...Criminology and Education (BScEcon) offers students the chance to not only acquire knowledge of the educational policies and systems governing various societies, but will develop understanding of the criminal justice system and the sociological implications associated with this, leading to important (and employable) skills acquisition. Criminology is the scientific study of crime and criminality as well as society’s response thereto. Criminology incorporates various disciplines such as psychology, history, law, sociology, anthropology, psychiatry and has sub-categories including victimology (studying victims), penology (reviewing prisons), psychological analysis (profiling of crime scenes and perpetrators), etc. An economic profile is a basic overview of the economy in a certain state, country, or city. An economic profile should always include the expenditure or consumption of money in that area. An economic profile combines narrative information with selective business and financial data to provide an overview of the economic landscape of an industry, business sector, city, region or nation. Companies use economic profiles to assess new investment opportunities and evaluate the desirability of an area for relocation or business expansion. In government, these reports provide valuable intelligence and inform economic policy. Writing an economic profile requires knowing your audience and what it expects to learn from the report, as well as attention to the basics of good professional...

...awareness to the significant benefits of education directed the school towards offering different courses, specifically in the tertiary level. One of such education is Criminology, a highly intellectual field, especially because the majority of the job’s responsibilities rely on determining and analyzing criminal patterns. According to Agas (2008), criminology focused on the study of crime, the causes of crime, the meaning of crime in terms of law, and community reaction to crime. It also deals with the scientific study of criminals and criminal behavior. Criminologists attempt to build theories that explain why crimes occur and test those theories by observing behavior. This course focuses on such topics as criminal jurisprudence, criminal sociology, crime detection and investigation, drug education and vice control, law enforcement administration, correctional administration, industrial security management, probation, and juvenile delinquency. As such, criminology students shall pass all of the General Education and Professional subjects and undergo Comprehensive Review to be more capable of passing the Licensure Examination. General Education subjects like English, Mathematics, Filipino, and Science serve as the basic foundation of learning in other subjects in the curriculum of BS Criminology like technical report writing which helps the students to be aware of what is the actual way on how the police officers made blotter and police report writing, while...

...employer or a business establishment is that a person applying for work should be of good moral character. In most cases, a job applicant is required to secure clearances from either the National Bureau of Investigation or the Philippine National Police. The clearances serve as certificate of good moral character and behavior. The clearance reveals if a person has a clean police record or if he/she has been already convicted of a crime. The employment situations of ex-convicts are a different story because the certificate secured from the said law enforcement agency reveals that the applicant has a bad record on file. Employers tend to reject people with a criminal record for the following reasons: people with a criminal record are seen, generally, as undesirable, to show moral disapproval; concern that employers would be held responsible for recruiting a person with a criminal record. As of now, there is no known employment statistics concerning ex-convicts and even if there is, it has not been used to help ex-convicts in gaining employment. In Lipa City. Almost...

Deciding to return back to school is never an easy decision, but I believe I can one day contribute to the future minds that wish to study criminology. I recently had a daughter and I often think about the society in which she is now a member. The other day I voted and I took my daughter along to witness our beautiful system of democracy at work. I am interested in graduate school to advance my career and to obtain the additional skills to empower a world unknown of its ability. In October of 2010, I had to honor to help the attorney I was working with in assisting her with a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) to present to the other attorneys for their quarterly training. In 2011 I was a recipient of the NYC Law Department Legal Assistant Achievement Award and Certified Commissioner of Deeds for the City of New York. • Academic Experience When I matriculated into Virginia Union University, I picked a general major of Business Administration and Management.

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Introduction: With the development and transformation of Central Luzon College of Science and Technology (CELTECH COLLEGE) simultaneously the increasing number of students enrolling from different courses specially to Maritime Education that make the school became popular at the same time the expectations of students its radical changes in terms of facilities .At the end of the life cycle of an item of technology, the issue arises as to whether it is more economical to use or dispose of obsolete equipment. As improvement on CELTECH COLLEGE accelerates, this issue can arise within a year or two of purchase. In some cases, particularly where the technology will continue to perform satisfactorily to their students notwithstanding that it is obsolete, it may be worth retaining. In other cases, it may be desirable to upgrade technology quickly in order to gain some benefit from reselling the old equipment while it retains some value. The issue of when to upgrade obsolete equipment must be taking action, as it will impact on the likely cost of the school and increasing number of students will going to enroll. On the other hand, if the life of a piece of transformation can be extended so that it can be used over several times, the cost of those changes can be amortized over that time. This will serve to reduce the longer-term cost of implementing Navigational Equipments. This approach necessitates a deliberate decision to reuse equipments...

