...SWOT Analysis Assignment Letanya Mercer Strategic Planning for Business - 4 Instructor: Lois Chipman-Sullivan Everest University In order to complete this assignment correctly we have to have the full understanding of a SWOT analysis. According to inevestopedia.com SWOT analysis can be defined as; a tool that identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of an organization. Specifically, SWOT is a basic, straightforward model that assesses what an organization can and cannot do as well as its potential opportunities and threats. The method of SWOT analysis is to take the information from an environmental analysis and separate it into internal (strengths and weaknesses) and external issues (opportunities and threats). Once this is completed, SWOT analysis determines what may assist the firm in accomplishing its objectives, and what obstacles must be overcome or minimized to achieve desired results. (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/swot.asp) For this assignment we have to create a SWOT analysis for a fictitious organization providing variations for a small business, not for profit, a government agency, and multinational corporation.

...intervention programs and agencies responding to delinquent and other behaviors identified in juvenile statutes. The system may encompass delinquents, status offenders and victims of abuse and neglect. Juvenile justice system agencies are urged to develop policies, programs and practices reflecting the following principles: Juvenile justice systems must have the flexibility to meet the needs of the broad range of children and youth served, from the most violent youth to those children who are victims of abuse and neglect. The judicial process, treatment and authority vested must be responsive to the needs of children and youth and to protecting society. For many years studies have shown that child abuse and neglect are predictive of delinquent behavior and adult crime. Moreover, general societal attitudes of intolerance of differences and glorification of violence contribute to these same behaviors. These root causes must be addressed through appropriate intervention throughout the juvenile justice process as well as through changes at the community level. Therefore: 1. The juvenile justice system must offer a continuum of services which includes the appropriate resources to meet the needs of children and youth who are victims and/or offenders. Such a continuum should offer a range of services from prevention and early intervention to remedial and extended care and custody while recognizing the importance of partnerships with other systems of service delivery. The priority of...
