Question 1

1.1 In her taxonomy, Joh (2005) describes private policing as law enforcement activities offered through agencies owned and controlled by private individuals. That said, unlike their public counterparts, private police officers concentrate on property loss, preventive techniques, private justice, and safeguarding personal interests. As such, these entities mainly operate as parallel entities, each focusing on their individual duties in law enforcement. This taxonomy is both useful and an excellent beginning in the categorization of various forms of private policing as explained below. On the one hand, some of the existing classifications include publicly contracted, protective, intelligence, and corporate security ...

A Review of Literature

INTRODUCTION The United States has currently been struggling with a great deal of political warfare, social unrest and public protest from the inside and from terrorism, global criticism and immigration battles from the outside. There are so many issues that the subjects of debate seem endless. One of the most controversial and often debated issues today is gun control. There is no doubt that it is incredibly dangerous when offenders are armed when they commit crimes like burglary or in a car-jacking; more so when these offenders have every premeditated intent to kill. At the same time, not everyone ...

The costs of white-collar crimes are difficult to quantify because the costs incurred are higher than those of conventional crimes (DiMarino & Roberson, 2013). The types of cost attributed to white-collar crimes are as follows. 1. Direct Cost is an economic loss/measurable loss. It is also termed as the victim’s loss that is measurable. For example, market value, financial loss, and replacement cost, etc. (Fredrichs, 2010). 2. Indirect Cost is the type of cost that is occurred in response to the white-collar crime. It is difficult to measure because it has a non-economic impact. For example, the increase in ...

According to Barnet (2002), white-collar crime is defined as the crime committed by people that have respectable and high social status in different occupations and societies. However, the definition does not delineate the scope under which the criminal behaviors fall in white-collar criminality. The rise of white-collar criminality resulted from the difference in inattention given to it compared to the street level crimes where offenders were of low status. The definition of white-collar criminality varies depending on the type of offender, type of offense, and the type of organizational culture in which the crime is committed. For instance, the ...

Introduction

Environmental concerns have created significant interests from various stakeholders with criminologists playing a critical role in responding to environmental harms.

Introduction

Crime is considered as a way of adopting ideas and techniques that break the ethical boundaries and governmental laws as well. The current paper tends to explore and elaborate the different aspects of crimes, their features, and their impact on the social order of the world. Correspondingly, the current paper tends to incorporate the studies of Beirne and Messerschmidt based on criminology to elaborate the primary features of the white-collar crime and political crime.

Discussion

It is evident in the studies of Beirne and Messerschmidt, “crime is referred to as an illegitimate and outlawedaction that can demonstrate to be hazardous ...

1. Routine Message: I was quite comfortable with Konrad Yakabuski’s assessment of our health care system. That is, until his last paragraph, where he states, “Younger doctors, motivated by more noble goals than money, seem to get this” (Doctors Don’t Get It: Health Care is a Team Game, Aug. 18). I am a 66-year-old family doctor with almost 40 years of practice under my belt. Fortunately, I really don’t need the money. I resent the implication that “older” doctors are less “noble” than younger ones. Most doctors were not looking for a personal boost to their ...

Broadly speaking there are two kinds of crimes that are committed against a state, county or city. The two categories are blue-collar crimes and white-collar crimes. In the olden days, blue-collar crimes referred to crimes committed by an individual considered to be of low socioeconomic standing. To be precise, these were crimes committed by people of the working class. Today, these kinds of crimes are the kind of crimes attributable to rage or emotion (even though there are exceptions) and which entail the use of violence. In most cases, blue-collar crimes are not as calculated as white-collar crimes. Examples ...

INTRODUCTON

When people think of crime their first inclination is to envision men in masks robbing a bank at gunpoint, drug dealers selling drugs to children on the street and, in the most extreme cases, murder. However, there are many different types of crime and not all of them are violent, not all involve acts that are easily identified and happen a lot more often that the general public probably thinks. White-collar Crime was first identified the mid 20th century by Edwin Sutherland. However, white-collar crime, which is the term given to financial crimes committed by the middle and higher ...

