Brief Description of Company, Industry, and Competitive Environment: American Bank Note Corporation (ABN) was founded in 1795 as a business that created official bank notes, stamps, checks, and other documents for the U.S. government, state governments, foreign governments, and businesses. ABN was the original printer of U.S. currency and was the largest printer of currency and secure documents in the world for many years. Eventually, the government began to print their own currency and did not need private printers anymore. Soon ABN began to create additional products such as: stock certificates, government documents, and American Express travelers’ checks. ABN used an independent auditor to keep its books.
With increasing instances of police brutality, the public was coming to view police officers as adversaries to be looked upon with suspicion and loathing, rather than as trusted friends and partners in keeping the community safe. When the public looks upon its police officers in this manner, it is actually more difficult for those police officers to do their jobs, as the public will not be very forthcoming with information about crimes being committed in the area and will be reluctant to contact the police at all when problems arise, as they will feel that the police will not care enough to handle the situation well. Of course, those who oppose community-oriented policing say that such programs have made the police too soft to properly carry out their duties (Fielding, 1995). However, in communities where community-oriented policing has gone into effect, the results have been resoundingly positive and the reactions of the public have been genuinely good; there is almost a sense of people being relieved to have police officers in their communities whom they can consider
Gridlock occurs when the branches of government scrutinise each other’s action to such a point where neither can pass any form of legislation, and the government therefore becomes less able to perform its duties, therefore leading to a less effective government. For example during Obamas presidency he had struggled with the majority of republican opposition in congress, and therefore had trouble to pass any major legislation such as immigration reform, jobs bill, gun control initiatives and etc. On the other hand, others may argue that the government is not ineffective because of the constitution as the checks and balances system do in fact work, as a way to prevent an overly centralised and powerful form of government, which may not stay accountable to the people as much as it does to large corporations who fund them for re-elections and etc.
c) I don’t believe my organization complies with all of the requirements because I don’t work so this does not apply. d) No one is responsible in my organization to make sure these compliance laws are met because once again I do not work so this does not apply. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA): a) It is important because it helps everyone out in a time of need and also keeps personal information safe from the public unless authorized. b) It impacts your IT environment because it lets everyone know what is supposed to be private or what how they are protected in a time of need. c) I don’t believe my organization complies with all of the requirements because I don’t work so this does not apply.
When law enforcement is not present in a community it gives the people in the community the thought that law enforcement does not care what happens to the people in their community. The people in the community that obey the law and are not committing crimes start to develop a sense that their community is not safe because law enforcement is not enforcing the law. Then the people that are involved in criminal activity in the community are able to take over the community because law enforcement does not have a regular presence in the community. In most areas like this when people that live in the community have a problem and they call law enforcement it takes long periods of time for them to get there to solve the problem. A lot of times by the time law enforcement arrive in these areas the perpetrator has already gotten away or the civilian has already taken matters into their own
Positive Effects of a Lower Drinking Age in America Arguments about the United States drinking age are commonly discussed. The law is thought of by some as a great way to keep young adults out of trouble, but by others it is thought to be an unsuccessful law that has only brought harm to many young adults. Not enough people are taking action in changing the drinking age to eighteen, which may be because Americans feel it is not necessary or because American citizens have not thought into full detail about all of the positive effects a lower drinking age could have. The United States Federal Government believes that citizens under twenty one years of age are not fully developed and consuming alcohol can harm their development, but America has the highest drinking age in the world. Other countries with low drinking ages do not have major health problems concerning alcohol and their young adults, thus proving alcohol is not necessarily unhealthy for developing young adults.
There was simply no record of Emily paying her taxes. Emily said that she doesn't have any taxes in Jefferson and continuously repeated that, and wouldn't let the man explain to her what was going on. She got frustrated and eventually asked Tobe to escort them out. The sheriff does not know how to handle a mind like Emily's. The sheriff does not know how to speak to Emily obviously in a sense where she would understand, if that is even possible.
Although most gangs are viewed as a kind of plague to society, some of them don’t see themselves that way. There are many that actually try and give back to their community in positive way but the problem is that the bad outweighs the good in everyone else’s mind. There is a large lack of social skills with gang members because they don’t know how to interact with people outside of their gang and get a positive reaction. Most people outside of their gang are not going to understand why they act the way they act, or do the things they do so there is going to be a communication barrier there. If the members of gangs were more understood in society then they probably wouldn’t be in one to begin with.
The argument is that police are too involved in the legal aspects of collecting evidence, while intelligence agents are too uninvolved. There is also concern in the area of relinquishing control and sharing information. Non-criminal information would need to be released to state and local police officers that may or may not have the training necessary to allow them to analyze and use the data. Not all intelligence agencies are willing to hand this information over. At the same time, police are not always willing to accept help or give up jurisdiction to federal agents like the FBI or CIA.
Private security agencies must constantly be promoting themselves by proving the local police, and even direct competitors cannot provide the same level of protection or services. The public police force feels they have jurisdiction and the private company is just getting in the way. Often the public security feels the private security firms lack the experience and standard procedures in place to handle emergency situations. Public officers would prefer to see the private security officer to sit in a guard shack and to call the police if they observe something out of the ordinary. Many companies and individuals pay a lot of money for security, and in many cases they this only provides a false sense of security.
