In every other nation, the criminal justice system plays a very huge role in delivering justice and punishing those who break the law. However, all around the globe, there are several issues that almost every other justice system is struggling to deal with. One of the most common issues that are being dealt with is the issue of inordinate/ excessive use of force by law enforcement. In the least technical terms possible, the use of excessive force can be defined as the use of too much force by the police when dealing with people. In most cases, the use of this excess force may end up harming the same people that the police forces are initially supposed to protect. Even though police forces are punishable by the courts of law for use of excessive force, the issue remains one of the major issues that affect the criminal system to date. (Hargreaves‐Heap, 2002).
In the modern day, people tend to think that excessive use of force by police officers is an issue of the past and one that no one should talk about. However, this is not all true as discrimination has not ended but has only evolved. In the old days, policemen mainly used excessive force on people of color or even slaves who at that time did not have rights that could make the officers be punished for doing this. However, in the modern days, the issue has evolved all over the globe, there have been cases where policemen have used excessive force on their subjects regardless of their color. One of the things that have made the issue keep changing is the advancement of technology where police officers are expected to wear body cams that will monitor all their actions while on duty. different amendments that have been made to the constitution with the main aim of empowering people of color.
For quite some time now, people have been fighting against the use of excessive force. However, I believe that recently there might have been a breakthrough all because of technology. technology has changed people's perspectives especially by showing them how brutal police officers can be when they use excessive force. For instance, in the year 2020, a man named George Floyd was murdered by a police officer due to the use of excessive force. The video of the incident went viral and people came together to protest against the issue. This was one of the biggest protests where people protested together regardless of their color, culture, and even location (Hutson, 2009).

Concentric rings of security can be one of the best approach methods to install any security program in its entirety and has been updated by the use of technologies and processes such as CPTED, the understanding of the end product is a not as easy as its name sounds. The use of these differing items can help ball the end product up into the most effective outcome giving the parameters that are directed by those in control and understanding the difference of needs to the area that you are in can make it even better.

This process of concentric rings of security can pinpoint the areas effectiveness and their need for additional security protocols and processes in a given section of the concentric rings.
A reminder in this process, is that the areas’ location can affect the total situations needed to be put into place in the areas in question. The targeted secure item needs to heave different technology and stricter procedures than someone entering into the perimeter of a complex. Things like the use of Identification card scanners might work in the lower ring or outer ring, but the more you peel back the rings and go deeper this would not be an effective deterrent into the inner most ring that would be beneficial to the person entering into it, and not the company protecting it.

MacArthur and Associates is a business solutions organization. The company was founded in 1962 and is celebrating 50 years in business. The company started as a small temporary personnel firm. Eventually, the company expanded into a firm that specializes in staffing, contract IT services, equipment leasing, and HR services. The company is privately held by the MacArthur family. The founder’s son is currently the CEO and daughter is the CFO. Both the son and daughter were brought up in the firm and assumed their positions when their father retired 10 years ago.
MacArthur and Associates has regional offices in most states and the corporate office is located in Dallas, Texas. MacArthur provides services to approximately 5000 businesses nationally catering to the small and medium sized businesses with revenues under $100,000,000. MacArthur provides services through either their staff or personnel of around 20,000 temporary and fulltime service providers. Full-time employees number at 500 nationally.
The company is financially sound and has traditionally small to moderate growth annually. At 50 years old, the company is positioned to make significant growth. MacArthur is looking to improve performance as well as their ability to function as a learning organization. You (the leader) and your team have been hired as consultants to assist them with making the necessary changes. Apply the theories, concepts, and applications you learned throughout the course. Feel free to incorporate other components that will realistically improve the scenario. You will present the top three models for them to consider. Include your ethical guidelines as a consultant.

Abstract Organizations providing services to persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) are complex because of many interacting
stakeholders with often different and competing interests. The combination of increased consumer demand and diminished resources
makes organizational planning a challenge for the managers of such organizations. Such challenges are confounded by significant
demands for the optimization of resources and the goal to reduce expenses and to more effectively and efficiently use existing
resources while at the same time providing high quality services. The authors explore the possibilities of using “system dynamics
modelling” in organizational decision-making processes related to resource allocations. System dynamics suggests the application of
generic systems archetypes as a first step in interpreting complex situations in an organization. The authors illustrate the application
of this method via a case study in one provider organization in the Netherlands. The authors contend that such a modeling approach
can be used by the management of similar organizations serving people with ID as a tool to support decision making that can result
in optimal resource allocation.
Keywords: allocation of resources, intellectual disabilities, system dynamics modeling, systems thinking, waiting lists
INTRODUCTION
Healthcare organizations are complex entities as they have
multiple stakeholders with often conflicting objectives and goals
(Drucker, 1993). Provider organizations specializing in intellec-
tual disabilities (ID) are also complex because of the nature of the
care and supports they provide and how they are organized. Some
of the complexities relate to the difficulties that adults with ID
might have in expressing themselves. Moreover, the specifics of
the care often require a deeper involvement of carers with respect
to their relationships with families and other sectors of society.
Because of their complexity, ID provider organizations, com-
pared with healthcare providers, often require a higher level of
resource planning, collaboration, and cooperation among social,
health, and education services, mental health services, and other
sectors (WHO, 2010).
To manage the complexities and challenges ID provider orga-
nizations face, managers need to analyze and understand complex
interdependencies among the systems with which they are dealing.
In order to achieve that, ID provider managers need to examine
and shift their mental models regarding their role in managing
the organization and in establishing relationships with all the
stakeholders involved. However, as Forrester (1980) has noted,

Dynamic IT Values and Relationships: A Sociomaterial PerspectiveLeon Dohmen
Management scholars are criticized for ignorance and the wrong approach when studying the impact of technology in organizational life. Impact of technology in this paper is interpreted as IT values created or achieved from equivalent and contingent interaction between human (people) and non-human agents (technology, organization). Researchers and theorists propose to include a sociomaterial perspective and to develop general and broader, empirical based patterns across different contexts. Based on a literature review containing publications of theoretical considerations and empirical research this paper introduces a first general and sociomaterial based overview and taxonomy of IT values and their relations. IT values have a techno-economic or socio-techno orientation, are dynamically entangled and competitive, and complementary or overlapping. IT values are related to time, sponsor and, hierarchy. The identified IT values are ordered into a framework which has to be treated as a starting point to discuss further the definition, dynamics and relations of IT values from a sociomaterial perspective.

demands for the optimization of resources and the goal to reduce expenses and to more effectively and efficiently use existing
resources while at the same time providing high quality services. The authors explore the possibilities of using “system dynamics
modelling” in organizational decision-making processes related to resource allocations. System dynamics suggests the application of
generic systems archetypes as a first step in interpreting complex situations in an organization. The authors illustrate the application
of this method via a case study in one provider organization in the Netherlands. The authors contend that such a modeling approach
can be used by the management of similar organizations serving people with ID as a tool to support decision making that can result
in optimal resource allocation.

INTRODUCTION
Healthcare organizations are complex entities as they have
multiple stakeholders with often conflicting objectives and goals
(Drucker, 1993). Provider organizations specializing in intellec-
tual disabilities (ID) are also complex because of the nature of the
care and supports they provide and how they are organized. Some
of the complexities relate to the difficulties that adults with ID
might have in expressing themselves. Moreover, the specifics of
the care often require a deeper involvement of carers with respect
to their relationships with families and other sectors of society.
Because of their complexity, ID provider organizations, com-
pared with healthcare providers, often require a higher level of
resource planning, collaboration, and cooperation among social,
health, and education services, mental health services, and other
sectors (WHO, 2010).
To manage the complexities and challenges ID provider orga-
nizations face, managers need to analyze and understand complex
interdependencies among the systems with which they are dealing.
In order to achieve that, ID provider managers need to examine
and shift their mental models regarding their role in managing
the organization and in establishing relationships with all the
stakeholders involved. However, as Forrester (1980) has noted,

Dynamic IT Values and Relationships: A Sociomaterial PerspectiveLeon Dohmen
Management scholars are criticized for ignorance and the wrong approach when studying the impact of technology in organizational life. Impact of technology in this paper is interpreted as IT values created or achieved from equivalent and contingent interaction between human (people) and non-human agents (technology, organization). Researchers and theorists propose to include a sociomaterial perspective and to develop general and broader, empirical based patterns across different contexts. Based on a literature review containing publications of theoretical considerations and empirical research this paper introduces a first general and sociomaterial based overview and taxonomy of IT values and their relations. IT values have a techno-economic or socio-techno orientation, are dynamically entangled and competitive, and complementary or overlapping. IT values are related to time, sponsor and, hierarchy. The identified IT values are ordered into a framework which has to be treated as a starting point to discuss further the definition, dynamics and relations of IT values from a sociomaterial perspective.