Introduction

Digital crimes include crimes committed on the internet as well as all types of crimes, perpetrated in the sphere of information and telecommunications systems. In this regard, the subject of the offense is all information resources and technologies, whereas the purpose of this violation is the criminal trespasses. In short, cybercrime regarding the non-legal intervention in the work of computers, software and computer nets as well as an unauthorized modification of any digital data refer to the legal categories, where the object of the crime is the information security, whereas the computer is the subject. If we consider cybercrime ...

Human genius and creativity have no limitations and people have created different norms, codes and systems to assess, grade and classify one’s abilities, knowledge and skills. Parents grow their children planning their future career without taking young people’s personal perspectives, vocation and desires into consideration. It has become the worst mistake of the modern society – to underestimate and depreciate one’s capacity and possibilities. Mike Rose in his article Blue-Collar Brilliance and Ken Robinson in his TED talk Do schools kill creativity raise this issue and make one start thinking about this mistake. The article by Mike ...

Introduction

Multiple researches suggest that dinosaurs are among the most successful groups of animals to have ever lived on earth. Their body physique and adaptability enhanced their survival thereby extending their life longevity. In the course of time, these species evolved into diverse shapes and sizes. As a result, the different types of evolved organisms embraced various modes of living. According to Xu (2006), nearly 150 years after the discovery of the first fossils of the dinosaur, this species was believed be a reptile. In fact, when Richard Owen found the first remains of this organism, the paleontologists used the ...

White collar crimes are often opposed to conventional crimes. The result of that opposition is that white collar crimes are said to be not so dangerous to the society as conventional crimes. Therefore, the issue of white collar crime arouses more limited public and formal response. Besides, its coverage in mass media and research is not as frequent as that of conventional crime. The objective of this paper is to compare these two types of crimes and show that the neglect of white collar crime issue can lead to such serious consequences as economic and political crises. People usually ...

White collar crime is the subject that is not widely covered in mass media and is often made public only in cases when it is necessary for some political purposes. However, such little attention to it does not make white collar crime and its consequences less significant and less worth studying. Moreover, modern technologies and the Internet, in particular, have equipped white collar criminals with new and more effective means of achieving their ill-intentioned goals. A click of a button may not only allow criminals to steal millions or billions of dollars in a second, but it can greatly ...

During the most recent recovery from an economic recession, an interesting phenomenon occurred. While the unemployment rate stayed about the same, the economy rebounded, in terms of gross domestic product (GDP), and hours worked per employee. There is one reasonable explanation for the so-called jobless recovery of 2009: automation and robotics. Automation and robotics can efficiently do the work of many different types of jobs. For example, middle-wage blue-collar jobs in manufacturing, warehousing, and transportation are quickly becoming automated (Sui & Jaimovich). In addition, many traditionally middle-wage white-collar jobs such as bank tellers and administrative assistants are being phased out ...

Crimes against Persons

Crimes against persons are those criminal conducts punishable under penal law and which are mainly committed against individuals as the victims (Gardner & Anderson, 2014, p.25). In such categories of crimes, the perpetrator or offender normally has the intention to cause the victim actual grievous bodily injury and harm. Examples of crimes under this category include rape, assault and murder.

Crimes against Property

These are a category of crimes in which the offender intends to take another person’s property with the intention of permanently depriving the owner of the property without necessarily intending to use force against them. Examples of these crimes ...

Some of the prevailing social and economic problems in America are attributed to the neoliberalism in the country. This paper suggests that neoliberalism in America is the cause of 2008 financial crises, inequality, the detrimental situation for workers and the economic growth, reduced social welfare, and aggravated crime.

Economic Impact

One of the major economic impacts of the neoliberalism in America is the 2008 financial crises. Among the other white collar crimes associated to the neoliberalism, financial crime is another nightmare attributed to the introduction of the free market. According to Burton (10), various studies have indicated that the neoliberalism in ...

MEMORANDUM

RE: Justification for the Future Existence of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Criminal Defense Practice With countries across the globe, including the US, facing unprecedented threats from organized crimes such as terrorism and drug trafficking, the existence of the RICO is justified in spite of the looming budget deficit and likely cutbacks ahead. Organized crimes as transnational or national criminal activities organized and executed by criminal organizations or enterprises with intent to kill, destroy and maim for money, profit and religious or political motivation, pose the greatest threat to our nation in the 21 century.

