...It happened at the Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill, Illinois. Other people and the people in his state were saying that he deserves more than just a death punishment right away, they want him to suffer more because of all the bodies he killed. After Gacy’s trial and execution, his brain was removed and it was examined by Dr. Helen Morrison. She was the doctor that interviewed Gacy and she also interviewed some other serial killers to try and find the common personality traits of all these violent killers. After all the examination that Dr. Morrison did of Gacy’s brain, they were surprised that it showed no...

...Crime Causation Sharon Semien BUS303 August 9, 2011 Katina Douglas Crime Causation In 1980, an Illinois jury convicted John Wayne Gacy for killing 33 young boys and men. Sarcastically, after his conviction, the infamous killer (also known as “The Killer Clown”) said “I should have never been convicted of anything more serious than running a cemetery without a license” (Star Quotes, 2009, p. 1). Obviously, something intrusively wrong resonated in Gacy for him to make such a statement that negated the intensity of his actions. Gacy buried majority of his victims under the crawl space of his home and discarded other victims in the Des Plaines River (Bell & Bardsley, 2011). People often question what would make someone do such vicious and torturous acts on another person. Criminologists developed theories explaining the reasons people deviate from societal norms and commit immoral acts laws prohibit (Schmallenger, 2003). Particularly, in this case, John Wayne Gacy is a person suitable to study. Certainly, a few crime causation theories explain how his upbringing, life experiences, and other deep, underlying issues led him to committing crimes to the extent he did. Gacy’s Background Information Gacy was the only son of three children born to Marion and John Gacy. He had an older sister (Joanne) and younger sister (Karen). The Gacy’s were a middle-classed, Catholic family who lived on the north side of Chicago. As a young boy in middle school, Gacy kept...

...Disaster Recovery Plans The headquarters of Hill Crest Corporation, a private company with $15.5 million in annual sales, is located in California. Hill Crest provides for its 150 clients an online legal software service that includes data storage and administrative activities for law offices. The company has grown rapidly since its inception 3 years ago, and its data processing department has expanded to accommodate this growth. Because Hill Crest’s president and sales personnel spend a great deal of time out of the office soliciting new clients, the planning of the IT facilities has been left to the data processing professionals. Hill Crest recently moved its headquarters into a remodeled warehouse on the outskirts of the city. While remodeling the warehouse, the architects retained much of the original structure, including the wooden-shingled exterior and exposed wooden beams throughout the interior. The minicomputer distributive processing hardware is situated in a large open area with high ceilings and skylights. The openness makes the data processing area accessible to the rest of the staff and encourages a team approach to problem solving. Before occupying the new facility, city inspectors declared the building safe; that is, it had adequate fire extinguishers, sufficient exits, and so on. In an effort to provide further protection for its large database of client information, Hill Crest instituted a tape backup procedure that automatically backs up the database...

...CASE 3: PHYSICAL SECURITY p.64 Required: 1. Why are the auditors of Avatar stressing the need to have a better physical environment for the server? If Avatar has proper software controls in place, would that not be enough to secure the information? Ans. Auditors of Avatar are stressing the need to have a better physical environment for the server to secure and protect the infrastructure itself (hardware, sorftware and networking devices) as well as the information they hold from possible threats. The company may not only lose the investment they put for the servers and data but it can also impair their ability to function as a business. Evidently, software controls that are currently in place are not enough to secure the information. Additional control features must be considered to guarantee the security of the server and help them mitigate risks. 2. Name the six essential control features that contribute directly to the security of the computer server Ans. a. The physical location of the computer center directly affects the risk of destruction to a natural or man-made disaster. b. Computer center should be located in a single-story building of solid construction with controlled access c. Access to the computer center should be limited to the operators and other employees who work there. d. Computers function best in an air-conditioned environment, and providing adequate air conditioning is often a requirement of the vendor’s warranty e. The implementation...

... Chapter 2 4. Disaster Recovery Plans a. The computer security weaknesses present at Hill Crest Corporation that made it possible for a disastrous data lost to occur include: * Not housing the data-processing facility in a building constructed of fire-retardant materials, and instead using one with exposed wooden beams and a wooden-shingled exterior. * The absence of a sprinkler (halon) system and a fire-suppression system under a raised floor; fire doors. * An on-line system with infrequent (weekly) tape backups. Backups, with checkpoints and restarts, should be performed at least daily. “Grandfather” and “Father” backup files should be retained at a secure off-site storage location. * Data and programs should have been kept in a library separate from the data-processing room, with the library area constructed of fire-retardant materials. * Lack of a written disaster recovery plan with arrangements in place to use an alternate off-site computer center in the event of a disaster or an extended service interruption. There was a phone list of DP personnel, but without assigned responsibilities as to actions to be taken when needed. * Lack of complete systems documentation kept outside the data-processing area. b. The components that should have been included in the disaster recovery plan at Hill Crest Corporation to ensure computer recovery within 72 hours include the following: * A written disaster recovery plan should...

That is, the profit margin for a company like Wal-Mart may not be high, but so long as most of its products have strong sales, it is in no danger of bankruptcy. On the other hand, a company may only offer a few products; this is high risk because there may be low demand for the products, but specializing in a niche market can result in exceptionally...

...1.1 The Roots of Indian Wine Persian conquerors brought grape vines to India nearly 2500 years ago; wine consumption is first mentioned in a text on statecraft written about 300 b.c. Wine was a beverage for elites, not the masses (who apparently wanted stronger stuff), and lived a shadowy existence that continues today due to concerns about alcohol consumption. The influence of British colonizers contributed to the growth of Indian wine production in the 19th century, before the scourge of phylloxera hit India’s vineyards in the 1890s with predictable results. Table grapes are a major crop in India and wine grapes are grown in several regions, generally at altitudes of 200m – 800m, although vineyards at 1000m exist in Kashmir. Growing conditions are surprisingly good using viticulture practices that take humidity and rainfall patterns into account (harvest must be complete before the monsoon). Two crops per year are common. Since independence in 1947, wine has been caught in a crossfire in India. On one hand, it is a heavily controlled substance. Article 47 of the constitution makes it a function of the state to discourage alcohol consumption (Gandhi and some other early leaders were teetotallers), so wine imports are highly taxed and advertising is forbidden. Individual state governments within India tax and regulate wine sales much as in the United States, creating a distributional crazy quilt. At the same time, however, some state governments promote viticulture and...

...the hopes of better attracting Chinese buyers. Frito Lay recognized early on that Chinese taste buds were quite different from American taste buds. Popular flavors in the United States did not appeal to Chinese consumers prompting Frito Lay and other U.S. companies to research Chinese preferences and develop products specifically for the local market. Accordingly, Tropicana sells cantaloupe juice, Chips Ahoy cookies are orange flavored, and Wrigley’s sells Chinese herbal medicine gum. Even toothpaste companies are selling products designed to tempt Chinese consumers. Crest sells a lotus flower flavored product, while Colgate offers salt flavored toothpaste. U.S. companies focused on the Chinese culture as a starting point for developing new product flavors. Product researchers inspired by traditional Chinese cooking came up new flavors like Szechuan spicy, sweet and sour tomato, and mango. Pepsi Co’s Harry Hill points out that because the market is so competitive, new products are being launched on a regular basis. The same trend is changing the strategies of fast food companies in China. McDonald’s has introduced purple taro pie, Starbucks sells drinks with jelly cubes on the bottom, and...
