...of Investigation Bus Radio Theft Investigation This paper discusses the bus theft investigation scenario from the simulation web link. This work will describe documents, interviews, direct observations, and tactics for conducting the investigation. The questions asked, technological tools, and documentation will also be described. During the last three years there have been thefts of radios from buses in the Kellsey Unified School District vehicle yard. Most of the thefts occur one to three weeks after installation of the radios. Interviews included the security guard, Suley Smiley. He stated that he was on duty but did not see anything. Earl Folley the transportation director said that he was just dropping off his wife. Documentation included the footprint on bus 19. The footprint was photographed and documented in the notes in case it matches the foot of a future suspect. The area near where the radio was taken from bus 19 was also photographed and fingerprinted. Technological tools included photography and fingerprinting on bus 19. In practice an investigator would likely take pen and paper notes then probably use a computer to author final reports. In practice an investigator might also use a recording device to preserve witness statements. Other sources of information might include employee personnel files and background checks. The files and the checks might reveal persons who have a history of criminal behavior. The bus theft investigation included...

...Bus Radio Theft Investigation Case Charles Roberts SEC/430 June 2, 2014 David Lastra Bus Radio Theft Investigation Case One word or term you will always here when you hear about a crime or theft is the word investigation. An investigation will take place after a crime or theft in order for authorities to learn more about the case they are undertaking, and also to find out the reasons for the thefts, possible reasons for the thefts, and why they chose the location or victims of the theft. The case in this example we will discuss is known as Kelsey more specifically as the “Bus Radio Theft Case.” This incident took place at one of the schools in the town of Kelsey, which is known as the Unified School District. The perpetrators, another term known during investigations, were stealing radios from school buses at the Kelsey bus yard. This case took place a few years ago, but there are lessons to be learned by doing a study of the facts, and in doing that one should be able to solve the mystery of the bus radio thefts. I will evaluate how the investigation team of this case produced and accumulated their information, how they made observations, and the consequences from these resolutions built from this information. We will also take a look at a few of the important and very helpful techniques the team used to make this investigation into a success, including conducting interviews with the right people and asking the right questions, as well as how the...

They might know about identity theft, viruses, Trojans and worms however what they fail to recognize is how these things are accomplished and if they have actually fallen victim to one of these horrible attacks. But what about attacks with even greater impacts…like someone hacking into the computer system of a car that controls the brakes? Perhaps penetrating the systems that control nuclear power plants? Although it seems unlikely that either of these extremely scary scenarios would ever happen, it is most definitely possible. One researcher for IBM’s Internet Security Systems told the owners of a nuclear power station that he could hack into their system through the Internet. The power station took this as a joke, responding to Scott Lunsford, the IBM researcher, with a laugh in his face saying that it was “impossible”. In response, Scott took up the power plant on their words and proved them wrong. In less than twenty-four hours, Scott’s team had infiltrated the system and in...

...U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation 2012 The Strategic Information and Operations Center at FBI Headquarters is the 24/7 command post that monitors FBI operations and law enforcement activities around the globe. An FBI agent examines a potentially contaminated letter during a white powder training exercise. 2012 The FBI Story I A Message from FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III For the FBI and its partners, 2012 was a year that reminded us once again of the seriousness of the security threats facing our nation. During the year, extremists plotted to attack—unsuccessfully, thanks to the work of our Joint Terrorism Task Forces—the U.S. Capitol, the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and other landmarks on U.S. soil. Tragically, on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, a hateful attack in Benghazi took the lives of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans. In the cyber realm, a rising tide of hackers took electronic aim at global cyber infrastructure, causing untold damages. High-dollar white-collar crimes of all kinds also continued to siphon significant sums from the pocketbooks of consumers. And in Newtown, Connecticut, 20 young children and six adults lost their lives in one of the worst mass shootings in American history, ending a year of violence that saw similar tragedies around the country. Working with its colleagues around the globe, the FBI is committed to taking a leadership role in protecting the nation. As you can see from...

...Store Manager Incentive Design and Retail Performance: An Exploratory Investigation Headnote Store managers perform multiple tasks within a store, and the way in which they are evaluated and rewarded for these tasks affects their behavior. Using empirical data from multiple stores of a consumer electronics retailer, Tweeter Home Entertainment Group, we highlight the extent to which store manager incentive design impacts store manager behavior and, consequently, retail performance. More specifically, we describe the shift in store manager behavior resulting from a change in incentives, which, in part, altered the importance of sales relative to inventory shrinkage in the store manager compensation plan. Store managers, following this change, directed less attention to the prevention of inventory shrinkage and more toward sales-generating activities and made different process choices within the store. We observed increases in the level of inventory shrinkage and sales within these stores. Controlling for alternative drivers of sales and inventory shrinkage, we find this change in incentive design to be associated with a profit improvement of 4.2% of sales. This work indicates that altering how store managers are compensated impacts retail performance. Moreover, our findings underscore the importance of balancing the rewardsgiven for different types of activities in contexts where agents face multiple competing tasks.

...Perception of College Students towards Advertisement of Selected………… Chapter 1 Introduction and Background of the Study The term 'motel' in the United States is outdated and very few motel chains still exist. Motels, very popular starting in the 1960s when travel by car was on the rise, have now been replaced by budget chain hotels typically used by road warriors. In the year 2000, the American Hotel-Motel Association removed 'motel' from its name after doing considerable market research and finding the term to be passed. This national association is now called the American Hotel and Lodging Association. The association felt that using the term 'lodging', instead of 'motel', more accurately reflects the large variety of different style hotels including luxury and boutique hotels, suites, inns, budget, and extended stay hotels. Perception is subjective in interpretation as brought about by experiences. A particular object can mean differently to varied individuals. Some think it is a positive, others think negative, or they are unaware of the stimulus. Perception is the whole system by which stimuli affect whatever is the cognition and behaviour of the individual automatically responding to the stimuli. Advertising is a form of communication intended to persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to purchase or take some action upon products, ideas, or services. It includes the name of a product or service and how that product or service...
