Your city has a large shopping mall with an attached underground parking garage. There has been an increase in the number of automobiles being stolen or broken into. In addition, some of the shoppers have been victims of robberies while at the mall and in the parking garage.

In this context, respond to the following:

Explain how you would apply the crime triangle—comprising of the presence and interaction of motivated offenders, targets, and guardians of the routine activities theory—to help reduce these incidents of crime.

Explain the preventive measures that you would use against the offenders, the targets, and the guardians.

Describe the prevention measures you would impose to address these crimes. Provide the reasons for your approach.

In the above scenario, some of the robbery victims were injured when they did not follow the criminal’s instructions at the time of robberies.

Discuss the use of neutralization theory to explain some of the potential causes of criminal activity. In your answer, explain how they may use the following techniques of neutralization:

Denial of responsibility

Denial of injury

Denial of victim

Condemning the condemners

Appeal to a higher loyalty

Let’s consider another scenario related to convicted Tuscan, Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner. He pleaded guilty to nineteen charges and was sentenced to seven consecutive life terms, followed by 140 years in prison.

In this context, respond to the following:

Describe the opportunities for theory integration between traditional criminology and the disciplines of biology and psychology in this case.

Describe any specific biological or psychological insight into Loughner’s personality that might prove useful to the criminological study of this case.

Provide your opinion on whether his mental health situation impacted his actions in this case. Should the judge force Loughner to be medicated to the level where he would be able to assist in his own defense? Do you think Loughner was insane? Was the sentence imposed justified in this case based on the facts? Provide rationale to support your opinion.

  

Complete the assigned weekly reading and review the case study below and Respond to the questions below in a 3 pages Word document.

Case Study Example

With DTGOV’s client portfolio expanding to include public-sector organizations, many of its cloud computing policies have become unsuitable and require modification. Considering that public-sector organizations frequently handle strategic information, security safeguards need to be established to protect data manipulation and to establish a means of auditing activities that may impact government operations.

DTGOV proceeds to implement the digital signature mechanism specifically to protect its Web-based management environment (Figure 10.6). Virtual server self-provisioning inside the IaaS environment and the tracking functionality of realtime SLA and billing are all performed via Web portals. As a result, user error or malicious actions could result in legal and financial consequences. Image Figure 10.6 Whenever a cloud consumer performs a management action that is related to IT resources provisioned by DTGOV, the cloud service consumer program must include a digital signature in the message request to prove the legitimacy of its user. Digital signatures provide DTGOV with the guarantee that every action performed is linked to its legitimate originator. Unauthorized access is expected to become highly improbable, since digital signatures are only accepted if the encryption key is identical to the secret key held by the rightful owner. Users will not have grounds to deny attempts at message adulteration because the digital signatures will confirm message integrity.

Answer the following questions in a substantive manner:   

1. Do you agree that digital signatures are the best way to protect the data in question? 

2. Do you agree with the author’s statement that digital signatures provide a guarantee that every action performed is linked to its legitimate originator?  

3. DTGOV appears to be Canadian based. Does PIPEDA have any rulings on digital signatures?

The Role of Courts in Health Policy Making

The judiciary is one of the three coequal branches of the government, each with its own responsibilities and authority. The US constitutional structure intends the judicial branch to play a less direct part in policy making. However, an examination of decisions rendered by the courts indicates that judicial decisions can affect health policy to a great extent. The federal courts have legal authority over certain types of cases that may involve the federal Constitution or statute. They also may be involved in cases that have parties residing in different states. Courts in the U.S. have traditionally acted as constitutional referees, making decisions about the scope of each branch’s reach.

When the Congress’ authority to enforce individual mandate via the ACA was challenged by the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB v. Sibelius as cited in Longest, 2016), the Supreme Court acted as the referee. Courts also act as meaning givers when they interpret laws that may be particularly unclear in specific circumstances. For example, in 2003, in Kentucky Association of Health Plans, Inc. v. Miller, the Supreme Court interpreted the savings clause and ruled to permit health plans to permit any willing provider to join their networks.

Furthermore, the courts act as rights enforcers when parties allege violation of their constitutional rights in the context of evolving social conditions. For example, in 2012, a federal circuit court of appeals upheld Congress’ authority to require graphic warnings (Discount Tobacco City & Lottery, Inc. v. United States as cited in Longest, 2016). However, another circuit court of appeals in the same year (R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. v. FDA as cited in Longest, 2016) found that compelling tobacco companies to include the images actually chosen by the FDA on their cigarette packages would violate the companies’ First Amendment rights. It must be noted that these three roles of the courts are not mutually exclusive. In the context of health policy, the judiciary impacts both public and private sectors. For example, until the implementation of the ACA, employers had complete discretion on insurance provision to their employees and the types of benefits provided.

The Supreme Court of the United States

Courts in the U.S. have traditionally acted as constitutional referees, making decisions about the scope of each branch’s reach. Courts also act as meaning givers when they interpret laws that may be particularly unclear in specific circumstances. Following are some important cases in which the judiciary branch of the U.S. government played a key role.

 Unit III Reflection Paper The employment of different types of power might influence a team member’s satisfaction, and thus, his or her motivation to continue. In regards to your current industry and/or the culture of your current organization, write a reflection paper that addresses the following requirements: Describe which motivational theory, as described in Harell and Daim in the required readings for this unit, would be the most appropriate for your industry/organization. Why? Describe which of the original power types from the French and Raven power taxonomy, as described by Elias (2008) in this unit’s required readings, would fit best with the selected motivational theory. Your reflection paper should be two to three pages in length. Be sure to include the rubric elements from the guidelines below: The response reflects in-depth consideration and personalization of theories, concepts, and/or strategies. The writing should be clear and concise with proper sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation, and it should be free from spelling errors. The response includes all major components: accurate accounts of the topic area, critical analysis of the topic area, and scholarly or professional application of the topic area.
