This document discusses surveys given to two target groups regarding the "Three Strikes Law". The first group was judges and asked questions like what percentage of cases they deal with involve heinous crimes and if the discretionary powers under the law help reduce crime rates. The second group was lawyers and asked questions such as if social stigma contributes to repeat offenders and the advantages of the Three Strikes Law for society, like reducing serious felonies. Both groups were asked if the Three Strikes Law maintains societal tranquility and its effect on prison populations. The document thanks respondents.

Crime and Justice
This document discusses various aspects of the criminal justice system including discretion points, debates around accountability and efficiency, the role of police and their discretion, elections vs appointments of public prosecutors and judges, arguments for and against juries, purposes and debates around sanctions, the importance of victims in debates, compelling victim participation in trials, and attitudes of the public towards criminal justice based on media influences and fear.
State Legislative Term Limits: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The document discusses a proposed amendment to impose term limits on members of the Illinois General Assembly. It would limit politicians to 8 years of service and not count any time served before 2015. Supporters argue it would weaken powerful legislative leaders like Mike Madigan and create more turnover. However, critics say term limits would weaken the legislature by reducing experience and shifting power to unelected positions. The transition would also be confusing and conflictual over several sessions.
The 2014 Simon Poll - Voter Opinions on Term Limits in Illinois
The document summarizes the results of the 2014 Simon Poll on voter opinions regarding term limits in Illinois. Some key findings include:
- Over 70% of voters supported implementing 8-year term limits for state legislators and leadership positions, regardless of political affiliation or region.
- Support was consistently high across different voter subgroups, including Democrats, Chicago residents, and those in the public sector.
- The main arguments cited in favor of term limits were that it would make elected officials more responsive and bring in new people with fresh ideas, which over 70% and 80% of voters agreed with, respectively.
36463921 corruption
Corruption is defined as an act of bribery or using public power for private profits illegally or unethically. It takes many forms, including bribes, nepotism, misappropriation of funds, patronage, and favoritism. Corruption is caused and increased by factors such as a change in values, scarcity, ineffective administration, lack of accountability, and too much power given to officials without oversight. Whistleblower programs, computerization, privatization, stricter laws and punishments, and more transparency are some of the ways discussed to reduce corruption.

This document discusses drug courts as a community policing response to rising drug crimes. It notes that drug courts were first introduced in 1989 to reduce drug crimes and help addicted individuals through alternative programs instead of jail. However, over time their effectiveness began fluctuating as drug crimes increased again. The document emphasizes improving relationships between law enforcement and local communities to build trust and address citizen concerns. It also stresses focusing enforcement efforts on methamphetamine as the most harmful and addictive drug to help curb the drug epidemic and lower-level drug crimes.

Challanges to democracy
This document discusses challenges to democracy and potential reforms. It outlines three broad challenges - foundational, expansion, and deepening democracy. Specific challenges in India include social inequalities, poverty, illiteracy, and corruption. Potential reforms proposed include introducing new laws to encourage good political practices, analyzing laws for unintended consequences, and focusing on strengthening democratic practices over just changing rules. Measures to deepen democracy discussed are providing education for all citizens, protecting fundamental rights, and ensuring freedom of the press.
Developing A Strategy Of Action
This document discusses developing an effective strategy of action for human rights organizations. It recommends that organizations begin by specializing in specific human rights issues rather than trying to address all issues broadly. This allows organizations to focus their resources and handle cases more efficiently. The document also advises setting clear, measurable objectives and focusing on systemic change, such as amendments to laws or policies, rather than just assisting individual victims. Achieving objectives helps demonstrate the value of the organization's work and builds credibility with supporters, sponsors, and authorities.

Public administration is defined as the ability of becoming a multidisciplinary used in research and practical fields in the public policy discipline. Public administration comes with a number of advantages. Some of which include being used as an instrument of developing change. Whenever people of a given state think of developmental projects and formalities, public administration is essential in governing what the members are in a position of executing any rights which they might come across (Greenel, 2004) For instance, development of national transport system and communication network and channels calls for the government intervention in addressing these matters.

