response to a discussion 150 words

“Based on its name you might think that the Statute of Frauds has something to do with criminal or civil fraud, but it doesn’t. The name “Statute of Frauds” actually refers to a law passed by the British Parliament in 1677, and the name has been retained through the centuries. It specifies which kinds of contracts must be in writing in order to be enforceable. Its purpose is to prevent the enforcement of oral agreements through perjury.

The most common applications of the Statute of Frauds in Virginia are as follows:

  • Holding a person responsible for the promise to pay the debt of another
  • Contracts for the sale of real estate
  • Leases for real estate over 1 year
  • Agreements which cannot be performed within 1 year
  • Agreement to lend more than $25,000

While the Statute requires a written agreement, almost any writing sufficient to indicate some kind of agreement between the parties may suffice.However, the “writing” must be signed by the party who is being charged. Thus, the venerable Statute of Frauds is still an important and influential part of modern law.” (Gross and Romanick, PC, Fairfax, Virginia – https://gross.com/virginia-statute-of-frauds/)

I believe that they made two key statements that apply to this discussion.  First the statement that “the Statute requires a written agreement, almost any writing sufficient to indicate some kind of agreement between the parties may suffice.”  And second, they state that “the ‘writing’ must be signed by the party who is being charged.”  I think this explains clearly why an electronic signature has become as binding as a physically signed document.  If you are asking my personal opinion, I would respond that it has developed out of both a valid necessity of meeting the requirements of the Statute of Frauds and an attempt to meet the ever evolving need to accommodate the digital age.

Write 150 or more words response to red questions below in paragraph form. Need to cite and reference to support answer given.

 

Response to Orginal Post:

 

HI!

 

Thanks for hopping on board and I like how you mentioned that not all issues are solved by the case manager. We will find issues in case management in one environment or the other. What exists as an issue in the community may not necessarily be an issue within the prison system (housing, food, employment, paying for services, etc) and what issues exist in the prison may  not always also be found in the community. And….. we often come across issues that exist in both settings such as availability of services. There are some communities where services are very few or just don’t exist at all. Roberts discusses the risk level of the neighborhood with us when it comes to treatment resources being available to offenders.

 

Does your jurisdiction have a large number of resources? Do people have to turn to the neighboring jurisdiction that might be a town or city that has more? When clients face this, what are some of the secondary issues that come with when resources are at a greater distance? Or what about local crime rates and availability of things like drugs, etc. Would this environment be of any concern to a case manager? How can we address it, if at all?

 

Orginal Post:

 

Response to Professor,

 

There are issues in case management. The task involving the continuous provision of services to the prisoners who are returning to the community is often challenging. There is the concept of recidivism that the case managers have to ensure that they anticipate and put measures that can help reduce the occurrence of the same (Day et al., 2012). Limited financial resources for the inmates who have been released is an aspect the case managers finds challenging to handle. Referring the inmates to the community service providers hence becomes difficult as a result of those financial constraints. This is because of their possible in the ability to pay for the services of the community service provider they are referred to. The other challenge is the limitation of technology in the prisons. Even if these issues are found, they will still exist in the community. This is because not all of them will be solved by the case manager.

CRJ 331 Case Study 5: Stephen Collins

/in /by

According to recent media reports, both the NYPD and the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department are currently investigating Stephen Collins, an actor most well-known for his role on the T.V. show 7th Heaven, for alleged taped confessions in which he admits to inappropriate conduct with three (3) minors. This information came to light during divorce proceedings of Collins from his estranged wife. In this case study, you will explore the role of the forensic psychologist and its application to a real world situation. You will also look at the ethical dilemmas a mental health professional can face when dealing with the legal system.

