...Interrogation- questioning a suspect or witness by law enforcement authorities. Once a person being questioned is arrested, he/she is entitled to be informed of his/her legal rights, and in no case may the interrogation violate rules of due process. * Interrogation may be considered as accusatory, which differentiates it from interviewing. * Context of interrogation is always coercive. Although police powers may be small, psychological powers are very great * Some interrogation tactics use physical coercion, as evidenced in US with Afghanistan non-combatants e.g. water boarding. * Generally, interrogation tactics are based on psychological techniques or deceptive tactics. These techniques are designed to play on the emotions of the suspect- in the case of water boarding the fear of drowning. 1.1 The Reid Technique * Most extensively used and promoted ‘interrogation system’ * Developed by the FBI * Works on the principle of escape- * Make the interrogation as uncomfortable as possible * Suspects extricate themselves by confessing Strategy includes * Make context anxiety inducing * Use interrogation tactics to induce anxiety * Help suspects confess 1.2 The Physical Environment Of The Interrogation Characteristics which induce dependence and submission to authority, anxiety, anger and/or fear. * Isolation in cell, in an interview room (no distractions) * Inability to make choices- tea, coffee, going to toilet are in hands of the interrogator...

...Law, n.d.). A pertinent legal issue associated with security interrogations is the authority to make judgment calls. There had been many debates on interrogation tactics used to elicit a confession from a suspect. The use of torture is a common issue of contention in modern society. The dilemma of whether it is acceptable to use torture to save lives had been debated in courtrooms, senates and public forums with no definite policy set in place. In the interrogations of top Al-Qaida operatives in three military bases, the FBI drew the line against the use of harsh and possibly illegal interrogation methods to obtain information (Associated Press, 2008). Another legal issue is the use of deceit and trickery in interrogations. According to Reid and Associates, investigators are allowed to make false statements during an interrogation. For instance, investigators can falsely claim they...

...Child Abuse Child abuses are brutal attacks which harm children through physical, sexual, and emotional problems. “Child abuse does not develop in a vacuum, but arises in families in which parents turn to increasingly coercive means of controlling their children’s behavior. Child abuse comes from a complex combination of personal, social, and cultural factors. Many factors contribute to child abuse stress, a history of child abuse in at least one of the parents families of origin, parents with poor anger management skills, alcohol or substance abuse acceptance of violence as a way of coping with stress, failure to become attached to the children, and rigid attitudes toward childrearing (Belsky, 1993). Unemployment and low socioeconomic status are among the more common stressors associated with child abuse. Although abuse is found in all sectors of society (Nevid 477).” Child abuse occurs throughout the nation which involves punishment for both the abusers and the abused persons. Most children get abused by their parent, neighbor, or relative. Child abuse usually occurs in the home the child is living in but sometimes it may occur in other settings such as a daycare center. “Reports of child maltreatment involving day care centers and foster care homes attract a great deal of attention such publicity has created the perception that abuse is common place in these out of home settings. However, this perception seems out of line with reality (Finkelnor &Williams...

...Supply Chain Network Analysis and Design: Location Analysis PROC 5820 7 May 2014 Summary The principal thesis of this paper is to discuss location analysis and its role in supply chain network analysis and design. The emphasis of site location is of strategic importance to all organizations seeking to maximize profits and minimize costs. The logistics/supply chain network design has six major planning steps in the process of designing a comprehensive logistics/supply chain network: The first step is to define the logistics/supply chain design process. The second step is to perform a logistics/supply chain audit. The third step is to examine the logistics/supply chain network alternatives. The fourth step is to conduct a facility location analysis, followed by the fifth step, which is to make decisions regarding network and facility location. The sixth and final step is to develop an implementation plan. Location analysis is also discussed in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of globalization and major location site factors. The discussion then describes the methods for evaluating major location site factors and making location decisions based on the evaluation. The paper concludes with discussing different modeling approaches and the need for comprehensive planning.

