An Exploratory Study on Mechanisms in Place to Combat Hacking In South Africa...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the past two decades, third world countries such as South Africa have made steadily developments towards combating hacking as a form of Cybercrime. The developments made by the South African Criminal Justice towards the prevention of hacking have been mildly progressive. The Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime is the treaty that all South African legislation and policy with regard to hacking is required to be in line with this convention. This treaty has also been the cornerstone to first world countries such as the United States, when preventing cybercrime such as hacking. In order for South Africans to have a safe and secure cyberspace that is free from hackers; there needs to be a co-operative system put in place by the South African Criminal Justice System that involves the government, non-profit organizations and the community. A Criminal Justice system that works closely with the community is able to properly guide its members and correctly prosecute the crime of hacking. Therefore, using qualitative secondary data this paper explores the existing measures put in place by the South African Criminal Justice to combat hacking. The findings of this paper indicate that conceptual understanding of this crime (hacking) can play a pivotal role in addressing the manifestation of this crime in a large extent as the nature and extent can be established, the use of technological means also contribute to hacking, this is also linked to individuals (victims) ignorance. For recommendations, the use of technology and conventional method in awareness can help in responding to the scale and consequence of hacking in South Africa.
Here is the framework of a bipartisan group of senators' immigration reform plan they say will secure the border, modernize the country's current immigration system and create a "tough but fair" path to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants already in the country. http://www.h1b.biz visit

1. Compare the similarities and differences between the external borders of New Europe and the U.S. - Mexico border.
The European Union concluded the Schengen Agreements in 1995, which outlines the steps the EU takes when dealing with their borders. The concept was to allow free movement of European workers to move and settle in any EU State. Part of it states that “Any person, irrespective of nationality, may cross the internal borders without being subjected to border checks.” [1] There is a stipulation that border police can ask for identification during “spot checks”. If there is a serious security risk to an EU state, that state can introduce border security measures but must inform the European Parliament and Commission.
While tightening controls of external borders, rules were implemented in the agreement such as types of visas needed and how the checks at external borders have to be done, improved police cooperation including the right to cross-border surveillance, and a strong judicial cooperation through a faster extradition system and transfer of enforcement of criminal judgments.
EU’s Smart Borders plan is to improve the management of the external borders, fight against unequal immigration and provide information on people whose visas have expired but have not left, as well as facilitate border crossings for prescreened frequent third country national travelers. [2]
Like the EU, the US and Mexico have agreements on SMART Borders to help ease the flow of people and goods as well as secure the borders by blending efficient border management with state-of-the-art advanced technology. Rules are set in place to help facilitate the crossing of daily workers into the US and those going to Mexico to work at US plants.
Unlike the EU, the US/Mexican government do not have a system for cross border surveillance cooperation nor can any US or Mexico law enforcement agency cross each other’s borders in pursuit of a criminal. Also, the US and Mexico judicial systems are entirely different which makes transferring criminal judgments non-existent.
2. Has your perception of homeland security changed since taking this course? Why or why not? What was and what is now your understanding of border protection? Fully explain your response using course resources and outside resources.
Truthfully, my perception of Homeland Security is a bloated bureaucracy which at times is inept, bad leadership, interagency non-cooperation, and political restraints. Although there are aspects of Homeland Security that have proved effective, the knee-jerk reaction of past and current administrations in the White House does not provide me with the confidence that this overhaul was necessary to the extent that it is today.
In the past, border protection had more to do with trying to control illegal immigration and drug smuggling. Now border protection includes trying to keep terrorists from crossing the border, protect US citizens along the border from the drug cartels wh ...

Problem statement
The problem of border security is a swore wound in American policy making for a while now. Policy makers and law makers alike have been under constant pressure to pass laws and draft policies that will deal with the issue once and for all yet the shortfall increases. In the recent scheme of things, a humanitarian crisis on the U.S-Mexican south east border has been the center of focus for politicians and observers alike. Opposing sides on the issue have argued that there is need for border security to be revamped on one side while those in charge of implementing and enforcing homeland security policies argue that border security is adequate. If the recent crisis of abandoned and undocumented children attempting to cross the border from Central America is anything to go by, there is enough ground to call for better policy making to address the issue wholesomely (Boozman, 2014). This is to avoid further strain on the border security enforcement resources, which culminate into a failed justice system, as well as, a compromised Homeland Security.
The perennial problem at the south east U.S Mexican border has become a melting point of the American politics. Despite the deployment of sophisticated technology in the form of sensors, motion detectors, and cameras among others the problem continues to persist. The greatest fear is in the spill over of violent crimes such as homicides, drug trade and increase in illegal immigrants into the U.S. for more than two decades the question remains whether the threats can be neutralized effectively. The tradition in border security management is to increase and improve security in centers with large population and potential target areas for terrorists. This is the duty of US Customs and Border Security however some elements of border security have eluded the noose of this agency. Despite the doubled manpower and employment of sophisticated software in border management illegal immigrants still find their way into the US. The question that therefore lingers is the approach in border security the appropriate one?
The current situation
CBP uses a high number of personnel to control the borders but it has only achieved effective control. Effective Control is the concentration of efforts in areas where it is likely to apprehend a n illegal immigrant trying to enter U.S (Steinmetz, 2011). The problem with this approach is that despite the doubled number of personnel the agency is still in need of more agents. Additionally, there seems to be lack of proper coordination of activities between the groups involved in border security. As a result coordination needs to be improved. On the same note, there is a need to expand rapid response of the agency. The personnel issue could be improved by reinforcement of the existing personnel by National Guard (Steinmetz, 2011). Since there are controls of d.

Introduction
Illegal migration into the United States has recently been on a massive scale. As the population of these illegal immigrants continues to increase, several challenges arise. These challenges come in various dimensions ranging from economic to socio-political challenges. It is, therefore, prudent to provide a succinct solution to these challenges lest the impact of illegal migration would be more perilous in the United States of America than earlier anticipated.
With increased levels of globalization, both terrorism and illegal immigration have been significantly enhanced (Correa-Cabrera & Rojas-Arenaza, 2012, p. 28). Efforts to deal with and provide an amicable solution to these fundamental problems associated with these challenges have attracted both the senate and the house of Congress significantly. This is primary because any neglect to peer into these issues would ideally affect the economy of the United States as well as the socio-economic and political setups among the citizens of the United States of America. What can, therefore, be done to ensure due address to these key challenges?
Efforts have been put by the house of the congress trying to craft a comprehensive law that would address the key challenges of illegal migration into the United States. However, full success of the implementation of these laws has neither been realized (Fialho, 2016, p. 87). However, there is some degree of success in as far as the Congress concerns addressing the real issues of immigration due to the implementation and operation of such comprehensive laws. Besides, there has been a severe neglect on the most favored policy of benign neglect in the recent past. It is apparently no longer tenable in the view and perspective of current US address priorities to the issues of illegal immigration.
Several efforts are currently being employed to try addressing the problems and challenges related to illegal migration in the United States. These include changes in the policy at places of employment and various sectors of the entire economy of the United States. Examples of these policy changes include things such as improving the levels of security at workplaces, ensuring proper and thorough verification of the employees by their prospective employers, establishment of new guest worker program, and offering amnesty to illegal immigrants who are found to be living in the United States of America.
A key focus is, however, on the success of the implementation of these policies and reforms. To ensure the accomplishment and success of these reforms and policies, there must be a comprehensive immigration reform in place (Filindra & Kovács, 2011, p. 93). These reforms should be extensively ideological as well as significantly lopsided to address issues especially on the security at the borders an ...

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