Good job on the paper. My dissertation was on workplace bullying and often the leadership style associated with bullying is the authoritative/coercive style. The authoritative/coercive management philosophy uses fear as a prime motivator (Singh, 2009). This philosophy convinces subordinates that a loss of privileges, rewards, promotion, credit, or wage will occur if they fail to comply (Singh, 2009).
However, Laissez-faire managers provide inactivity in policing bullying tactics and therefore become passive accomplices. Laissez-faire managers inadvertently support bullying through unresponsiveness in correcting the behavior (Namie & Lutgen-Sandvik, 2010). A study by Skogstad, Einarsen, Torsheim, Aasland, and Hetland (2007) supported the notion that a laissez-faire leadership style provides fertile ground for bullying between coworkers though the creation of a social climate characterized by high levels of interpersonal conflicts and role stress. Furthermore, the study by Skogstad et al. (2007) indicated that laissez-faire leadership might be more of a counterproductive leadership style than a zero type of leadership style, associated with a stressful environment characterized by high levels of role stress and interpersonal conflicts.

MULTI-AGENT PARADIGM FOR LEADERSHIP SELECTION: A REVIEWEditor IJMTER
A Multi-agent System (MAS) is comprised of multiple interacting intelligent agents. Agents
in the MAS could all be of same type (homogeneous) or different (heterogeneous). MAS are used to
solve problems which are either difficult for an individual agent to solve or when the problem is
inherently comprised of multiple actors interacting together. However, the nature of MAS design
coordination among agents in MAS is always a core issue. Coordination and cooperation allows the
agents to manage their inter dependencies and the type and nature of interactions. Coordination and
cooperation differ in degree of inter-agent knowledge and beliefs. Agent coordination is usually
achieved in the backdrop of a communication system between agents. This paper is a based on the
review of various work on selection of multi-agent for various task domain.

Literature review on how Information Technology has impacted governing bodies’ ability to align public policy with stakeholder needs
Nowadays, the governing bodies both in public and private sectors are dealing with complex systems on a day to day operations. These systems are made up of different components which present varying interactions and interrelationships with and/or among each other; therefore, making their management to be difficult or challenging. Indeed, Ruiz, Zabaleta & Elorza (2016), highlighted that public policymakers have to deal with complex systems which involve heterogeneous agents that act in non-linear behaviors making their management difficult. Neziraj & Shaqiri (2018) also stated that the policymakers are faced with problems which are complex and non-uniform due to a lot of uncertainties and risk situ.

The impact of Big Data on World Class Sustainable Manufacturing
Abstract
Big data (BD) has attracted increasing attention from both academics and
practitioners. This paper aims at illustrating the role of Big Data analytics in
supporting world-class sustainable manufacturing (WCSM). Using an extensive
literature review to identify different factors that enable the achievement of
WCSM through BD and 405 usable responses from senior managers gathered
through social networking sites (SNS), we propose a conceptual framework that
summarizes this role, test this framework using data which is heterogeneous,
diverse, voluminous, and possess high velocity, and highlight the importance
for academia and practice. Finally we conclude our research findings and
further outlined future research directions.
Key words: Big Data, World Class Sustainable Manufacturing, Social
Networking Site, Confirmatory factor Analysis, Sustainable Manufacturing.
1. Introduction
In recent years Big Data Analytics (BDA) has been an important subject of
debate among academics and practitioners. McKinsey Global Institute has
predicted that by 2018 the BDA needs for the United States alone will be more
than 1.5 million managers who need to possess skills in analyzing Big Data for
effective decision making. In developing countries, in the recent 13th
Confederation of Indian Industries manufacturing summit, BDA was at the
forefront of discussions among manufacturing professionals in India. The
Internet of things (IOT) and big data & predictive analytics are now within the
reach of the operations management community to begin to explore, with the
potential for measurable and meaningful impacts on the life of people in the
2
developing world (Accenture, 2013). On the other hand, thinkers such as
Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb, in his interview in the Economic Times
highlighted the impacts of BD, but was skeptical about its success.
The literature on the role of BDA in Operations and Supply Chain Management
(OM/SCM) (for example Wamba et al., 2015) has argued for benefits from its
use, including, inter alia, 15-20% increase in ROI (Perrey et al., 2013),
productivity and competitiveness for companies and public se ...

Sustainability discourse is becoming ubiquitous. Still, a significant gap persists between
corporate sustainability talk and practice. Prior research on corporate sustainability report-
ing has relied primarily on two competing theoretical framings, signaling theory and legit-
imacy theory, which often produce contradictory results regarding the significance and
effects of such disclosures. Thus, despite this substantial body of research, the role that sus-
tainability disclosures can play in any transition toward a less unsustainable society
remains unclear. In an effort to advance our collective understanding of voluntary corpo-
rate sustainability reporting, we propose a richer and more nuanced theoretical lens by
drawing on prior work in organized hypocrisy (Brunsson, 1989) and organizational façades
(Abrahamson & Baumard, 2008; Nystrom & Strabuck, 1984). We argue that contradictory
societal and institutional pressures, in essence, require organizations to engage in hypoc-
risy and develop façades, thereby severely limiting the prospects that sustainability reports
will ever evolve into substantive disclosures. To illustrate the use of these theoretical con-
cepts, we employ them to examine the talk, decisions, and actions of two highly visible
U.S.-based multinational oil and gas corporations during the time period of significant
national debate over oil exploration in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. We conclude
that the concepts of organizational façade and organized hypocrisy are beneficial to the
sustainability disclosure literature because they provide theoretical space to more formally
acknowledge and incorporate how the prevailing economic system and conflicting stake-
holder demands constrain the action choices of individual corporations.

Define crime, criminality, and criminal justice
A crime is any serious or harmful act of an individual against the public which is punishable by law where one might be required to pay fine or face a
jail term that is commensurable with the amount of crime committed. Criminality is a behaviour or a condition which constitutes a crime. Criminality
constitutes actions or behaviours which are forbidden by criminal law. Elsewhere, criminal justice is a system used by governments to identify
crimes and criminals in the society, apprehend, prosecute and sentence them to a specified amount of time depending on the gravity of the crime
committed (Cole & Smith, 2018 ). Criminal justice is comprised of the law enforcement agents, the courts of law and the correction facilities
What is the difference between deviance and criminality? Deviance is the violation of social norms, while criminality is the violation of the law of the
land which is punishable by fines or imprisonment. Deviant behaviours are controlled by social pressures and the fear of God, whereas the judiciary
and the policies control criminality in the judicial system. Moreover, the society lacks coercive powers to deal with deviance within its midst, whereas
the governments have powers to punish and control criminality (Winfree & Abadinsky, 2016). Define the deterrence theory. Deterrence theory is a
criminal justice theory which states that people get discouraged from comm.

Risk management plays a vital role in effectively operating supply chains in the presence of a variety of uncertainties.
Over the years, many researchers have focused on supply chain risk management (SCRM) by contributing in the areas
of defining, operationalising and mitigating risks. In this paper, we review and synthesise the extant literature in SCRM
in the past decade in a comprehensive manner. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we present and categorise
SCRM research appearing between 2003 and 2013. Second, we undertake a detailed review associated with research
developments in supply chain risk definit ...

ndividual Factors:
•Mental health or addiction issues: Underlying mental health problems
or substance abuse can contribute to criminal behavior. With
treatment, these issues can make it difficult to develop impulse control
or make positive life choices.
•Lack of opportunity: Limited access to education, employment, or
social support can make it hard to find legitimate ways to make a living,
pushing some back to crime.
•Socialization and environment: Growing up in a high-crime
environment or associating with criminals can normalize criminal
behavior and make it seem like the only option.