Challenges to democracy
This document discusses challenges faced by democracies and strategies for democratic reform. It outlines three main challenges: foundational challenges of transitioning to democracy, the challenge of expanding democratic principles to more groups and institutions, and the challenge of deepening democracy so citizens' expectations are met. The document advises that legal changes alone cannot drive reform and should empower citizens instead of banning things. It also stresses the importance of political practice and implementation over just proposing solutions, recommending democratic movements and media to enact change.
Challenges to democracy ( social )
This document discusses challenges to democracy in several countries. It begins by defining democracy as rule by the people where citizens participate directly or indirectly in decision making. There are three broad challenges to democracy: countries without democratic systems face challenges transitioning to democracy; democratic countries face challenges expanding democracy to more groups; and all democracies face challenges strengthening democratic institutions. The document then discusses specific challenges facing Indian democracy like social inequalities, poverty, and corruption. It proposes political reforms could include new laws to discourage bad practices, analyzing law results, and focusing on practical democratic practices not just theories. Strengthening education, fundamental rights, and freedom of the press are also suggested to deepen democracy.
Death penalty in goals of punishment
The document discusses the goals of punishment in relation to the death penalty. It analyzes whether the death penalty achieves the goals of retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and restoration. It also provides an overview of the death penalty in Malaysia, including the offenses that carry the death penalty and recent proposals to reform it. While the death penalty can achieve retribution and deterrence, its ability to further incapacitation and rehabilitation is debated. Restoration is incompatible with the death penalty. The document concludes by noting public support for the death penalty in Malaysia but acknowledges reforms remain at the government's discretion.
Walsh power point_chapter 9
This chapter discusses social control and the law. It defines social control as actions that influence conformity and explains that the primary function of law is to establish social control for peaceful and predictable coexistence. It then examines theories of social control, mechanisms of social control like punishment and deterrence, debates around the criminal justice system and death penalty, and legal control of political dissent and other social issues.

Victims’ Rights

INTRODUCTION
During the early period of the criminal justice system, crime victims were responsible for bringing their
cases before the court for prosecution. Eventually, prosecutors’ offices were created and became
responsible for representing the state during court proceedings. Prosecutor’s offices were developed for
three reasons: (1) it demonstrated that crimes are committed against all of society and not just the
victim, (2) it removed the value of vengeance from criminal justice process, and (3) it meant that
specially trained professionals are responsible for the legal process in which in return ensures fair and
effective prosecutions take place. After the development of modern prosecutors’ offices, victims
essentially became excluded from the criminal justice process [1]. The Victims’ Rights Movement sought
to change that. In the remainder of this lecture we will discuss the Victims’ Rights Movement, the
policies that resulted from it, and the impacts of those policies on criminal justice outcomes.
THE VICTIMS’ RIGHTS MOVEMENT
The Victims’ Rights Movement (VRM) began in the 1970s. Young and Stein suggest the VRM was
jumpstarted due to: (1) an increase in criminological research on victimology, (2) the introduction of the
idea that states should supply victims with financial compensation after victimization, (3) women’s rights
movements, (4) the rise of crime throughout the 1960s (and on) and the perception that the criminal
justice system was ineffective, and (5) the growth of activism and the founding of activity groups by
crime victims (e.g., Parents of Murdered Children or Mothers Against Drunk Driving). First, researchers
began to question why some people became victims of crime or failed to report crimes to the police.
Second, after some states began to copy programs in other countries that supplied compensation to
crime victims, the seed was planted for thinking about what could be done to assist crime victims. Third,
women’s rights activist began to question the lack of attention that was paid to sexual assault crimes
and domestic violence. Fourth, after crime rates began to rise throughout the 1960s, many people
questioned the effectiveness of the criminal justice system and particularly the fact that many
prosecutions failed because victims refused to move forward in the cases. Fifth, a number of crime
victims started advocacy and support groups for crime victims, and those groups began to lobby
legislatures for support for crime victims. With the help of federal funding, most states had adopted at
least some victims’ services programs by the end of the 1970s that focused on crisis intervention,
counseling, support during the criminal justice process, victim compensation, and victim restitution [2].
The VRM continued in the 1980s. In 1984, the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) was passed. VOCA