Being a fan of action movies, I have had many chances to see different films by Arnold Schwarzenegger, which gave me the urge to outsource for more of his information. Arnold is a person with a superstar or celebrity status in the community, and he lives a life that needs him to behave as a role model, unlike if he was not in the movie industry. The character is highly respected and must always be prepared for exposure to publicity and criticism whenever something small happens in his ways of life. There is a difference between the blue and ...

Introduction

This is one of the landlocked nations that border Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Zambia. The dominant language spoken in Botswana is the Set swana. Botswana was colonized by the British government and attained its independence in 1966 (Dollar, David and Roberta 11). The country appreciates and respects non-ethnic citizenship; it also promotes the concept of liberal democracy among its citizens. Women empowerment or the place of a woman has not only been a major issue of discussion in Botswana, but also in other parts of Africa. In most African nations, women do not possess equal socio-economic opportunities as ...

Theme: Love of God

The concept of the “Love of God” is very significant in this literary piece. First, the poem tackles the best behavior of the theme of obedience to the will of God. Its form intimately reflects one of the arguments of the poem. This literary piece starts with a description of an infuriated burst of upheaval by George Herbert:

“I struck the board, and cry'd, No more. I will abroad” (Herbert np)

Then, a contention of liberty and a grievance towards living with commitment which is one of the major objectives of the poet followed this upheaval. An arrogant dispute to the so-called gruesome sincerity and paralyzing apprehensiveness which is common in the ...

The feminine mystique refers to the situation where women in all arrays of activities are not satisfied with the “traditional” perspective of them being only housewives. The growing urge of women to want something more than their husbands, children and their homes. The idea of the past that says that it is automatic for a woman to be happy given these three factors is misguided as studies have shown that this is not the case. This idea then made women to view house work as careers and not performing it with love and care. Women involved in other activities ...

Introduction

Violence within prison complexes is common in almost all parts of the world. The violence can originate from staff or inmate. The correctional systems in several countries attempted newer approaches to incarceration in order to avoid violence on prison complexes. There are very few complexes in the world that have reduced rates of violence or can claim to be violence free. Instead of rehabilitation, prisoners face entrapment in a dangerous game. The level of accountability towards prisoners and their safety diminishes in regions such as Asia, Middle East, and South America. The United Nations established a set of international ...

Thoughts on Course Subject Matter

Contemporary business management identifies the appropriate way of thinking required to address issues as they erupt. The contemporary issues occur due to present and past practices and thinking. Similarly, future challenges will emerge because of the current actions. The dominant theme in quality management is the level of complexity that the contemporary leader must observe in decision-making and responses to present and future issues. Contemporary management invites the re-evaluation of historical leadership practices. The subject also looks at developing critical methods and tools that enable adaptive responses to emerging novel issues. The primary directive is to react to complexities ...

Abstract:

Theories were developed over the years, as researchers and sociologists tried to explain the reasons why there is crime within the communities. These theories include the social bonds theory, the self-control theory, the power control theory, the control balance theory, the differential coercion theory, and the social support theory. Based on the theories, there are five realities behind the causation of crime: (1) that crime is caused by weakening bonds to the society; (2) that crime is the effect of having low self-control; (3) that crime is caused by occupational patriarchy; (4) that it is caused by the roles ...

Pathophysiology

One of the most important parts of achieving the goal of being able to meet the patient’s entire healthcare (i.e. nursing) needs is to ensure that the underlying disease’s pathophysiology is well understood by all the stakeholder groups. These groups, in this case, would include the medical and healthcare practitioners, patients, and their respective family members. It would be a lot easier to instruct a patient to have a patient undergo a prescribed healthcare routine once he understands the nature of his condition, why each procedure is being done, and how they collectively contribute to the end-goal ...

White collar crimes are the crimes of the rich- committed by the rich in order to defraud others out of their money. Today, the methods of corruption and white collar crimes have altered and become more sophisticated than ever which makes it more difficult to catch the culprits. Although non-violent in nature, white collar crime is still damaging for the financial set up of society as it involves the top-most officials, government professionals, and business experts to carry out illegal activities involving money. In 1939, it was Edwin Sutherland who defined the crime as one which was committed by ...