Research Summary:
This paper provides the first national description of Compstat pro-
grams, considered in the framework of strategic problem solving. Rely-
ing on a survey of American police departments conducted by the
Police Foundation, we examine the diffusion of Compstat programs
and the nature of Compstat models throughout the United States. We
also assess the penetration of models of strategic problem solving more
generally into American policing. Our findings document a process of
"diffusion of innovation" of Compstat-like programs in larger police
agencies that follows a rapid pace. At the same time, our data suggest
that many elements of strategic problem solving had begun to be imple-
mented more widely across American police agencies before the emer-
gence of Compstat as a programmatic entity, and that such elements

Cybersecurity Act of 2015
, address the private/public partnership with the DHS National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), arguably the most important aspect of the act. The Cybersecurity Act of 2015 allows for private and public sharing of cybersecurity threat information.
What should the DHS NCCIC (public) share with private sector organizations? What type of threat information would enable private organizations to better secure their networks?
On the flip side, what should private organizations share with the NCCIC? As it is written, private organization sharing is completely voluntary. Should this be mandatory? If so, what are the implications to the customers' private data?
The government is not allowed to collect data on citizens. How should the act be updated to make it better and more value-added for the public-private partnership in regards to cybersecurity?

Children have always contributed to the total number of migrants crossing the southern border of the United States illegally, but in 2014, a steady overall increase in unaccompanied minors from Central America reached crisis proportions when tens of thousands of children from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras crossed the Rio Grande and overwhelmed border patrols and local infrastructure (Dart 2014).
Since legislators passed the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 in the last days of the Bush administration, unaccompanied minors from countries that do not share a border with the United States are guaranteed a hearing with an immigration judge where they may request asylum based on a “credible” fear of persecution or torture (U.S. Congress 2008). In some cases, these children are looking for relatives and can be placed with family while awaiting a hearing on their immigration status; in other cases, they are held in processing centers until the Department of Health and Human Services makes other arrangements (Popescu 2014).
The 2014 surge placed such a strain on state resources that Texas began transferring the children to Immigration and Naturalization facilities in California and elsewhere, without incident for the most part. On July 1, 2014, however, buses carrying the migrant children were blocked by protesters in Murrietta, California, who chanted, "Go home" and "We don’t want you.” (Fox News and Associated Press 2014; Reyes 2014).
A functional perspective theorist might focus on the dysfunctions caused by the sudden influx of underage asylum seekers, while a conflict perspective theorist might look at the way social stratification influences how the members of a developed country are treating the lower-status migrants from less-developed countries in Latin America. An interactionist theorist might see the significance in the attitude of the Murrietta protesters toward the migrant children.
Respond to the following questions in a 350-word essay using 12 point times new roman font double spaced: Given the fact that these children are fleeing various kinds of violence and extreme poverty, how should the U.S. government respond? Should the government pass laws granting a general amnesty? Or should it follow a zero-tolerance policy, automatically returning any and all unaccompanied minor migrants to their countries of origin so as to discourage additional immigration tha.

Good job on the paper. My dissertation was on workplace bullying and often the leadership style associated with bullying is the authoritative/coercive style. The authoritative/coercive management philosophy uses fear as a prime motivator (Singh, 2009). This philosophy convinces subordinates that a loss of privileges, rewards, promotion, credit, or wage will occur if they fail to comply (Singh, 2009).
However, Laissez-faire managers provide inactivity in policing bullying tactics and therefore become passive accomplices. Laissez-faire managers inadvertently support bullying through unresponsiveness in correcting the behavior (Namie & Lutgen-Sandvik, 2010). A study by Skogstad, Einarsen, Torsheim, Aasland, and Hetland (2007) supported the notion that a laissez-faire leadership style provides fertile ground for bullying between coworkers though the creation of a social climate characterized by high levels of interpersonal conflicts and role stress. Furthermore, the study by Skogstad et al. (2007) indicated that laissez-faire leadership might be more of a counterproductive leadership style than a zero type of leadership style, associated with a stressful environment characterized by high levels of role stress and interpersonal conflicts.

MULTI-AGENT PARADIGM FOR LEADERSHIP SELECTION: A REVIEWEditor IJMTER
A Multi-agent System (MAS) is comprised of multiple interacting intelligent agents. Agents
in the MAS could all be of same type (homogeneous) or different (heterogeneous). MAS are used to
solve problems which are either difficult for an individual agent to solve or when the problem is
inherently comprised of multiple actors interacting together. However, the nature of MAS design
coordination among agents in MAS is always a core issue. Coordination and cooperation allows the
agents to manage their inter dependencies and the type and nature of interactions. Coordination and
cooperation differ in degree of inter-agent knowledge and beliefs. Agent coordination is usually
achieved in the backdrop of a communication system between agents. This paper is a based on the
review of various work on selection of multi-agent for various task domain.

The impact of Big Data on World Class Sustainable Manufacturing
Abstract
Big data (BD) has attracted increasing attention from both academics and
practitioners. This paper aims at illustrating the role of Big Data analytics in
supporting world-class sustainable manufacturing (WCSM). Using an extensive
literature review to identify different factors that enable the achievement of
WCSM through BD and 405 usable responses from senior managers gathered
through social networking sites (SNS), we propose a conceptual framework that
summarizes this role, test this framework using data which is heterogeneous,
diverse, voluminous, and possess high velocity, and highlight the importance
for academia and practice. Finally we conclude our research findings and
further outlined future research directions.
Key words: Big Data, World Class Sustainable Manufacturing, Social
Networking Site, Confirmatory factor Analysis, Sustainable Manufacturing.
1. Introduction
In recent years Big Data Analytics (BDA) has been an important subject of
debate among academics and practitioners. McKinsey Global Institute has
predicted that by 2018 the BDA needs for the United States alone will be more
than 1.5 million managers who need to possess skills in analyzing Big Data for
effective decision making. In developing countries, in the recent 13th
Confederation of Indian Industries manufacturing summit, BDA was at the
forefront of discussions among manufacturing professionals in India. The
Internet of things (IOT) and big data & predictive analytics are now within the
reach of the operations management community to begin to explore, with the
potential for measurable and meaningful impacts on the life of people in the
2
developing world (Accenture, 2013). On the other hand, thinkers such as
Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb, in his interview in the Economic Times
highlighted the impacts of BD, but was skeptical about its success.
The literature on the role of BDA in Operations and Supply Chain Management
(OM/SCM) (for example Wamba et al., 2015) has argued for benefits from its
use, including, inter alia, 15-20% increase in ROI (Perrey et al., 2013),
productivity and competitiveness for companies and public se ...

Sustainability discourse is becoming ubiquitous. Still, a significant gap persists between
corporate sustainability talk and practice. Prior research on corporate sustainability report-
ing has relied primarily on two competing theoretical framings, signaling theory and legit-
imacy theory, which often produce contradictory results regarding the significance and
effects of such disclosures. Thus, despite this substantial body of research, the role that sus-
tainability disclosures can play in any transition toward a less unsustainable society
remains unclear. In an effort to advance our collective understanding of voluntary corpo-
rate sustainability reporting, we propose a richer and more nuanced theoretical lens by
drawing on prior work in organized hypocrisy (Brunsson, 1989) and organizational façades
(Abrahamson & Baumard, 2008; Nystrom & Strabuck, 1984). We argue that contradictory
societal and institutional pressures, in essence, require organizations to engage in hypoc-
risy and develop façades, thereby severely limiting the prospects that sustainability reports
will ever evolve into substantive disclosures. To illustrate the use of these theoretical con-
cepts, we employ them to examine the talk, decisions, and actions of two highly visible
U.S.-based multinational oil and gas corporations during the time period of significant
national debate over oil exploration in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. We conclude
that the concepts of organizational façade and organized hypocrisy are beneficial to the
sustainability disclosure literature because they provide theoretical space to more formally
acknowledge and incorporate how the prevailing economic system and conflicting stake-
holder demands constrain the action choices of individual corporations.

Define crime, criminality, and criminal justice
A crime is any serious or harmful act of an individual against the public which is punishable by law where one might be required to pay fine or face a
jail term that is commensurable with the amount of crime committed. Criminality is a behaviour or a condition which constitutes a crime. Criminality
constitutes actions or behaviours which are forbidden by criminal law. Elsewhere, criminal justice is a system used by governments to identify
crimes and criminals in the society, apprehend, prosecute and sentence them to a specified amount of time depending on the gravity of the crime
committed (Cole & Smith, 2018 ). Criminal justice is comprised of the law enforcement agents, the courts of law and the correction facilities
What is the difference between deviance and criminality? Deviance is the violation of social norms, while criminality is the violation of the law of the
land which is punishable by fines or imprisonment. Deviant behaviours are controlled by social pressures and the fear of God, whereas the judiciary
and the policies control criminality in the judicial system. Moreover, the society lacks coercive powers to deal with deviance within its midst, whereas
the governments have powers to punish and control criminality (Winfree & Abadinsky, 2016). Define the deterrence theory. Deterrence theory is a
criminal justice theory which states that people get discouraged from comm.

