...Sexual predators are people who have committed sex crime. In the United States, there are more than 400,000 registered sexual predators. There are many ways in which sexual offenders could be punished for their actions. For one, Law makers should pass on a law stating that sex offenders have to notify others by writing it on their social media accounts, that they have committed a sex crime. Secondly, sexual predators should be chemically casturated to help prevent urges. Lastly, if you are aware of a sexual predator in your community you should not be afraid to inform others because they might not be aware. Their statements should indicate the crime committed, if this is their first offense, if not how many, and the court’s decision upon the crime. Offenders must also state their physical characteristics and residential address. Indicating their...

...or anything can go through process over and over again and become stronger. i also believe that if something tragic keeps happining to something or someone they would eventually change and adapt. What happened to the guppies is when we increased the predator; there were less colorful guppies, and more dull ones. The reason i mentioned the increased in pradator rate is because the predator has a lot to do with how the guppies adapt and evolve over time. Sexual selection is the process by which certain organisms produce more offspring by mating more frequently than other organisms of the same sex and thereby ensure the survival of more of their genetic traits. Sexual selection is a form of natural selection in which organisms are competing not for food or other resources in the environment but for mates. The development of size difference between males and females in mammals and birds, in which the greater strength (and often aggressiveness) of larger males allows them to have greater success mating, is seen as a consequence of sexual selection. The development of secondary sex characteristics, such as colored feathers in male birds or large antlers in male deer, which are attractive to the opposite sex as signs of fitness but are not directly involved in reproduction is also attributed to sexual selection. These features are often...

...decided to be castrated in a Texas and it’s the only state in the United States to allow the surgery to be done. Mr. Jones had tried the reduction of testosterone but that did not work out for him. I believe that castration should not be ruled as sentencing for sex offenders because for female offenders the sentencing of castration would not work. Another is most sex offenders are still sexually violent predators. Also not many states would like the idea of castration being a sentencing. Female offenders would not be affected as much as male offenders with castration and state/federal law should not discriminate sex. The law should be affecting both sexes so that both sexes would receive the same punishment. Incarceration is, in my belief, the best punishment for sex offenders right now. Incarceration is both fair to female offenders and male offenders. In the case of David Wayne Jones, Mr. Jones was ruled to still be a sexually violent predator. Therefore, this sentencing would not be as effective as incarceration. Mr. Jones voluntarily castrated himself but the question of “Did he do it for a lesser sentence?” pops into the picture. In my belief, it should not be consider as a result of a “plea barging” because many sex offenders would take that easy way out. Not many states would agree that castration should become a punishment or sentencing. Like the death penalty, not many states have that punishment while others do have it. A lot of people would have opinions about castration...

...History of Digital Crimes and Digital Terrorism and Their Common Current Forms Stephanie Fisk Strayer Universality CIS 170 Professor CIANCIOTTA Dec. 12th, 2013 Introduction Computer crime refers to any crime that involves a computer and a network. The computer may have been used in the commission of a crime, or it may be the target. Net crime refers to criminal exploitation of the internet. Dr. Debarati Halder and Dr. K. Jaishankar (2011) defines cybercrimes as: "Offences that are committed against individuals or groups of individuals with a criminal motive to intentionally harm the reputation of the victim or cause physical or mental harm to the victim directly or indirectly, using modern telecommunication networks such as internet chat rooms, emails, notice boards, groups, and mobile phone. Such crimes may threaten a nation’s security and financial health. Problems surrounding these types of crimes have become high profile, particularly those surrounding cracking, copyright infringement, child pornography, and child grooming. There are also problems of privacy when confidential information is lost or intercepted, lawfully or otherwise. Internationally, both governmental and non-state actors engage in cybercrimes, including espionage, financial theft, and other cross-border crimes. Activity crossing international borders and involving the interests of at least one nation state is sometimes referred to as cyber warfare. The international legal system is attempting...

...T. Robinson Challenges Fighting Cybercrime CIS 170 Strayer University Dr. Wesley Phillips Putting together hundreds of individual computer networks has created a virtual space on which much of the world's business and communication now depends. Email, peer-to-peer data sharing, and wireless networks are examples of the technology that enables almost unlimited access to information. This access comes with significant risk. Criminals, terrorists, and foreign industrial competitors share this access to information as well. In the industrial age, we protected ourselves with high walls and deadly weapons. However, in the digital age, the availability and rapid development of cyber weapons requires layers of defenses and improved awareness of adversarial capabilities and intentions. There are a number of challenges that law enforcement has to deal with cyber-crime, one of the greatest challenge facing law enforcement agencies in investigating exploitation, cyber stalking, and obscenity is the power of anonymity. Anonymity gives the Perpetrator a sure advantage in that, without the target knowing, he could either around the corner, in another state, or even next door. The cyber stalker could be a former friend or lover, a total stranger met in a chat room, or someone playing a joke on an unsuspecting victim. (Pettinari, 2002). The anonymous use of public access points, for example Internet cafés, is a very serious issue, considering that a crime committed using those infrastructures...

