...Hardware Theft and Vandalism Hardware theft and vandalism are other types of computer security risks. Hardware theft is the act of stealing computer equipment. Hardware vandalism is the act of defacing or destroying computer equipment. Hardware vandalism takes many forms, from someone cutting a computer cable to individuals breaking into a business or school computer lab and aimlessly smashing computers. Companies, schools, and other organizations that house many computers are at risk of hardware theft and vandalism, especially those that have smaller system units that easily can fit in a backpack: briefcase. Mobile users also are susceptible to hardware theft. It is estimated that more than 600,000 notebook computers are stolen each year. The size and weight of these computers make them easy to steal. Safeguards against Hardware Theft and Vandalism To help reduce the chances of theft, companies and schools use a variety of security measures. Physical access controls, such as locked doors and windows, usually are adequate to protect the equipment. Many businesses, schools, and some homeowners install alarm systems for additional security. School computer labs and other areas with a large number of semi-frequent users often attach additional physical security devices such as cables that lock the equipment to a desk, cabinet, r floor. Small locking devices also exist that require a key to access a hard disk or optical disc drive. Some businesses use a real time location...

...Project on theft - Section 378 of IPC INTRODUCTION In common usage, theft is the taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it. The word is also used as an informal shorthand term for some crimes against property, such as burglary, embezzlement, larceny, looting, robbery, shoplifting and fraud. In some jurisdictions, theft is considered to be synonymous with larceny; in others, theft has replaced larceny.

...Emergency Management Case-Study The City Manager of Marshall, Florida has expressed concerns over two issues that he believes are directly related to the City’s post storm and tornado recovery. He has presented some statistics regarding spikes in crime after each critical incident and during the recovery period after storms. He has also provided some empirical information pertaining to a noticeable increase in reported injuries to hospitals. He noted that the injuries were not necessarily the result of the storms themselves, but injuries that occurred during the assessment and recovery period. The City Manager proposes a multi-agency/all-hazards approach to addressing this problem. The goal of this case study is to evaluate that philosophy for its potential implementation. There are several issues that require careful inspection in order to develop a comprehensive plan that would successfully solve the dilemma posed by the City Manager. Issues regarding logistics, operational planning, training, policies and procedures, and legal restraints, are just a few areas that may instigate contention. In addition, there are cost and budget concerns to consider when developing a solution to the problem. The City of Marshall, like many other municipalities around the country, has budgetary and staffing problems. The Fire and Police departments are inadequately staffed compared to other similar sized cities around the country, which becomes painfully apparent during responses to...

...Two theories of criminal behaviour and their factors Developmental theories of crime A study performed by a psychologist Terri Moffitt (1993), she described a dual taxonomy of offending behaviour, and she attempted to explain the developmental processes that can lead to a distinctive shape of the age crime curve. Her original views was that the theory is one of the more important articles in criminology and proposes that there are two types of anti-social behaviour offender’s display in society. Adolescent offender’s exhibit anti-social behaviour only during their adolescent stages these are called limited adolescent offenders, whereas life-course-persistent offenders behave like this early in the childhood stages and continue to behave this way as a part of life until it becomes more serious in adult life. This theory focuses more on the anti-social aspects of crime as there are different definitions of crime across cultures and due to the similar characteristics and trajectories this theory can then be applied to both of the sexes. There are recognised disorders than can contribute to crime and that form criminals, in some cases not because they want to but because of a disorder such as (ASPD) Anti-social Personality Disorder. It is recognised by the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders 4th edition) in most cases individual who display anti-social behaviour have been convicted and gone through court processes without being diagnosed. This disorder...

John, a past pharmacist at PharmaCARE, came into the firm with apprehensions of PharmaCARE’s usage of AD23, the establishment’s number one selling diabetes drug. A few years ago PharmaCARE’s study showed the AD23 would also slow the advancement of Alzheimer’s disease. This led John and the other pharmacologists that he led to reformulate the drug to capitalize on its outcome. To evade the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) inspection, PharmaCARE founded an exclusively held company, CompCARE, to function as a compounding pharmacy. This company would retail the new invention to people by prescription only. CompCARE profited from PharmaCARE’s standing, records, systems, and trades and marketing skill, and within several months the health community was talking about AD23. Response was good, mainly amongst Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs patients. Realizing the chance to get additional income, CompCARE started marketing AD23 straight to customers and promoting AD23 right to clinics, hospitals, and physician offices, although compounding pharmacies are not allowed to market medicines in large qualities for common use. To dodge this provision, CompCARE pushed...

...high as 21 years in others. The 16- to 20-year age group, considered adult in many places, has one of the highest incidences of serious crime. A high proportion of adult criminals have a background of early delinquency. Theft is the most common offense by children; more serious property crimes and rape are most frequently committed in later youth. The causes of such behavior, like those of crime in general, are found in a complex of psychological, social, and economic factors. Clinical studies have uncovered emotional maladjustments, usually arising from disorganized family situations, in many delinquents. Other studies have suggested that there are persisting patterns of delinquency in poverty-level neighborhoods regardless of changing occupants; this "culture of poverty" argument has come into disrepute among many social scientists. The gang, a source of much delinquency, has been a common path for adolescents, particularly in the inner cities. Not until the development, after 1899, of the juvenile court was judgment of youthful offenders effectively separated from that of adults. The system generally emphasizes informal procedure and correction rather than punishment. In some states, psychiatric clinics are attached, and there has been a tendency to handle cases in public welfare agencies outside the court. Juvenile correctional institutions have been separated from regular prisons since the early 19th cent., and although most are inadequate, some have developed intensive rehabilitation...