Risk management plays a vital role in effectively operating supply chains in the presence of a variety of uncertainties.
Over the years, many researchers have focused on supply chain risk management (SCRM) by contributing in the areas
of defining, operationalising and mitigating risks. In this paper, we review and synthesise the extant literature in SCRM
in the past decade in a comprehensive manner. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we present and categorise
SCRM research appearing between 2003 and 2013. Second, we undertake a detailed review associated with research
developments in supply chain risk definit ...

ndividual Factors:
•Mental health or addiction issues: Underlying mental health problems
or substance abuse can contribute to criminal behavior. With
treatment, these issues can make it difficult to develop impulse control
or make positive life choices.
•Lack of opportunity: Limited access to education, employment, or
social support can make it hard to find legitimate ways to make a living,
pushing some back to crime.
•Socialization and environment: Growing up in a high-crime
environment or associating with criminals can normalize criminal
behavior and make it seem like the only option.
There are severalreasons why people might not change their
criminal behavior after convictions:

Research Summary:
This paper provides the first national description of Compstat pro-
grams, considered in the framework of strategic problem solving. Rely-
ing on a survey of American police departments conducted by the
Police Foundation, we examine the diffusion of Compstat programs
and the nature of Compstat models throughout the United States. We
also assess the penetration of models of strategic problem solving more

After reading the
Cybersecurity Act of 2015
, address the private/public partnership with the DHS National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), arguably the most important aspect of the act. The Cybersecurity Act of 2015 allows for private and public sharing of cybersecurity threat information.
What should the DHS NCCIC (public) share with private sector organizations? What type of threat information would enable private organizations to better secure their networks?
On the flip side, what should private organizations share with the NCCIC? As it is written, private organization sharing is completely voluntary. Should this be mandatory? If so, what are the implications to the customers' private data?
The government is not allowed to collect data on citizens. How should the act be updated to make it better and more value-added for the public-private partnership in regards to cybersecurity?

Children have always contributed to the total number of migrants crossing the southern border of the United States illegally, but in 2014, a steady overall increase in unaccompanied minors from Central America reached crisis proportions when tens of thousands of children from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras crossed the Rio Grande and overwhelmed border patrols and local infrastructure (Dart 2014).
Since legislators passed the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 in the last days of the Bush administration, unaccompanied minors from countries that do not share a border with the United States are guaranteed a hearing with an immigration judge where they may request asylum based on a “credible” fear of persecution or torture (U.S. Congress 2008). In some cases, these children are looking for relatives and can be placed with family while awaiting a hearing on their immigration status; in other cases, they are held in processing centers until the Department of Health and Human Services makes other arrangements (Popescu 2014).
The 2014 surge placed such a strain on state resources that Texas began transferring the children to Immigration and Naturalization facilities in California and elsewhere, without incident for the most part. On July 1, 2014, however, buses carrying the migrant children were blocked by protesters in Murrietta, California, who chanted, "Go home" and "We don’t want you.” (Fox News and Associated Press 2014; Reyes 2014).
A functional perspective theorist might focus on the dysfunctions caused by the sudden influx of underage asylum seekers, while a conflict perspective theorist might look at the way social stratification influences how the members of a developed country are treating the lower-status migrants from less-developed countries in Latin America. An interactionist theorist might see the significance in the attitude of the Murrietta protesters toward the migrant children.
Respond to the following questions in a 350-word essay using 12 point times new roman font double spaced: Given the fact that these children are fleeing various kinds of violence and extreme poverty, how should the U.S. government respond? Should the government pass laws granting a general amnesty? Or should it follow a zero-tolerance policy, automatically returning any and all unaccompanied minor migrants to their countries of origin so as to discourage additional immigration tha.

COMMUNICATION CLOSE-UP AT
Kaiser Permanente
kp.org (http://kp.org)
Delivering quality health care is dif�icult enough, given the complexities of technology, government regulations, evolving scienti�ic and medical understanding, and
the variability of human performance. It gets even more daunting when you add the challenges of communication among medical staff and between patients and
their caregivers, which often takes place under stressful circumstances. Those communication efforts are challenging enough in an environment where everyone
speaks the same language and feels at home in a single cultural context—but they’re in�initely more complex in the United States, whose residents identify with
dozens of different cultures and speak several hundred languages.
The Oakland-based health-care system Kaiser Permanente has been embracing the challenges and opportunities of diversity since its founding in 1945. It made a
strong statement with its very �irst hospital when it refused to follow the then-common practice of segregating patients by race. Now, as the largest not-for-pro�it
health system in the United States, Kaiser’s client base includes more than 10 million members from over 100 distinct cultures.
At the core of Kaiser’s approach is culturally competent care, which it de�ines as “health care that acknowledges cultural diversity in the clinical setting, respects
members’ beliefs and practices, and ensures that cultural needs are considered and respected at every point of contact.” These priorities.

Working thesis statement
- “Woman with a Parasol” is also called “The Stroll”. Painted 1875 (art, n.d.) in France Argenteuil; The character in the paint are Monet’s wife Camille Monet and his 7-year-old son.
- This paint was finished within a day; he was using the fast-visible brushstrokes to create this work. This work witnessed that Monet got away from the Academy style. (Gallery, n.d.) The theme of the paint is one of kind. (Proving the impressionism)
- “Woman with a Parasol” was exhibited in second impressionist exhibition, 1876. (Art)
- The theme and environment in the paint earned many claps and praises. The whole image provides people with a feeling of freedom and kind. (Art, nga.gov, n.d.)
The controversy parts.
· How much contribution that this paint did to the modern art world.
· The affections about the theme in this paint.
· The viewer nowadays is judging the art value of this paint.
Those controversy parts about the paint were making a progress in modern art and improve the development of art.

Background
The research focuses on investigating leaders from highly rated managed care organizations based on their leadership practices in comparison to leaders from low rated managed care organizations. High rated organizations are managed care organizations who have attained either 4.5 or 5 Medicare Stars ratings whiles low ratings organizations are organizations who have attained 3 Stars or less.
The research design: Survey was sent to leaders from both high Medicare rated and low rated organizations. I believe I have enough sample size so the result will be significant. I have received 35 response from leaders from high rated organizations and 35 from low rated organizations (35 participants each responded, making 70 participants in total). The goal is to find out if there is a significant difference in leadership practice between leaders from highly rated organizations and low rated organizations.
The survey tool used is Leadership Practice Inventory (LPI), which has a total of 30 behavioral statements that reflect on the practices leaders regularly use in managing their organizations. The leaders were invited to complete the survey online. The 30 survey questions are grouped in 5 Models:
1. Model the Way
1. Inspire a Shared Vision
1. Challenge the Process
1. Enable Others to Act
1. Encourage the Heart
The participants completed the LPI self-test, where they must rate themselves depending on the frequency, which they believe in engaging in each of the five models. They rate themselves on a 10 point likert scale, below.
1-Almost Never
3-Seldom
5-Occasionally
7-Fairly Often
9-Very Frequently
2-Rarely
4-Once in a While
6-Sometimes
8-Usually
10-Almost always
1. Dependent Variable: Attaining high Overall Medicare Star Rating
1. Independent Variables:
1. Leadership practice Practices (Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart)
1. Years of Experience
1. Leadership Style
Abbreviations meaning:
LP- Leadership Practice
MSR – Medicare Stars Ratings
MSROs – Medicare Stars Ratings Organizations
YoE – Years of Experience
The following hypotheses has been tested, analyzed (page 4-23). SPSS software was used for data analysis.
Hypothesis 1 - There is a significant difference in LP between leaders from high (4.5 or 5) MSROs and low (3 Stars or less) MSROs.
Hypothesis 2 – There is a strong relationship between MSRs and the LP of both high and low MSROs
Hypothesis 3 - In comparison to other 4 models (thus Model the Way, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, Encourage the Hearts), practicing the “Inspire A Shared Vision” model is very significant in helping leaders influence the attainment of high MSR in MCOs.
Hypothesis 4 – The leaders’ leadership style contributes to a leader’s ability to influence the achievement of high Medicare ratings for MCO.
Hypothesis 5 – The Leaders’ of Years of Experience (YoE) is effective in enabling leaders influence the attainment o.