...Loss of Top Predators is Humankind’s Most Pervasive Influence on Nature Thesis: For thousands of years, nature and humans have coexisted in equilibrium. As human population increases and expands, it cases severe effects in every ecosystem. Evidence of human growth and urbanization can be seen through the impacts on virtually every ecosystem in planet earth, marine and terrestrial. Effects of, such as species decline, endangerment and extinction of enormous proportions. In most cases, driving some species to the edge of extinction. Possibly no species are more affected than the world’s large top predators. These animals are extremely important to the overall health and function of an ecosystem, but conservation and restoration of them and their habitat is a remote thought on humans. The absence of predators in certain areas has led to an explosion of their natural prey, which leads to a damaging impact on their habitat. Ecosystems need to be healthy in order to maintain the health of all living things within and around them, including humans. It seems logical then to restore the natural balance by reintroducing the animal’s natural predator, conserving the population, and protecting the wild environment. Humans can no longer wait to address this growing environmental and ethical issue, and by establishing clear goals they can ensure the future of these species and ecosystems along with the continuing growth and success of their own.

You can be very happy with your and share awesome moments together. How smart is your Dog? How smart would you rate your dog to other animals? The famous saying…… “man’s best friend", compliments a dog for obeying commands, carrying out tasks, go out for a walk, protecting and guarding the house etc…. GUESS WHAT?!!! Dogs are not in the top 10 list of smartest/intelligent animals, as the "CHIMPANZEE" stands as 1st position and“RAT” stands at 10th position. So why do these top 10 animals don’t stand the chance to live with man as best companion or as a tool to enhance living standards? There are other smart animals apart from the top 10 listed animals but the outstanding quality that makes the dog stand out is the inborn loyalty in a dog trait. DOGS ARE LOYAL TO THE DEATH! Other animals lack loyalty and therefore knowledge cannot be impacted easily in them since they live free and do not see you as...

...PART III GRAPH THEORY 224 13 Food Webs Author: College. Robert A. McGuigan, Department of Mathematics, Westfield State Prerequisites: The prerequisites for this chapter are basic concepts of graph theory. See Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications. Introduction A food web is a directed graph modeling the predator-prey relationship in an ecological community. We will use this directed graph to study the question of the minimum number of parameters needed to describe ecological competition. For this purpose we will consider how graphs can be represented as intersection graphs of families of sets. We will also investigate the axiomatic description of measures of status in food webs. Competition In an ecological system, the various species of plants and animals occupy niches defined by the availability of resources. The resources might be defined in terms of factors such as temperature, moisture, degree of acidity, amounts of nutrients, 225 226 Applications of Discrete Mathematics and so on. These factors are subject to constraints such as temperature lying in a certain range, pH lying within certain limits, etc. The combination of all these constraints for a species then defines a region in n-dimensional Euclidean space, where n is the number of factors. We can call this region the ecological niche of the species in question. For example, suppose we restrict ourselves to three factors, such as temperature...

...Part 1: The Producers Go to http://www.learner.org/courses/envsci/interactives/ecology/food_web.php Challenge Try to get two plants to happily co–exist. In any given ecosystem, most organisms will carve out a niche for themselves where they can obtain all of the necessities to survive. Often, different species within the ecosystem will compete for the resources that a niche provides. However, certain species live well together—symbiotically, parasitically, or by staying out of each other's way. For example, lichen and moss, often the primary colonizers of a new ecosystem, tend to live fairly harmoniously in each other's vicinity. Let's see what happens in this model. Step 1 Imagine the ecosystem is newly forming—the previous ecosystem has been destroyed by fire or flood—and the first colonizers of the successive ecosystem are, of course, producers. Given the two fictitious species of plants in the simulator, predict what will happen in this young system and record your prediction in the Data Table. Then run the simulator to 100 time steps and record the population numbers for both plants. Answer the following: 1. What assumptions does this model make about co-dominance as well as the general terrain of the ecosystem? 2. Do you find one producer to be dominant? Why might one producer be dominant over another? Step 2 Now you'll introduce an herbivore into the environment. In theory, an herbivore native to the ecosystem should feed primarily on the dominant species...

