...Controlling Organized Crime Paper LaShanda McMahon 1/26/15 CJA/384 Professor Faggione Controlling Organized Crime Paper Crime is a part of every type of society.

Crime is based on the perception and the actions of individuals. Some see their actions as good and some see them as bad. The problem with this is that sometimes the perception of those committing negative acts that society views as crimes do not see their actions as criminal. Crime is based on the actions of the individuals and depending upon the moral statutes that the society has brought upon them the society deems what is criminal by what they perceive and have implemented as illegal.

Give your opinion fas to why hackers do not consider themselves to be criminals. Include one (1) example of such types of hackers to support your response. Hackers look at their abilities as a culture; they share in the same beliefs and the same need to constantly learn and discover in the cyber world. Most Hackers don’t engage in illegal action; it is more about the skills and motivation that drives them. The normal Hackers ethic is not profiting from their hack and not purposely harming the computer system. A Hacker is usually simply a person that shows a profound interest in a computer, how it works, and the technology used to access parts of the system itself. They feel that in most cases their knowledge is actually useful and most are authorized to hack into the systems. Some Hackers believe that hacking is a learning experience; including creative problem solving and educating others about the vulnerabilities with computer security. I feel that Hackers that are trying to protect other people are the Hackers that don’t find themselves criminals; however it is hard to determine in certain cases and situations what is legal and illegal hacking.

...Amendment Essay Jake Russell AJS/503 Intro to Graduate Study in Criminal Justice April 11 2015 Many law enforcement officers have been accused of illegal searches and seizing property for evidence illegally with no probable cause. That is unconstitutional according to the fourth amendment.

That means an officer can't just infiltrate your home because he thinks some drugs are inside. Him/Her will need sufficient reason based on facts known to believe a crime has been committed or that certain property is connected with some illegal activity. In an New York Times article Newark, New Jersey has had several instances of unlawful practices and illegal stops and searches by police officers. To deal with these problems a proposal to have officers wear cameras and also make some changes to individual department policies on search and seizures has been made. The justice department revealed a document stating that seventyfive percent of people stopped was without probable cause, and the majority people stopped by the police were minorities. Even the property seized unjustified such as drugs and firearms was gone unreported. The fourth amendment was created just for this issue. Some officers take too much authori...

One of these topics is surveillance, specifically government and law enforcement surveillance. In the world today, surveillance solves crimes and keeps an eye on things in important buildings and even on some streets, making it a good thing, but too much surveillance, especially when no laws restrict it in any way, harms society in an irreversible way. The telescreens in 1984 are mega versions of security cameras, the undercover Thought Police compare to undercover police officers in their patience and tactics, and the hidden cameras and microphones equate to things such as wiretapping and using a cell phone as a listening device. These techniques, used on wide scales in both societies, differ greatly in how they are executed.
