...Home Security Vulnerabilities Principles & Theory of Security Management Professor James Leiman DeVry University On-Line Antoinette Bowen 19 January 2014 Home Security Vulnerability With criminals being smart enough wait and watch even pay real close attention to their victims daily habits; “at every 15 seconds, a home in the United States is broken into, said Angela Mickalide, director of education and outreach for the National Home Safety Council.” (Herbet, 2014) It would seem that it’s hopeless for people to stay safe.

For those who maybe considering the option to purchase a security system but really don’t have the funds for the monthly services should realize that there are several other methods of prevention. When observing our own environment it will appear to be safe, but how safe are we? Since people consider a very familiar area their comfort zone is when we tend to overlook the possibilities of being watched-to become a delinquent’s next victim. Let us look into our own backyards to assess the safety of our own homes.

...Charlie Hill GE253_V6.0:Physics>Week 1>Assignment>Assignment The scientific method is a process to systematically investigate observations, solve problems and test hypotheses. 1. The first step to scientific method is to state the problem. It is important to clearly state what your problem is to avoid any confusion later in the scientific method. 2. The second step to scientific method is making observations about the problem. The scientific method consists of a series of steps used by scientists to conduct experiments. The word observation has two meanings in scientific method, first there the scientists observation of the world as it leads to the hypothetical theory (a theory that lacks merit) This is the first step of scientific method and can be presented in two ways either as a natural observation or a staged one, Second in the collection of data in a experiment using the scientific method there are two observations ,Qualitive and Quantive.

As in the first mini-conference, these were created by "imaginary" students for you to practice critiquing, and they have deliberate errors in them (therefore, you need to actively look for them, just as peer reviews in the real science world do). You will submit your critiques to me in the assignments area. After you've had the practice doing this and getting my feedback, for the third mini-conference, you and your classmates will be critiquing each others' Phase V lab work that you'll post in the forum. Then, for the final symposium poster project, you will also critique one another's work. Answer the following questions about the labs you read. Please keep your comments to constructive criticism (in other words, offer feedback, but be polite). For each question, answer "Yes," "No," or "Maybe," and provide detail. Detail doesn't just mean a full sentence like "Yes, enough evidence has been collected". Your answers must make it clear that you have read and thought about the reports. These answers do not need to be long, but remember that you're learning to provide feedback that will help your classmates to improve their work in future labs, so be as detailed as you can. Upload this assignment to the Assignments area of the classroom. 1) Is the step-by-step procedure sufficient to yield the necessary evidence needed to fully answer the listed research question?
