...Evaluation of Security Programs SEC 420 Case Study 1 01/16/2016 Case Study 1 I just won a bid to construct a high-rise residential apartment building. The complex is to be located in an area of the city which borders a high-crime urban area on one side, and industrial facilities on the other. This will present several challenges that will require strategic planning to overcome or reduce the level of risk or threats. The construction will be built with a design that accommodates the needs of the occupants and owners especially those involving security and territorial space. Considering the industrial facilities surrounding the apartment it is important that the building will suit residents that are associated to the industrial facilities in the area. The building will have a modern designed with an attractive complex structure for people who are looking for an apartment. I will consider the following factors that will incorporate the needs of the occupants and owners, which include; territoriality; natural surveillance; design guidelines; territory and personal defense strategies; and confidence restoration strategies. I begin with territoriality of the construction planning. According to Robert A. Gander “Territoriality involves an individual's perception of, and relationship with, the environment. A strong sense of territoriality encourages an individual to take control of his or her environment and defend it against attack.” In order to accomplish...

He was also charged with arson as a result of the fire he started at the crime scene.

Carolyn Casey stated to a friend she was feeling unwell and left the party. In the early morning hours of May 28, Fire Fighters responded to a call at the Dou Chene Apartment Complex in College Station. Upon entering into the Unit they found the Victim.

...In today’s world surveillance cameras are everywhere. They can be seen in public places such as malls, banks, restaurants and at the workplace. The use of security cameras has plenty of benefits to offer, especially in reducing crimes, helping in investigations and making it convenient on keeping an eye on places at a click of a button. Even though some argue that these cameras invade privacy, more security cameras should be installed in every premise. One of the main reasons that security cameras are a great benefit is because they have helped reduce crime. According to Home Land Security News Wire, In August 2003, Chicago authorities installed cameras in Humboldt Park and West Garfield Park in highly conspicuous areas with flashing blue lights mounted on top. Prior to the installation of cameras, Humboldt Park had experienced a brief spike in crime with nearly 500 reported incidents in a single month, but after the cameras were put in place, crime dropped 20 percent the following month and stayed low. In contrast, in West Garfield Park, which is in the same police district, crime rates remained the same. The cameras make some people feel more secure, knowing that bad guys are being watched. Also criminals will think twice about committing a crime if they know cameras are watching. Another reason security cameras are a great benefit to use is the security cameras help law enforcement during an investigation. In one situation that security cameras have helped is during the...

...level, when it comes to crime solving, communication, making communities, and decreasing crime levels. GPS tracking and Biometrics are two very useful technologies that allow the officers of the law to catch more criminals and solve crimes a lot quicker and more efficiently. These two specific technologies allow law enforcement to catch more criminals and solve cases a lot quicker. GPS tracking systems are some of the most advanced technology that has come into play for law enforcement in this day and age. In the past, officers would have the tedious job of following criminals on foot for days or even months at a time ("GPS Tracking for Law Enforcement", 2013). Officers now have GPS tracking technology, and that allows them to monitor potential suspects actions and movements by remote in almost real time from practically anywhere by a computer that his hooked up to the internet. Officers are able to also monitor them by using an IPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and even IPad. This incredible technology will permit law enforcement to dedicate more of their valuable time, resources, and money by resolving crimes that individuals commit a lot faster. This will give the officers the advantage that they need to crack all types of crimes, ranging from the minor crimes to the very difficult criminal cases. Usually when an officer is tracking a suspect he or she has to sit out all hours of the night on a stakeout or patrolling the areas that the person was last scene. A GPS tracking system...

...is correct and make sure that all witnesses have been interviewed properly. The prosecutors will call the witnesses back to interview them to make sure that there was nothing missing from the last time the police talked to them. Sometimes witnesses will leave something out and then recall it later. The prosecution has to make sure that everything has been covered so they can make a case in court. The prosecution needs to look over the report to make sure that all the information is correct before the present it to the courts for a case. They have to make sure that they examine all the case diaries, statements of important witnesses as well as material documents or articles. They also have to make sure that the investigating officer has done the crime scene correctly. Because, if the final report is not complete it will result in a fraud. This means that if the final report is not done correctly then all the important information is left out of the report. That is why the final report needs to be important so that there is no fraud when presented to the courts to see if they have a case or not. A well written report will have who, what, where, when, why and how in the report for the prosecution to go over. A well written report can result in a conviction. But, a poorly written report can result in sloppy police work or confused thinking on the part of an arresting or investigative officer. Sometimes investigators will leave something out of the report. Every...

...Choose one global crime as a case study and critically evaluate the effectiveness of the transnational policing of this crime. This essay focuses on money laundering and argues the effectiveness of the transnational policing of this crime; money laundering is one of the world’s most prevailing organised crimes. This essay firstly defines policing from contrasting viewpoints of different philosophers as well as identifying modes of the police. I will explore the modes of policing and various definitions of policing; this essay considers definitions and approaches to policing through a transnational concept with influences from prominent figures within the ideology of transnational policing. The conventional process of money laundering is clarified together with implications of the how this global crime effects other crimes as well as society as a whole. Aided with two case studies I give examples of how money laundering takes place; taking into hindsight the effectiveness of the policing of money laundering. This essay also addresses the connection between money laundering and the risk society theory whilst also taking into consideration the contrasting views of domestic police modes and transnational police modes. Through addressing ways in which money laundering is combated through global organisations such as Interpol, I critically address significant notions of the policing of money laundering. Policing is typically understood as a method of crime control; however the...

...about a particular part of the fire service, is because I was watching a TV show CSI where they solve crimes and such. Well this topic of fire fighter arson was on the show where a fire fighter set a fire on purpose. So I decided that it looked interesting considering it is what I want to do. Fire fighter arson is basically when a fire fighter sets a fire and I will break it down on why some fire fighters do it, affects of fire fighter arson, basic profile of the fire fighter arsonist, fire service responsibilities in preventing fire fighter arson, and actions to take when a problem is suspected. There were a number of people who had been arrested for this crime and were willing to share their motivations. The biggest reason was people were looking for recognition and liked to play the role of a hero. These people would get a thrill to be the reporting party or to be first on the scene. Another reason is a person might have a psychiatric problem that they have towards the fascination with fire. While others have a low self-esteem or self-confidence, and they want to feel like they belong to a group and are accepted by others. There are many effects of fire fighter arson, which all are very clear cut effects, they include the possibility of injury, loss of life, property and financial loss due to fire, and the increase of insurance premiums that we pay when arson occurs. This crime of arson will also make the community loose trust in their fire department. This loss of trust could...

These corruption statistics damages the image of the Jamaican country which in turn discourages investors, tourist and lowers the confidence that citizens have in the JCF.
