...Kianna Petty Social Organized Crime Perspective Paper CJA/384 April 12, 2015 Professor Edward Rafailovitc According to Webster II New Riverside University Dictionary definition, social institutions have been identified as groups of people that work together for common purposes or interest, possessing and developing, responsibilities, rights, protections, and objectives distinct different from other members (Webster II New Riverside University Dictionary, 1996).This paper will explore the social institutions as well as their relationship to organized crime, and further explore the empirical or speculative theories that are applicable to organized crime and behavior. Any type of social institutions consists of a group of people who share a desired result. Generally, there are five different types of social institutions. They are political, educational, religious, economic, and family. The average social institution is an organization of people who abide by the laws and follow the general rules and guidelines in a collective manner. These social groups could be a normal club with one thing or goal in common. Some social institutions that most people are familiar with are the Boys and Girl Clubs, the Cub Scouts, and the Girl Scouts. Further, family, school, church, government agencies are not the only social groups, organized crime organizations have adopted the philosophy of social institutions. Organized crime also had people with a vested interest in the business of killing...

A recommendation of gaining control over organized crime is also a topic in this document. Several theories can assist law enforcement, society, researchers, and professionals by providing an insight into the early development stages of criminal organization. Each theory has facts, research, and statistics to support the theories. The data collection provides an in-depth understanding why an organized crime group’s flourish and the reason these individual engage in criminal behavior. Additionally, theories assist law enforcement with determining a demographic area and individuals at risk of engaging in organized crime.

...Hood’s Problems Robin and his Merrymen had a myriad of problems, some that were of more importance than others. One of his main problems was dealing with the Sheriff who he had revolted against due to a conflict with the Sheriff and his administration. The Sheriff was beginning to gain momentum against Robin and his men due to his growing strength, better organization and close ties to Prince John. Robin also faced the problems that came with a growing band such as the lack of food for everyone, the high cost of feeding everyone, and the decreasing discipline among the men. Furthermore, Robin was also confronted with the vicious and volatile Prince John who would seek rancorous revenge if he were to find out that Robin was part of the conspiracy to remove him from power. 3. Robin Hood and the Merrymen’s Future Mission and Plan I believe that continuing their present course of action will only result in financial failure and therefore the end of the Merrymen. This is because, just like any company today, innovation and change is necessary for survival in a strongly dynamic environment. Robin’s operating environment was changing drastically, as people began avoiding the forest so that they could avoid having their goods confiscated by Robin and his men. For this reason it is imperative that Robin and the Merrymen change their future Mission and Plan. 4. Fixed Transit Taxation I believe that imposing a fixed transit tax to counter the decline in revenues is the only...

...things by the law. They do not take extensive training in customer service and do not concentrate on being nice. The offices that are being referred to are government offices such as Welfare, DMV, and Section 8. In contrast, patron-client facilities are offices or places that focus upon pleasing their clients because if they don’t, the patron will go to another facility to get their needs met. This brings us to the similarities and differences of the models of organized crime. According to Lyman (2007) there are three theories of organized crime that help in the understanding of criminal organizations. The first theory is the Alien Conspiracy theory, which blames outside influences and outsiders for the rise of organized crime in American society. Second, the Rational Choice theory is when a person weighs the pros and cons of living a certain lifestyle; in addition they also know what the consequences of their actions are as well. Finally, the deterrence theory is one that believes that putting large punishments and fear in place to make criminals think about the consequences before they commit a crime. There are also other theories such as the Learning theory, which is when an individual has the attitude, values, and morality of a criminal and uses these tools to have a criminal career. In addition, social disorganization links the...

...Abstract Technological advances have affected the definition of the right to privacy more than any other right provided for under the Constitution. Technological advances have triggered many privacy right cases imputing infringement of Fourth Amendment rights. Many of these types of privacy infringement cases involve, among others, wire-tapping, internet-tapping and other cyber crimes. The Fourth Amendment essentially protects the privacy of individuals from unwarranted govermental intrusion. This paper compares and contrast public safety versus civil rights issues based on the impact of technological advances on individual privacy rights. Lost in the Matrix Introduction Technological advances have created ground-breaking ways in which individual privacy can be infringed upon. These innovative technological advances have, among other novel affects, increased the ability to gather and share information. This increased ability has nearly made it impossible to retain privacy. Database systems have become so advanced that much more information can be stored on these databases worldwide leaving individuals with no method of knowing or controlling what type of information about themselves are being accessed. Information privacy has become a major privacy rights issue in the criminal justice system. This paper compares and contrast public safety versus civil rights issues based on the impact of technological advances on individual privacy rights. Privacy Rights Laws ...

