The Tyco two were tried and found guilty in 2005, and are currently serving a 25- year- sentence. Crime never pays and it is only a matter of time before one is caught. The damage done affects all people involved including the innocent families of the victims and criminals. These two may not have ruined the company, but they ruined themselves. The question is was it worth it? Partners in Crime: The Tyco Threesome When people think of criminals; they tend to stereotype this to involve thugs and the lower class. However, this is not always the case. Participants of the privileged society are also capable of criminal behavior, but usually in a more complex manner. One of the more popular high society crimes involves business scandals and is termed “white-collar.” These crimes stem from greedy business and government professionals who become financially motivated to commit a nonviolent work related crime that usually includes hoarding large amounts of money...

...Helena Eliasson LIBRARTS SOC220 Prof. Edith Linn 7 March 2009 The BTK Killer – Dennis Rader Brief Biography Dennis Rader, who was William and Dorothea Rader’s firstborn son, came into this world on March 9, 1945. After his birth in Pittsburg, Kansas, the family moved shortly thereafter to Wichita, Kansas. As a child, Dennis seemed to be a normal kid with no special interests that could be perceived, by his surrounding society and family, as abnormal or perverted. Little they all knew about what was going on in his fantasies and in his privacy. The young boy Rader was an average student at his elementary school and through his school years he stayed mediocre with weak grades. Dennis has been described by people who knew him back then, as a well-mannered lone wolf who wasn’t really interested in staying socially active. In 1966, Dennis joined the U.S air force and served them for four years. He married Paula Dietz in 1971, shortly after his homecoming, and the two of them eventually had two children, Brian and Kerri.

It was just an avalanche of new ideas, which is why the 70s were such a watershed” (Biskind 15). A small low budget biker movie made in 1969 sparked the new era of movies, known as Easy Rider.

...The Quaid Twin Medical Error November, 1999 brought about a release of a report prepared by the prestigious National Academy of Science’s Institute of Medicine (IOM) making medical mistakes and their magnitude of the risks to patients receiving hospital care to common public knowledge. The IOM concluded that between 44,000-98,000 deaths occur annually because of medical errors. Among a general agreement was that system deficiencies were the most important factor in the problem and not incompetent or negligent physicians and other caregivers (Sultz & Young, 2010). An excellent example of a system deficiency that leads to a crisis and sentinel event was the highly publicized overdose of Heparin to Dennis Quaid’s newborn twins in 2007. The newborn twins of actor Dennis Quaid were among three patients accidentally given an adult dosage of Heparin, a blood thinner, from a vial containing 10,000 units per milliliter instead of the prescribed 10 units per milliliter. The patients were receiving intravenous inception of the heparin to flush the catheters and to prevent clotting. Cedars-Sinai’s CMO could basically do nothing more than offer his sincerest apologies; yet, ultimately a huge settlement was made for this sentinel event. As noted by experts, “Heparin is a good drug, but you have to pay very careful attention because of the varying concentrations” (Fox News, 2007). Now Quaid has become the self-described "front man" for a campaign to improve patient care with the implementation...
