The objective of prisons is mainly to ensure the public’s safety, reform an offender and upon the completion of their sentence, reintegrate them back in the society. According to Cole, Smith, and DeJong (2015), the duration of one’s sentence varies depending on the type of offense, an individual’s record, as well as other considerations. In order to achieve the underlying aim of the prison structure, it is imperative for offenders to serve their sentences in appropriate prisons to facilitate behavior change. In this regard, as per the case study presented, Austin is best suited for minimum, ...

Internal vs. External Penetration Tests

Penetration testing is a form of practice aimed at improving the security system of an organization by testing the computer systems, web application, network, and databases to establish possibilities of an attacker exploiting the system vulnerabilities. Two types of penetration testing exist, the internal and the external testing. The external penetration testing aims at determining the possibility of a remote attacker to access the internal network by accessing specific crown jewels and servers within the system’s internal network. It exploits the external perimeter of the technology, people, and process and systems connected to the public network infrastructure. The ...

Introduction

Natural disasters (e.g. forest fire, hurricane, tsunami) and persistent terrorism attacks remind companies, guests, and staffs of the hospitality industry to be ready for all forms of emergency. Security is not confined to only one element. Rather, it has been categorised into different kinds ranging from property damage prevention to potential injury and death within the hotel vicinity. To enhance security, numerous hotels have used closed circuit televisions, smoke detectors, fire sprinklers, and electronic locks. Hence, there are three types of security, namely, security of systems, security of persons, and physical aspects (Kusluvan et al., 2010). This paper discusses ...

According to Miller, Hess, and Orthmann (2013), a majority of community problems often affect a targeted population or geographical location. In this regard, this trend calls for the need to implement a similar problem-solving tactic, one that focuses primarily on the affected region or population. This concept is managed through application of the SARA Model, an acronym that stands for Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment. The application of this tactic assists in managing problems in a logical and sequential manner, hence increasing chances of success in solving the issue at hand. This paper will apply SARA as a problem-solving ...

According to John Arend, Mike Benkert, Audrey deFilippis and Saretta Tillmaand, when the Commerzbank building opened its doors in 1997, the “53-story” edifice became the one of the “tallest” buildings located in Europe (1). Nevertheless, the edifice’s distinctiveness did not come from its height, but, rather, it came from the way in which it combined “form, inventiveness, and technical expertise” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & Tillmaand 1). The design and construction of the Commerzbank saw the “[b]reaking away from the American model of deep-planned, air-conditioned structures” that have a “central service core” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & ...

Introduction

Occupations safety and health (commonly abbreviated as OSH) is an important aspect of any professional environment. The purpose of this toolkit is ensure that safety, health and welfare requirements of the people, who are employed by the organization, are duly protected. In addition, among the purposes of OSH include the protection of outsiders, customers, the natural environment and other stakeholders, who may be potentially affected by any unforeseen emergencies of a business institution, or by the dangerous production process of its industrial units (Roughton & Mercurio, 2002). The present case focuses on the analysis of occupational security procedures followed by ...

Overview

The Burj Khalifa boasts the accolade as the tallest structure in the world (Baker, 2009). The construction of this building surpassed several construction records that had been set by previous record holder skyscrapers. The recording-holding height is not the only interesting aspect of the structure. The construction of the building took six years. The construction of the building required the input of more than thirty contracting companies and over twelve thousand workers drawn from over one hundred countries. A construction project of this magnitude is faced with various challenges (Baker, 2009). In additional, sound geotechnical, structural, and economic aspects ...

When considering the relationship between architecture and economy, the physical attributes and architectural aspects of Burj Khalifa are less important than the way in which the building was part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at establishing Dubai as a major city capable of compeering a global scale (Aldred 204). The extent of media attention garnered by the Burj Khalifa and the appearance of the building in films from Bollywood to Hollywood has contributed to promoting Dubai across the worlds. Unlike the exchange value of International City which establishes by the resale through “flipping” apartment units and rental retunes, the ...

For this organizational plan, I would propose studying a bank/currency trading organization. The reason for this choice is that these organizations need many forms of security that are not solely physical forms of security. In establishing a new branch of “Bank A,” there are a plethora of security concerns for me to consider as a manager. What a manager would prospectively have to consider when implementing this kind of security plan for their organization is both physical and cyber threats to security. The reason for this is that Bank A is particularly vulnerable to both kind of threats pertaining ...

Following The American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Abstract Most buildings once completed take at least one year to settle and require repairs and maintenance. However, many older multiple dwelling buildings have suffered unforeseen issues. The most common problem is water ingress through the building envelope. The reason why residential buildings are critical and require closer and immediate attention is because these buildings belong to people who have invested their life savings into them for comfort and spend most of their time in those places. Commercial and industrial buildings do not require as much attention and their environmental separation requirements vary because they are only occupied ...

