How do the different levels of the criminal justice system (federal, state and local) interface to accomplish these “street level enforcement” objectives?

Description

There are four major activities in drug law enforcement: Source Control – activities targeting cultivation, manufacturing and production of controlled dangerous substances in foreign countries Interdiction – preventing the successful smuggling of controlled dangerous substances into the United States. This focuses on the smuggling methods of sea, air and land which includes aircraft, vessels, personnel (body carry, swallowing) and parcel shipments among others. Street-level enforcement – undercover and informant driven investigations targeting the retail sales level of drug trafficking. The text identified the following tactics: Reversals – Undercover operations where law enforcement poses as drug traffickers Controlled buy – Undercover operations where confidential informants are used to may purchases of contraband under the direct supervision and direction of a law enforcement investigator Undercover buy – Direct purchase of controlled dangerous substances by the undercover officer from the target Knock and Talk – overt investigational tactic where fully identified law enforcement makes contact with individuals at a location, usually a residence, and consent to search the residence is obtained Correctional system – this could also be described as prosecution or courts. Once the defendants are in the correctional system, they have been convicted. The federal penalties for drug trafficking are often times much higher at the federal level as opposed to the state. Also, the effectiveness of federal prosecutions is usually much higher in the areas with the drug trafficking activity. These areas of drug enforcement are all challenging and important tactics in the criminal justice approach to the drug issue. Of the four tactics: source control, interdiction and corrections occur primarily in the federal arena (although some state jurisdictions can effectively prosecute cases, federal prosecutions are much more effective). For members of the community, drug enforcement means the buy-busts (controlled and undercover operations), search warrants and reversals that provide the greatest impact to our quality of life. For this discussion question, please address the following: How do the different levels of the criminal justice system (federal, state and local) interface to accomplish these “street level enforcement” objectives? Give examples of how this would work and please search the library database, internet NEWS sources or web sites for criminal justice agencies (hint: DEA is a good one!) to provide examples to support your position. Be sure to cite your sources.

identify each of the segments of the client market including donor demographics and list each of them. You will specify how your organization plans to reach each target audience group identified.

Description

For this Assignment, you will present a marketing plan for a nonprofit organization. Your presentation should consist of 10–15 slides (including introduction and references slides). You will include each of the six components of a marketing plan as outlined in this chapter. You can use a fictional or non- fictional organization in your community. If you create a fictional organization, you can choose what population is being served and what services are offered. You will use the following headings of elements for each target population identified.

Target Market

To develop an effective marketing plan for an organization, it is first necessary to identify the target markets. If you serve only one very specific population, then the task of segmenting the client market would not be that difficult, but many organizations provide multiple program services for a variety of populations. The first task then is to identify each of the segments of the client market including donor demographics and list each of them. You will specify how your organization plans to reach each target audience group identified.

 

Generate at least two potential decisions and the potential consequences of those decisions

Description

Ethical Standards for Human Service Leaders Review the Association of Fundraising Professionals Code of Ethics and National Organization for Human Services Ethical Standards listed in the readings. After reviewing the two ethical standards, consider the following scenario and use the steps in the “Model of Ethical Decision Making” presented in Chapter 2 in your text to describe how you would deal with the ethical dilemma. You are working as an administrator for an alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD) prevention program for at-risk youth. Your program public funding grant was not renewed and you might need to lay off necessary employees or discontinue the program if you are not able to obtain funding soon. An American tobacco company has offered your organization a generous contribution of $200,000 along with an in-kind donation worth $50,000 in material with the agreement that you will allow the company to share the information about their contribution in order to promote a more positive image of the tobacco industry. Your company would also have to agree to use their printed prevention program material. Their printed material clearly credits Philip Morris (billion dollar tobacco industry) for funding the program and the material downplays the health risks of tobacco and promotes choosing to smoke after you have reached legal age. One of your organization’s guiding principles is to advance the health, safety, wellness, and stability of at-risk youth, their families, and communities. In your post, make sure to include: The nature of the dilemma (apply code of ethics that apply if applicable) Generate at least two potential decisions and the potential consequences of those decisions Choose your course of action and evaluate it

‘Within the TCFD framework, climate risk is seen through the eyes of investors and financial institutions — that is, how will their loans and investments fare in a world of climate-related disruptions? The framework’s stated goal is “to price risk to support informed, efficient capital-allocation decisions.” What factors might businesses take into account in doing this?

Activity 3: Analysing a media article on climate risk

Materials: Joel Makower (2020) What does ‘climate risk’ actually mean. Greenbiz

Before you start:

  • What does ‘risk’ mean to you?

 

  • What sorts of response might you have if you are told there is a risk in some activity you wanted to undertake?

 

Now consider the Makower (2020) article:

Question Your response
In discussing a sudden business interest in ‘climate risk’, Makower ask:

‘Why now? There’s no single precipitating factor’.

Instead, what does he think the trigger for this interest is?

 

 
What does Makower say ‘risk’ means for individuals?

 

 
And what does it mean for business?

 

 
Given this meaning for business, Makower goes on to say:

‘Therefore, in business, risks are not something to be avoided but something to be managed: You want to…’ what?

 

 
Makower goes on to state

‘Within the TCFD framework, climate risk is seen through the eyes of investors and financial institutions — that is, how will their loans and investments fare in a world of climate-related disruptions? The framework’s stated goal is “to price risk to support informed, efficient capital-allocation decisions.”

What factors might businesses take into account in doing this?

 

 

 

 
Later in the article, Makower notes:

‘In theory, companies might make different business decisions to avoid those risks.

But not necessarily: They could decide to incorporate those risks into investment or operational decisions in order to maintain business as usual. So long as a company discloses those risks, investors may be satisfied.’

 

Given the theory we have discussed so far, how could a business do this?

 

 

 
Makower concludes his article by saying:

‘Disclosure is good: Sunlight is the best disinfectant, as the saying goes. But without actually addressing what’s causing the infection in the first place, the patient’s prognosis may be doomed.’

What do you think he means by this?

 

 

 

What is the ‘two-way’ street model?

The two way-street

One of the readings (Patterson et al., 2003) and a brief presentation have been offered around this concept. Patterson et al. (2003) are speaking about ‘tourism’ as an industry sector, but the model can be applied more broadly to business.

Review these and answer the following questions.

Question Your response
What is the ‘two-way’ street model?

 

 

What climate change response do the authors suggest is implied by business’s impact on climate change?
What climate change response do the authors suggest is implied by climate change’s impacts on business?
Of these two responses, which is likely to be the ‘easiest’ for the business you considered in your Formative Reflection (Assignment 2)? Name of the business:
Why?

(Hint: what are you implying by ‘easiest’?)
