In any form, terrorism sends a message. Terrorists, governments, and the media see the function, roles and responsibilities of the media when covering terrorists’ events from differing and often competing perspectives. Such perspectives drive behavior during terrorist incidents, often resulting in both tactical and strategic gains to the terrorist operation and overall terrorist cause. The challenge to both the governmental and press communities is to understand the dynamics of terrorist enterprise and to develop policy options designed to serve the interests of government, the media, and the society. Terrorists must have publicity in some form if they are to gain attention, inspire fear and respect, and secure favorable understanding of their cause, if not their act.
LHT2 CyberLaw Regs & Compliance Task 4 | RISK ANALYSIS AND CYBERCRIME PREVENTION | [Document subtitle] | | 1. Below is a definition of terms as they relate to the following risk analysis: A. Threat * “Any circumstance or event with the potential to adversely impact organizational operations and assets...” (Ross, 2012). In other words, anything that can exploit a vulnerability thereby causing damage to an asset belonging to Military Contractors Inc. Some examples of a threat could be an attacker looking to get into the network to steal classified data, or a protester group looking to make a cause statement.
The first is corrupted data; data that can be altered and second is lost data; which is self-explanatory. The company should also focus on how to construct their network and how corrupted and lost data should be applied during the planning process by implementing the following prevention, detection, and data correction (Fitzgerald 122). When it comes to data communication noises can play a factor. The company needs to familiarize themselves with the different types of noise that can be cause and the type of circuit, analog or digital that relates to network errors (Fitzgerald 122). Knowing which circuit they will be using will provide them with the type of noise that will play factor and how to correct and improve on it.
This essay explores the variety of expressive crimes that may occur in the workplace, the most common reasons put forward to account for expressive crimes, and how security managers can prevent expressive crimes. It is vital for effective prevention that security managers possess familiarity with a typology of expressive crimes. The security manager should also be familiar theoretical modes for understanding the causation of expressive crimes, along with methods for mitigation and prevention. Expressive crime is not outcome focused but used as a means to express strong negative feelings or reactions against a situation or individual(s). Principal examples of expressive crimes are perceived and actual violence, including physical attack on an individual or their property while carrying out work related activities, vandalism which includes intentional and malicious destruction of or damage to the property of another and arson.
I will use course materials to provide an explanation of how these different types of knowledge can influence how we assess risk. 2. What is risk? Risk is a chance of something happening, where there is a known danger or harm (Carter and Jordan 2009, pg 59). Risk = Potential harm + Possibility of an accident.
This includes actions to take following an incident, who to contact and how soon to respond. The Tylenol Murders case study is an excellent look at how public relations can influence opinions. This paper will review the case study and evaluate the effectiveness of the communication between the Tylenol Company and the public. The paper will identify the different publics involved both internal and external, the impact the communication had on the public and if the message could have been developed more effectively. The paper will also identify the different PR communication tools and techniques used, the risks associated with those tools and identify other available tools.
It must be noted that ‘risk is not a real thing [...] it is a concept, [i.e.] an idea expressed in words’. (K272, Unit 14, p. 34) Steve Morgan from The Sainsbury Centre described risk as “…the likelihood of an identified behaviour occurring in response to changing personal circumstances. The outcomes are more frequently harmful for self or others, though occasionally they may have a beneficial aim in pursuit of a positive change.” (Quoted on Arwtraining website) This description highlights the two vital components of risk. The first is the likelihood of something occurring and the second the nature of the outcome
| | Via Formidonis: The Path of Terror | | DClaborn | 4/16/2011 | Terrorism Investigation In exploring the paths and journeys that lead individuals to collective Terrorist organizations, we find quickly that there are myriad roads that lead to the same end result. The paths taken by multiple terrorists may share similarities, but they are unique and defined by the individual. Recruitment infrastructures are highly refined in many cases; but are sometimes rudimentary as well. Care must be given when trying to create a profile of terrorists and the process by which they became indoctrinated. Identifying the parallels and correlating them is only the beginning in understanding how a person begins the terrorist journey.
There is a constant threat to the United States and its citizens in the form of terrorism. Taking the proper steps is crucial to ensure the Homeland stays protected as well as the people that rightfully live in it. There are still many terrorist organizations that have explicitly spoken and wrote about having their ultimate goal to inflict terrorism on the United States. These organizations are being constantly monitored with professionals and counterterrorism agencies. The National Counterterrorism center is one of the leading agencies in gathering intelligence and reporting on potential terrorism activity.
The concept of surveillance can therefore involve numerous techniques, as will be discussed later within this paper. For the average law abiding citizen the issue of surveillance has different debatable point of views. One argument that can be drawn is whether an individual’s choice of privacy is being stripped with the advancement and placement of surveillance implementations (need to be reworded). Should this choice also be extended to those who commit serious deviant crimes? Offenders who are convicted of sex crimes are often considered some of the most dangerous to society, thus deemed in need of constant monitoring and surveillance when in the community.
