The division I would make would be prepared in areas that exterior of the jail dividers many inmates would have distant better; a much better; a higher; a stronger; an improved”>a stronger chance at picking up business. Since numerous areas require a criminal foundation c or a few bosses may not want to enlist criminals, educating them on skills in areas where that will not be as enormous of an issue is imperative. This preparation would instruct not only particular preparation, but to center on life aptitudes like self-awareness, problem-solving, critical thinking, and interpersonal aptitudes. The sorts of employment prisoners would be trained on would be plumbing, development, HVAC, overwhelming hardware operation, domestic advancement, and appliance repair. “It might be contended that where life aptitudes are not adequately created, a prisoner’s ability to effectively lock in in instruction or professional programs may be ruined, in this way impacting the future capability to change. It must too be recognized that the significance of life skills stretch past the current center on instruction and professional preparing to more extensive issues of housing, financial bolster, and repairing or building connections, all of which are principal elements of rehabilitation” (Jolley, 2017, p. 2). Another division might offer assistance centered on less physical sort work, that may incorporate information, coding, realistic plans, therapeutic coding, and web plans. The objective is to allow inmates training in ranges where they may still get work indeed as an indicted criminal. A few businesses do not permit indicted criminals to work for them for security reasons, but numerous of these sorts of work might offer the detainee a great chance of picking up business once they are discharged, and if the jail offers a work discharge program, the prisoner may indeed start work earlier to release. Reentry can be a noteworthy challenge for prisoners, particularly if they have been in jail for a long time. “The National Founded of Equity (2017, as cited in Baloch & Jennings, 2018) notes that the issues confronting guilty parties post-release including substance manhandling, the disgrace of incarceration, the need for instruction, mental sicknesses, and being incapable of discovering appropriate employment rapidly ended up overpowering and lead to higher recidivism rates” (Baloch & Jennings,2018, p. 402). On the off chance that detainees have work aptitudes and instruction, they have a distant better; a much better; a higher; a stronger; an improved”>an improved chance at gaining employment and lessening their chance of recidivism. Ephesians 4:28 says, “Let the cheat not take, but or maybe let him labor, doing fair work with his claim hands, so that he may have something to share with anybody in need” (ESV, 2016). Having great work can give more than fair a paycheck, it permits the individual to have goals, they have something to try to do, and they are dependable for something and dependable to someone.

We’ll now work on some more advanced analytic skills with Excel.  This folder contains two files of data.  The data relates to selected crimes that have seen an increase in the Columbia area over a specific time period (1,505 crimes).  The access data file was created by pulling data from the Columbia Crime Reports.    Therefore, it does not contain some of the qualitative data.  You do not have all 1,505 crimes reports in the pdf file titled “Columbia Crime Reports”.  
Your task is to import the Columbia Crime Data Access Database into Excel as a table.  You must use the query function shown in the External Data video from Week 6 to simply focus on one type of crime in the data.  Therefore, your excel file will only have data for one crime type.  The data contains information on Armed Robbery, Burglary/Breaking and Entering, Hijackings, and Shoplifting.  You may not focus on just the Missing Person Report as there is only two in the data.  These may be important to look at for some of the other crimes.  
Your second task is to create at least one pivot table of the data that shows some of the patterns that you have noted in the data.
Use the PDF file of Columbia Crime Reports to conduct some crude text mining to supplement the information that you have found in the Excel File.  
Please attach your excel file with your data and pivot table.  In your submission, detail your findings based on your analysis of the data. 

Your training has moved on to cover current and future projections of white-collar crime as well as available resources.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) notes that major white-collar crime will impact the U.S. economy over the next 5 years. The FBI and other organizations have noted an increasing demand for fraud prevention programs and fraud investigators.
Select 1 white-collar-crime area that is expected to experience an increase in crime over the next several years, and prepare a summary noting the background and reasons for the increase in white-collar crime. Use at least 1 professional or academic-quality source, in addition to the course materials, to complete this assignment.
Be sure to cite all references in APA format.

Review recently published (within the past five years) peer-reviewed scholarly articles located in the AMU/APUS University’s online library databases.  Discuss a criminal justice, intelligence studies, international relations or security management topic requesting instructor approval of the topic you would like for your research proposal (term project) paper. In doing so, please remember for this class you are selecting a topic NOT for writing a research paper about, but rather for writing a proposal to do actual hands-on research using scientific research methodology.
In your discussion post discuss what you have identified in the current peer-reviewed literature located in the APUS Library databases on a topic you wish to research.
Briefly discuss the literature and express what still needs to be researched or requires further research on the topic you would like to address in your research proposal.
In other words, did the authors of the studies already done on this topic you reviewed call for further research on the topic or something to do with the topic? Then again, perhaps you identified a problem that still needs to be researched on the topic where the current literature is lacking.  If so, discuss what it is and how it pertains to the topic and why it needs to be researched and who would benefit from the research.

