Critical Criminology Companion Theory

Question: Discuss about the Critical Criminology Companion Theory. Answer: Introduction A crime is an act that violates law or legal ethics. Criminology deals with the study of crime. There are various theories on criminology that have developed over past 250 years while some of them have become irrelevant[1]. The concept of criminology began in the 18th century when classical school of criminology was invented by an Italian scholar Cesare Beccaria and then in the 19th century the positivists approach of criminology was defined by Cesare Lombroso. In the 20th century, two more criminology theories were invented and these were social structural criminology and social process criminology. There are several factors which is the reason of criminal offences. The factors can be psychological, social, geographical, political and economical. The scientific study about criminals and crime is known as criminology. The rate of crime has increased over the years. It has negative effect on the person who is the victim of crime and on the locality which is affected with crime[2]. The classical versus positivists schools of thought During the mid-18th century an intensifying debate started among the scholars regarding a more rational way to criminal punishment in order to abolish the cruel and harsh public executions which were used to make the people scared and be obedient. The concept of Utilitarianism was invented by an Italian scholar Cesare Beccaria and he said that the behaviour of a people is highly motivated with the avoidance of pain and pursuit of pleasure. In case of Classical School of Criminology formulating decisions are described with deterring crime[3]. It is believed by classical school that human commit the act which is the criminal act but they have their freedom to choose right or wrong which cannot be prohibited. According to him, crimes only results when rewards and pleasures on attempting a crime will be greater than that of punishment as in this case the person who is attempting the crime becomes so engrossed with the thought of that reward, the pain of punishment gets faded away from his mind[4]. Different elements of classical theory are- People have that willing capacity to choose their own preferences as lawful solutions to settle their crimes and problems. Crime becomes really appealing hen it gives great benefits just with a little effort. It is possible to control crime with the fear of punishment. Punishments which are perceived to be obvious, swift and severe will depress criminal behaviour. Certain and severe behaviour is noticed in the punishment given for the crime. In the 19th century, a new concept was discovered by Cesare Lombroso, known as the father of the criminology. This concept is called positivist theory and the views of this concept created a questionable existence of the classical theory[5]. Positivist School of Criminology believes in rational independence where criminal behaviour is presumed and qualified measurement is done on the number of crime[6]. Lombroso mentioned in his book of The Criminal Man that those who are criminals they are born with some physical traits which differ from the normal persons for instances, the criminals are born with physical features like high cheekbones, flattened noses, hard eyes, baldness, scanty beards, fleshy lips and have no sensitivity to pain[7]. These physical characteristics are also possible if a person inherits the nature of criminology from his or her parents or ancestors. Lombroso modified his positivist theory and thus other two types of theories were identified and these are the criminal old and the insane criminal. He further concluded that criminality tends to attempt less serious crimes and the insane criminal are not inborn criminals and they are turned criminal later due to alteration of their brain which automatically depresses their morals, ethics and virtues. Changes in understanding victimisation over time Victimisation refers to the state of being victimised. In the 18th century Cesare Beccaria said that the punishment has to be really severe so that the criminals dont even think of attempting a crime and this will also make them realise that the pain of punishment will outweigh the reward from the crime. Then in the 19th century, this theory was argued and the positivists told that the punishment must fit the criminal and not the crime and Cesare Lombroso told that criminals are born with some physical traits which make them appear different from those who are normal people. Again in the 20th century, social structural criminology was discovered which described that society is an organism and treated crime as a state of social pathology. Apart from the above theories, there are four theories of victimisation and these are described below- The victim precipitation theory- This theory states that those who have been victims of crime can get indulge either actively or passively in criminal offences that can lead them to injury or even death. The passive precipitation means when the victim unconsciously expresses behaviours that instigate a sense of attack. For example- the minority groups and the sexual oriented people often faces violence due to their nature of threatening people holding a special position[8]. Active precipitation on the other hand means that victimisation occurs due to provocative nature of the victim himself or herself such as a woman who gets raped active contribute to be victimised due to her provoking dress, relationship or being too intimated to a stranger. Precipitation theory is based on the structure which is based on the structure of oriented nature of crime. The lifestyle theory- This theory states that individuals are victimised due to their own lifestyle choices which invites a criminal offence to take place with the persons who have made such lifestyle choices like going alone at night, dwelling in bad areas of town or making friendship with bad companies. This theory also states that victimisation is not a random process but the choice of a lifestyle can put a person in danger of getting victimised. The lifestyle behaviours of the persons are the contributing reasons of victimisation since those individuals put themselves in the elevated risk of such danger[9]. With the help of several premises lifestyle