...Page.1 Introduction Student Employment is a very common practice in the Philippines. With a significant portion of the student population engaging in part-time jobs, it is not a surprise to find working students in a classroom, especially in colleges and universities. They get employment from a variety of industries, mainly from food service, to sales and entertainment, aside from the usual jobs such as student assistants. Due to financial obstacles, a lot of college students try to juggle school and work, causing a variety of problems for them. Ranging from difficulties in time management, decline in school performance, health problems, and to personal and social problems, part-time working students face a lot of challenges and difficulties trying to balance both. A 2010 survey from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) results that can be seen in ched.gov.ph, only half of the working student populations are able to graduate from college and attain their pursued degree. This alarming result shows that majority of working students are having a difficult time to balance their jobs and studies. The purpose of this study is to find out what are the factors, coming from the working environment, that affect these student-employees, in their class performance. Despite their efforts, the pressure to balance work and school is just too much for many working students. Most students just give up on their...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and its Scope A new study from Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce finds that, over the past 25 years, more than 70 percent of college students have worked while attending school. And the number of working students has grown as college enrollment and tuition have increased. While the percentage dipped slightly during and after the recession, the overall number of working students has increased over the past quarter-century (Rapacon, 2015). Rationale of the Study Despite the fact that work is a fundamental part of life for nearly half of all undergraduate students – with a substantial number of “traditional” dependent undergraduates in employment, and working independent undergraduates averaging 34.5 hours per week – little attention has been given to how working influences the integration and engagement experiences of students who work, especially those who work full-time, or how the benefits and costs of working differ between traditional age-students and adult students (Perna, 2010). A college or university scholarship is a big help to students to attain higher education, especially in today’s society where a college education is a necessity for success. There are thousands of scholarships available, and the financial aid they offer gives a huge advantage to the student and his or her parents. But being supported by the government in paying for one’s college costs are not the only benefits included (Thomas, 2010). This study...

...dropout rate for high school has steadily fallen since the 1980’s where it was 14.1, the rate in 2008 was reported at 8.0 according to US Department of Education, the issue still at the forefront of urban affairs. The reason for the alarm is due to the correlation of dropping out of school and criminology as well as unemployment, both of which are urban problems of themselves. The problem with dropping out of school is best summed up as an individual and as a societal view. The individual consequences of a 16-24 year old quitting school include they are less likely to be part of the labor force and more likely to be unemployed. High School dropouts reportedly had worse single and family income, measures of assets, and self-reported depression than their Diploma and GED accredited counterparts. (Caputo, 2005) Education and dropout rates have significant effects on criminal incarceration, specifically fifty percent of all United States inmates are dropouts. Additionally the relationship between juvenile delinquency and school dropout rates shows a positive correlation. From a societal standpoint dropping out of school are vast and monetarily significant. Those who cannot attain or maintain employment do not pay taxes and the government loses much needed revenue. The extremely high cost of prison inmates is an obvious concern in California and the...

...May 2005 PERCEPTION OF A WHITE-COLLAR CRIME: TAX EVASION 1 By Hughlene Burton University of North Carolina at Charlotte Stewart Karlinsky San Jose State University Visiting Fellow, 2005 School of Business Law Curtin University of Technology Cindy Blanthorne University of North Carolina at Charlotte ISSN: 1321-7828 ISBN: 174067 410 3 1 This paper was previously published in the American Taxation Association Journal of Legal Tax Research. 1 PERCEPTION OF A WHITE-COLLAR CRIME: TAX EVASION Hughlene Burton, Stewart Karlinsky and Cindy Blanthorne ABSTRACT The current study was designed to investigate U.S. taxpayers’ perception of the severity of tax evasion relative to other offences in general and white-collar crimes in particular. We compared the perception of tax evasion to twenty other offences, including violent crimes such as rape and murder and relatively minor offences such as jaywalking. Due to the recent focus by lawmakers and the media on white-collar scandals and the lack of comparisons in prior literature, we also included six white-collar crimes. Overall, the results indicate that tax evasion was viewed as only somewhat serious. When comparing tax evasion to other white-collar offences, we found that tax evasion was perceived as equal in severity to minimum wage law violations and rated less serious than the other four white-collar crimes investigated. Most demographic factors (age, gender, education or income level,...