Interest Paper- Mental Health in Student Athletes
I am a communication major so must take this class to fulfill my requirements for the course, however, this class will set me up to understand the in-depth reasoning behind communication. The only rhetoric class I have taken in the past is rhetoric in English, not communication; I learnt about Plato, Socrates and all the pervious rhetors that formed the basis on how we communicate today. You could argue that learning it in English and now in communication it could be very similar or the same, but we aren’t focusing on what they wrote or spoke of but why and how. In this paper I chose to analyze a TedX talk from a student athlete Victoria Garrick called ‘Athletes and mental Health: The hidden opponent’, it discusses the challenges that she faced with mental health, and the struggles maintaining a top sport on a colligate team. The reasons behind this are based on the broad ideas and opinions people have on student athletes and mental health separately and together.
College athletics is a huge industry, an incredible achievement to get into a division 1 college on an athletic scholarship, but behind all this there are some dark truths. The TedX talk from Victoria Garrick explains these truths from an athlete’s perspective, this is conflicting to the ideas that an average student or outsider has, it explains what is happening behind closed doors. This artifact was gripping to me, it is something that I completely relate too; the artifact itself is a more personal approach to understand what is happening in regard to mental health in student athletes than just reading an article online. To me personally it is easier to find an artifact that I can easily relate too, something that is grossly underappreciated and classed as embarrassing, such a topic as mental health. There were no obstacles in retrieving artifacts for this interest, it is such a broad area that I am interested in finding more information about. There are artifacts everywhere about topics such as this, articles, speeches, documentaries, all gripping a relatable.
In this class I am aware that I have much to learn, understand the way in which we communicate and why, the best ways to communicate, and the best evidence and artifacts to find for a specific topic. Finding an artifact for a topic that you are deeply invested in is different than having to find one that your heart isn’t in. With regards to this paper I am already thinking about ideas of where I can focus my information on next, where can I understand different political views behind this topic? What are the families of these student athletes going through? Mental health and student athletes separately. With regards to this class I would like to be able to find these sources and write about them in a way that grips a reader and helps me understand the reasoning behind such communication methods.

From On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life, by Friedrich Nietzsche (1874)
Section 1:
CONSIDER the herds that are feeding yonder: they know not the meaning of yesterday or to-day; they graze and ruminate, move or rest, from morning to night, from day to day, taken up with their little loves and hates, at the mercy of the moment, feeling neither melancholy nor satiety. Man cannot see them without regret, for even in the pride of his humanity he looks enviously on the beast's happiness. He wishes simply to live without satiety or pain, like the beast; yet it is all in vain, for he will not change places with it. He may ask the beast—"Why do you look at me and not speak to me of your happiness?" The beast wants to answer—"Because I always forget what I wished to say": but he forgets this answer too, and is silent; and the man is left to wonder.
He wonders also about himself, that he cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he run, that chain runs with him. It is matter for wonder: the moment, that is here and gone, that was nothing before and nothing after, returns like a spectre to trouble the quiet of a later moment. A leaf is continually dropping out of the volume of time and fluttering away and suddenly it flutters back into the man's lap. Then he says, "I remember . . . ," and envies the beast, that forgets at once, and sees every moment really die, sink into night and mist, extinguished for ever. The beast lives unhistorically; for it "goes into" the present, like a number, without leaving any curious remainder. It cannot dissimulate, it conceals nothing; at every moment it seems what it actually is, and thus can be nothing that is not honest. But man is always resisting the great and continually increasing weight of the past; it presses him down, and bows his shoulders; he travels with a dark invisible burden that he can plausibly disown, and is only too glad to disown in converse with his fellows—in order to excite their envy. And so it hurts him, like the thought of a lost Paradise, to see a herd grazing, or, nearer still, a child, that has nothing yet of the past to disown, and plays in a happy blindness between the walls of the past and the future. And yet its play must be disturbed, and only too soon will it be summoned from its little kingdom of oblivion. Then it learns to understand the words "once upon a time," the "open sesame" that lets in battle, suffering and weariness on mankind, and reminds them what their existence really is, an imperfect tense that never becomes a present. And when death brings at last the desired forgetfulness, it abolishes life and being together, and sets the seal on the knowledge that "being" is merely a continual "has been," a thing that lives by denying and destroying and contradicting itself.
If happiness and the chase for new happiness keep alive in any sense the will to live, no philosophy has perhaps more truth than the cynic's: for the beast's happine.

The article describes the components and composition of
journal articles that report empirical research findings in the
field of rehabilitation. The authors delineate technical writing
strategies and discuss the contents of research manuscripts,
including the Title, Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results,
Discussion, and References. The article concludes with a
scale that practitioners, manuscript reviewers, educators, and
students can use in critically analyzing the content and scien-
tific merits of published rehabilitation research.
Keywords: Evaluation, research articles, guidelines for cri-
tique
1. Introduction
The purpose of this article is to examine the com-
ponents of a research article and provide guidelines
for conducting critical analyses of published works.
Distilled from the American Psychological Associa-
tion’s [1] Publication Manual and related descriptions
in several research design texts [4,8,9,12,15], descrip-
tions of how authors in rehabilitation and disability
studies address each section of a research article are
featured. The article concludes with a framework that
rehabilitation educators, graduate students, practition-
ers, and other Work readers can use in critiquing re-
search articles on the basis of their scientific merits and
practical utility.

2. Anatomy of a research article
For nearly 50 years, the American Psychological As-
sociation has presented guidelines for authors to follow
in composing manuscripts for publication in profes-
sional journals [1]. Most journals in disability studies
and rehabilitation adhere to those style and formatting
guidelines. In the paragraphs to follow, descriptions
of each section of a standard research article are pre-
sented: Title, Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results,
Discussion, and References.
2.1. Title
As with other kinds of literature, the title of a scien-
tific or scholarly journal article is a very important fea-
ture. At the risk of contravening the age-old adage “You
can’t judge a book by its cover,” Bellini and Rumrill [4]
speculated that most articles in rehabilitation journals
are either read or not read based upon the prospective
reader’s perusal of the title. Therefore, developing a
clear, concise title that conveys the article’s key con-
cepts, hypotheses, methods, and variables under study
is critical for researchers wishing to share their findings
with a large, professional audience. A standard-length
title for a journal article in the social sciences is 12–15
words, including a sub-title if appropriate. Because so-
cial science and medical indexing systems rely hea.

CHAPTER 4: THE CARBON FOOTPRINT CONTROVERSY
What is the carbon footprint controversy?
Nearly all humans consume meat, dairy, and egg products in some form. In recent years the

reduce our footprint without changing our diet? Much controversy surrounds that question. One
very extreme view on the political-left is below.
But when it comes to bad for the environment, nothing literally compares with eating meat. The business of raising
animals for food causes about 40 percent more global warming than all cars, trucks, and planes combined. If you care
about the planet, it's actually better to eat a salad in a Hummer than a cheeseburger in a Prius.
Bill Maher, host of HBO talk show Real Time with Bill Maher, writing in the Huffington Post in 2009. Accessed April 25,
2013 at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bill-maher/new-rule-a-hole-in-one-sh_b_259281.html.
The last decade has seen a movement advocating a vegan diet in order to reduce carbon emissions,
and in some respects the argument is logical. After all, it takes about 3.388 lbs of corn (and many
other inputs) to produce a single pound of retail beef, making meat seem relatively inefficient to
grains, thus leading to a larger carbon footprint.134 So common is this notion that some schools
e c age Mea le M da for the sake of the environment. The Meatless Monday movement
has even been adopted by the Norwegian military.135 Moreover, there is some scientific research
showing that vegan (and vegetarian) diets do result in a smaller carbon footprint.136

However, equally prestigious research shows that vegan diets can result in a higher carbon
footprint.138 How can this be? One reason is that some carbon footprint estimates are wrong, or
rather, interpreted incorrectly. The idea of livestock production being a large carbon emitter began
with a report by the United Nations (UN) suggesting that livestock contributes 18% f he ld
carbon footprint, more than the transportation sector,139 thus giving Bill Maher reason to point the
blame at burgers instead of Hummers.
It turns out that this 18% is fraught with errors, a lea , d e e e e c di i i he U.S.
For instance, the UN did not account for the carbon emissions involved in making the inputs used
in the transportation sector, but they did for livestock. This would be like saying the production of
tires has zero carbon emissions but the production of corn does. Also, that 18% makes a number of
contestable assumptions, especially regardi.