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
Analyze existing research to identify a problem faced by criminal justice professionals
Evaluate the feasibility of potential solutions to a problem faced by criminal justice professionals
Recommend evidence-informed solutions to a problem faced by criminal justice professionals
Scenario
The U.S. Department of Justice states that funding obtained through a grant can be used in the following ways:
[T]o support law enforcement and public safety activities in state, local, and tribal jurisdictions; to assist victims of crime; to provide training and technical assistance; to conduct research; and to implement programs that improve the criminal, civil, and juvenile justice systems. (2020)
You are a criminal justice professional working in the field and have been asked by your supervisor to write several sections of a grant proposal. The purpose is to address a recent problem in your pillar of criminal justice (law enforcement, courts, or corrections). Specifically, you have been asked to provide background on the problem you identified, identify a contributing factor of that problem, and elaborate on the best solution for the contributing factor. Your research and the solution you offer will benefit your office and the public by influencing needed policy changes.

Just as academic skills are needed to succeed in life, vocational skills are a must for inmates wanting to provide for themselves and their families (Guerrero, 2011). I would provide education classes to women in a prison facility because of the lack of access to women inside and outside of a prison. Women must work ten times harder than a man to get to the next level. Once a woman has children then the support to excel usually isn’t their either, so a woman must put their desires and dreams on hold. Women tend to deal with depression, lack of support, anxiety, and other delays more than some men. Therefore, women that did not have the opportunity or took another path to survive and ended up in prison should be given the chance to learn skills that will allow them to excel when released. The “right kind” of education works to both lower recidivism and reduce the level of violence. Moreover, appropriate education leads to a more humane and tolerable prison environment in which to live and work, not only for the inmates but also for the officers, staff and everyone else (Vacca, 2004). These courses would range from life, to academic, and vocational skills. At each level of courses, an inmate will be able to apply skills learned to their lives and potential job. In a study completed by student teachers and inmates, responses indicated that the women believe the course improves their ability to communicate with others more effectively, express themselves in writing, and increases their knowledge of life span development (Meyer, Harned, Schaad, Sunder, Palmer, & Tinch, 2016). My reasoning for having a variety of course is because basic education will hopefully give inmates are starting chance, but advanced learning and educational courses will give inmates a competitive chance at careers. They should be able to showcase their abilities in challenging courses because it is similar to challenging life choices as well.

The theories you will use for this assignment.
Chapter 2: Deterrence And Rational Choice Theories  
Modern Deterrence Theory 
Rational Choice Theory 
Routine Activities Theory 
There are 3 Steps for completing the assignment.
STEP 1
Read the book chapter and listen to the narrated slides.
STEP 2
Using the following the Crime Solutions Program DatabaseLinks to an external site. of programs, locate 1 program that is based on deterrence or rational choice theories.
Under Keyword Filter type in any of the theories covered in the textbook and slides.  
A list of programs will appear under the search filter box. These are the programs you can choose from. Read the summary to Click on the program Title to read about it.
Under the Program Description there is a section titled Program Theory. Most will have fairly detailed explanations of which theories a program is based on.
STEP 3
Submit the name of the theory  and briefly explain how the program practices align with the theory. I provide an example below. 
Here is an example of a good submission.
(approximately 200 words)
Name of Theory: Routine Activities Theory
Program Selected: Target Hardening in High Crime Areas (this program may not be used for the assignment)
The Routine Activities Theory posits that three elements must converge for a crime to occur: a motivated offender, a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian. This theory emphasizes the importance of understanding individuals’ daily routines and activities to prevent crime effectively. Target Hardening in High Crime Areas aligns with this theory by focusing on enhancing physical security measures within high-crime neighborhoods. By fortifying potential targets through measures such as installing security cameras, improving lighting, and reinforcing locks, the program aims to deter potential offenders and disrupt the routine activities necessary for criminal behavior to occur. This approach addresses the environmental factors outlined in the Routine Activities Theory, aiming to reduce the likelihood of crime in these areas. By making targets less suitable and increasing the presence of capable guardians, such as through community watch programs and increased police patrols, the program seeks to create an environment where criminal opportunities are minimized. This multi-faceted strategy, rooted in the principles of Routine Activities Theory, underscores the significance of environmental design and routine monitoring in effective crime prevention, ultimately fostering safer communities through proactive measures.

reference should be from the last 5 years. Critical infrastructure includes a great many areas of concern and focus. Thinking back to risk and mitigation, these two areas tie directly to critical infrastructure protection, don’t they? Within mitigation, we discussed two ways to mitigate: structural and non-structural efforts. What do you believe is our most vulnerable critical infrastructure (choose any you wish except the border)?
Why do you say this?
How would you enhance security regarding this type of infrastructure?
Remember there are two types of mitigation efforts.
The second part of this discussion deals specifically with border security and immigration policy.
How secure are our borders?
Is it important to secure our borders, and if so, why or why not?
What would you propose to better secure our borders?