Amber edison cit presentation
The document discusses Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT), programs designed to help law enforcement effectively respond to mental health crises. CIT programs involve training law enforcement to de-escalate crises and connect individuals to mental health services instead of the criminal justice system. The document notes social workers provide training to CIT on mental illness and best practices. It also discusses themes from interviews like lack of understanding between CIT and social workers, and increasing social workers' roles through advocacy, cross-training, and community partnership.
Session 9. violence retribution & restoration.2016
This document discusses gangs, violence, and different approaches to justice. It addresses what constitutes a gang and weapons. While some youth groups are mislabeled as gangs, evidence shows most youth offending is group-related. Regarding gangs, carrying weapons is often for protection and violence is rarely pre-meditated. The document also outlines the retributive justice system and restorative justice approaches, with the latter seeking to include all affected parties and find mutually agreeable outcomes.
Prison Reform
Prison reform aims to establish a more humane criminal justice system based on prevention, rehabilitation, and equal treatment under the law rather than punishment. However, there is much controversy around reform due to clashes between political ideologies, religious views, and misunderstandings about the goals of reform. While some support more humane policies like preventing prisoner suicides, others argue the system should acknowledge the root causes of issues like crime and focus more on prevention rather than punishment.

RE: Week 1 Discussion
Over the past few decades, the need for computer technology has greatly increased. Users now turn to many forms of "computers" for daily tasks. Therefore, digital crime has also increased. Two factors that I believe have led to the explosive growth of digital crime
1. Identity Theft- Since computers are used for almost everything we do in life, many of us enter too much personal information into these devices. This personal information is now out there for hackers to retrieve and use in the theft of our identity.
2. Credit Card Fraud- An increase of online purchases and bill payment has allowed for credit card information to become more vulnerable to theft and/or fraud.
I believe these are the most common forms of digital crimes because they are the most commonly used by individuals.
Three types of digital crime include:
1. Cyber Stalking- Enforced by the FBI
2. Viruses- Enforced by The Secret Service
3. Piracy- Enforced by the ICE, FBI, and HIS
The federal virus genies in question can improve the overall public response to such computer crimes by identifying target areas for the reported crimes. Individual citizens can also assist in the fight against digital crime as well. To do so, when a crime is committed, the citizen should immediately report all aspects of the known crime to the proper authorities. Additionally, individual citizens can do things to prevent said crimes from occurring, such as; block and report cyber stalkers, install and use trusted anti-virus software and stay away from piracy websites.

Pre Sentence Investigation
The Pre Sentence Investigation is simply the investigation that is conducted on a guilty defendant before a sentence for the crime is handed down. The PSI is essential for the judge in making a determination of the type of sentence the guilty criminal offender should receive. While criminals in society commit the same crime they will not always get the same sentence. For example a criminal that has stolen a car for the first time would not receive the same prison sentence as a criminal that has stolen two other cars previously and was convicted for these crimes. Since just committing the crime is not all that is considered in sentencing the pre sentence investigation is essential.
Once a criminal has been found guilty of a crime in a court of law or they have pled guilty to a crime the judge will require the probation agent to gather information on the guilty offender including past criminal history, juvenile adjudications, crime, and harm caused to the victim (USPO, 2011). The pre sentence report will inform the court of the criminal defendant’s marital status, work history, and educational background as well as a past history of substance abuse, and mental health history. Additionally the report will provide information on sentencing guidelines, potential harm posed to community, and sentencing recommendations.
The pre sentence report is extremely beneficial to the court. The judge only has the information that is provided through the court process (Murrell, 2008). They do not have information on any special circumstances that would sway their decision one way or another. For example if a man murdered a woman in a fit of passion the sentence would be less than if the murder was premeditated but if the man rapes the woman before she is murdered then the sentence they would receive could be much harsher. In another example if a woman murders a man but that man had stalked her for years this would be important information when the judges make a decision concerning sentencing.
The pre sentence report informs the court and correctional system about the criminal defendant. The report will help the judge to make a determination of what types of programs and services would most benefit the criminal defendant or what type of prison would be most appropriate. For example a serial killer would need to be sent to a maximum security prison or someone sentenced to death will need to be sent to a prison that has a death row. The pre sentence report is beneficial in determining if a criminal offender has a substance abuse problem and requires treatment.
The challenges associated with the pre sentence report involve the cost of conducting the pre investigation report. The correctional system is extremely overcrowded and is overwhelmed with the high cost of housing and feeding criminal inmates and the courts.