Megaregion Planning
and High-Speed Rail
Petra Todorovich
c h a p t e r 2 4

On April 16, 2009, President Obama stood before an audience at the Eisenhower
Executive Office Building and made an announcement that signaled a new era of
passenger rail in the United States. Months before, the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) had provided $8 billion for a new program at the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to issue competitive grants to states to
make capital investments in high-speed and conventional passenger rail. Little did
the president know that providing the single largest boost for intercity rail plan-
ning in this country in a generation had also motivated a sudden and giant leap for-
ward in planning and governing megaregions. Luckily, regional planners had been
studying emerging megaregions for the previous five years, in affiliation with the
New York–based Regional Plan Association’s (RPA) America 2050 program. Again
and again, the planners had identified high-speed rail as the key transportation
investment to serve megaregion economies. But high-speed rail was a distant
dream. That all changed with the passage of ARRA at the nadir of the Great
Recession. Now a federal program exists to support high-speed rail planning
and implementation. Making that program a success will largely depend on the
ability of multiple actors at the local, regional, state, and binational levels to come
together as megaregions to coordinate and leverage federal rail investments.
Revisiting Megalopolis: RPA Resurrects
the Megaregion Idea
As if planning for the Tri-State New York metropolitan region was not sufficiently
complicated, in 2005 the Regional Plan Association launched a national program
called America 2050 that focused on the emergence of a new urban scale: the
megaregion. This was not actually a new concept for RPA. In 1967 a volume of the
Second Regional Plan documented the emergence of “The Atlantic Urban Region,”
an urban chain stretching 460 miles from Maine to Virginia (Regional Plan

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Abstract
Research provides consistent evidence that non-offenders have
greater self-control than
offenders. While such differences exist across a range of
samples, the ability of
measures of self-control to discriminate between different
groups merits additional
attention. We advance research on this topic by comparing the
self-control of police
officers to offenders. Results indicate police officers score
higher than offenders do on
global self-control. Results also indicate that, when analyzing
differences across the six
dimensions of self-control conceptualized by Gottfredson and
Hirschi (1990), police
officers consistently score lower in impulsivity, self-
centeredness, and anger than
offenders. At the same time, police officers have a greater
preference for physical
activities than offenders do, and the risk-seeking and simple
tasks dimensions are
inconsistently associated with being a police officer relative to
an offender across the
4. different models estimated. Discussion centers on the
implications of these findings for
theory and for the screening of potential police recruits.

