Levels of Decision Making: Qualitative versus Quantitative

Question Description

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 1 in your textbook, the Spencer (2013) and MacKenzie (2000) articles, and view the Ferguson Police Testing New, Less Lethal Gun Technology (Links to an external site.) and Budget Cuts Put State Prison Staffs at Critically Low Levels (Links to an external site.) videos.

The numerous issues that arise in large organizations regarding decision making can be difficult to properly grasp. There are those leaders who base their conclusions solely on empirical data, preferring to engage in a more quantitative decision-making process. Conversely, there are supervisors who approach decision making from a more holistic perspective, engaging in more qualitative thought processes. It is a reality, especially in budgeting and issues affecting criminal justice agencies, that quantitative decision making takes precedent. However, better conclusions are often drawn when qualitative aspects of a problem or issue are also considered.

Based on information from the required sources, compare and contrast the differences between quantitative and qualitative decision making in public finance. Based on the required videos, provide at least two quantitative and qualitative observations.

In addition to noting the differences between quantitative and qualitative observations, respond to the following elements:

  • Explain which basic method of decision making you feel provides the most accurate information for budget management; quantitative or qualitative.
  • Analyze both qualitative and quantitative-based budgetary decision making and describe your preference between the two provided you were in a position of power. Provide a rationale for your preference.
  • Explain the potential benefits of quantitative observations.
  • Explain the potential benefits of qualitative observations.

Your initial post should be at least 400 words in length

What is a cyber criminal? 400-600 words

Question Description

Research the personality profile of a typical cybercriminal. Then, respond to the following in discussion:

  • Provide some details about your findings.
  • What are some of the specific sort of crimes that cyber criminals commit?
  • Formulate a policy over what society should do about cyber criminals who operate from foreign countries with whom the United States either lacks an extradition treaty, or from countries that are hostile to the United States.

Additional Resources

  • Urgent Actions Are Needed to Address Cybersecurity Challenges Facing the Nation
    • The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has identified four major cybersecurity challenges and 10 critical actions that the federal government and other entities need to take to address them. GAO continues to designate information security as a government-wide high-risk area due to increasing cyber-based threats and the persistent nature of security vulnerabilities.
  • Cybercrime: What the FBI Investigates
    • The FBI is the lead federal agency for investigating cyber attacks by criminals, overseas adversaries, and terrorists. The threat is incredibly serious—and growing. Cyber intrusions are becoming more commonplace, more dangerous, and more sophisticated. Our nation’s critical infrastructure, including both private and public sector networks, are targeted by adversaries. American companies are targeted for trade secrets and other sensitive corporate data, and universities for their cutting-edge research and development. Citizens are targeted by fraudsters and identity thieves, and children are targeted by online predators. Just as the FBI transformed itself to better address the terrorist threat after the 9/11 attacks, it is undertaking a similar transformation to address the pervasive and evolving cyber threat. This means enhancing the Cyber Division’s investigative capacity to sharpen its focus on intrusions into government and private computer networks.

Two discussions

Question Description

I have 2 discussions 250 word each for an Administration of Justice class that i need help with.

1. What role, if any, does casino gambling have on improving the lives of Native Americans? Is it really a solution to the problems relating to poverty and unemployment that is characteristic of Native Americans?

Tell us a little about the speaker in this video, Aaron Huey. Who is he and what makes him an “expert” on this particular Native American tribe?

Why does he refer to Native Americans as “Prisoners of War?”

What did you learn from Mr. Huey?

What did you find the most shocking?

Does this video give you hope for the American people, why or why not?

Why do you believe that some Native Americans are living like the ones in this video? What can be done to improve their lives?

  • Provide at least 1 specific example of how national identity cards are used.
  • How would it be possible (or would it be impossible?) to safeguard the information that is contained on a high-tech national identity card? Discuss whether or not personal information, such as medical records, criminal history, or mental health problems should be encoded on such cards.
  • What are the proposed advantages of a national identification card?
  • What are some of the possible disadvantages of a national identification card?
  • If a system of national identification cards had been in place prior to September 11, 2001, could it have prevented the terrorist attacks?

Need Help on this

Question Description

Our favorite paralegal, Willy Understand, has to research a case involving respondeat superior, which translates as “let the master answer” and refers to a legal doctrine in which an employer may be held responsible for the actions of his employees, when the actions are performed “in the course of employment.” In order for respondeat superior to apply, there must be a clear employee-employer relationship established, as the principle does not apply to actions by an independent contractor. This is a standard and quite common business law concept. Read the fact pattern for this assignment located in the Course Documents and then help Willy sort out the legal issues by answering the following questions. Make sure to include at least two references in your paper. They can be either in-text or end-references.

Question Description

You are an immigration attorney and a client named Mary walks into your office with a newly-received Notice to Appeal (NTA) in her hand. The NTA charges her as being present in the U.S. without admission or parole under INA section 212(a)(6)(A)(i).

After speaking with Mary, you learn she entered the U.S. without authorization just 3 months ago. She ended up in removal proceedings because she happened to be at a friend’s house when ICE arrived looking to take her friend into custody. During the incidental encounter, ICE discovered Mary had no lawful status and issued her an NTA.

You also learn Mary is married to a U.S. citizen, and that the couple lives together and has co-mingled their assets and other aspects of their lives. Mary’s husband previously filed an I-130 petition on her behalf, which was approved. Mary has no other immigration applications or petitions pending. Mary has a hearing coming up in immigration court in two weeks.

You decide to take her case, and she’s overjoyed to have someone helping her with the complexities of the immigration law. She says all she wants to do is stay with her husband in the U.S. The couple plans on opening a business together and starting a family if everything works out immigration-wise.

As Mary’s attorney, what are some possible courses of action? Identify and discuss what you come up with and choose the best option to pursue. Why is it the best?

Please explain your chosen strategy fully.