RE: Week 9 Discussion 1
Compare and contrast the prevalence of organized crime in two (2) of the following global regions: North America, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Determine each global region’s response to organized crime, and examine the correlation between this response and the prevalence of organized crime in the region.
Organized crime is still in North America. Most recently, a Baltimore police detective was shot in the head at close range with his own gun day before he was set to testify in grand jury in an ongoing police corruption and drug shakedowns. It seems crazy to think he is killed with his own gun only a day before standing trial that would have brought down so many other people. The global regions response to organized crime is that it is no longer there and doesn’t happen. Which seems to not be the case. It is not as big as it used to be but it is still out there. Individuals think of the Mobsters of many years ago when they think of organized crime, but even though those types of organized crime have gone down it does not mean it is completely gone.
Speculate on at least two (2) reasons why society’s concern about Cybercrime has lagged behind other types of organized crime despite society’s current reliance on computers and technology. Justify your response.
The misuse of computers and the internet to carry out criminal activity is a cybercrime. Cybercrime can involve lottery scams, bank accounts, ID theft, and extortion. Most cybercrimes involve obtaining some sort of profit with money or gaining something. There is a lot that is involved with cybercrime, which makes them complex to locate and shut down. These types of crimes do not directly physically harm another human or thing. Most fraud committed in companies are committed from the inside. The ICCC, Internet Crime Complaint Center, receives more than 300,000 complaints in a yearn with a dollar loss of nearly $500 million. That is a lot of complaints for one center to process though and see what are legitimate complaints and which ones are not. Cybercrime is always evolving to something different. As soon as they figure out one virus and how to stop that, another comes in. The hatchers that are involved with these cybercrimes seem to be one step ahead of the government who tries to shut t.
Influencing public policy
This document outlines the agenda for a class on government policy, protests, and civic participation. It includes: discussing turning off cell phones and taking attendance; petitions and protests; lobbying and political parties; and an assignment to reflect on what policy one would be willing to protest to the point of going to jail. It then discusses the constitutionally protected rights to dissent and petition, examples of successful protest movements, and the roles and impacts of lobbying and the two-party system in the US.
9 Social Control: POWERPOINT
The document discusses three strategies for preventing crime: situational crime prevention, environmental crime prevention, and social and community crime prevention. It notes that these strategies focus on a narrow range of harms like violent crime and burglary, but ignore more powerful crimes and environmental crimes. The strategies reflect the priorities of crime prevention agencies. Research in the UK found agencies were interested in crimes like car theft and drugs, but not waste or water pollution offenses.

This document discusses challenges to democracy and potential reforms. It outlines three broad challenges - foundational, expansion, and deepening democracy. Specific challenges in India include social inequalities, poverty, illiteracy, and corruption. Potential reforms proposed include introducing new laws to encourage good political practices, analyzing laws for unintended consequences, and focusing on strengthening democratic practices over just changing rules. Measures to deepen democracy discussed are providing education for all citizens, protecting fundamental rights, and ensuring freedom of the press.
Developing A Strategy Of Action
This document discusses developing an effective strategy of action for human rights organizations. It recommends that organizations begin by specializing in specific human rights issues rather than trying to address all issues broadly. This allows organizations to focus their resources and handle cases more efficiently. The document also advises setting clear, measurable objectives and focusing on systemic change, such as amendments to laws or policies, rather than just assisting individual victims. Achieving objectives helps demonstrate the value of the organization's work and builds credibility with supporters, sponsors, and authorities.