...of sexuality on adolescents’ sexual lives?What are some negative and some positive effects of the media’s portrayal of sexuality? o How has the media’s portrayal of sexuality affected your life? The effects of the media’s portrayal on sexuality on adolescent’s lives are vast. Most media in today’s society portrays acts of sexuality as commonplace and expected. It shows young girls being flirtatious and having sex. It shows young men as sexual predators or pressuring the girls. It is far and few between that a show displays age appropriate sexuality for it’s viewers. The media also represent’s young gays and lesbians more readily than it would have years ago. I think this is a good idea since that demographic of viewer base has increased greatly. This increased awareness for young people has both positive and negative impacts. The increased awareness of the effects of sexuality in early ages such as pregnancy and STD’s are more prevalent than in yester years. However, the increased stimuli of sexuality leads to more exploration of our younger generations to have sex earlier than they should be and producing babies at a younger age as well as they are contracting more STD’s. I think the media’s influence on our future generations needs to be tempered and that is the job of the parent or caregiver. The media’s portrayal of sexuality has not has as great an effect on my life as it could have as I do not watch much TV and tend to read more often than watch a movie. The media has...

...Capstone Most media in today’s society show acts of sexuality that is common and it is expected. Depending on what type of media it is. Some show girls that are flirtatious at a young age and it shows some that may be having sex at a young age as well. A lot of girls in today’s time think that its ok to be that way to try to get older guys attention with the way they dress or how much makeup that they may wear. Media portray some young men that may be pressuring a girl to have sex or it may portray them as sexual predators. The media has also represented gays and lesbians more so than they would years ago. And that is probably because it is accepted more not than it used to be. I think this is a good thing because people who are gay or lesbian don’t have to be ashamed of how they are especially if they are younger. I think some negative effects of the media’s portrayal of sexuality is the message that it’s sending to the younger generation and our future generation. That it’s ok to have sex young, it’s like the media is putting peer pressure on the younger kids along with what they deal with every day in school or at home. It is a greater risk for kids to start having babies early or be at risk of STD’s. They make it seem like sex is everything and being a virgin is like a disease that’s not a good view to have. I can say that the positive side is people meaning gays and lesbian do not have to hide who they are. They may not be accepted everywhere, but they can be comfortable...

...“People tend to use the terms “sex” and “gender” interchangeably. We assign a newborn’s sex as either male or female, based on their genitals. Once a sex is assigned, we presume the child’s gender. Someone born with a penis will be a boy and someone with a vulva will be a girl. For many people, this is cause for little, if any, concern or further thought.” Our society has a set of norms and if you do not follow them it becomes controversial and through most people's eyes “wrong.” Many people and congressmen believe Trans people should follow the appropriate gender role they were born, but I believe anyone can identify as any gender they choose to. Being gay or identifying as another sex is not a choice, it is how a person is born. It is hard enough to go against the current of society, but on top of that there is laws against marriage, which bathroom they can use, and strong health risks with being transgender. Tran’s suicides are at an all-time high, and it is no wonder because of how unaccepting and close-minded our society is. Opposing Arguments...

...Title: Student: Professor: Course Title: Date: Topic: Information Law Cyber crime involves criminal activities conducted using the internet and both the computer together with the individual behind it are victims. The Australian Institute of Criminology (2011) finds cyber crime to include fraud, hacking, money laundering and theft, cyber stalking, cyber bullying, child sexual exploitation, child grooming and identity theft. The crimes mostly go unreported making it hard to quantify (Australian Institute of Criminology, 2011). However, the most common cyber crime incidents remain malware code and virus attacks that corrupt software. The Australian Cyber crime Act which was assented in 2001 and commenced on 2 April 2002 added new offences streamlined to check on those kinds of cyber crime that impair the security, integrity and reliability of computer data and electronic communications. They are; a) Unauthorized access, modification or impairment with intent to commit a serious offence, b) Unauthorized modification of data where the person is reckless as to whether the modification will impair data, c) Unauthorized impairment of electronic communications. There is a maximum penalty for these offences. Investigation powers relating to search and seizure of electronically stored data have been increased (Find Law Australia, 2012). Culprits of cybercrime can ignore the realms of Australian jurisdiction and launch an attack from anywhere in the world or even design attacks that seem...