...the information to track trends, problems, and new business opportunities. They can track such things as seeing if the ice-cream flavor Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is gaining on Cherry Garcia for the top sales spot, product sales by location, and rates of change. This information is then used to more accurately forecast product sales. Numerous other companies, such as Procter & Gamble, General Electric, Lands’ End, Sears, and Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, are investing in the same type of software in order to improve forecast accuracy. (R. Dan Reid & Nada R. Sanders, 2009) It is not possible to accurately forecast the future. Because of the qualitative nature of forecasting, a business can come up with different scenarios depending upon the interpretation of the data. For this reason, organizations should never rely 100 percent on any forecasting method. However, an organization can effectively use forecasting with other tools of analysis to give the organization the best possible information about the future. Making a decision on a bad forecast can result in financial ruin for the organization, so...

...The aim of this investigation was to examine the psychological factors contributing to the wrongful conviction of Martin Conmey. Comney was found guilty of the manslaughter of Úna Lynskey in Ireland in 1972 but has asserted that the police coerced him into his confession. An analysis of the interviewing techniques used by police in different countries may illuminate how wrongful convictions occur. Due to the interrogative nature of the US police-interviewing system, there is no safeguard against the occurrence of false confessions during investigations. Studies indicate that the US police-interviewing strategy, the Reid Technique, is psychologically manipulative, aiming to weaken the suspect’s ability to make decisions and retain successful...

...Reports Academic Writing: A Guide to Tertiary Level Writing | 61 Basic Report Writing What Is a Report? A report is a specific form of writing that is organised around concisely identifying and examining issues, events, or findings that have happened in a physical sense, such as events that have occurred within an organisation, or findings from a research investigation. These events can also pertain to events or issues that have been presented within a body of literature. The key to report writing is informing the reader simply and objectively about all relevant issues. There are three features that, together, characterise report writing at a very basic level: a pre-defined structure, independent sections, and reaching unbiased conclusions. Having a Pre-Defined Structure At a very basic level, a report can be distinguished from an essay by the creation of headings into which information is organised. Broadly, these headings may indicate sections within a report, such as an Introduction, Discussion, and Conclusion. Within the main section(s) making up the body of the report (the Discussion in the example just given), there is often an opportunity to create your own structure according to the literature you have sourced, your development of ideas, and the task assigned. An example of a report structure is presented below. Two versions are provided in which the first version indicates main sections and sub-sections through indenting, and the second does so through...

...focuses on my experience of learning from reflection on giving intramuscular (IM) injections, using Gibbs's (1988) reflective model. I demonstrate how practice anxiety, as a student nurse, can be dealt with through effective mentoring. I chose the seminal theory of Gibbs reflection on practice, as it illustrates six significant stages; description, feelings, evaluation, analysis of the incident, conclusion and an action plan Ghaye and Lillyman (1997). Gibbs cycle is used throughout the process of reflecting on the incident to help me make sense of my practice and understand what l could do differently to enhance good practice. I use my experience from a placement simulation as I could not be on actual placement due to unforeseen circumstances. Reflection is a process through which healthcare practitioners and students can learn from experience and use the knowledge to inform and improve practice Schon, (1983). The ability to reflect on one's actions is particularly imperative in clinical practice and discourse. As Jarvis (1992) asserted, there is no consensus on the definition of reflection as it is a broad concept. Reid (1993, p305.) define reflection as; “a course of action reviewing an occurrence of practice to describe, analyse, evaluate and so inform learning about practice” Schon (1983) identified two types of reflection which are; reflection in action, which takes place during the event where the practitioner may not be aware that it is happening and reflection on action, which...

...supposed to be planned and systematic needs to be highlighted. Moreover, the second aspect to be highlighted is related the objective of training, which is described as enhancement of specific work-related abilities. A simple but systematic model which captures the characteristics of training and development described above is the so called training cycle. It is characterised by displaying training not as a single and occasional event with a fixed starting and end point, but as a continuous process and an infinite circle. (Tayler, 1991) Since the 1970s and to the present the training cycle is the conventional model for organisational training and development. Originally and referring to Armstrong (2001), Donelly (1987) as well as Kenney & Reid (1986) the training cycle can be divided into four stages. As a first step in the cycle, training needs need to be analysed in order to specify which skills or knowledge are required but missing within the organisation or individual employees. The second step refers to the design of training programmes. After the training needs are analysed, a training is designed based on the required skills or knowledge, including the development of a training plan. The third stage describes the...