Public administration is defined as the ability of becoming a multidisciplinary used in research and practical fields in the public policy discipline. Public administration comes with a number of advantages. Some of which include being used as an instrument of developing change. Whenever people of a given state think of developmental projects and formalities, public administration is essential in governing what the members are in a position of executing any rights which they might come across (Greenel, 2004) For instance, development of national transport system and communication network and channels calls for the government intervention in addressing these matters.

Challenges to democracy
This document discusses challenges faced by democracies and strategies for democratic reform. It outlines three main challenges: foundational challenges of transitioning to democracy, the challenge of expanding democratic principles to more groups and institutions, and the challenge of deepening democracy so citizens' expectations are met. The document advises that legal changes alone cannot drive reform and should empower citizens instead of banning things. It also stresses the importance of political practice and implementation over just proposing solutions, recommending democratic movements and media to enact change.
Challenges to democracy ( social )
This document discusses challenges to democracy in several countries. It begins by defining democracy as rule by the people where citizens participate directly or indirectly in decision making. There are three broad challenges to democracy: countries without democratic systems face challenges transitioning to democracy; democratic countries face challenges expanding democracy to more groups; and all democracies face challenges strengthening democratic institutions. The document then discusses specific challenges facing Indian democracy like social inequalities, poverty, and corruption. It proposes political reforms could include new laws to discourage bad practices, analyzing law results, and focusing on practical democratic practices not just theories. Strengthening education, fundamental rights, and freedom of the press are also suggested to deepen democracy.
Death penalty in goals of punishment
The document discusses the goals of punishment in relation to the death penalty. It analyzes whether the death penalty achieves the goals of retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and restoration. It also provides an overview of the death penalty in Malaysia, including the offenses that carry the death penalty and recent proposals to reform it. While the death penalty can achieve retribution and deterrence, its ability to further incapacitation and rehabilitation is debated. Restoration is incompatible with the death penalty. The document concludes by noting public support for the death penalty in Malaysia but acknowledges reforms remain at the government's discretion.
Walsh power point_chapter 9
This chapter discusses social control and the law. It defines social control as actions that influence conformity and explains that the primary function of law is to establish social control for peaceful and predictable coexistence. It then examines theories of social control, mechanisms of social control like punishment and deterrence, debates around the criminal justice system and death penalty, and legal control of political dissent and other social issues.

Victims’ Rights

INTRODUCTION
During the early period of the criminal justice system, crime victims were responsible for bringing their
cases before the court for prosecution. Eventually, prosecutors’ offices were created and became
responsible for representing the state during court proceedings. Prosecutor’s offices were developed for
three reasons: (1) it demonstrated that crimes are committed against all of society and not just the
victim, (2) it removed the value of vengeance from criminal justice process, and (3) it meant that
specially trained professionals are responsible for the legal process in which in return ensures fair and
effective prosecutions take place. After the development of modern prosecutors’ offices, victims
essentially became excluded from the criminal justice process [1]. The Victims’ Rights Movement sought
to change that. In the remainder of this lecture we will discuss the Victims’ Rights Movement, the
policies that resulted from it, and the impacts of those policies on criminal justice outcomes.
THE VICTIMS’ RIGHTS MOVEMENT
The Victims’ Rights Movement (VRM) began in the 1970s. Young and Stein suggest the VRM was
jumpstarted due to: (1) an increase in criminological research on victimology, (2) the introduction of the
idea that states should supply victims with financial compensation after victimization, (3) women’s rights
movements, (4) the rise of crime throughout the 1960s (and on) and the perception that the criminal
justice system was ineffective, and (5) the growth of activism and the founding of activity groups by
crime victims (e.g., Parents of Murdered Children or Mothers Against Drunk Driving). First, researchers
began to question why some people became victims of crime or failed to report crimes to the police.
Second, after some states began to copy programs in other countries that supplied compensation to
crime victims, the seed was planted for thinking about what could be done to assist crime victims. Third,
women’s rights activist began to question the lack of attention that was paid to sexual assault crimes
and domestic violence. Fourth, after crime rates began to rise throughout the 1960s, many people
questioned the effectiveness of the criminal justice system and particularly the fact that many
prosecutions failed because victims refused to move forward in the cases. Fifth, a number of crime
victims started advocacy and support groups for crime victims, and those groups began to lobby
legislatures for support for crime victims. With the help of federal funding, most states had adopted at
least some victims’ services programs by the end of the 1970s that focused on crisis intervention,
counseling, support during the criminal justice process, victim compensation, and victim restitution [2].
The VRM continued in the 1980s. In 1984, the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) was passed. VOCA