theory is constructed. Criminal victimization is followed by uneven time and space. Deviant place theory-this theory states that more an individual will be exposing to dangerous places, the more higher will be his chance to fall victim of a crime. Deviant place theory is also known as Victim precipitation theory which suggests innate ideas about confrontation with the criminal when crime is performed by anyone. For example, if a person in a nutshell is facing a neighbourhood which is deviant, then its only way to escape from being victimise is to leave that place. Official versus unofficial data In order to facilitate democratic accountability, it is important to get the statistics of crime so that the police of the country can be informed and this will allow the public to detect the risk of crime in their locality. As per the recent statistics, an approximately 6.2 million crimes were reported in England and Wales from the Crime Survey for England and Wales. The survey further reported that 2.0 million cybercrime and 3.6 million frauds took place in the in the full year of 2016. This survey had covered more than 11.8 million incidents of crime. The trend of crime in the UK has risen to 3% as per the cases of frauds had been submitted to the police[10]. Furthermore, bulk of financial fraud has been unreported to the police and a study shows that this fraud cases on the UK issued-cards has attained an increase of 39% than the previous year. Officially 35% of crime is reported every year. Officially there is 40% of crime. Although most of the fundamental criminal issues get reported with official crime statistics till the 19th century and it also included the dark figures of crime also but in the mid 20th century, apart from this official data, unofficial crime statistics were initiated to explore and investigate the dark figures of crime. Dark figures of crime are the violence that doesnt get reported via official data to the police but these are reported in unofficial crime statistics so that preventive measures are generated and crimes can be controlled[11]. This unofficial data source is categorised into two sections and these are social-science and private-agency records and both of these are done by surveys. The social science sources include self-reports of criminal involvement and surveys of victimisation. The self-report was used initially to ventilate the offences of hidden crime in the 1940s and it is still used today in the UK. Surveys of victimisation is the most recent and probably the m ost influential and evident forecasts of hidden crimes. The survey of victimisation aims to illuminate the dark figures of crime from the perspective of the victim rather than to only exposing the crime. As per a recent statistics, an estimated 6.9 million criminal offence against households were reported, sexual offences in the UK have also sparked up to 32%. The result of these surveys helped the UK police to have an idea of the dark figures of unrecorded crime[12]. Both the police statistics and the crime surveys provide flawless information but the main difference is that the crime surveys cannot count crimes without individual victims whereas police statistics count crimes on the basis of the memory of its respondents and representatives of the sample[13]. The three Rs in criminology are rehabilitation, re-entry and recidivism. Recidivism is referred as a tendency to evolve a previous mode of action or behaviour, specifically it means relapse into a criminal behaviour. Rehabilitation means teaching a criminal to live a productive and normal life. Re-entry refers to the process of teaching criminals to live a free life i.e. transition to free living is induced in them and it includes the time when they were in prison, the process of their release and the way they are supervised after imprisonment. Different definitions of crime In criminology, the definitions of crime are dependent on the approach of how a crime has been attempted. For examples- Homicide refers to the killing of a person by another. Homicides are of two types: Criminal homicides and State-sanctioned homicide[14]. When sanction of punishment in the state is conducted by someone, then they are non criminal homicide. The criminal prosecution gives capital punishment, death punishment based on major parameter of the crime. Purposeful murder, accidental death is criminal homicide. In case of certain category manslaughter is also the cause of crime which is homicidal case. Murder refers to the intentional killing of a human being. Murder is also a crime which is the reason of personal jealously, revenge or self protection. First degree murder is referred to the intentional killing while second degree murder refers to the unintentional killing[15]. Felony murder refers to the death that occurs during serious felony like kidnapping or robbery. Manslaughter means that due to reckless conduct of the killer, a person gets killed unintentionally. Negligent homicide means killing someone due to negligence. Battery means making offensive act of physical contact with someone. Vehicular assault means reckless driving that causes injury to the others. Vehicular assault may be accidental or sometime intentional. In case of this type of assault several accidents can occur. Spousal assault means violence between domestic partners[16]. Spousal assault is performed in the case of domestic abuse or harm. It is forcefully done by the spouse. Rape is the act of forcibly compelled sexual intercourse with an adult who is below 18 or above 18 or with someone which as per law is considered as incapable of consent like in case of disabled women. Sodomy is the act of forced oral sex or consensual participation of same acts between a juvenile and an adult. Conclusion This assignment comprises a brief idea of criminology. It has discussed the concept of criminology both from the perspective of the classical schools of though and positivist idea. It has also explained how the concept of criminology and victimisation has changed over time with various theories of victimisation and criminology[17]. It has explained the importance of official and unofficial data in recording criminal offences and has also mentioned their basic difference. Lastly it has also mentioned various definitions of crimes in various contexts followed.