Abstract

Can female participation in the labor force contribute to economic growth? Is there a causal relationship between female participation in the labor force and economic growth? This paper addresses these questions using the vector error correction model. For this study, an annual time series data for the period 1970 to 2012 for the United States has been used. The results show that there exists a co-integration between female participation and GDP per capita, which is a proxy measure for economic development. The result does not support a two-way causality between the variables. However, a causality running from GDP per ...

Over the past decades, the labor force in many nations has encountered drastic changes. An example can be drawn from the U.S. that has experienced a significant decline in the blue-collar jobs. The blue-collar work facilitated the employment of people with minimal skills and education. They worked in the manufacturing industries and earned a meager but honest living. However, with the onset of technology and globalization, the employment opportunities for the low-skilled laborers have reduced leaving many without sources of income. This essay looks at the changing patterns of labor from blue-collar to white-collar jobs and their effects. Recent ...

Introduction:

Crime has been an important study that has existed for a long duration of time. Yet it remains controversial with theoretical, historical and accounts of male and female involvement often inconclusive. The perpetrators of crime have for long being presumed to be men. Whether by design or by nature men have been the major actors in criminal activities is a matter of contention. This paper adds to the existing literature on gender differences in crime involvement by comparing different researches on crime with special emphasis on gender involvement. There have been several studies that have been carried out focusing ...

Blue collar jobs can seem like a lucrative and respectable choice for a career. They have several advantages such as the relative speed of vocational training compared to 4 year college, possibly better Return on Investment in terms of costs, and with potentially high enough skill barriers to afford a degree of protection and stability. However, in reality this is not the case, or is increasingly not the case as technology and the economy move us onto a different trajectory. In the near future, one of the key challenges is likely to be the replacement of large parts of ...

The study sought to establish how the race of the defendant and the type crime that the individual commits affects the decisions that jurors make (Gordon et al., 191). The research used 56 participants that focused on making the decisions on jail terms regarding both white and black hypothetical criminals that had committed blue-collar and white-collar offenses. The hypothesis of the study is: Do the race of the defendant and the type of crime affect juror decisions (Gordon et al., 192). There were two independent variables in the study.

Vocational Training

Introduction Higher education has a direct impact on the economic sustainability of any nation. This is the main reason as to why the American government sets aside billions of shillings to boost the education system. Any nation is often guided by the need to ensure that the potential of its citizens are exploited. Critical thinking plays a role in the decision-making process; yet many people end up making wrong choices. To achieve the American Dream, the education system must be transformed in order to act as the basis. It would be unfair, however, to over-prioritize education and insist on ...

ABSTRACT

Pilot uniforms, particularly in the commercial airline industry, conveys professionalism, competence, and experience. However, historically, uniforms started as a component of safety in aviation, which relied not just in their protective functions but as well in their capability to protect combat pilots from the natural elements of extreme heat and cold, particularly during the era of open cockpits. Protective flight clothing has evolved significantly through decades and even centuries. The sophisticated development in protected flight clothing, however, failed to influence adaption in the civil air transport industry. Using grounded theory through archival literature analysis, the Capstone Project revealed advantages ...

Introduction

The contemporary system of medical service has its respective roots in the health care system of the 19th century, where the dominating industrialization has resulted in the occurrence and further development of scientific medicine (Connerley and Wu, 2016). From the historical point of view, medical services have been provided by anyone who possesses enough skill/knowledge to be capable of healing people. In fact the majority of those people were the women (Evetts, 2000). According to the statistics of those days, it was less than 5% of women comprising the number of physicians working in the United States. The highest ...

Kempsville District was established in 1781 and remained the capital of the then Princess Anne County from 1778 to 1823. The county seat was then moved to Princess Anne, Virginia. Kempsville lies on the eastern branch of river Elizabeth. Due to this strategic location, Kempsville served as a port for transporting goods to and from the central and western parts of Princess Anne County (City of Virginia Beach, n.d., Historic Kempsville, para. 1). Transportation in the area was mainly via rivers. The area had vast, dispersed farms making agriculture the main pattern of development. Kempsville became under colonial rule ...

