...Controlling Organized Crime Paper LaShanda McMahon 1/26/15 CJA/384 Professor Faggione Controlling Organized Crime Paper Crime is a part of every type of society. It would be naïve to believe that a society could completely rid itself of crime, as long as there are people in the world crimes will be commited. Crime is based on the perception and the actions of individuals. Some see their actions as good and some see them as bad. The problem with this is that sometimes the perception of those committing negative acts that society views as crimes do not see their actions as criminal. Crime is based on the actions of the individuals and depending upon the moral statutes that the society has brought upon them the society deems what is criminal by what they perceive and have implemented as illegal. In this paper an attempt to identify the problems, which are obtainable, and the innumerable associations recognized through organized crime will be established. We will attempt to designate the legitimate boundaries correlated with contesting organized crime, involving an analysis of the general national laws and stratagems that sustenance this exertion. We will also attempt to propose a convincing clarification regarding controlled organized crime by examining and assessing the efficiency of organized crime examinations.

..."Hackers and Cyber Criminal Organizations" Please respond to the following: From the first and second e-Activities, explain the hacker ethic and hacker manifesto. Give your opinion fas to why hackers do not consider themselves to be criminals. Include one (1) example of such types of hackers to support your response. Hackers look at their abilities as a culture; they share in the same beliefs and the same need to constantly learn and discover in the cyber world. Most Hackers don’t engage in illegal action; it is more about the skills and motivation that drives them. The normal Hackers ethic is not profiting from their hack and not purposely harming the computer system. A Hacker is usually simply a person that shows a profound interest in a computer, how it works, and the technology used to access parts of the system itself. They feel that in most cases their knowledge is actually useful and most are authorized to hack into the systems. Some Hackers believe that hacking is a learning experience; including creative problem solving and educating others about the vulnerabilities with computer security. I feel that Hackers that are trying to protect other people are the Hackers that don’t find themselves criminals; however it is hard to determine in certain cases and situations what is legal and illegal hacking. The White Hat Hacker is the Hacker that wouldn’t consider their job a crime; some have graduated from college and work for large companies testing software, testing defenses...

...Amendment Essay Jake Russell AJS/503 Intro to Graduate Study in Criminal Justice April 11 2015 Many law enforcement officers have been accused of illegal searches and seizing property for evidence illegally with no probable cause. That is unconstitutional according to the fourth amendment. The fourth amendment protectects the right of the people to be secure in their homes, cars, any personal belongings, and no warrant can be issued without probable cause. That means an officer can't just infiltrate your home because he thinks some drugs are inside. Him/Her will need sufficient reason based on facts known to believe a crime has been committed or that certain property is connected with some illegal activity. In an New York Times article Newark, New Jersey has had several instances of unlawful practices and illegal stops and searches by police officers. To deal with these problems a proposal to have officers wear cameras and also make some changes to individual department policies on search and seizures has been made. The justice department revealed a document stating that seventyfive percent of people stopped was without probable cause, and the majority people stopped by the police were minorities. Even the property seized unjustified such as drugs and firearms was gone unreported. The fourth amendment was created just for this issue. Some officers take too much authori...

...because of their action in history. Staples himself writes “ I was scarcely noticeable against a backdrop of gang warfare, street knifings, and murders” (Staples, 116). In other words, Staples believes that the causes of black people being portrayed differently in our society is because of their action in history. Most people were against racism before and now. Black people were angry about them being judged easily when they tried to have their voice out there, it resulted in them being judged more by our society. This shows how society doesn’t give voice to the subgroups and judge them easily for what has happened in the past. Black people would rather stay hidden in...

...The novel 1984 by George Orwell brings up many ideas that seem absolutely crazy on the surface, but resemble, when looked into deeper, more similarly today’s conditions than originally thought. One of these topics is surveillance, specifically government and law enforcement surveillance. In the world today, surveillance solves crimes and keeps an eye on things in important buildings and even on some streets, making it a good thing, but too much surveillance, especially when no laws restrict it in any way, harms society in an irreversible way. The telescreens in 1984 are mega versions of security cameras, the undercover Thought Police compare to undercover police officers in their patience and tactics, and the hidden cameras and microphones equate to things such as wiretapping and using a cell phone as a listening device. These techniques, used on wide scales in both societies, differ greatly in how they are executed. In 1984, the Party uses them on everyone equally, while in today’s society, using them requires government and law enforcement officials to utilize them strictly for watching and studying possible threats. Telescreens, A huge part of the society in 1984, find themselves literally everywhere among the Party members, and anyone can be watched at any time with them. The proles have the option to install one in their house or not because, according to the Party views them as equivalent to animals. One of the Party’s slogans even states, “Proles and animals are free...

... TAX RESEARCH MEMORANDUM ASSIGNMENT 2 It appears as though a couple of your clients have encountered an unfortunate development in their financial situation. Cindy and Ralph Edmonds own TidyCo., Inc. TidyCo, in turn, owns and operates several coin Laundromats in and around Dubuque, Iowa. Over the last two years, the Edmonds made weekly deposits of the Laundromat receipts to corporate and personal bank accounts. However, it now also appears (unknown to you!) they also siphoned off a portion of the weekly collections and took them home rather than depositing them. These amounts, which appear to total about $200,000 were hidden in shoeboxes around the house and (surprise!) were not reported as income. The IRS found out about these amounts and has notified them that it intends to bring criminal tax evasion charges against them under Section 7201 of the Code. The IRS has made quite clear that it believes that the Edmonds’ actions constitute prima facie evidence that they intended to defraud the government and should therefore be liable under the statute. As their accountant, you know that TidyCo has a deficit in both its accumulated and current E&P accounts and that this deficit has existed over the entire period that the IRS contends the Edmonds illegally invaded income taxation. It also appears as though the Edmonds’ basis in their TidyCo stock is $300,000 (before the stashed-away money at their home is considered). Do these...

...In “Cruel Hand” – “The New Jim Crow”, talks about the legal and social challenges the drug criminals confront as they battle to reintegrate themselves into the unfriendly standard American culture after they are discharged from jail. Alexander investigates “the stigma of criminality” (Alexander 2012:141) that takes after these individuals long after they have served their jail sentence. The author begins by depicting how these drug offenders have frequently been made to concede to drug charges leveled against them, in return for "tolerant" court sentences, without truly knowing the hidden results of their request. These liberated criminals just stand excluded from public housing yet that even private house proprietors are lawfully approved...
