What if your state decided to implement a law that makes it a crime to possess a firearm? What do you think would be the effect on robberies, assaults, and rapes? What would be the effect on possible crime prevention? Weigh the possibility of committing a crime with a firearm against preventing a crime with a firearm. Which one is more likely?

In this interview, Janet Lauritsen, Ph.D., professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of Missouri—St. Louis, explains the survey data collection process, the process for coding the different types of crime reported during the survey interviews, and the special types of crimes that the survey measures, such as series victimization.

Discussion: What methods does the survey use to collect data? How is that different from the UCR? What special types of crimes are included in the NCVS?

A group of students is organizing a bake sale to raise money for their school trip. They plan to sell two types of cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and oatmeal cookies. The number of chocolate chip cookies they plan to bake is represented by the variable ‘c’, and the number of oatmeal cookies is represented by the variable ‘o’. The total cost to bake ‘c’ chocolate chip cookies is given by the expression 0.75c, and the total cost to bake ‘o’ oatmeal cookies is given by the expression 0.50o. If the students plan to bake a total of 100 cookies, write an algebraic expression to represent the total cost of baking all the cookies. Also, determine the total cost if they bake 30 chocolate chip cookies and 70 oatmeal cookies.

If the students plan to bake a total of 100 cookies, write an algebraic expression to represent the total cost of baking all the cookies. Also, determine the total cost if they bake 30 chocolate chip cookies and 70 oatmeal cookies.
 
Hint: To find the total cost, you need to add the cost of baking chocolate chip cookies to the cost of baking oatmeal cookies. If you need a perfect math homework help solution then you can also visit helpinhomework.org

A volcano has erupted in Alaska. It has left a great deal of mud and ash on roads. People in the continental United States are sending you canned food, brooms, gloves, lawn mowers, and heavy equipment. Volunteers have arrived to help. What of these items are useful to you? How can you avoid getting unwanted items? Can the volunteers help you? How would you put them to work?

 
After you have created your new discussion topic, you are required to read and respond to a minimum of two (2) of your classmates discussion topics.  Think of your responses in terms of a contribution to a dialogue, not a writing exercise or a chat room.  Elaborate a single idea and keep your post short but concise as if you were holding a conversation with your classmate(s).   Incorporate what you have learned from the weekly reading material and from your own real-world experiences.  Don’t forget to use proper APA citations and references whenever necessary.

William: Scenario 4: A volcano has erupted in Alaska. It has left a great deal of mud and ash on roads. People in the continental United States are sending you canned food, brooms, gloves, lawn mowers, and heavy equipment. Volunteers have arrived to help. What of these items are useful to you? How can you avoid getting unwanted items? Can the volunteers help you? How would you put them to work? 

 
The items that are being sent that will be useful in this situation are the canned foods, gloves, and heavy equipment. Because of this disaster, people may be in need of food because their homes could have been destroyed in the process of the volcano eruption. Gloves would be useful to have for cleaning up the debris that would be left from the eruption. Finally, heavy equipment would be required to clean up the mud and ash that would be left on the roads. You can avoid getting unwanted items for donation by doing an assessment on what donations you need, and then making the specific items that are needed known to the public. The volunteers can help with the sorting of the donations and help with the clean up efforts.

When a natural disaster strikes, often times communities are not as prepared as they could be or should be. A volcano erupting in Alaska probably caught most citizens off guard and now they need the help of volunteers and sponsors to help out the communities. The first step in avoiding unwanted supplies could be to have the media liaison express to surrounding communities and the media what supplies and help is actually needed to help the suffering community. Of the items listed, brooms and lawn mowers would not be of much help to clean up mud and ash off of the roads. Canned food, gloves, and heavy equipment would be of great need in order to help the community members clean up and to have food. Volunteers can be very beneficial to helping communities after natural disasters. It is very important for members of the local government and incident command team to guide the volunteers and tell them exactly how they can help in the current situation. Volunteers in this scenario could help clean up the mud and ash off of the roads, gather all sent in supplies, and offer any other help to the members of the community that are struggling.
