...Corrections Trend Evaluation Tomas Gonzalez CJA / 394 February 4, 2014 Alfredo Cooke Corrections Trend Evaluation In this paper I will evaluate the past, present and future trends pertaining to the development and operation of institutional and community based correction. As part of the evaluation I will identify and analyze current and future issues facing prisons and prison administrators today. I will also identify and analyze the role/issue of alternate correction systems as a developing trend. Trends within the criminal justice system continue to influence the development and operations of institutions and community-based corrections. As mandatory sentencing laws can cause an increase in prison population, prison administrators face a daunting task in addressing the issues that overpopulation causes. “Apart from the highest priority of addressing prison population growth, prison managers are often confronted with an array of issues relating to imprisonment practices and their consequences” (Greenfeld, Beck, & Gillard, 1996, p.9). Development and Operations of Institutions The development and operations of institutions appears to operate around two opposing philosophies if punishment versus rehabilitation. The evolution of the development of corrections past, present and future has seen many changes throughout the inception of prisons. In the past the trends for prisons were solitary confinement with little concern for the rehabilitation of inmates. The well-being...

Past Corrections In today’s society the jails and prison pretty much function in the same ways. The history of the State prisons began at the Walnut Street Jail in 1790, it was called the first American penitentiary located in Philadelphia, and the building had been operated as a city jail. Some of the same functions and principles were used in England, also these functions were used in the United States as early as the eighteenth century, in England during that time did very little when it came down to punishment.

...Corrections Trend Evaluation Carla Howard CJA 394 University of Phoenix Corrections have existed throughout society for many years and continued to change and evolve in the United States reflecting society’s values and ideals throughout the centuries. In the criminal justice system, corrections exist in more than one form. Not only do corrections refer to jails and prison systems but they also pertain to community-based programs, such as probation, parole, halfway houses, and treatment facilities. Past, present, and future trends in regard to the development and operation of institutional and community-based corrections vary between states but corrections have grown immensely since the early 1800s and have continued to expand over time. Corrections are adamant to continue to expand into the future because crime is not slowing down so there will remain a strong need for corrections throughout society. The subject of this paper pertains to research of past, present, and future trends in the development and operation of corrections. In some ways corrections are similar to the operation trends of two decades ago. In other ways the development of corrections has come far compared to corrections in the beginning. Other subjects of the paper include current and future issues for prisons and prison administrators and an explanation for why these issues overwhelm corrections. A last topic for discussion is the roles of alternate corrections as a developing trend. ...

...much directional movement - or trend - is in a market. It is often combined with the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) study. The DMI is plotted as two lines. You can determine Bullish or Bearish trend direction by two directional indicator values - +DM and -DM. The calculation determines the relationship of the current close to the previous close. If the current close is higher, a greater value is placed on the +DM and a lower value on the -DM. This means in a strong trend, the lines will move in opposite directions, and in a correction or sideways move they will converge. There is also a calculation connected to a range, Average True Range, or DMIATR, so if a range begins to contract in a trend, the lines may also begin to converge as momentum slows. The formulas for determining DMI and ADX are not complex. You must first determine the Directional Movement - DM - for the current trading interval. After several more mathematical steps, a DM value between zero and 100 is determined. DMI can be used as both an entry and as an exit tool. As an exit tool, the chart shows the DMI and the DMI Difference, or DDIF. Although the DMI study does have a limit of scale, it is very rare for it to get near to those limits especially on the upside. Therefore, the DMI Diff can be used to gauge levels of Overbought and Oversold. When the difference is greater than 30, except in very strong trends, it indicates the potential of a correction or change in trend. Markets normally fall more...

...Trend Article Analysis University of Phoenix – MGT373 Jennifer Choy August 21, 2011 In this day and age there are millions of trends that are present in almost every industry. In order for an organization to be successful it is essential that they follow some of these trends so that their company appeals to people. This proves to be true for the event planning and convention industries. Two articles that pinpoint a couple different trends are “Nifty gadgets taking special events to a new level” and “ The article “Nifty gadgets taking special events to a new level” is a great example of trends within the planning and convention industries. In the years 2001-2004 these industries saw a huge decline in business. The reason for this was the failing economy. Companies and organizations could no longer fit events and gatherings into the budget. In 2005 event planning companies such as Dolce parties finally started to see an incline in corporate parties and events. However, these parties and events were at a much smaller scale. It was only the important people that were being invited to these gatherings because the budgets were still not back to where they were. Since the comeback of events was at a slow pace, event planners and convention industries decided to introduce some new gadgets to attract clientele. According to Stableford ( 2005)“Beyond the typical post-event surveys and evaluation of how many sales leads actually translate into qualified...

