...Critically assess the claim that juvenile delinquency was legislated into existence in the nineteenth century. After a few preliminary comments contextualising the claim, I will; 1. Explore the changes in Legislation and Law enforcement agencies in the early to mid-nineteenth century focusing on the ways in which they contributed to the development of the concept of ‘juvenile delinquency’. 2. Consider the arguments of nineteenth century social investigators and reformers and their influence both on the legislative process and on the construction of the concept of juvenile delinquency. 3. Finally and by way of a conclusion, briefly discuss the broader social economic and political context of nineteenth century reforms in order to suggest that whilst legislation is important, the claim in the question overstates its significance. The idea that there can be a juvenile delinquent is impossible without the concept of childhood as a distinct phase of individual growth and development. ‘Childhood’ has become a universal category; a status which affords particular rights, for example those outlined in agreements between states such as the universal declaration of the rights of the child. This recognition of the special status of ‘childhood’ is a social construct (Hendrick, 2002). We may take our understanding of what it is to be a child for granted as ‘natural’ but it is not until the late middle ages that a period and morality of childhood began to be distinguished...

...Computerized Accounting Computerized Accounting Over the past two decades the way accounting data is entered, stored and processed has changed considerably. This is due to the introduction of computerized accounting packages. It is no longer necessary for large companies to have huge store rooms full of ledgers and records. Instead all information can be stored in computer hard disks. Accounting packages give many advantages over manual systems, for example entries do not have to be recorded in multiple ledgers. A single entry is made and the package will update all the appropriate accounts automatically. Computerized accounting packages also make it possible for people in other departments, not just accounting to enter data. It does not require a vast amount of accounting knowledge for a pay role clerk to enter wages details into the accounts. Just a basic understanding of how to use the package is needed. Furthermore these packages simplify the use of the double entry system greatly. In a manual accounting system, as well as creating an audit trail to record all transactions, a trail balance, profit and loss account and a balance sheet would have to be manually drawn up. Computerized accounting packages have the ability to do all this from just having the companies transactions entered into the relevant spreadsheets. [1]A great benefit of these packages is that, as the business grows the cost of using the software...

...Recommendation to Sara Lee Corporation: IT utilization of e-commerce Lionel Warren & Hamjat Jallomy Bah Consultants Instructor: Professor Herniter Course: IS535 August 15, 2011 Abstract Information technology represents the future of global business. The amount of trade conducted electronically has grown extraordinary with the widespread use of the internet. In order for companies to effectively compete, it is essential that they have e-commerce as part of their selling and buying strategy. Companies should also integrate e-commerce with their Customer Relationship Management. There are several e-commerce software systems on the market place. It is imperative in selecting software for a company that the appropriate decision is made for the type of software required to meet the company’s objectives and goals. Sara Lee Corporation has been in existence since 1956, but does not currently use e-commerce as part of its business strategy. In order to make a recommendation to Sara Lee Corporation, a review of the companies selling and buying methods will be done as well as how it compares to other companies who are utilizing e-commerce. Three Online Customer Management Software tools will be evaluated to determine which to recommend to Sara Lee Corporation. The expectation is that Sara Lee will incorporate CRM with e-commerce to better serve their customer base and improve on their bottom line. Sara Lee is a business-to-business company which means they are mostly...

...Reed’s Clothier Case Study FIN370 Finance for Business STUDENT University of Phoenix INSTRUCTOR DATE Reed’s Clothier Case Reed’s Clothier Inc. has struggled financially for the past three years. Owner, Jim has requested to his banker Harold Holmes to extend the company’s credit line in order to pay a $130,000 note payable that is going to be due soon. Unfortunately, the banker refused to give any additional credit and recommended to reduce the store’s inventory through an inventory reduction sale. The banker also recommended bringing Clothier’s accounts receivable to the industry averages. Jim argued that that he was going through a temporary cash flow problem and an inventory reduction sale would have a negatively impact on the sales. The eight answers below will help to determine Reed’s Clothier financial health and if its owner, Jim, should follow the recommendation that were provided by his banker. Question #1 Calculate a few ratios and compare Reed’s results with industry average. What do these ratios indicate? Liquidity Ratios: Current Ratio = Current Assets = 1960 = 2.0 Current Liabilities 1030 Quick Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory = 921 - 491 = 0.9 Current Liabilities 457 Receivables Turnover = Sales = 2,035 = 4.9 Accounts Receivable 413 Average Collection Period = ___365 _____...

McCaslin University of Idaho, Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA Karen Wilson Scott University of Idaho, Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA The Five-Question Method is an approach to framing Qualitative Research, focusing on the methodologies of five of the major traditions in qualitative research: biography, ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, and case study. Asking Five Questions, novice researchers select a methodology appropriate to the desired perspective on the selected topic. The Method facilitates identifying and writing a Problem Statement. Through taking a future perspective, the researcher discovers the importance and direction of the study and composes a Purpose Statement. The process develops an overarching research question integrating the purpose and the research problem. The role of the researcher and management of assumptions and biases is discussed. The Five-Question Method simplifies the framing process promoting quality in qualitative research design. A course outline is appended. Key words: Qualitative Research, Five-Question Method, Biography Research, Phenomenology Research, Grounded Theory Research, Case Study Research, and Ethnography Research Introduction Planning a qualitative study for the first time tends to be an intimidating venture for graduate students just entering...

...Summary The main purpose of this report is to identify the key business challenges for M&M’s, the confectionary brand of Mars Inc., and develop management solutions and specific recommendations on how effective leadership can meet these challenges in the company. The report proposes organisational change for the firm, which is fully driven by leadership and management strategies. It is identified that the key challenges for M&M’s are weak technological base, insufficient innovation in the sphere of product and package design, dependence on suppliers, conflict of interests in the management team, flat organisational structure, trade barriers, increased competition and insufficient CSR efforts. It is recommended that the organisational change should include the change of leadership style to more inspirational and transformational, achievement of more hierarchical organisational structure and implementation of the diversification marketing strategy.