Amber edison cit presentation
The document discusses Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT), programs designed to help law enforcement effectively respond to mental health crises. CIT programs involve training law enforcement to de-escalate crises and connect individuals to mental health services instead of the criminal justice system. The document notes social workers provide training to CIT on mental illness and best practices. It also discusses themes from interviews like lack of understanding between CIT and social workers, and increasing social workers' roles through advocacy, cross-training, and community partnership.
Session 9. violence retribution & restoration.2016
This document discusses gangs, violence, and different approaches to justice. It addresses what constitutes a gang and weapons. While some youth groups are mislabeled as gangs, evidence shows most youth offending is group-related. Regarding gangs, carrying weapons is often for protection and violence is rarely pre-meditated. The document also outlines the retributive justice system and restorative justice approaches, with the latter seeking to include all affected parties and find mutually agreeable outcomes.
Prison Reform
Prison reform aims to establish a more humane criminal justice system based on prevention, rehabilitation, and equal treatment under the law rather than punishment. However, there is much controversy around reform due to clashes between political ideologies, religious views, and misunderstandings about the goals of reform. While some support more humane policies like preventing prisoner suicides, others argue the system should acknowledge the root causes of issues like crime and focus more on prevention rather than punishment.

RE: Week 1 Discussion
Over the past few decades, the need for computer technology has greatly increased. Users now turn to many forms of "computers" for daily tasks. Therefore, digital crime has also increased. Two factors that I believe have led to the explosive growth of digital crime
1. Identity Theft- Since computers are used for almost everything we do in life, many of us enter too much personal information into these devices. This personal information is now out there for hackers to retrieve and use in the theft of our identity.
2. Credit Card Fraud- An increase of online purchases and bill payment has allowed for credit card information to become more vulnerable to theft and/or fraud.
I believe these are the most common forms of digital crimes because they are the most commonly used by individuals.
Three types of digital crime include:
1. Cyber Stalking- Enforced by the FBI
2. Viruses- Enforced by The Secret Service
3. Piracy- Enforced by the ICE, FBI, and HIS
The federal virus genies in question can improve the overall public response to such computer crimes by identifying target areas for the reported crimes. Individual citizens can also assist in the fight against digital crime as well. To do so, when a crime is committed, the citizen should immediately report all aspects of the known crime to the proper authorities. Additionally, individual citizens can do things to prevent said crimes from occurring, such as; block and report cyber stalkers, install and use trusted anti-virus software and stay away from piracy websites.

