...many crime costing literature that employ different approaches to approximate the losses due to crimes committed and the cost of crime prevention. Statistics from the U.S. department of Justice show that billions of dollars are used in crime prevention and related legal activities in addition to the billions of dollars that are incurred in economic losses. Studies have shown the cost of crime in developing countries to be approximately ten percent (10%) of their GDP, a figure which agrees with findings that the US spends $1 to $2 trillion annually on crime prevention. McCollister and colleagues categorizes the cost of crime to the society into four groups: victim cost, costs incurred in the criminal justice system, crime career costs and intangible costs. Victim costs are the losses that the victim faces such as loss or damage of property, hospital bills and loss of money. The criminal justice system costs include the money the government spends on crime prevention such as police protection and correctional programs while crime career cost is the opportunity cost that results from the choice to engage in crime rather than sticking to the straight and narrow. Intangible costs, unlike the other three crime cost categories, don’t have a particular cost. They include physical pain and suffering, psychological trauma due to a crime or the loss of life of a loved one and their estimation is usually left to jury awards. They are usually dollar amounts required to make the victim...

... Jan 24, 2013 A retail loss prevention investigator is responsible for ensuring that a company’s shrink is kept under control. Now, there are many different causes of shrink and therefore the job is multi-faceted. The first, and most recognizable, form of shrink is from external theft, or shoplifting. The loss prevention investigator is trained in surveillance techniques and how to spot odd or suspicious behavior in a customer. Once this type of behavior is identified they will follow the individual either on foot or by using the store’s cctv system to gather evidence of a crime. The second form of shrink, and most dangerous to a company’s bottom line, is internal theft. This is when an employee begins stealing money or merchandise from their employer. In a similar way to shoplifters the loss prevention investigator will observe and look for the warning signs. Once found he will then initiate an employee theft investigation. This is a means of gathering evidence of the associate’s criminal activity. Once enough evidence is acquired they will then interview the individual and pass on their recommendation to upper management. Many companies also lose money because their employees are not following policies and procedures. This reckless behavior can lead to worker’s compensation claims, lawsuits, lost or stolen merchandise, vendor fraud and, in the most extreme...

... The Blue Coat DLP Solution: Complete. Quickly Deployed. Easy to Manage. The loss of sensitive information – by accident or by design – is a persistent concern for IT managers today. Detecting and eliminating potential data leaks is critical, and Blue Coat Data Loss Prevention (DLP) gives you a running start. A typical installation takes less than a day. You can immediately automate compliance and mitigate risks from internal breaches across any electronic communication channel – from email to the Web. Even SSL traffic is inspected and controlled at the gateway. The Content Security Challenge When confidential information is leaked, the effect can be devastating: loss of revenue, financial penalties, and irreparable damage to your organization’s image, brand and customer loyalty. Government regulations and guidelines require businesses to rigorously monitor confidential information and report leaks. The resulting news reports frequently reveal unauthorized use of sensitive data, substantial corporate losses, and a direct effect on consumers. The clear challenge is to protect customer data and safeguard intellectual property against internal mishandling – malicious or accidental. There are many data loss prevention solutions, but they tend to share negative characteristics: Pieces from multiple vendors complicate acquisition. A full DLP solution may take months to implement. Conflicting policies and rules can make operation challenging. Solutions tend to scale poorly, with...

...non-smokers however, if a person stops smoking by the age of forty he or she reduces the risks of dying from smoking related diseases about 90 percent according to the center of disease control and prevention (Smoking and Tobacco use, 2013). Problem formulation In a company manpower drives how the work gets done with a staff divided by smokers and nonsmokers. Smoking is an addiction that can be a very expensive to the employee and the employer. The issues that are affiliated with being a smoker is smokers have to be covered by non-smoking employees when taking a break or not showing up to work due to illnesses. Smokers can cause the employer to pay for the benefits for the employee to be treated for the workers illnesses due to smoking. According to the government smokers cost a company a significant amount of money in productivity as oppose to a non-smoker (Bunn, 2006). In 2007 studies show a loss of productivity due to deaths from smoking averaged 92 billion dollars due to the company (Spinney, 2007). Study purpose The purpose for our study is to show others how smoking effects production in a company filled with smokers and non-smokers. Employees are aware of health issues smoking can cause to them. The smokers have the right to smoke but, have to maintain company’s policies for allotted break time. Our team is looking for ways to improve productivity in the company saving them time...

A stroke is caused by the disruption of the blood supply to the brain, usually related to a blood vessel ruptures or blocked by a clot, as define by World Health Organization. The blockage of oxygen and nutrients to the brain’s tissues can cause permanent damage to the brain tissue. Warning signs of stroke are, sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm or leg, most often on one side of the body. Other symptoms include: confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding speech; difficulty seeing with one or both eyes; walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination; severe headache with no known cause; fainting or unconsciousness. The effects of a stroke depend on which part of the brain is injured and how severely it is affected. A very severe stroke can cause sudden death (WHO 2012). Scientists outline health promotion as the course of action taken to enable individuals to have control over...

...from security threats. As more and more companies make their products available online, and consumers continue to find online shopping more convenient, threats to website security continue to rise. These threats can come in the form of identity theft and lead to consumers’ finances being stolen and used by the offenders. This also creates a financial burden to companies, as they could be liable for the financial damages to consumers, along with losing some of the trust that their consumers may have for them. Implications of a Security Breach Security breaches can be very damaging to an organization. Financially, it can be a nightmare, but a breach also means that the company will have to overhaul its website security practices and policies. For example, in August 2007, Monster Worldwide Inc., a company that runs Internet job boards Monster.com and USAJobs.gov, fell victim to a security breach that was very costly.(Hobson, 2014). According to NBC News, approximately 1.3 million people’s information was stolen. Normally, resumes do not contain any data that could be immediately damaging, such as Social Security Numbers, credit card numbers, and bank account numbers, but contact information can be used in phishing scams to gain more sensitive information. This security breach cost Monster $80 million in upgrades to improve the security of its site.(Bergstein, 2014). Target security breach. Target, one of the largest retailers in the United States, announced on December...