In our current society there is a myriad of sociological concepts taking place every moment. With the advent of the internet and social media these concepts are played out before us over and over again.

A Vanity Fair article written by Tina Nguyen outlines the violent outburst that have happened at the rallies between Trump supporters and those who are protesting at the rallies, as well as Trumps reactions to the violence. These events ...

The chapter under consideration is devoted the problem of white collar crimes, their history and the present-day state of affairs. The issue of white collar crimes is a complicated one because there is certain confusion what kind of offences can be referred to these crimes. Besides, due to the poor coverage of the problem for the public, white collar crimes are thought to be infrequent and, therefore not so important as the conventional crimes which are often associated with violence and direct offence. Moreover, many people sincerely believe that imprisonments for white collar crimes are unnecessary and even unwarranted. ...

Introduction

One of the major occupations of students studying crimes is to understand how criminal behaviors come about and why individuals are induced in engaging in deviant or criminal behaviors. Theories on crime and delinquency primarily explores this question to get a better understanding of individuals and society at large. Theorists drew from different fields of sciences such as sociology, psychology and biology, to find answers in uncovering individual motivations and structural inducement. One such theory that draws not only from sociology, but also from psychology, is the strain theory of Agnew. This paper provides a detailed discussion on the ...

Introduction

Many people classify white collar crime as a crime of opportunity and the statistics of the offenders show that they are mostly individuals entrusted with a positon from which they illegally syphoned personal gain.

You may only see a burglary in your area once or twice in a lifetime or hear of a shooting very seldom but the health care fraud ...

Workplace discrimination has been around for decades in most parts of the world. Discrimination refers to the disparate treatment of workers based on social and physiological indicators such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. The pervasiveness of discrimination manifests in the adverse psychological, social, occupational, and sometimes physical effects that the vice has on the victims. Over the last four decades, several countries have enacted antidiscrimination laws due to the mounting awareness and public outcry regarding workplace discrimination. These laws, coupled with avenues for redress in the courts, have been effective in significantly reducing cases of overt ...

Introduction The concept of white-collar crime refers to financial and nonviolent criminally punishable action, which is perpetrated by the business or by the government officials (Friedrichs, 1992, p. 21). This term was coined by one of the most renowned modern sociologists Edwin Sutherland, who used this term to describe a crime, which is committed by ‘a public employee or a high-ranked business man by using his occupation’ (Shapiro, 1990, p. 348). Nowadays, the ...

In 1947, the top 1% got 12% of the aggregate, and after three decades, in 1978, that stayed about the same - entirely bring down - at 9%. The main 1 percent's offer held at near 10% all through each of the three decades. The post-war period is broadly seen as a brilliant age of the white collar class, with an economy energized in critical part by working class spending. The working class prospered. Its numbers extended, and its expectations for everyday comforts climbed consistently. The U.S. economy developed, and that development lifted a large number of families out ...

History

The Great Depression of 1930s has played a very important role in changing views of Americans regarding labor and unions. There were many people employed, but after elections of the year 1932, the focus of government and courts shifted towards pleasing the labor. In the year 1935, National labor Act was passed. This act is also known as Wagner Act, which justified the rights of labor or workers for changing their representatives in democratic manner and gives right of bargaining collectively with employees. This act has ensured protection of labors from injury and interruptions by removing unrest from the ...

The legal principles of the United States were originally derived from the English and French legal systems, (Federal Judicial Center). Before that, those European systems were derived from Roman Law, (Federal Judicial Center). However, the system that we see in place in the United States today is derived from the United States Constitution, (Federal Judicial Center). The courts that comprise the federal and state systems are outlined in the Constitution. The Constitution essentially lays out the framework and limitations that the courts of the land can take. It is up to the Congress and the individual states to exercise ...

Earnings Differentials : Understanding the Gender Wage GapTerm Paper Workshop

In a May 2014 document released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics it was reported that although almost as many women as men are in the workforce (52% and 70.2%, respectively), males earn a higher median salary than females regardless of job type or race. Additionally, the most current census data show that women’s average earnings in the United States are only 71.3% of men’s (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014). This difference in earnings between men and women is not exclusive to the United States; however, it has been noted to be one of the largest ...
