...College Campus Crimes: Content Analysis Approach Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of model of term research paper Nandi Harris Mississippi Valley State University Rochelle Cobbs Victimology When you think of the word victim, what exactly comes to mind? Someone who has been physically or mentally assaulted against their will? A person who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, right? Wrong, victims are people who have undergone a heinous experience of which they will never be the same again. When one becomes a victim, a piece of one’s life is permanently snatched away from them. If it wasn’t life itself the most valuable attribute that has been stolen from them is their piece of mind. There are many people that have been victims of several crimes and some survivors don’t overcome their experiences so they end up living a life of fearfulness and paranoia. Victimology is defined as the study of these victims of crime and the psychological effects they have on them from their experience. Victims come in every shape and size known to man, a victim can be anywhere around you at any time or you could be the victim yourself. I believe crimes take a toll on people the most when they’re college students living on campus. There are several crimes reported each year in regards to on campus college students, from a student’s car being broken into, to a student being raped on campus, all the way to students being killed on campus. According to victimsofcrime...

...I-Search University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UABP) Keyana Mapp Mrs. Rayford AP Literature 16 November 2011 THE RESEARCH QUESTION College is very important to me and I know I am not the first in my family to go but I am probably the most excited to go. I have look at so many colleges and I have to narrow down my choices. After having three colleges on my list, I have narrowed it down to one, and I decided to narrow it down to The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. I want to attend the University Of Arkansas at Pine Bluff because, a visitor from the college comes to visit Normandy and I was ecstatic by his presentation. After the presentation, I knew that the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff was the college for me. I have always wanted to attend a HBCU (historically black college or university). I plan to visit the campus during my winter break to get the feel of the college and see how the atmosphere was. Before I decide to go see the college, I am going to do my research on it and get a background check to be sure. From the research, I do on the college. I hope it is interesting because I am so anxious to choose the college I am going to and start my life on my own. MY RESEARCH PROCESS I started my research process by going straight to the online website because I believed that would have the most information. I also talked to one of the admission officers (Whimper C., Personal Communication RE: Information on UABP, E-mail to the author, 1 Oct 2011) who visited Normandy...

...Programs: Risk Management Albert Einstein once said, “There is no scientific antidote (to the atomic bomb), only education. You’ve got to change the way people think. I am not interested in disarmament talks between nations - What I want to do is to disarm the mind. After that, everything else will automatically follow. The ultimate weapon for such mental disarmament is international education.” Although those words were spoken decades ago, they are most applicable in the current era of our society. Today, international education programs are faced with several socio and macro-economic challenges, particularly in the United States. These dynamics significantly impact the education programs, driven primarily by government intervention. This paper will explore the interrelationship between government, institutions, students, and risk management, and prove that U.S. government interaction negatively impacts the effectiveness of post-secondary international education programs. Antiquated regulations severely limit operational execution and potential innovation, resulting in an increase in both regulatory and financial risks for the participating institutions. Challenges in the regulatory environment are ever increasing, including financial headwinds that significantly limit the regulatory bodies. Such constraints lead to restrictive prioritization of their tasks in order to stay effective. Their priority setting process, understandably non-transparent, helps them to balance which risks...

...Student Name: David Mc Namara. Title: Are we moving towards Assisted Suicide? “Those who have exhausted the end seek the right to die with dignity, this is a choice to die, which allows the body to speak its end rather than have that end dictated by the voice of an expert, legal or medical” (Hannifin. 2009, p.84) The person who seeks to die is, to paraphrase Foucault, ‘the Passenger par excellence: that is, the prisoner of the passage’ (Foucault. 1967, p.11) The European Convention on Human Rights sets out a number of fundamental rights and freedoms, right to life, prohibition of torture, prohibition of slavery and forced labour, right to liberty and security, right to a fair trial, no punishment without law, right to respect and family life, freedoms of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and association, right to marry, right to effective remedy, and prohibition of discrimination The Council of Europe produced the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in 1950. This body was formed in the aftermath of the Second World War to achieve unity among its members in such matters as the protection of fundamental rights. The Convention was drafted after the atrocities of the Second World War. The Convention was signed by the High Contracting Parties in 1950, and came into force in1953. It was ratified by the United Kingdom in 1957. Article 2 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental...

...Chapter 1 Ethical Reasoning: Implications for Accounting Ethics Reflection PENN STATE CHILD ABUSE SCANDAL: A CULTURE OF INDIFFERENCE What motivates an otherwise ethical person to do the wrong thing when faced with an ethical dilemma? Why did Joe Paterno and administrators at Penn State University look the other way and fail to act on irrefutable evidence that former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had raped and molested young boys, an offense for which Sandusky currently is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence? According to the independent report by Louis Freeh that investigated the sexual abuse, four of the most powerful people at Penn State, including president Graham Spanier, athletic director Timothy Curley, senior vice president Gary Schultz, and head football coach Joe Paterno, sheltered a child predator harming children for over a decade by concealing Sandusky’s activities from the board of trustees, the university community, and authorities. The Freeh report characterizes the inactions as lacking empathy for the victims by failing to inquire as to their safety and wellbeing. Not only that, but they exposed the first abused child to additional harm by alerting Sandusky, who was the only one who knew the child’s identity, of what assistant coach Mike McQueary saw in the shower on the night of February 9, 2001.1 McQueary testified at the June 2012 trial of Sandusky that when he was a graduate assistant, he walked into the locker room and heard sounds of slapping...

...1575 ESSAYS by Michel de Montaigne translated by Charles Cotton I. OF CUSTOM, AND THAT WE SHOULD NOT EASILY CHANGE A LAW RECEIVED. HE seems to have had a right and true apprehension of the power of custom, who first invented the story of a countrywoman who, having accustomed herself to play with and carry, a young calf in her arms, and daily continuing to do so as it grew up, obtained this by custom, that, when grown to be a great ox, she was still able to bear it. For, in truth, custom is a violent and treacherous schoolmistress. She, by little and little, slily and unperceived, slips in the foot of her authority, but having by this gentle and humble beginning, with the benefit of time, fixed and established it, she then unmasks a furious and tyrannic countenance, against which we have no more the courage or the power so much as to lift up our eyes. We see her, at every turn, forcing and violating the rules of nature: "Usus efficacissimus rerum omnium magister." I refer to her Plato's cave in his Republic, and the physicians, who so often submit the reasons of their art to her authority; as the story of that king, who by custom brought his stomach to that pass, as to live by poison, and the maid that Albertus reports to have lived upon spiders. In that new world of the Indies, there...