Review the following articles regarding the Stephen Collins case:

Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

  1. Determine whether or not the release of the taped therapy sessions violates the American Psychological Association’s Code of Ethics (refer to Table 12.1 in chapter 12 of the text). Next, discuss the likelihood of a lawsuit against the therapist and the media outlet that released the recording. Provide a rationale to support your position.
  2. Review the roles of the forensic psychologist as outlined in chapter 12 of your text. Next, select one (1) of the roles that you believe a forensic psychologist must play during the trial, if criminal charges against Collins are filed. Ascertain the importance of the role that you selected and suggest the main actions that the forensic psychologist must take in order to play the role that you selected.
  3. Discuss one (1) regulation that you feel the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) should make regarding the practice of recording patient therapy sessions in order to balance protecting the public with protecting patient privacy. Provide a rationale for your response.
  4. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar type Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Assignment: Training for Reactive and Proactive Responses

Law enforcement could be viewed as primarily reactive by its very nature. After all, a police officer cannot concretely predict an actual crime in the future, just as it is impossible to know to where a 911 call will prompt a dispatch. As you have seen in previous courses in this program, however, it is possible to understand causes of crime and identify ways to minimize those causes, thereby decreasing the occurrence of crime.

Although reactive methods are often entirely appropriate, it is also possible to take proactive approaches to law enforcement in general, promoting circumstances that foster citizen engagement and decrease the conditions for crime. In the same way that reactive methods for handling crime can be taught, so can proactive methods. In this Assignment, you envision the training that takes both these methods into account.

To prepare:

  • Imagine that you are the training officer for a class of new recruits. Your task is to create training materials.

By Day 7

Create training materials that detail how to apply reactive policing and proactive policing. Your training materials should consist of a 10 slide PowerPoint presentation. For these materials, you must include the following:

  • Create a plausible criminal justice scenario in which reactive policing would or could be applied effectively.
  • Write three questions that you could ask students that would help them apply the concept of a reactive approach.
    • Write your questions so that they are specific enough to focus your audience, relevant, and open-ended enough to prompt potential discussion (e.g., they cannot be answered with only a “yes” or “no” response). For example, reflect on the difference between these two questions:
      • How would you deescalate a situation in which your dog chewed and ruined your favorite shoes? (Prompts the listener to apply learning.)
      • Would you put your dog outside temporarily to deescalate a situation in which your dog chewed and ruined your favorite shoes? (Allows the listener to answer with a “yes” or “no.”)
  • Write answers to your reactive questions and include them in the presentation. The answers should reflect analysis and application of a reactive approach to the scenario.
  • Create a plausible criminal justice scenario in which proactive policing would or could be applied effectively.
    • Follow the same question-writing guidelines as above.
  • Write three questions that you could ask students that would help them apply the concept of a proactive approach.
  • Write answers to your proactive questions and include them in the presentation. The answers should reflect analysis and application of a proactive approach to the scenario.

·         Apply the core concepts understood in the theories of victimization to real life criminal cases and scenarios.

·         Use technology and information resources to research victimization theories and criminal cases.

·         Write clearly and concisely about criminal justice using proper writing mechanics and APA style conventions.

Note: This chart is just an example. Please use the Chart Template here to complete your assignment.

Victimization Theory

Summarize the theory of victimization, describing its meaning and core concepts as it relates to the nature of crime.

Identify subcategories of the theory and describe each. 

Apply the theory to one (1) real life example or scenario.  Briefly explain why the theory applies to the example you identified.

Rational Choice Theory

(This theory is completed for you as an example of how to complete the remaining theories)

According to this theory, crime is a matter of personal choice and the criminal makes a rational decision to commit the crime.

This view is that If a person is motivated, considers the choices, and they believe crime will benefit them without risk. (Siegel & Worrall, 2013, p. 45)

This view is that for the criminal, the profit outweighs the punishment.

One sub-category is the “Deterrence Theory” which aligns itself by indicating crime would not be a “rational choice” therefore not chosen if there was a strong enough fear of punishment, acting to deter the criminal activity. (Akers, 1990, p.2)

One real life case was that of Ariel Castro. This is the nationally televised case of a man who kidnapped and held three (3) women captive in his Cleveland, Ohio home for over 10 years, during which he physically and sexually assaulted, fathered a child and kept these young women captive until one managed to escape  2013. Castro pleaded guilty to 937 counts including murder, rape, and abduction, to avoid Ohio’s death penalty. He was sentenced to life in prison without parole + 1,000 years by Judge Russo, Cuyahoga County, Cleveland where the crimes were committed. After being in prison only 30 days in Franklin County, Castro hung himself in his prison cell, ending his own life. I believe it relates to rational choice theory, Castro made a calculated choice to kidnap the missing teens and commit these crimes for over a decade, while working and interacting in the community. His motivation for the benefit of committing these crimes over a decade was stronger than fear of getting punished.

