Your client is a firm with over 500 employees and three offices. The company operates via intranet and has a ?bulletin board? where employees can post ads and share information. For instance, typical posts include invitations to demonstration parties and announcements of tag sales or items for sale. Lately, there have been posts of ethnically derogatory material posted anonymously. The client corporation has asked you to determine the source of the derogatory posts. But the client wants answers to the following questions before they hand over the task to you:

Analyze and explain what ways should be adopted to identify the perpetrator.
Compile a list of available resources for identifying the perpetrator. Analyze which hardware and software can be used for the same. How will you justify your choice to your client?
Analyze and explain which process should be adopted for achieving the desired objectives.
Suppose you were asked to ?get into? the computer of the person sending derogatory mail, analyze whether it is ethical.

Propose 2 strategies for dealing with law enforcement subculture and racial profiling. One strategy is to be from an ethical perspective and the other should be in terms of keeping societal opinion from making significant changes in the functioning of systems and society as a whole.

A recent event has caused uproar in demands for law enforcement to be attentive to activities that could lead to terrorism or gang activity. Race has been a source of controversy because of the stereotypes and labels put on individuals from certain races and religious backgrounds.

Opinions about issues in society are often the catalyst for the foundations of social change. The combined opinions of all individuals determine society?s position on an issue. Because criminal justice professionals have a first-hand view of the individuals who will be affected by the change, it is particularly crucial that they develop and advocate a position on an issue.

Using the library, Internet, or any other available material for adequate, accurate, and relevant support, address your position on the controversial issue. Propose 2 strategies for dealing with law enforcement subculture and racial profiling. One strategy is to be from an ethical perspective and the other should be in terms of keeping societal opinion from making significant changes in the functioning of systems and society as a whole.

cyber crime and security discussion

1) Cybercrime is a growing global problem, but some nations are much more advanced in their approaches to combating it than others. The availability of technology, the sophistication of legislation, and the knowledge and apathy levels of a country?s citizenry can all greatly affect a nation?s ability to deter, detect, investigate, and prosecute cyber criminals. What, in your opinion, are strategies that you believe would increase your nation?s ability to deal with cybercrime on an international, instead of just domestic, level? How should more technologically advanced nations deal with crime originating from less technologically advanced countries, and vice versa? Discuss thoroughly.

2) In the United States, those that investigate and attempt to prosecute cyber criminals are well acquainted with the tendency of the courts to view cybercrime as a less serious, white-collar offense, typically resulting in very light sentences. Why do you think that is? Do you agree with this trend, or do you think courts should reassess the seriousness of cyber offenses in the 21st Century? Whatever your opinion, discuss and support your answer.
