Describe of the risk each vulnerability or threat would have on the organization in terms of its people, network, data, or reputation. 

  • Consider the potential vulnerabilities or threats facing the organization.
  • Describe of the risk each vulnerability or threat would have on the organization in terms of its people, network, data, or reputation.
  • Explain each risk’s impact on the organization.
  • Provide a defined mitigation for each vulnerability, such as an incident response plan, disaster recovery plan, or business continuity plan. Give a defined reason why a vulnerability or threat would not be mitigated, such as the use of a different risk control strategy, if appropriate.

Compare the 2015 crime data from your home area to the overall rates for the United States.

  • Compare the 2015 crime data from your home area to the overall rates for the United States. For instance, how does the murder rate in your area compare to the overall US rate of 4.9 murders per 100,000 residents? How does your home area compare with the rest of the country in terms of overall violent crime and property crime?
  • Choose any two specific crimes that seem to be more common or less common in your area than the rest of the country. Define those crimes and explain why you believe the results are the way they are. For instance, if your area has a high incidence of auto theft, why do you think that is the case?

Part 2

Earlier this week, you examined a list of questions that illustrated the types of studies that criminologists conduct. Choose one of the questions listed or create your own. Then include the following in your post:

  • State the question you have chosen or created.
  • Describe how you think a criminologist would go about finding the answer to the question.
  • State what you expect a criminologist would find and explain why you expect this answer.

Do the benefits of having such controls outweigh the ethical costs?

Here’s an interesting thought exercise regarding drug testing and curfews as controls of delinquent behavior: Suppose a county decided that all students who attended public school would be drug tested at random. Additionally, the county sheriff’s department puts an 11 p.m. curfew into effect, threatening to arrest anyone under age 18 who is out after that time. Do you think this would reduce crime among juveniles? What are the ethical drawbacks to these types of direct control? Do the benefits of having such controls outweigh the ethical costs? What are the alternatives?
