...Running head: FUTURE CRIME SCENARIO Future Crime Scenario University of Phoenix CJA 323-Criminology Dr. Edward T. Armstrong October 16, 2007 Future Crime Scenario In a world filled with much advancement in medicine and technology, doctors have the opportunity to research and find cures. Research has become immensely elaborate and is accepted among many individuals as a means to find cures for many deadly diseases. The controversy behind new advancements and new cures, such as stem cell research, continues to cause concern on a national basis. Such technological findings have been considered by some people to be deviant acts and are not socially accepted. Controversial issues relating to the altering of human organisms has created a stigma of being a deviant act. Extensive research for scientific breakthroughs and innovative technological advancements in the medicine field has provided the necessary tools to improve human life. Many would argue that genetically altering human organisms is immoral and would cause problems beyond our control in the near future. In the following scenario, a doctor has made it clear that whether or not a patent is granted for his research, he will continue with studies either in the United States or overseas. A patent can be approved if all measures of the project have been consented upon by the Federal Government which would allow the creator the opportunity to protect the invention or discovery from...

Placing officers where crimes are likely to occur in the future in known as Predictive Policy. This is the use of technology in the process of crime fighting. Law enforcement would use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in locating on maps the location of previous crimes. This data is process using an algorithms that will predict future crimes for law enforcement. COMPSTAT 1. Input – this would be gathering the data (areas where crimes have been committed), and using (GIS) systems to create maps that identify hot spots or high crime problem areas...

...born into poor families that live in a poorer neighborhood, which isn’t their fault and they can do nothing to help it. The Robin Hood plan gives these children to get the exact same quality education as a more privileged child living in a richer district. With the extra money the poorer districts schools are able to buy new books, computers, and other materials, so that every school is kept up to date. Another good general idea is that this plan will create a more educated public in those poorer cities. With the future of that city getting a strong education, the future public in general will be brighter. Robin Hood will improve the poor cities and help their economy in the long run. Using the Robin Hood will also result in less crime. This plan will keep children in the classroom and off the streets. It will also give them the education to go get a job out of school, instead of turning to crime on the streets. Robin Hood will result in safer communities, and crime will fall in these poorer cities that are currently dealing with this problem. The Robin Hood Plan is very beneficial, and will improve these cities and the children in them. It is not fair to give a child less of a chance because he lives in a poorer neighborhood. Robin Hood is a good plan, and with out it these poorer...

...In the year 2054 in Washington D.C., a very special section of the crime task force is created called the Precrime Unit. It is under this department that future murders are seen by three gifted beings referred to as the Precogs. They see the method of murder, potential victim, and the alleged murderer. John Anderton is the chief of the precrime police and is one of the people who have helped in achieving such a buzz around the efficiency of the program to spread it nationally. With an agent keeping out a vigilant eye on the efficiency of the program, Anderton is determined to show that the program is flawless. However, he sees that the next murder seen is that of Anderton himself murdering a man named Leo Crow. Now Anderton knows that he has no intention whatsoever of killing this person because he does not know who he is, so he immediately sees it as a means to frame him for a murder to make the unit look bad. So what he does is he goes to the woman who helped develop the precrime unit, Dr. Iris Hineman, to give him a clue whether the system that he thought was perfect maybe flawed after all. He finds out that there is a minority report, or a vision that deviates from the majority of the predictions seen that may say otherwise about the murder and learns that Agatha, the female precog, is the key to solving this mystery. So Anderton has an eye transplant to confuse the eye scanners that check your id to steal Agatha. From her he learns that the he does not have a minority report...

Calling Rian Johnson for an auteur is maybe just to tighten it, but he shows up with Looper seriously as a filmmaker who has a clear vision of where his film should be pointing towards, and it is done by means of a good story rather than flashy effects. This does not mean that there is anything to complain about in the department. Looper is a little off, but the reason for the action to be found even further into the future than where the film takes place, more exactly 30 years ahead.