Pre Sentence Investigation
The Pre Sentence Investigation is simply the investigation that is conducted on a guilty defendant before a sentence for the crime is handed down. The PSI is essential for the judge in making a determination of the type of sentence the guilty criminal offender should receive. While criminals in society commit the same crime they will not always get the same sentence. For example a criminal that has stolen a car for the first time would not receive the same prison sentence as a criminal that has stolen two other cars previously and was convicted for these crimes. Since just committing the crime is not all that is considered in sentencing the pre sentence investigation is essential.
Once a criminal has been found guilty of a crime in a court of law or they have pled guilty to a crime the judge will require the probation agent to gather information on the guilty offender including past criminal history, juvenile adjudications, crime, and harm caused to the victim (USPO, 2011). The pre sentence report will inform the court of the criminal defendant’s marital status, work history, and educational background as well as a past history of substance abuse, and mental health history. Additionally the report will provide information on sentencing guidelines, potential harm posed to community, and sentencing recommendations.
The pre sentence report is extremely beneficial to the court. The judge only has the information that is provided through the court process (Murrell, 2008). They do not have information on any special circumstances that would sway their decision one way or another. For example if a man murdered a woman in a fit of passion the sentence would be less than if the murder was premeditated but if the man rapes the woman before she is murdered then the sentence they would receive could be much harsher. In another example if a woman murders a man but that man had stalked her for years this would be important information when the judges make a decision concerning sentencing.
The pre sentence report informs the court and correctional system about the criminal defendant. The report will help the judge to make a determination of what types of programs and services would most benefit the criminal defendant or what type of prison would be most appropriate. For example a serial killer would need to be sent to a maximum security prison or someone sentenced to death will need to be sent to a prison that has a death row. The pre sentence report is beneficial in determining if a criminal offender has a substance abuse problem and requires treatment.
The challenges associated with the pre sentence report involve the cost of conducting the pre investigation report. The correctional system is extremely overcrowded and is overwhelmed with the high cost of housing and feeding criminal inmates and the courts.

RE: Week 9 Discussion 1
Compare and contrast the prevalence of organized crime in two (2) of the following global regions: North America, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Determine each global region’s response to organized crime, and examine the correlation between this response and the prevalence of organized crime in the region.
Organized crime is still in North America. Most recently, a Baltimore police detective was shot in the head at close range with his own gun day before he was set to testify in grand jury in an ongoing police corruption and drug shakedowns. It seems crazy to think he is killed with his own gun only a day before standing trial that would have brought down so many other people. The global regions response to organized crime is that it is no longer there and doesn’t happen. Which seems to not be the case. It is not as big as it used to be but it is still out there. Individuals think of the Mobsters of many years ago when they think of organized crime, but even though those types of organized crime have gone down it does not mean it is completely gone.
Speculate on at least two (2) reasons why society’s concern about Cybercrime has lagged behind other types of organized crime despite society’s current reliance on computers and technology. Justify your response.
The misuse of computers and the internet to carry out criminal activity is a cybercrime. Cybercrime can involve lottery scams, bank accounts, ID theft, and extortion. Most cybercrimes involve obtaining some sort of profit with money or gaining something. There is a lot that is involved with cybercrime, which makes them complex to locate and shut down. These types of crimes do not directly physically harm another human or thing. Most fraud committed in companies are committed from the inside. The ICCC, Internet Crime Complaint Center, receives more than 300,000 complaints in a yearn with a dollar loss of nearly $500 million. That is a lot of complaints for one center to process though and see what are legitimate complaints and which ones are not. Cybercrime is always evolving to something different. As soon as they figure out one virus and how to stop that, another comes in. The hatchers that are involved with these cybercrimes seem to be one step ahead of the government who tries to shut t.
Influencing public policy
This document outlines the agenda for a class on government policy, protests, and civic participation. It includes: discussing turning off cell phones and taking attendance; petitions and protests; lobbying and political parties; and an assignment to reflect on what policy one would be willing to protest to the point of going to jail. It then discusses the constitutionally protected rights to dissent and petition, examples of successful protest movements, and the roles and impacts of lobbying and the two-party system in the US.
9 Social Control: POWERPOINT
The document discusses three strategies for preventing crime: situational crime prevention, environmental crime prevention, and social and community crime prevention. It notes that these strategies focus on a narrow range of harms like violent crime and burglary, but ignore more powerful crimes and environmental crimes. The strategies reflect the priorities of crime prevention agencies. Research in the UK found agencies were interested in crimes like car theft and drugs, but not waste or water pollution offenses.