Key Issues in Delivering IT Business Value

Question: Discuss about the Key Issues in Delivering IT Business Value. Answer: Introduction In this age of Digitalization and globalization where operations are becoming increasingly difficult to manage, IT systems have become very important for all the enterprises. IT, which was once seen as just an enabler by the enterprises, has now also become a key differentiator in terms of the benefits and advantages. Efficient IT systems and technology also gives the competitive advantage to enterprises. For example, organizations having IT systems that forecasts demand with minor error will have a huge advantage over competitors who does not have the efficient systems to forecast. However, there are also numerous cases in the past where IT implementations have proven disastrous for organizations. There is very popular case FoxMeyer drug (Scott, Vessey, 2015) wholesaler that becomes bankrupt from the failed implementation. What makes this implementation failed and why IT failed to deliver value in this case gives rise to some very important questions about the nature of IT projects . The mystery here is that having the best technology and hiring a best consulting partner does not guarantee success. Many more things are required. Researchers have classified this failure as failure of management in aligning the IT with business strategies and goals and have huge expectations from IT implementations. Some scholars said that due to lack of skilled manpower and process owner in FoxMeyer lead to failure that can define the processes with the consultants and test the results (Chung, Ahmad, Tang, 2015). Apart from this, there are many more failures in IT projects like Hershey implementation, Nike implementing new IT systems. It would be correct to say that Information Technology has emerged as a key organizational function. However, it is not easy to implement the IT for organizations. The large organizations can still invest towards IT and make its implementation successful. However, the mid size organizations and the small size organizations would find it difficult to implement the IT. It is believed that the small and mid size organizations may have various internal and external issues while implementing or delivering the IT value. This risks or issue could be social or cultural in nature. Therefore, it is recommended that the organizations must have a clear understanding of all the internal and external factors before making any IT investment. Academicians, researchers and scholars have developed several models whereby the issues are discussed in detailed with respect to enterprises case studies and appropriate approaches are suggested. However, there is no direct formula for getting value by implementing IT. Management of each company needs to evaluate their own systems and define appropriate IT strategy that can be comprised of various models or customized to get the value. At the same time, organizations first have to understand their definition of value. Earlier, there was lack of guidance on value measurement models however currently with the evolution of IT, there are models that are developed with the help of corporate people and that is why they are fully practical with lot of insights at ground level. Discussion on such issues pertaining to delivering IT value along with various models will be the course of action of this literature review. Main concepts and model evolution There is no dearth of research on this topic with the growing evolution of IT in every aspect of life today. However, one of the pioneer Weill (1992) introduced the concept of IT conversion effectiveness to explain the issues involved in failure of some major IT projects. Weills definition of effectiveness is attributed to 4 factors top management commitment to IT, Enterprises past experience with IT, User satisfaction and political turbulence. This model does not talk about financial indicators(Rai, Arun, Patnyayakuni, 1996)). After that, there are many models developed in this area to refine and get maximum value out of IT implementations projects although there are many similarities. Lucas (1993) developed a hybrid model, which is mix of process and variance model. According to this model, 2 conditions if occurs in sequence lead to effective outcome. The first one is necessary but not sufficient that IT should be aligned with the firms task. The second condition effective IT design is not sufficient for performance outcome unless it is used. If monitored closely, Lucas stressed on one of the factor of Weill (1992) which is user satisfaction. This is important aspect and many models include it. User understanding of the system, effective training and their satisfaction is one of most important factors for success of IT projects where it is difficult to overcome resistance of change and bring them out of their comfort zone of doing things traditionally. Lucas also added other variables in his model. One of the shortcomings of Lucas model was it talks about alignment of IT with organizations task but does not talk about cost structure. Suppose Oracle ERP is very much aligned to much particular business but the decision to use Oracle should take cost of the software, implementation cost and volume of the business. Grabowski and Lee (1993) consider alignment and balance between organizations strategy, cost structure and IT portfolio. For example, if processes of organization are niche and not standard, they should consider IT systems that are customizable and that support customizations at low cost unlike SAP ERP systems where customizations are not recommended more than 15%. Building on the previous models, Markus and SOH (1993) developed another influential process model that captures the actions of CIOs of different industries implementing IT. This model basically studies how the organizations evaluates the value derived from IT and suggests some more details into the entire journey of getting value from implementing IT systems. They break the IT journey of enterprise into 3 phases: The first phase talks about IT