy structured to prevent
recurrent of the crimes is the same way as the author's idea.
Aspects to be considered during decision-making will be based
on analysis carried out. SWOT analysis can be used to
determine the verdicts that should be taken.
Strength – the facility understudy is a government agency and
hence it will be easy to formulate the policies that will govern
the implementation. Furthermore, the government may offer the
same education to schools to enhance its productivity.
Weakness – the approach tends to cater for the future challenges
but ignore the current problems. Therefore, the method may fail
to resolve the issues being faced by the business in the present
settings.
Opportunity – the resource to implement the proposition are
less. Furthermore, similar projects are already in existence. The
main revenue required will be used to pay the lecturers.
Threat – the project enhances creativity among the inmates.
Should the individual perceive the resolution in a negative way
before completion of the lectures, the situation may worsen.
Literature review:
Graph 1: Number of inmates and reported
incidences vs. time
The graph indicates that the number of inmates is constantly
increasing. Factors of peer influence and financial constraints
seem to be getting in a worse condition. Incidences reported
increased with the increase in the number of inmates. When the
inmates’ number is at maximum, the reported incidences tend to
drop significantly. The occurrences denote that the individuals
creating chaos are the ones in jail. Graph 2: number
of police contact with victims vs. time
As more residents land in prison, the disturbances are reduced
greatly. The same individuals that are unruly in the correction
7. agency bring about the individuals that cause disharmony.
From the research conducted, many ex-convicts fail to secure
jobs in the process of getting back their life. As a result of
feeling stigmatized, they opt to associate with the wrongdoers.
Also, the failure to smoothly fit the society makes the character
angry and hence ends up delighting in crime. When the police
confront an individual, they fail to comply and hence cause
commotion. The research indicated humiliation that the ex-
prisoners have met could alter the feeling of the individual
(LeBel, et al., 2014). Before an inmate is allowed to leave the
facility, he/she should have gained an open mind to create jobs.
The social trait has to be tuned to accept dishonor from the
society.
The overflowing population within EBCA is mainly caused by
limited knowledge in entrepreneur strategies and the social view
of the ex-convict. After being released, the person does not
have a clear mind of what they need to work on. As a result, a
slight disappointment forms toward society, so he/she turns
back to crime. The ideal solution is to educate the inmates to
expect the worse reaction from the society. A new mindset
should help them develop ideas and goals in life. Through the
appropriate utilization of the program, few individuals will
return to crime. Furthermore, the ex-prisoners will influence
other people towards innovation and being independent.

DISCUSSION 1 IN 150 WORDS
9. Cybersecurity can be defined as a set of techniques and
methodologies that are used to protect the data and assure their
integrity from cyber attacks like damage, unauthorized and so
on. Risk management on other hand is techniques used to reduce
the risk which comes from taking any new steps towards the
development of an organization.
The cyber attacks occurring to data in organizations are directly
proportional to increase in cybersecurity risk management. For
enabling the risk management for data that is prone to cyber
attacks first we need to understand which data is needed to be
protected from going to hands of intruders. Even though
National Institute of standards and security sets some standards
but different organizations has its own data security risks and
different technology infrastructures.
Cybersecurity is mainly required for protecting organizational
sensitive data on which the growth of organization relies on,
there are many categories of cyber threats which are formed in a
daily basis but following are some generic terminology cyber
terrorism, cyber warfare, Cyber-espionage. In cyber terrorism
the terrorist group's spy on information which leads to national
security issues and cyber warfare can be a cyber threat where
company information is stolen by other or a nation is stealing
the information of other company and cyber espionage is storing
the information of the owners or the managers by subordinates
Following the CMM approach, the risk management can be done
in following levels. Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed, and
Optimizing.
These levels are followed by many risk management services
like Deloitte, HP enterprise, Coal Fire and more of these
services provide some better mechanism for protecting sensitive
data of an organization.
Cybersecurity is interrelated to risk management. Whenever
there is a threat to data security and integrity both the
cybersecurity and risk management need to work together to
provide complete security to sensitive data of an organization.
10. It just takes cybersecurity related issues and matches it to real-
world risk management ways so that effective solution can be
formed.
As an IT manager, initially, I would check whether there are
any threats to my data, and if running an organization, I would
definitely face data threats as mentioned so I will apply the risk
management services that are provided by HP, KMPG and many
other services depending on the severity of data threat and after
applying these services I would check to maintain cybersecurity
to prevent cyber-crimes relating to data theft.