...Future Trends Charmaine Saint Surin OI/466 June 6, 2016 Fred Greifenstein Future Trends According to Webster.com dictionary, a trend is usually known as something undergoing change or is developing into something or going into a general or specific direction. Innovation is about timing, but there is not a theory behind it. It includes processes and new ideas and then they are converted into new useful products. It creates value for customers who pay for it. Disruptive Innovation is an all-out risk taker, creating new markets with more practical approaches towards buyer's purchasing power. What we know is that innovation does not have an end, it's the fact that what we want and what we need continues to change. Innovation is not the goal but everything we do to get to that point. I think collaboration within innovation is an revolving trend. This is the concept of an open source. With the internet age, there are so many people connected worldwide, so there is the fact of collaboration. It creates alternatives for companies who which are smaller to have the ability to remain small and agile. If that is the choice, it also allows those less ended businesses to be a part of the larger agenda in innovation. Innovation is a connected function of communities. It seems like we are all trying to come up with new solutions that capture the technologies we encompass and maybe even working with alternatives reworking those technologies. An example of this is universities...

...when this promotion is going to end either. This information is supported by my findings too. The majority of the men I interviewed did say that they could no longer afford to spend large amounts of money on individual garments. Instead they stressed that before £100+ jeans would not have bothered them, however now they would be looking to spend below this figure. [pic] I felt that it was extremely important that I explored any weaknesses the consumers felt were an issue too. The main problem was that men would like to have some coloured denim within the range rather than just the same denim washes they always have. It was obvious that many consumers felt that there was not a wide enough range in terms of styles that reflects current trends; instead the styles are just subtle changes across their product range. When analysing the primary research,...

...a noun, “Fashion is a popular trend or the manner of doing something”. As a verb, it says “make into a particular or required form”. To me, fashion is a never ending cycle of various styles that people can express themselves through. It is a movement that allows individuals to show who they really are through clothes. Throughout the past 65 years, fashion evolved so much in so many different ways. I decided to take a look at those ways and to see how fashion has come about to what it is now and how some trends still remain the same until this day as a classic. The 60’s was the year that the television had a huge impact on what people were exposed to, such as fashion trends. It helped the youth stay in touch with what was...

...restaurants have been opening one after another due to its popularity and success which entrepreneurs saw as an opportunity to open other famous ramen restaurants as it has become a trend. In SM Megamall as I walk inside the new Mega Fashion Hall crowded with people in the late night, I take the elevator to go up on the 3rd floor of the building where the well-known recently opened ramen restaurant called Ippudo Ramen is. The first sight that will appear before your eyes after the elevator doors open will be a crowd of people lining up for Ippudo. The wait is definitely worth it as the food there is extravagant and definitely food that you will come back with. In an interview from Shigemi Kawahara, he said that the reason people line up in Ipuddo might be “Because it’s delicious. We train our staff that every single bowl of ramen has to have a smile and maybe our customers can feel that. It’s very easy to serve a good bowl of ramen. Delicious ramen is everywhere, but what’s important to us is the quality, the service and the cleanliness” (Japan’s World-Famous Ramen House Opens in Manila). I have eaten their food and I would like to say that the food is divine with rich flavors that Filipinos will love and so far has been the best ramen restaurant in the Philippines in my opinion. The food trend started pretty recently in the Philippines as Filipinos are only beginning to appreciate...

Young people travelled from all over to partake in the Woodstock festival, nearly 400,000 young people came to attend the festival (Gibbons, 2010). However, after the music festival ended, people were stuck in that county which turned into a problem. Homelessness and drugs became a major problem, the young people slept on benches, camped out in parking lots, and searched for food and clothing (Gibbons, 2010). This also became a problem for the townspeople. The young people were getting in trouble with the law because of the drugs. One woman, Gail Varsi, recognized the problem and decided to do something. She first, gave police her home number and instructed them to call her whenever a homeless youth got in trouble. She then reached out to...

...implement with regards to trending, they are; Scanning, Listening, and Forecasting. According to this author, the first strategy, scanning, is to identify the different media outlets, cultural developments and various brands to further investigate how other brands are performing in the market. This will provide insight as to the consumers view and trends toward current brands. The second strategy is listening, which focuses more on social media, and which communities are leading the discussions, and why. Social media gets you in touch with your customers, drives business to your websites, and opens the door to engage customer communications and so much more. If you’re not on social media, than you’re missing a huge opportunity to grow your business and get in touch with how your customers feel about various brands. The third strategy is forecasting. Forecasting is all about researching firms that trend for a living, such as Cassandra Daily and PSFK. (White., S. 2012) This can help you identify key movements in the market and possible opportunities to help you grow your business. By understanding what market trends affect your business, you could identify changes that could positively or negatively affect your business, such as online social media factors, brand awareness, and sudden changes in the economy that may directly affect consumer opinion toward spending.