Requirements For A Contract

/in /by

Please answer, in great detail:

a)  Brockwell left his boat to be repaired at Lake Gaston Sales.  The boat contained electronic equipment and other personal items.  Borckwell signed a form stating that Lake Gaston had “no responsibility for any loss to any property in or on the boat.”  Brockwell’s electronic equipment was stolen and other personal items were damaged, and he sued.  Is the exculpatory clause enforceable?

b)  Guyan Machinery, a West Virginia manufacturing corporation, hired Albert Voorhess as a salesman and required him to sign a contract stating that if he left Guyan, he would not work for a competing corporation anywhere within 250 miles of West Virginia for a two-year period.  Later, Vorhees left Guyan and began working at Polydeck Corp., another West Virginia manufacturer.  The only product Polydeck made was urethane screens, which comprised half of 1% of Guyan’s business.  Is Guyan entitled to enforce its noncompete clause?  Should these type of clauses even be allowed?  What about for doctors?  Dentists?  Lawyers?

c)  The McAllisters had several serious problems with their house, including leaks in the ceiling, a buckling wall, and dampness throughout.  They repaired the buckling wall by installing I-beams to support it.  They never resolved the leaks and the dampness.  When they decided to sell the house, they said nothing to prospective buyers about the problems.  They stated that the I-beams had been added for reinforcement.  The Silvas bought the house for $60,000.  Soon afterward, they bagan to have problems with leaks, mildew, and dampness.  Are the Silvas entitled to any money damages?  Why or why not?

d)  Lonnie Hippen moved to Quahog, Rhode Island, to work at an insurance company owned by Peter Griffin.  After he moved there, Peter offered to sell Lonnie a house he owned and Lonnie agreed in writing to buy it.  Lonnie did, in fact, buy the house and move in, but two years later, he left the insurance company (because of the economy and those “malicious and dastardly plaintiffs’ lawyers”).  He then claimed that at the time of the sale, Peter had orally promised to buy back the house at the selling price if Hippen should happen to leave the company.  Peter defended based on the statute of frauds.  Hippen argued that the statute of frauds did not apply because the repurchase of the house was essentially part of his employment with Peter.  Who is correct in this situation and why?

REPLY TO CLASSMATE’S POST

Do some research on hackers, pick a specific hacker, and profile this person. Under which classification of hackers would this person fall, and why?
You may not choose the same person as another classmate. If you choose the same person as a fellow classmate, you will receive a zero for this assignment. First in time, first in right.

PLEASE REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS)

                                          CLASSMATE’S POST

Reading is fundamental and knowledge is power. As I began reading this week’s assignment, my open-mindedness led me into a place of understanding more about world of hacking.  In the book for the class, a mention of “2600: The Hacker Quarterly”, caught my attention as this is the first time knowing about the periodical. 

White hat hackers garnered my attention, more than gray or black hat hackers.  To me, before reading the book, ethical and hacker did not belong together in a positive metric.  According to Taylor, Fritsch, & Liederbach (2015), “White hat” is a term used to describe an ethical hacker”. The term “white hat was needed because so many former or reformed hackers entered the computer security field” (p.78).  Law enforcement, media, and the publics’ view of hacker are different than a hacker, due to mindset and intention of the “hacker”. 

Kevin David Mitnick is a “white hat” hacker, and computer security consultant (and business owner), and author.  According to (Browder, 2018), “Mitnick started his hacking career as teen when he used social engineering and dumpster diving  to bypass the punch cared system use in the Los Angeles bus system”.  Mitnick was charged with 14 counts of wire fraud, to include: possession of unauthorized access services and a federal computer, in 1995, twenty three years ago.  In 1999, Mitnick plead guilty to four counts of wire fraud, two counts of computer fraud and one count of illegally intercepting wire communication. Mitnick served 46 months in prison.  

Upon release from prison, Mitnick was initially forbidden to use any communication technology. Mitnick fought the decision in court and winning a ruling in his favor, allowing him to use the internet. The ‘white hat” hackers describes Mitnick perfectly. 

Currently Mitnick has a owner and operator of, Mitnick Security Consulting, LLC. More information about the white hat hacker can be found on his website: mitnicksecurity.com