...be opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and improvement. But conflict can also be costly to an organization. The trouble isn't necessarily the fact that conflict exists. It's how we deal with those conflicts or what happens when they aren't resolved. The impact of conflict in the workplace can be devastating - to the parties involved, to colleagues and teams, to clients, and to the business as a whole. Some of the results of unresolved conflict in the workplace include: * Stress, frustration, and anxiety * Loss of sleep * Strained relationships * Grievances and litigation * Presenteeism * Employee turnover * Loss of productivity * Increased client complaints * Absenteeism * Sabotage * Injury and accidents * Disability claims * Sick leave These symptoms of unresolved conflict are a significant cost factor in organizations.

...CASE STUDY Third-party motor insurance: Your premiums may see only modest hike By Preeti Kulkarni, ET Bureau | 20 Mar, 2015, 11.47AM IST MUMBAI: The insurance regulator has invited responses to a proposal to increase the third-party motor insurance premium by 14% to 108%. However, industry observers believe that the hike will not be so steep. "Like last year, the hike will be moderated. It may not go beyond 20%," said a senior executive[->0] of a private general insurance company. In February 2014, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) had proposed an increase of 25-136% and 0.96-45% for private cars and twowheelers, respectively. However, the final hike was only around 20%. Third-party motor insurance is mandatory and protects the owner of the vehicle against any compensation sought by the victim of a road accident caused by the vehicle.There is no cap on the compensation that a victim can claim in case of an accident. But there is a cap on the third-party premium. Insurers want this cap removed so that they can charge according to the risk they undertake. "The regulator and insurers understand that they need to make a pitch for higher rates to get what they actually aim for. That is the reason why the proposed hike looks steep. It will be significantly watered down when the final rates are announced, " said a Mumbai-based insurance broker[->1]. Moreover, third-party component accounts for a small portion (10-20%) of your comprehensive...

...the actions, behaviour, opinions, etc., of others while Oxford dictionary defined society as a community of people living in a particular country or region and having shared customs, laws and organisations. People can be influenced in the society they live in by the role of law that regulates adults as members of the society which includes how civil liability known as law of negligence and criminal liability such as theft could influence people. (The Open University 2013, Block 1, page 87). Civil law is used to settle dispute between individuals, the party at fault would have to pay compensation or comply with another suitable outcome. A judge would have to hear both party and make a final decision. On the other hand, criminal law is about creating laws for protection of all individuals within society and for the punishment of those individuals who break the law. Criminal law sets out types of behaviour that are forbidden, such as theft, and if such behaviour occurs then punishment follows. Negligence could occur as an act of omission which could foresee the injury of a neighbour. In other to guide against negligence, the ‘’neighbour principle’’ was in acted which state that ‘you must take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions which you can reasonably foresee would be likely to injure your neighbour or persons who are so closely and directly affected by my act that I ought reasonably have in contemplation as being so affected when I am directing my mind to the act or omissions...

...Lizbeth Gerena Business Law 201 Writing Assignment 1 Prof. Benichou May 3, 2015 Case Study 1 Crime: The students at Gigantic State University (GSU) committed several crimes when they decided to take over Dunfee Hall. The most dangerous was the assault with a deadly weapon (firearm). Whether it was real or just a play gun it was used to represent a real gun. The victim thought it to be real and she collapsed in a sobbing heal on her desk. The second crime that was committed that was the most alarming, was the hostage take over. They stormed the building and blocked Mr. Chandler in his office and would not let him out. Even though he was asleep in his office and had no knowledge of what was going on out side of his door, I believe he was still being held against his will. The third crime committed was burglary, entering a building or residence with the intent to commit a felony or theft. Let’s use the example of the students storming the building and preventing the secretary (Prudence) from calling the Campus Police and the fact that the phone was slapped from her hand. These three crimes were the most important and also most dangerous crimes committed. They are also part of what laws and rights were violated. Of course, the students do have the right to protest however, they do not have the right to put another person in harms way or threatened...

...more that crimes of identity theft and organized crime are on the rise. I am writing this to let you know more about crime and theft rates. One of the most difficult problems of our society is robbery. Robbery can occur almost anywhere at anytime, especially on the streets. Many states define robbery as theft accomplished by violence or the threat of violence. Guns are the most deadly weapons that can be used by the thief, which can cause the victim to suffer and injuries. Some thieves even kill the person after robbing their belongings. (According to the 2006 FBI Uniform Crime Reports, 447,403 robberies were reported to the police at the rate of one per minute in the United States. Robberies varied according to region with the Southern States having the highest percentage of 38.3%, the Western States 23.6%, the Northeastern States 18.5%, and the Midwestern States at 19.5%.) Society sees criminal justice as an officer making an arrest or patrolling the streets. Society does not realize that the criminal justice system has a government type structure, has goals, and is made up of three components. These components include the Police, Courts, and the Correction system. Each one of these components has its own function and purpose. The police enforce the law, arrest offenders, decrease and prevent crimes, maintain public order, ensure safety of the public and to protect their rights. The courts conduct fair and impartial trials, decide criminal cases, ensure due process, determine...
