...identifying system components and their criticality in the environment. Production equipment would have a higher criticality in the event of an outage or virus outbreak versus a test machine which is generally open and does not contain safeguarded information. This process is important and pieces of equipment should be labeled for criticality. Servers need protection in the company, as well as other data center resources such as routers/switches. If a malicious user or rogue user were to interrupt business functionality by gaining access, this is a great risk to business continuity. Threat identification is the next step in a risk assessment. It is important to do port scans, virus scans, and observe permissions in an environment. This helps identify any possible threats in the environment and classify them. It’s important to maintain physical security and logical security in an environment. Identifying risks entails if doors are locked to certain areas, who has access to certain files and servers, as well as port scanning. Port scanning is important for identification of open and closed ports, secure and unsecure ports, and what could be a potential...

...Criminal Identification Procedures in the Twenty-first Century Criminal Procedure CJA/350 Abstract In modern society we are faced with the difficulty of ensuring that we are not locking up innocent people. We as a society want to fight crime at any means necessary but at what cost are we willing to pay for this so called justice? In this paper I will discuss the ways that we use criminal identification. Some of these methods are very simple as well as those, which are quite complex. These are eyewitness identification, DNA fingerprinting, latent prints found on bodies, brain fingerprinting, and thru vision. Identification of a person means knowing positively who a given person is and it may be necessary to identify living as well as dead individuals in a variety of situations. In our day-to-day life, we do not face many problems with identification, and it might seem surprising at first glance that such a mundane thing as identification ever needed the help of science. We may meet a long forgotten friend, and may not be able to identify him in the beginning, but recollection of some events would help us recall who the person is. In fact, in daily life, many take the identity of a person for granted. (Forensic Identification) Criminal identification procedures in the 21st century is an ever-changing and remarkable endeavor that has become something that law enforcement has been leaning towards for some time now. The criminal identification process is a long, but...

...Two incongruous versions of Mr. Simpson's persona will be given to the 12-member jury, and Mr. Simpson's fate will ultimately depend on which one it decides is closest to the truth. One is the street-smart San Francisco ghetto kid who overcame tremendous odds to become a beloved star of football and Hollywood, and who is now wrongly accused of a hideous crime. The other is a hot-tempered, hard-drinking, foul-mouthed bully who for years humiliated and terrorized the mother of his children, the woman he professed to love and cherish. Prosecutors are expected to depict Mr. Simpson as maniacally jealous of his former wife to the point of stalking and physically abusing her in fits of rage. They will try to persuade jurors that the slayings of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald L. Goldman were almost the logical culmination of increasingly violent and obsessive behavior. The defense strategy, by contrast, is expected to lean heavily on the absence of a murder weapon with Mr. Simpson's fingerprints on it and, even more tellingly, on the lack of an eyewitness who can link him to the crime scene. The defense will raise questions about the victims' characters, suggesting that the killings may have been drug-related. Prosecutors will have to explain how one man was able to overpower two younger, well-conditioned and physically agile adults without either of them apparently screaming for help. Defense lawyers will argue that it took at least two people to commit the...

...Innocence at Stake: Possibility of DNA Collection from Arrestees in Canada Md Washim Ahmed ABSTRACT Followed by a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, which approved the collection of a defendant’s DNA upon arrests under the Fourth Amendment, the Minister of Justice, Peter MacKay indicated in an interview with the Globe and Mail that he and his Ministry are considering a similar model for Canada. This paper examines the possibility of a similar legislative framework in Canada and argues that although collection of DNA upon arrests was found justified under the Fourth Amendment, it does not necessarily mean that it will be found justified under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. While s.8 of the Charter seems to give similar protection as the Fourth Amendment, they have very different requirements for judicial authorization, reasonableness and standard of “probable cause”. Scrutinizing those different requirements and standards, this paper holds that the process of DNA collection is highly intrusive and would be a serious violation of s.8 of the Charter as it could reveal an excessive amount of private information about an individual over which he/she has a strong reasonable expectation of privacy. Furthermore, it will deprive people from their right to be presumed innocent, which is protected under s.11 (d) and significantly impact socially marginalized groups. Finally, this paper conducts an analysis of the violations under s.1 of...

...The Hampshire Company has provided the needed information to compute Traditional Costing and Activity Based Costing (ABC). Based on the information provided, The Hampshire Company should use Activity Based Costing. Activity Based Costing improves a costing system by identifying individual activities as fundamental cost objects. “The development of an ABC costing methodology could typically be analyzed with focus on the following phases: 1. The determination of the significant operational activities. 2. The identification and collection of costs specific to each of these activities. 3. The identification of the cost drivers for each of these activities. 4. The determination of the activity unit costs. 5. The allocation of the costs to the cost objects based on the activity consumption (Buys, Pieter, Green, Kevin)”. It should be understood that an ABC system is not intended to replace the general ledger, but to be viewed as a tool to translate the general ledger. The Activity Based Costing system will identify activities (things the company does) of the value chain, calculate the individual costs of activities, and assign costs to cost objects. The activity-based technique will reach its full potential when it has expanded from Activity Based Costing to Activity Based Management. When looking to adopt the Activity Based Costing system, The Hampshire Company will need identify the activities the company performs. Identifying activities can be difficult and they will...