...Good results at school will bring success in the future. What do you have to say to this? Success? How to achieve success? Many people from all walks of life sure make a conclusion that the only way to achieve success in the future not other than achieves good results at school .Is that true? No one could possibly give an exact answer. However, in my opinion, I do not agree that good results at school will bring success in the future. In this society, many parents always told their children that they must study harder in order to pass their examination with flying colours so that they will have the key to success, have a better life. Can u guarantee? No! No one will ever know even what is waiting for you ahead, although it is just a few minutes or even a second. Statistic shown that nowadays, more and more people especially students are suffering from mental health problems. The main factor causing more people to develop mental disorders is the increasing of the stress level. As a result, the numbers of people committing suicide increases from time to time. Some may also credit their heart to rule their mind and end up by committing crime that will lead to many to tragedy just to release their pressure that they have been suffering all this years. Besides that, there are also many graduates who had been achieving good results during their entire school life. But have they succeeded in their life? Some may and some might not.

...When We Believe, We Live By: Rexanne Falalimpa Our today’s generation is the hope of our mankind for the future, but we admit that deep down in our hearts there is this doubt that is bothering us. Is the youth of today ready to face the future’s problems? Is the youth aware of the enigmas that they will solve? Are they responsive that thousands of newly birth children will lean and believe on them? Is this the time to live what we believe? Or the time to believe what we live? Juvenile crimes cases were widely discussed in present time. Teens were really open by means of smoking weeds and using illegal drugs. Early pregnancy or teenage pregnancy was also one of the problems of today’s generation. But what we are pointing now is, why do we need to see the mistakes of our youth? Why not try to believe and trust them that they will be the ones to change this world. We just have to consider them as our present heroes, our present plans for future, we just have to believe that they can and they will, because our children of today will be the leaders of our tomorrows. What we need is that we should believe in the things they can do, consider the plans they can think and trust the betterment they imply. First is that we should believe in the things they can do, so that they will be able to believe in themselves too, especially when they feel that it’s for the improvement of our country. Let’s believe that being a good adolescent is not bad. Let us consider the plans they think. Teenagers...

...Family. For Antigone, freedom of free will is ripped from her while the Younger family, even though they have free will, do not seem to make use of it. Freedom and control are the two elements evident in these two plays. Antigone tries relentlessly to procure hers by standing up for what she believes is right, while the Younger family holds on to the past letting it dictate their freedom and control both the present and future. Some might say that Antigone was stubborn and foolish for not letting go of her beliefs but she was portraying her free will and freedom to do what she thought was right. A perfect example of this was when Creon asked her if she was the one who committed the ‘crime/burial, “Do you deny you did this, yes or no?” “Antigone replies, I did it. I don’t deny a thing” (Antigone- 1322). She had the courage, guts, and tenacity to exercise her own discretion and did not fear adversity. The Youngers, on the other hand, are quite the opposite. Although they had the right of freewill and control, they never seemed to take any chances to live for the future but rather let the past undermine what was present and ahead. Mama, seems to be living by rules that her dead husband had set forth and cannot seem to break away from them. For example when Ruth says “Now what kind of talk is that? Mr. Younger would just be plain mad if he could hear you talking foolish like that” She responds “Yes… he sure would (Sighing)”, (A Raisin in the Sun 469). Both Ruth and Mama do not seem...

