Define and examine both factual and legal defenses to cybercrime allegations.

 Defenses to Cyber Crime Allegations

Prior to beginning work on this discussion read the Brenner, Carrier, & Henninger (2004), and Hernacki (2012) articles. Review the instructions and research a minimum of one additional scholarly source to support your work.Traditional notions of due process, legal defense, and fairness apply to cyber crimes just as they apply to any other notion of more traditional criminal allegations. Throughout your readings this week you have learned that there are two fertile areas for a defense to a cyber crime allegation: factual and legal. A factual defense can easily be summed up by the inimitable legal scholar, Mr. Bart Simpson, of the long-running animated television series, The Simpsons. Bart routinely asserts the factual defenses to allegations of wrong doing as, “I didn’t do it; nobody saw me do it; there’s no way they can prove anything.” These are all valid and somewhat comprehensive definitions of a factual defense. A legal defense, on the other hand, deals with the government’s inability to overcome a defense based on the law in areas such as jurisdiction, vagueness of the law(s), double jeopardy, statutes of limitation, etc. Include the following elements in your 400 word initial post:

  • Define and examine both factual and legal defenses to cybercrime allegations.
    • Your examination must include at least one scholarly source beyond this week’s required readings.
  • Explain which of these two types of defense is the most likely to prevail in the greatest number of cyber crime cases and provide a rationale for your choice.
  • Evaluate ways in which future laws can limit defenses to cyber crime allegations.

Keeping in mind your unit readings on deviancy, how do these programs confirm or negate the larger societal messages about deviant behavior?

Media, Socialization, and Deviancy

Technology provides socialization that influences how we, as a society, view deviancy. In this unit, take the time to view some source of programming through technology. Examples may include television, Twitter, Facebook, new feeds, et cetera. For this discussion, view at least two programs and state:

· The source and names of the programs.

· Your perception of the social message of the programs, with examples.

Keeping in mind your unit readings on deviancy, how do these programs confirm or negate the larger societal messages about deviant behavior?

In your post, critique your activities and thoughts. Be sure to address the concept of deviancy (whether you think the activities support or dismantle deviancy).

Has this shift in reimbursement strategy been successful? Why or why not?

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

  • The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a new approach to reimbursement starting in 2011 called value-based purchasing. The goal was to reduce the amount of CMS payments overall and to tie patient satisfaction and quality goals to reimbursement. Has this shift in reimbursement strategy been successful? Why or why not?
  • Health care organizations must opt in to accept payment from Medicare and Medicaid, and payment from private insurance companies usually requires a negotiated contract, with reduced reimbursement rates. What is the reimbursement strategy for your organization? If this information isn’t available to you, research and explain 2 different reimbursement strategies.