Question1

For this particular scenario, I would use several layers of security because this compound is comprised of various components or buildings each having different significance or importance. Using different security for each layer would ensure that even if intruders are able to breach through one layer, they will be incapable of breaching the other layers using the same techniques that they might have used for the previous one (Bernard, 2007). I would, therefore, invite the best security experts to ensure the particular component of security that has been used one layer is not used on the other. The corporate ...

Shoring

A shoring system is necessary so as to ensure safety for the workers. The basement construction process will involve excavation near the neighboring building. The neighboring building is delicate because it was constructed long before the Australian standards of footing were set up. If shoring is not done, the workers will be at danger of a collapsing building. Shoring will help to offer support to the building so that it does not collapse in the process of constructing the basement. Shoring will also help in speeding up the excavation process. Secant pile walls and sheet piling systems are two good ...

Question one: Explosives

The Oklahoma City bombing occurred at nine o’clock during the day in April 1995. It saw the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building. Two critical safety steps that were essential in the management of the disaster entailed the establishment of a safety perimeter that would limit the extent to which the first respondents could reach and the immediate withdrawal of the trapped bodies from the danger zones. The former essentially contributes in accountability and management of the respondents. It should be noted that the respondents’ desire to save anybody in the disaster must never escalate to levels that ...

There are varied definitions of common property that exist in various contexts. Its application and use is, therefore, determined by the specific context. Our definition of common property is in relation to real tangible property. Common property in this context of real properties can be defined as a property that is collectively owned by public or a community to which every member of the community has equal right to use and access. Sometimes, the government can own common property. Where government owns common properties, all citizens have a right to use it in various activities. The ownership and product of that property ...

3.3 AIRPORTS/FACILITIES 3.3.1 Hangars Considering the moderate number of annual enplanements fit for a regional airport, Lafayette Regional Airport features relatively fewer aircrafts compared to international airports, henceforth requiring fewer hangars for aircrafts. Nevertheless, construction of hangars must stand as a priority measure for improving the security of aircrafts inside Lafayette Regional Airport. Securing aircrafts inside hangars is a major concern of Lafayette Regional Airport, particularly with regard to maintaining the number of annual enplanements. Any untoward damage to any aircraft inside Lafayette Regional Airport caused by the lack of proper hangars may affect annual enplanements. Fully equipping hangars with ...

Books, atlases and maps are precious and at the same time vulnerable. It is important to preserve our popular culture through maintaining, caring and providing ...

Purpose of Classification Systems

Classification systems are used throughout the US prison system. In common with similar approaches in other states, California’s Department of Corrections (CDC) uses such a system in the interest of increasing the efficiency of utilization of available incarceration facilities. For example, by assigning offenders to the most appropriate type of prison accommodation, the highest security accommodation (which is also more costly to operate) is reserved for the prisoners for whom that higher level of security is considered necessary. Issues such as the likelihood of misconduct in prison and the escape risk have to be taken into account, too (Berk & ...

Network security consist of requirements and procedures implemented by a network administrator to thwart and observe prohibited access, exploitation, alteration, or denial of a computer network and available assets. The network administrator must lay the groundwork to all users and administrators by implementing policies, performing a risk analysis, and have a security team available to deter any attacks against the network. Firewalls and secure authentication can be utilized for deterrence of the network. Furthermore, a response to identify the attack is necessary in order to pinpoint the source and block the attack. Compromised machines must be identified and restored to facilitate in re-establishing the ...

The World Health Organization and Center for Disease control are preoccupied with finding antidotes for various viruses that seem to trouble the globe citing the recent case of Ebola as an example. One might be moved to think that an infamous zombie virus might just develop and cause an equal devastation to the world as we know it. Several movies and series have been aired on our screens illustrating the horrors that accompany the development of a zombie virus, but what stands out is that zombies are remarkable easy to kill. Thus, I always ask myself these questions. How would ...

Her husband, Torvald has also been depicted as a complex character who cannot be regarded as either ...

Police procedures for responding to calls involving special situations

Police officers as the principal public safety persons respond to a host of emergency situations, some ordinary others quite unusual (Ortmeier, 2006). In each of these situations, the responding officer is expected to either solve or at least contain the situation. Inevitably, an officer will be called or while on patrol respond to a situation they have never experienced (Ortmeier, 2001). In other instances the situation may be usual but requiring special attention owing to the circumstances. These situations are referred to as special situations and there are corresponding procedures for each situation.

Introduction

People have powerful attitudes when it comes to their territory or what they call their ‘turf’. When a person enters the personal space of another, there is a tendency of the latter to feel intruded upon. It does not matter whether there is physical contact, the feeling and reaction is usually the same. The interpretation of this intrusion is usually negative. It will probably imply the intruder as mentally unstable, practicing unacceptable behavior or even having criminal intent in their action.