...Personal Responsibility Even though some people never develop strong personal responsibility skills, it is a trait, which is taught by parents and by peers growing up. These skills can determine the outcome of the future and the degree of success. Personal responsibility skills are lacking these days with the high rise of crime, especially with teenagers. Often enough, I hear my children’s friends blaming problems or trouble on other friends or on their parents. This is a direct connection of not taking person responsibility. An article clearly stated this as “Parental responsibility is being embraced as an important method for preventing future juvenile delinquency’ (White, Augosustino & Taplin, 2007). I’ve always made a conscious effort to teach my children the difference between right and wrong. This includes making good choices and when they haven’t, they need to face the consequences. Personal responsibility is showing respect to oneself and peers. This is an ongoing life lesson that will need to be continually developed when encountering different types of who will challenge it. Using these skills in college and life correctly will lead to a successful outcome. Starting college and identifying the correct career path is the first start. Achieving the goals set will come if it’s visualized first. According to Cheema and Bagchi (2011) “This research demonstrates that as people approach a goal, external representations, which increase the ease of visualizing...

...Technological Communication Methods and Practices Paper The future brings for us many unknowns especially when it comes to law enforcement. Law enforcement technology has come a long way from its early days. Technology has facilitated the job for many law enforcement positions. Thanks to DNA and fingerprinting many cold case crimes have been solved, in addition many wrongfully accused have obtain their well-deserved freedom. In 2013 we can expect many advancements such as: brain fingerprinting, as well as recon scout throwbot (a robotic camera), lastly iPads to record statements made from witnesses and suspects. Brain fingerprinting was invented by Dr. Lawrence Farwell it remains a controversial procedure thus this is why it has yet to be used hopefully in the near future. Many oppose this method stating that it violates the 5th amendment which protects you against self-incrimination. The way brain fingerprinting works is by placing a headband around your head which measures brain wave responses when shown a particular body of writing or an image that was previously familiar. The "Search Security" (2000-2012) website states that this technique is more effective and reliable than a lie detector test thus this test is 99.99% infallible. The recon scout throwbot is a robotic camera that is throw able capable of seeing in complete darkness. This would allow law enforcement to save many lives; it would allow officers to throw in this device during dangerous and hostile environments...

...since I was 13, the age at which I made my very first step to high school. I was born in Viet Nam seventeen years ago. My country is fairly impoverished compares to America and so is my family. Due to the poverty, I was raised in a substandard community, which allowed me to witness a number of transgressions and crimes during my childhood. However, my parents are the role models of my life; they’re well-educated and high moral enough to put all of their kids in a Catholic church organization in order to civilize us since we were little. This long period of time being with God has shaped me to become an ethical and righteous person, who is not easy to be influenced by the faulty community around me. Until now, church is very important to me, as it is my second house. I attend mass every Sunday and I’m also a part of my church’s Youth Organization. For me, God is my best friend and I share my day with Him mostly every night. When I was 13, my family finally got called up for an interview to migrate to the States. My parents let my brothers and I to make the decision whether we wanted to move to another country or not. Since it’s going to determine our futures, so they want us to decide where do we want to study and shape ourselves. Honestly, I was hesitant at first. Thinking of leaving a country where I had grown up in with all the unforgettable memories, leaving behind all of my friends, my teachers, schools, my church, and my childhood was not really easy for me.

...terminology used is not technical. The writing is humorous, optimistic, and engaging. The content is eye-opening, insightful, terrifying, and thought-provoking – simultaneously. Being both informative and enjoyable, the writing style reminded me of Freakonomics in many ways. Graphic devices such as flow charts, cartoons, diagrams, data tables, and other illustrations made the information easier to understand. The author incorporates case studies, anecdotes, literature, quotes, theory, popular culture and other elements to enhance the entertainment value of the work. This is the world that we live in. On a daily basis, the subjective choices we make are compiled and used to forecast myriad outcomes for future decisions. While admitting the odds of predicting the behavior of an individual are less likely, the author readily asserts that data is used more effectively to anticipate the preferences of various groups of people. Through this book, I learned that predictive analytics is the intricate process of connecting scraps of information about groups of people in order to estimate the actions of group members. Although individual calculations are not often accurate, and are routinely one percent or less, a fraction can represent an advantage of millions of dollars when applied to a sizable group. It is important to note the distinction of predictive analytics in comparison to established practices of forecasting...