expenditure may or may not become IT assets depending on the IT management. Here the stress is on quality of management. Phase 2 comprised of these IT assets may or may not create the desired IT impact depending on how appropriately they are use. This phase may include user satisfaction and acceptance of IT systems. Phase 3 talks about this impact may or may not lead to organizational performance depending on competition, market dynamics. This model was powerful in a sense that it is very detailed and it was moved away from the earlier models by stressing on that there cannot be necessary and sufficient conditions between IT expenditure and organization performance due to many other factors at every stage of the journey. Beath, Goodhue and Ross (1994) developed model on top of Markus and SOH stating that IT asset consists of human resources, technology and relationships between IT and users. They stated that IT delivers value by impacting 3 critical processes, which are system development, business planning and business operations. They stress on importance of high quality assets as necessary condition for creating value. There is also loop in this model that improvement in any of the 3 business processes would require in quality of IT assets. Sambamurthy and Zmud (1994) uses the term IT impact in place of IT assets in Markus and SOH model or business value in Beath, Goodhue and Ross model. This model argued that raw materials (Knowledge, data, technology) and resource competencies (knowledge of business process owners, knowledge of consultants, experience of consultants with technology) creates IT impacts. Its a variable model in the sense that it stated that higher the competencies, greater will be the IT impact which will create business value. This model does not talk about how increase in IT impact will increase business value. Martinsons (1999) develops model which is customized Balanced scorecard for IS systems. It measures the IS activities based on 4 aspects i.e. user orientation, business value, internal process and future readiness. This model was highly accepted and influential. It is may be because this was customized version of Balanced score card model which is already accepted by the industry. However, there was no discussion on use of this models and details missing for each metrics. This also needs support from stakeholders and implementing it is a big task. There is still research needed in this area as not many models were favorable for implementation from the CIOs point of view. Some models lack financial details, some lack theory though they also seem to converge on some important points and provided valuable insights but following any one of them can be a challenge. Mitra et al (2011) develop model after interviewing CIOs of 23 companies that consists of exhaustive portfolio of IT metrics organized in 9 cells. This model is most practical and powerful till data as this addresses one of the most important concerns of the CIOs that IT metrics should play important role in driving IT conservations. Organization can select subset of cells for implementation. The beauty of this model is that it is very comprehensive that focuses on customer satisfaction, innovations, reliability, cost, compliance and so on. There are various case studies also that demonstrate the practical use of this model and how this model can be implemented in parts. Apart from this, there are many researches that help to identify the key issue in delivering IT business value. Change resistance is one of the big deciding factors in any project. Key users are in their comfort zone and thus resist the new technology, change or new way of doings things. They will make excuses making it difficult of implementers and if change is not managed efficiently by higher management, this resistance will ultimately lead to collapse of the value (Ram, Crokindale, Wu, 2013). Training is also another important factor. Sometimes, due to lack of training, users prefer to do things traditionally. They use worksheets instead of state of art software which defeat the whole purpose of IS. Selection of improper software without considering the requirement initially may lead to collapse. Some software are customizable while some are not. It is very important that appropriate software is selected and experienced consulting company should be engaged (Muller, Jugdev, 2012). Inability to control and define the scope of the project may lead to financial losses and also effect timeline. Conclusion With the advent of IT capturing every aspect of life and latest technology of Digitalization, connected homes, internet of things, there is no doubt that IT will only going to increase in coming days. However, there are always challenges in delivering and measuring IT business value. There are various models developed over a period of time on the same. While many of them have limitations, some are proven very beneficial also for enterprises and documented as case studies. No particular model can be beneficial for all. It is not one size fits all, it is one of its kind and can be developed specific to particular enterprise based on the nature of IT project. CIOs can employ a mix of models, which suits them, or follow a particular model to improve the key metrics associated with IT projects. Many models also converge on importance of having competencies, user interaction, and quality higher management and so on. Each organization should prepare their own IT strategy aligned with their vision and mission statements Also, financial or non financial metrics, both are not complete if considered alone. This is the mistake some models did and the evolution of Value measurement models tells that key performance metrics should be comprehensive comprising of both financial as well as non-financials. Also, there are many common issues and risks that may not be a part of metrics model but prevents IT business value reaching its full potential like change resistance, improper requirements, lack of documentation, lack of knowledge that must be focused on so as to get the true IT business value.

