...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...

...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 private sector job market follows strict hiring standards. Each individual recognizes himself as a personal brand or a marketing product. A personal brand centers on identifying an individual’s value, and how he or she benefits a potential employer (Aspire.com, 2014). Perspective employers use technical hiring methods and pre-employment studies aimed at locating potential employees with a positive image. The corporate goal includes locating and investing in an influential business leader (Marrs, 2012). The 360˚Reach-Personal Brand Assessment identifies brand attributes, personal brand skills, strengths and weaknesses with projective exercises for recognizing each member’s team role. This exercise highlights detailed information about the effectiveness for each group member and what valuable skills he or she provides for the team (Reach Communication Consulting, Inc., 2009). Brand Attributes Attributes identify personal values for each group member and how his or her strengths influence the team (Reach Communication Consulting, Inc., 2009).

...identity was revealed and DNA testing also revealed that this criminal committed multiple rapes and murders. The crimes itself consist of several women being raped along the bike path in Delaware Park. The crimes took place around December of 1983 and July of 1984. The attacker had it all planned out as he would wait for the right moment then move in for the attack. The attacker apparently surprised his victims from behind by threatening them with a gun. Once the victim was at his mercy he went on to rape them and when finished he gave them instructions to remain on the ground for up to 20 minutes before they move (innocenceproject.org). This was done so that the attacker could get a good head start to his own get away. During the identification process at least three of the victims told police that their attacker weighed about 150-160 pounds (innocenceproject.org). The fact is Capozzi weighed around 220 at the time of the attacks and had a visible scar above his left eye. The victims never mentioned anything about it during...

...collected, there are numerous individuals who will have access to it before the case goes to trial. The investigator, evidence technician, property officer, laboratory technician, prosecutor and defense attorney all may have custody. Each individual in this chain has a responsibility for the safe-keeping and preservation of the evidence while it is in their possession. Initial Collection * Before any evidence is removed from the crime scene, there should be an evidence custodian designated as the person in charge of initiating and maintaining all evidence. This person needs to document the crime scene location, as well as his time of arrival. There should also be a crime scene log established, witness list and documentation of identification, arrival and departure times of all law enforcement crime scene personnel. Record Keeping * The investigator who handles the evidence initially should affix her name, badge number and assignment to the package containing the evidence. When the evidence leaves the officer's possession, a record should be made in her case notes identifying to whom the evidence was given, the date and time, and the reason it was turned over. A signed receipt should be obtained from the person accepting the evidence and another signed receipt should be obtained when the item is returned.