Introduction
Self-control is a core individual-level construct that has
profound implications for behavior
transcending multiple contexts across the life course
(Gottfredson & Hirschi, 2019; Hay &
Meldrum, 2015; Moffitt, Poulton, & Caspi, 2013; Pratt, 2016).
Toward the right tail of the
5. self-control distribution, reflecting individuals with higher self-
control, there are numerous
behavioral benefits. Persons with greater self-control are, on
average, better students, have
greater work performance, have higher incomes and accumulate
more wealth, and experi-
ence generally low psychopathology evidenced by fewer
psychiatric symptoms, less use of
alcohol, and abstention from drugs and risky behaviors. Those
with greater self-control also
enjoy more cohesive, agreeable relationships, have higher self-
esteem and self-efficacy, and
experience heightened wellbeing and happiness (e.g.,
Baumeister & Alquist, 2009; DeLisi,
2013; Krueger, Caspi, Moffitt, White, & Stouthamer-Loeber,
1996; Moffitt et al., 2011;
Tangney, Baumeister, & Boone, 2004). To illustrate, in a recent
study using decades of data
from a prospective birth cohort, Caspi et al. (2016) found that
persons characterized by high
self-control left little to no adverse societal footprint in terms
of their involvement in social
problems, social burden, and crime.
Toward the left tail of the self-control distribution, reflecting
individuals with lower
self-control, there are numerous behavioral liabilities.
Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990)
theoretical construct nicely instantiates low self-control with its
presentation of a person
who is impulsive, risk seeking, self-centered, easily angered,
prefers simple tasks, and
action-oriented. In sharp contrast to their peers with higher self-
control, those with low
self-control impose a disproportionate and substantial societal
burden in terms of their
6. involvement in unhealthy behaviors and attendant medical costs,
accidents, substance
use, and dysfunctional behaviors (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 2019;
Caspi et al., 2016;
DeLisi, 2011; Hay & Meldrum, 2015; Moffitt et al., 2011).
Moreover, low self-control
is associated with the full spectrum of criminal, externalizing,
and antisocial behaviors
evidenced by multiple meta-analytic reviews (de Ridder,
Lensvelt-Mulders,
Finkenauer, Stok, & Baumeister, 2012; Pratt & Cullen, 2000;
Vazsonyi, Mikuška, &
Kelley, 2017). As Vazsonyi et al. (2017, p. 59) recently stated,
“self-control theory has
established itself as one of the most influential pieces of
theoretical scholarship during
the past century, as it continues to stand up to a plethora of
rigorous empirical tests.”
Against this backdrop of the established importance of self-
control and evidence
supporting the core argument of Gottfredson and Hirschi’s
(1990) general theory of
crime, the current study contributes to the self-control literature
by comparing self-
control levels of offenders to non-offenders (e.g., Turner &
Piquero, 2002). Though this
topic has received considerable attention in the literature, to
date no studies have
evaluated such differences when juxtaposing the self-control
levels of police officers
and offenders, and we believe such a study is worthy of
empirical investigation. As we
will discuss, there are several reasons to suspect that police
officers would, on average,
have substantively higher levels of global self-control than
7. offenders, though there is
also reason to suspect exceptions may exist for certain
dimensions of self-control
emphasized by Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990). Consequently,
this study will contrib-
ute to the existing literature on the generality and
dimensionality of self-control, while
also providing important implications for police policy and
practice.
In the following sections, we first provide a brief overview of
self-control theory and
its arguments concerning differences in self-control between
offenders and non-
168 American Journal of Criminal Justice (2020) 45:167–189
offenders. Next, we draw attention to the policing literature,
noting the traits that police
agencies desire among officers and the manner in which these
traits overlap with
Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) conceptualization of self-
control. In the process, we
also review research investigating how self-control relates to
officer behavior. After
outlining the goals of the current study and stating our
hypotheses, we present an
empirical analysis that compares the self-control of offenders
against police officers.
Theory and Prior Research
Self-Control Theory
8. In an effort to provide a general theory of crime, Gottfredson
and Hirschi (1990)
proposed low self-control is “… the individual-level cause of
crime” (p. 232, original
emphasis). Their theory assumes that people make rational
decisions and that crime
does not require any special motivation; it is simply an
expression of one’s natural
predisposition to pursue pleasure and avoid pain (Gottfredson &
Hirschi, 1990). The
authors further contend that those who lack self-control are
more likely to pursue the
immediate pleasure of criminal behavior when presented with an
opportunity to do so.
In conceptualizing self-control, Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990)
define it as “the differen-
tial tendency of people to avoid criminal acts whatever the
circumstances in which they find
themselves” (p. 87). Individuals with low self-control tend to
engage in crime and behaviors
analogous to crime because they lack the capacity to consider
the long-term consequences of
their behavior (see also Gottfredson & Hirschi, 2019). They go
on to posit that crime and its
analogous acts are immediately gratifying, simple, and exciting,
and they presume that
people involved in these types of behaviors will exhibit similar
characteristics. Specifically,
they argue that individuals lacking self-control (1) have a here-
and-now orientation, so that
they seek immediate gratification; (2) prefer easy and simple
endeavors and tend to dislike
activities that require diligence, tenacity, and persistence; (3)
engage in risky and exciting,
rather than cautious and cognitive, behaviors; (4) are quick-
9. tempered; (5) are attracted to
endeavors that entail little skill or planning; and (6) are unkind,
insensitive, and self-centered.
Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990) further assert that, “There is
considerable tendency for these
traits to come together in the same people, …it seems
reasonable to consider them as
comprising a stable construct useful in the explanation of
crime” (pp. 90–91).
Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) theoretical premise advances
the hypothesis that
offenders should have lower self-control relative to non-
offenders (pp. 130–131). Prior
research has consistently supported this assertion, and these
self-control differences are
across a range of different samples (e.g., Beaver, DeLisi, Mears,
& Stewart, 2009; Carroll
et al., 2006; Turner & Piquero, 2002; Winfree Jr, Taylor, He, &
Esbensen, 2006).1 For
example, Turner and Piquero (2002) compared self-control
levels of 393 offenders and 120
1 In previous research, the determination of differentiating
‘offenders’ from ‘non-offenders’ has been based, for the
most part, on the participant’s own self-reported involvement in
crime and delinquency. For example, Turner and
Piquero (2002), using NLSY data of adolescents, categorized
‘offenders’ as those who self-reported engaging in at
least one of 14 delinquency items within the preceding 3 years.
Similarly, Winfree Jr et al. (2006), using adolescent
self-report data from a national evaluation of the GREAT
program, classified ‘offenders’ as those who self-reported
engaging in at least one of 17 delinquency items within the
preceding year.
10. American Journal of Criminal Justice (2020) 45:167–189 169
non-offenders over seven waves of data collection. Across the
first four waves, using a
behavioral measure of self-control, they found significant mean-
differences in self-control in
three of the four waves. In each of these, non-offenders had
statistically lower means, which
indicated higher self-control. Across the last three waves, using
an attitudinal measure of
self-control, they found significant mean-differences in self-
control in all three waves.
Again, non-offenders had statistically lower means, which
indicated higher self-control.
In a similar manner, Winfree Jr et al. (2006) examined self-
control differences
among a sample of 2921 offenders and 1650 non-offenders. To
measure self-control,
they utilized the four impulsivity and four risk seeking items
from the Grasmick et al.
(1993) scale to create an impulsivity scale, a risk seeking scale,
and an eight-item global
self-control scale. Their results demonstrated significant mean-
differences across all
three self-control measures, with non-offenders consistently
yielding higher self-con-
trol. Moreover, results from a multivariate regression model
indicated that being in the
offender group was significantly related to higher impulsivity,
higher risk seeking, and
lower global self-control. While such findings are illuminating,
the generality of self-
control can be further demonstrated by comparing offenders not
11. simply to a general
population sample of non-offenders but to a sample of
individuals that should be (but
not always are) high in self-control: police officers.
Policing and Self-Control
Police officers interact with the public on a daily basis, and, as
law enforcers and
peacekeepers, they have an obligation to “serve and protect.”
Whether they are
attempting to diffuse a domestic violence situation, conducting
a traffic stop, rendering
first aid at an accident scene, assisting a disabled motorist, or
maintaining order at a
civil protest, they are entrusted by society to behave with
steadfast professionalism and
integrity. The nature of the profession, including regular
encounters with rude, defiant,
and sometimes violent individuals, does not make this
commitment easy. Further, with
the job comes a tremendous amount of authority and discretion
(e.g., Bittner, 1970;
Brooks, 1993; Skogan & Frydl, 2004; Reiss, 1971; Walker,
1993). Officers have the
legally prescribed power to deprive a citizen of his/her freedom
of movement, and they
can use legally appropriate physical force to do so. Within this
context, officers have to
‘wear many hats,’ and the job frequently places them in
stressful situations where quick
decisions need to be made. Moreover, they, particularly patrol
officers, often perform
job duties outside of direct supervision.
Given the uniqueness of the policing profession, it is easy to
12. understand why there
are certain personality traits/characteristics that police officers
are expected to
possess—and that agencies try to identify in their applicants
through the hiring
processes. In line with Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990)
conceptualization of self-
control, both scholarly and professional sources emphasize that
officers should be
thoughtful and deliberate (rather than impulsive), courteous and
caring (rather than
self-centered), and slow to anger (rather than having a volatile
temper) (e.g., Capps,
2014; Morison, 2017; Ohio Law Enforcement Foundation,
2001).
Police departments across the United States are in general
agreement that self-
control—and/or its underlying elements—is a desirable
characteristic of police officers.
For example, Larry Capps, a former assistant chief of the
Missouri City (TX) Police
Department, identified having a controlled temper as a key trait
that police officers
170 American Journal of Criminal Justice (2020) 45:167–189
should possess (Capps, 2014). He suggests that a controlled
temper involves self-
control (or self-discipline), and that it requires an abundance of
competence, confi-
dence, and emotional maturity. This is particularly important
when officers encounter
citizens who have lost their tempers, as trying to resolve a
13. volatile situation becomes
exponentially more problematic if officers respond by losing
their own temper.
Other examples also illustrate the centrality of different
elements of self-control in
the policing profession. According to California’s Commission
on Peace Officer
Standards and Training (2014), there are certain behavioral
traits that departments
should evaluate when selecting/hiring applicants for law
enforcement positions.
Among these are impulse/anger control, even temper, stress
tolerance and recovery,
thoroughness, attention to detail, situational/problem analysis,
and decision-making/
judgment. Similarly, the Ohio Law Enforcement Foundation
(2001) identified self-
control and discipline as key characteristics that departments
should consider during
their hiring process. In their own recruiting efforts, the
Bainbridge Island (WA) Police
Department (Bainbridge Island Police Department, 2012)
recognized being analytical,
having a calming demeanor, having compassion and empathy,
being detail-oriented,
being emotionally resilient, having frustration tolerance, being
non-impulsive, being
patient, and having self-control as key characteristics that are
sought in their applicants.
More recently, a forum of approximately 50 law enforcement
practitioners from
around the country convened to discuss challenges and
strategies for twenty-first
century law enforcement hiring practices. Recruiters selected
14. the practitioners for this
forum, in large part, because their agencies had implemented
innovative hiring pro-
grams that have shown promise in their communities and that
may be useful models for
other jurisdictions (Morison, 2017). The forum identified seven
key traits of the “21st
century police officer.” Among these were empathy, self-
control, and problem-solving
skills. Moreover, community residents advocate for these same
qualities. According to
research from Whetstone, Reed, and Turner (2006), community
members expect a high
degree of competency from police officers, and their findings
revealed that community
members expect officers to possess—among other qualities—
self-discipline, patience,
and attention to detail.
In essence, self-control and several of its underlying dimensions
articulated by
Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990) are key traits that police
administrators (and the
community) look for in their recruits/officers. To corroborate
this assertion, policing
scholars have identified aspects of self-control in several
studies as predictors of
“successful” officers. For example, research from Hargrave and
Berner (1984) found
that police supervisors in California generally agreed effective
officers were, among
other things, emotionally controlled. Similarly, Hogue, Black,
and Sigler’s (1994)
research of Alabama police officers identified several preferred
characteristics, such
15. as emotional stability, patience, and being slow to anger. Using
the NEO Personality
Inventory (NEO-PI), Detrick and Chibnall (2006) found that the
best entry-level
officers (as rated by Field Training Officers) were low in
neuroticism and high in
conscientiousness, the latter being a concept that correlates
highly with self-control
(e.g., De Vries & Van Gelder, 2013; Jones, 2017). Looking
deeper into the subscales,
however, revealed more nuanced results. The best officers were
low in the angry-
hostility subscale, but were on par with their “average officer”
counterparts on the
impulsiveness subscale (both subscales under neuroticism). The
best officers also rated
higher on the self-discipline subscale, but were on par with
their counterparts on the
American Journal of Criminal Justice (2020) 45:167–189 171
deliberation subscale (both subscales under conscientiousness).
Interestingly, the best
officers rated higher in extraversion and had higher scores on
the excitement seeking
subscale. Overall, the sample of training officers concluded that
the best officers were
emotionally controlled, slow to anger, highly conscientious, and
disciplined.
Related research also links low self-control and related
constructs to negative police
behavior. For example, Hiatt and Hargrave (1988) demonstrated
officers that departments
16. disciplined for misconduct scored significantly higher on the
Minnesota Multiphasic Per-
sonality Inventory (MMPI) hypomania scale, indicating that
these officers had higher levels
of disinhibition and lack of restraint. Additionally, Hargrave
and Hiatt (1989) found that
problem officers had significantly lower scores on the self-
control subscale of the California
Personality Inventory (CPI). Likewise, Girodo (1991) found that
high extraversion, high
neuroticism, and disinhibition were significant NEO-PI
predictors of on-the-job misconduct
among a sample of federal undercover drug agents. Sarchione,
Cuttler, Muchinsky, and
Nelson-Gray’s (1998) research further identified that officers
who had been formally
disciplined for misconduct scored significantly lower on three
subscales of the CPI (respon-
sibility, socialization, and self-control). While not directly
assessing the effects of self-control
on police misconduct, Pogarsky and Piquero (2004) used the
impulsivity items from the
Grasmick et al. (1993) scale to assess whether impulsivity
mediated the relationship between
deterrence and police misconduct, finding that impulsivity had a
direct effect on misconduct.
Recent findings also reveal that low self-control predicts
officers’ citizen complaints (behav-
ioral self-control measure; Donner & Jennings, 2014) and
officers’self-reported engagement
in misconduct (Grasmick et al., 1993 measure; Donner, Fridell,
& Jennings, 2016).
The Current Study
Past research comparing self-control levels of offenders to non-
17. offenders finds non-
offenders possess greater self-control. Likewise, the policing
literature consistently
identifies self-control—and several of its elements—as traits
that police officers should
embody. Given the unique position that police officers occupy
and the legally pre-
scribed authority, discretion, and tools (e.g., firearms) that
accompany the profession,
high self-control appears to be a natural prerequisite. Taken
together, these observations
lead to the conclusion that police officers, on average, should
possess significantly
higher levels of self-control than offenders.
To our knowledge, no study has made this direct comparison.
While it might seem
obvious to expect that police officers would have more self-
control than offenders
would, we view this gap in the literature as something worthy of
empirical investigation
for several reasons. First, comparing the self-control of police
officers to offenders
offers a unique test of the ability of measures of self-control to
discriminate between
individuals who should, according to Gottfredson and Hirschi
(1990, pp. 130-131),
occupy opposing ends of the self-control distribution. Second, if
minimal differences in
self-control between police officers and offenders are observed,
this would potentially
raise important concerns about existing screening procedures
used in the recruitment
processes of potential officers. Third, being able to glean
further insight into the self-
control of police officers is of great importance, particularly at
18. a time of increased
public scrutiny of officer behavior and concerns over officer
misbehavior.
Accordingly, the current study compares the self-control levels
of a sample of police
officers to offenders by combining multiple existing datasets,
each of which includes the
172 American Journal of Criminal Justice (2020) 45:167–189
Grasmick et al. (1993) self-control scale. Based on theory and
prior research (e.g.,
Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990; Turner & Piquero, 2002; Winfree
Jr et al., 2006), the primary
hypothesis tested is that police officers will score, on average,
substantively higher on global
self-control relative to offenders. In addition, our review of the
policing literature consistently
identifies that police officers should be low in impulsivity, slow
to anger, considerate (i.e.,
low in self-centeredness), and able to navigate a complex and
stressful job (i.e., low in
preference for simple tasks). Yet, in considering the other two
dimensions of self-control
(risk seeking, physically oriented) emphasized by Gottfredson
and Hirschi (1990), the police
recruitment literature seemingly places less emphasis on these
two aspects. This may
partially reflect the fact that the nature of police work involves
an acceptance of risk (e.g.,
Herbert, 1998; Maskaly & Donner, 2015; Skolnick & Fyfe,
1993; Van Maanen, 1975) and
an expectation of physicality (e.g., Anderson, Plecas, & Segger,
19. 2001; Bissett, Bissett, &
Snell, 2012; Hunter, Bamman, Wetzstein, & Hilyer, 1999;
Shephard & Bonneau, 2003).
Police officers must sometimes run towards danger: they pursue
fleeing suspects, rescue
citizens from burning cars and buildings, and use hand-to-hand
combat to disarm suspects
and intervene in fights. Further, officers must be able to react
instantly to whatever crisis is at
hand—this requires a certain level of physical fitness. In fact,
evaluations of police recruits
include physical fitness, and officers must increase physical
fitness through training and,
while in police academies, they learn strategies for dealing with
risks inherent to police work
(e.g., Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2016).
Given these realities, it is possible—and perhaps even likely—
that differences in levels of
risk seeking and being physically oriented between police
officers and offenders could be
minimal, even as significant differences are observed for global
self-control and its other
four dimensions. Thus, our secondary hypothesis is that, when
comparing self-control levels
of police officers to offenders at the dimension-level, we expect
offenders will score higher
than police officers will in impulsivity, simple tasks, self-
centeredness, and anger, but that
there will be minimal or perhaps no differences in scores
between officers and offenders for
the risk-seeking and physical-oriented dimensions.
Method
Participants and Procedure
20. To examine similarities and differences in the self-control
levels of police officers and
offenders, we combined four different datasets. Two of these
datasets provide
information on offenders, while the other two provide
information on police officers.
Below, we briefly describe these four different data sources.2

