1. The social bonding, social learning, control, strain and
differential association theories are the tenants that make up the
life course theory. Pulling from each of these theories assisted
criminologists in being able to piece together more effectively
the warning signs in someone's behavior that could possibly
lead them down the wrong path. Early detection of warning
signs would greatly increase the effectiveness of interventions
during vital stages of an individual's life. This integrated
approach to the life course theories has contributed to the field
of criminology by bringing all the approaches together in order
for one to view the causation of crime from all the different
angles which leads to a more effective outcome or prevention
approach.

3. My humble opinion is I think society and politics are more

rather than results that will benefit society in the long run.
People complain about having their tax dollars used to pay for
the care of prisoners, but to develop the programs that will
benefit society takes time, trial and error, dedication, and
individuals who care about mankind and not their salary.
Putting the offenders in jail and forgetting about them is easier
(then they complain). The goal of early intervention is to
decrease the risk factors for the onset of offending and to
increase the protective factors that foster resilience in the face
of these criminogenic risks (Lilly, Cullen, Ball 2015).
Attracting people to the social services career field is a
challenge because the salary isn’t impressive and sometimes the
locations where social services are needed the most are places
one wouldn’t normally visit as well.
4. I think most Americans associate incarceration with
punishment rather than reform, so to use resources as an early
intervention program may seem like a waste of resources since
there is not much research to show the successfulness of early
intervention in the overall prevention of crime. Per Gottfredson,
et al (2000), and Tolan & Guerra (1994), “Hundreds of youth
violence prevention programs are being used in schools and
communities throughout the country, yet little is known about
the actual effects of many of them” (as cited in Office of the
Surgeon General, 2001, ch. 5, para.1).Part of the issue is that
while many American’s have personal views about effective
crime control practices, only few are up to speed on current
research to show their effectiveness. Views on early
intervention programs are no different. I think a lot of agencies

3. have a history of using research to justify their current policies
and initiatives, so it is not uncommon to hear positive and
negative reviews on their effectiveness which only serves to
leave public opinion divided. For early intervention programs to
be the most effective, I believe it will require full support from
communities. If people believe that early intervention programs
are facade for increasing taxes or cutting corrections officer’s
jobs, then these principles will be socialized to our youth and
our youth won’t buy-in to the programs either.
Unit 8 [AB230: Foundations of Conference and Event
Planning]
Unit 8 Assignment: The Press Conference
You discussed a Fundraising event in Unit 5 for which you
examined the marketing needed to make
this event successful. Now you will examine this same event
from another angle.
Background: From the Unit 5 scenario — A major celebrity is
hosting a fundraising event for Haiti’s
homeless population to be held in New Orleans one year from
now. He is planning a sit-down dinner
in the French Quarter for upwards of 1000 people. The event
will cover 2 city blocks along Bourbon
Street, which will be cordoned off for the event. Cocktails and
music start at 6 p.m. and the dinner
event continues until 2 a.m. A silent auction will be held and
there have been sponsorships from a
major cosmetics firm and a U.S. automobile company in support
of this effort.

4. There are several Hollywood celebrities who are ongoing
supporters who will attend along with their
friends. A number of international chefs are coming to provide
various cuisines. The entertainment
consists of a Haitian band that plays regularly in New Orleans,
a jazz band, a marimba band, and a
steel band. Tickets start at $500 per ticket.
The production event schedule is the minute-by-minute running
order of the event. It only reflects
the time period from move-in to move-out. A typical production
schedule includes all suppliers for the
event, their start and stop times, the details of their task, and
the name of the person responsible for
completing the task. Please complete a production schedule for
the following press conference and
film debut:
The Event: There will be a ―live‖ on-air press conference 2
days before the actual fundraising event
beginning at 2:00 p.m. with the print media and six television
stations in attendance, including
international media, at a local hotel in the French Quarter.
Three prominent celebrities will be in
attendance. Following the press conference in the same room,
there will be a reception serving wine,
beer, and hors d’oeuvres for a film preview of a documentary
(with a runtime of 2 hours) financed by
the same three celebrities. Film studio executives will be in
attendance, as well as a few prominent
donors to the cause, for a possible total of 140 people at the
event.
Allow for the following occurrences during this event:

5. 1) One of the celebrities was an hour late.
2) There was a medical emergency; a camera operator collapsed.
3) The transportation carrying the film studio VIPs was delayed
4) The celebrities rejected the idea of bodyguards for these
events.
5) Sound equipment arrived one hour before the press
conference.
6) Music should begin before the doors open to draw people
into the room.
7) Although the total attendee list is only 149, the footage from
the event will be on the top
television stations around the globe.
8) Allow 15 minutes between each event for changes, and
corrections to the set.
9) The bartenders ran out of white wine during the reception.