...Higashi is trying to make them conform. In addition to the cultural conflicts, Kelly and her peers are also disliked by the Japanese workers because they believe that everyone should show dedication to their jobs by working long hours without pay. Needless to say, the foreigners do not agree and are committed to honoring what’s contained in their contracts only. Things begin to go awry when Kelly calls out sick while experiencing flu-like symptoms. Mr. Higashi responds and tells her that she must bring in a doctor’s note that attests to her sickness upon return and this irritates her but she complies. Ironically, Mark and Suzanne also call out sick on this day and Mr. Higashi becomes very suspicious and believes that there may be a conspiracy to miss work. Upon return, Kelly presents her note and is approached from a representative from human resources...

...HEALTH CARE: SHOW ME THE MONEY By defining health-care fraud, observers should be aware that hard-earned money is wasted annually. Consequently, more precautions should be enforced to safeguard citizens’ tax dollars. Simply put, health-care fraud is the submission of false claims by individuals acting with disregard to the truth (Lovitky, 1997). Individuals, empowered to be health care providers, can be guilty of committing health care fraud, as well as major corporations (Sparrow, 1996). According to former Attorney General of the United States, Janet Reno, states health-care fraud ranks second of the top priorities of the Department of Justice, just behind narcotics interdiction (Lovitky, 1997). Health-care fraud typically involves violations by way of: overutilization; up coding; billing for services not provided; failing to provide necessary services; and filing false cost reports (Lovitky, 1997). Fundamentally, overutilization is defined as providing medical services not needed or required. In the process of overutilization, fraud takes place when more services are provided than what the situation calls for, or when medical services are never performed and still billed to the insurance company (Lovitky, 1997). Up coding, according to Lovitky (1997), involves Current Procedure Terminology (CPT). The CPT code accurately describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and it is designed to make medical services and procedures consistent among physicians, coders...

...Colin Pitchfork in 1988. Only one-tenth of a single percent of DNA differs from one person to the next. Scientists or forensic profilers can use this to generate a DNA profile of an individual using samples from blood, bone (marrow), hair, semen and other body fluids and tissues. Main Body In 1984 a very popular figure of the party Greenpeace Hilda Murrell was murdered in Shrewsbury. She had been stabbed, sexually abused and kidnapped before being left to die in a Shropshire wood of hypothermia along with her other injuries. She was due to give evidence at a public inquiry about a proposed nuclear reactor. Also her nephew played a crucial part in the sinking of the Belgrano during the Falklands war. This prompted a rash of conspiracy theories pointing the finger at British Intelligence Services looking for secret documents. West Mercia Police spent a lot of time, effort and money on investigating this case due to the high profile nature of it however no suspect could be found. This warranted more calls that she had been murdered by British Intelligence to the point that even books and documentaries were made of the murder. In 2002 West Mercia Police...

However there are some pros and cons to having a tad bit NPD. I could easily become a role model because I think high of myself. I also could make people feel comfortable about themselves because I am so comfortable with who I am. The con side of that is that people could feel intimidated about my aura. It could be that I am too comfortable with that and myself could cause people to feel like I am not relatable. Also I could become so engulfed with me that I lose sight of what the client is there for. I would not...

...cultural difference between the Middle East and the west is incredibly different. Second, the Arab acceptance of a western brand could be tough. Then comes the ambiguity about the success of the localization strategy. Also, the possibility of MTV Arabia to be altered by the local programming could be expected. There is a considerable number of existing Arab music channels, thus, the competition might be difficult as they have the same focus as MTV Arabia. Although those challenges, MTV Networks invaded the Arabian market and applied a business strategy that enabled it to build a solid infrastructure. This paper analyzes the challenges that MTV faced during this process and the strategy that it applied to move forward highlighting its pros and cons. We will also analyze its success and survival in the market. Launching MTV Arabia in the Arab world is the most challenging process that MTV went through. Dana El Baltalji, a special Projects Manager, Trends magazine in Dubai said: “MTV has a penchant for airing controversial material and making a mockery of convention. And of course, it’s an American brand. The challenge, therefore, is transforming a notoriously risqué channel into a Middle Eastern-friendly platform for music and creativity without stripping MTV of its edge. It is not without some irony that a channel known for angering religious, political and conservative communities is operating in and catering to a region renowned for reacting (and sometimes overreacting)...