What Are the Great Depression Research Paper Topics?

What Are the Great Depression Research Paper Topics?The Great Depression has been studied in many different forms. From popular books and newspapers to academic papers, television shows and movies, the Great Depression is a subject that appears time and again in any form of media that can be considered. One thing is for sure, if you want to find the Great Depression research paper topics that are available, you need to do some careful research.The Great Depression was a period of great financial instability for most Americans. In addition to that, the American economy experienced tremendous loss of employment and major change in the standard of living. Because of this, the Great Depression research paper topics include how this period affected the labor force and how these factors affected the national economy.The Great Depression research paper topics also include how people reacted to these events. In particular, many people left the country in search of jobs. They traveled through out the world and went from one country to another looking for work. As a result, the Great Depression research paper topics include how a large influx of people and culture affected the United States.Because of this, the Great Depression research paper topics include how these changes affected certain areas of society. For example, because of the tremendous influx of migrants into the United States, many social groups were impacted, including the African-American community. Another way to look at this is that the Great Depression research paper topics include how African-Americans' cultural activities in the United States were affected by this new influx of migrants.There were also economic changes that occurred during the Great Depression that influenced the Great Depression research paper topics. For example, changes in the price of the dollar and the change in the value of the gold standard were major factors in the difficulties of the Great Depression. These changes changed the value of the dollar and this impacted the employment market.Social changes also played a role in the Great Depression. The changes in the status of women had a profound effect on the United States. Women faced some very unique economic circumstances during the Great Depression that had a very strong impact on the types of jobs they could obtain.Finally, the Great Depression also had a strong effect on political life in the United States. The rise of the New Deal led to major changes in the United States, and this included the influence of labor unions. These labor unions provided an important foundation for change, which made it easier for Americans to see the importance of supporting the New Deal.These are just a few examples of the Great Depression research paper topics. While some of these changes may have seemed out of place, there is no denying that they helped set the stage for major changes in American society.

Abused and neglected children almost always come from poor, minority free essay sample

Child abuse has been on the forefront of the public domain and the media. This is because although every body in the society seems to be aware of what child abuse is as well as its consequences, several cases of death are reported every day as a result of child abuse. A number of myths have been conceived in an attempt to explain the group of people who are most venerable to child abuse. In this paper, I give some critical facts, which dismiss the statement that abused and neglected children always come from poor, minority and the inner city families. Child abuse as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States is any action, order or a combination of actions, which are undertaken by a parent or any other person who is responsible for the well being of the child that can harm or amount to harm of the child (MedlinePlus, 2010). We will write a custom essay sample on Abused and neglected children almost always come from poor, minority or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Child abuse takes several forms such as sexual, emotional and physical mistreatment of the child. The definition given above is undoubtedly not restricted to any group of people but comprises of things which although are inhuman when not only done to children but also to the adults, can be done by any body regardless of education level and social economic status in the society (Baskerville, 2006). This definition therefore creates a dove tail for the following points to fit. One of the reasons why the abused and neglected children are perceived always to come from poor, minority and inner city families is because in many a time, the poor and the minority resides in the inner cities where homes are close to each other and are densely populated. Based on this fact and judging by principles of reasoning, one can not fail to see t how easily it is to notice an abused child (Wolfe, 1999). This point is overstressed by the fact that the minority and the poor often lives in open places where children are free to interact and play in open grounds and therefore any abused child or neglected can be easily noticed and the case reported to the concerned authorities.   On the other hand, the majority and the rich live in private apartments where interaction with neighbors is limited or even impossible (Wolfe, 1999).   They have playing grounds within their home stead and therefore socialization and interaction of children is limited to the family members or a few of the neighbors who can be easily manipulated by the offenders especially if they are family members. As a consequence, many child abuse cases go unnoticed but they apparently occur. In my opinion, I am convinced that this is one of the reasons behind this myth and therefore it should be dismissed as wrong. It is believed that many actions which amount to child abuse particularly sexual abuse are carried out by strangers. It is then argued that children of the poor and the minority are much more exposed to the strangers because of their living standards and environment than their counterpart (Buzawa, Buzawa, 2003). But available and reliable information have it that child abuse is more prominent among the nuclear and extended family. The subject in this matter proves beyond any reasonable doubt that if the rich and the majority have families as well as extended families, then they are venerable to child abuse just like the poor and the minority.   In conclusion therefore, the author dismisses the proposed statement that abused and neglected children always come from poor and minority families.