2 Authors of the current study played a principal role in the
design and collection of the data for each of the four data
sources. With regard to the selection of these four specific data
sources, they were included in the current study
because they each contained the Grasmick et al. (1993) self-
control scale. To our knowledge no other data sources
outside of the two we utilize in the current study exist that
include data on the self-control levels of police officers for
each of the six dimensions included in the Grasmick et al.
(1993) scale. Similarly, very few datasets on prisoners exist
that include the Grasmick et al. (1993) scale other than the two
data sources used in the current study (e.g., Mitchell &
MacKenzie, 2006). Existing relationships among the authors of
the current study facilitated the utilization of the two
offender datasets and two police officer datasets.

more detailed information concerning the methodologies
employed to produce each of
the four datasets are referred to existing studies cited in the
below descriptions.
To create our sample of offenders, we first made use of survey
21. data collected in 2001
from male prison parolees located at four work-release facilities
located in a Midwest-
ern state.3 All of the participants had been released from a state
prison within the prior
six months and were serving conditional parole sentences. To
collect the survey data,
brochures were first distributed at all four work-release
facilities letting potential
participants know researchers were administering questionnaires
in small groups. It
was made clear to all individuals that participation was
voluntary, confidential, and that
they had the right to refuse to answer any of the questions on
the survey. Of the 480
parolees who were invited, 208 participated, yielding a
participation rate of 43%.
Research staff were present when surveys were administered in
small groups (from
September through December 2001) in order to answer
questions and provide clarifi-
cation about items on the survey. Compensation in the amount
of $30 was provided to
participants. Of the parolees who participated in the original
study, 29% were incar-
cerated for violent crimes (murder, rape, assault, robbery), 22%
were incarcerated for
drug crimes (possession and selling), and the remaining 49%
were incarcerated for a
variety of other offense types (burglary, motor vehicle theft,
fraud, etc.). For additional
information about this data source, see DeLisi, Hochstetler, &
Murphy (2003).
Next, we utilized survey data collected in 2000–2001 from 295
male prison inmates
22. located at two prison facilities (one medium security and the
other a facility that housed
both medium and maximum-security inmates) in Oklahoma.
Three separate random
samples were drawn at the time of the original study: (1)
inmates convicted of sex
offenses participating in a sex offender treatment program, (2)
inmates convicted of a
sex offense not participating in a sex offender treatment
program, and (3) inmates with
no record of having committed a sex offense. After random
selection, potential
participants were informed by memoranda they were chosen to
participate in a study
about the social, economic, and criminal history backgrounds of
inmates.4 All individ-
uals were provided a cover letter attached to a survey
questionnaire outlining informed
consent, and it was made clear that participation was voluntary
and that no compen-
sation was being provided for participation. The overall
participation rate across the
three inmate groups was 40%. Of the 295 participants, 68%
were incarcerated for a sex-
related offense (top three by frequency: rape, lewd molestation,
sodomy) and the
remaining 32% were incarcerated for crimes other than sex
offenses (top three by
frequency: 1st degree murder, armed robbery, felony drug
possession). For additional
information about this data source, see Cleary (2014). After
combining the information
for two offender data sources, verifying the presence of
common indicators of self-
control and demographic characteristics (described below), and
removing cases with
23. missing data, complete data on each of the items used in the
current study was available
for 457 of the 503 male prison inmates and parolees.
To create our sample of police officers, we first made use of
survey data collected
via an online platform—Qualtrics—in 2012 from a
geographically diverse, multi-

which in addition took on the responsibility for
scheduling data collection within each prison (the principal
researcher and assistants were present for all data
collection). Questionnaires were self-administered in the
visitation rooms of the two prison facilities.
