The Police Department has hired you as a consultant in a robbery investigation. A thief allegedly robbed a bank and, to escape t

he pursing security guards, took the express elevator to the roof of the building. Then, in order to not be caught with the evidence, the thief allegedly threw the money bag to a waiting accomplice on the roof of the next building. The defense attorney contends that in order to reach the roof of that next building, the defendant would have had to throw the money bag horizontally with a minimum velocity of 10 meters/second. However, in a test, the accused could throw the bag with a maximum horizontal velocity of no more than 5 meters/second. How will you advise the prosecuting attorney

The vertical distance between the roofs of the two buildings is 150 meters. Let’s use the equation below to determine the time required for the bag to drop 150 meters.

d = vi * t + ½ * 9.8 * t^2, d = 150 m
Since the bag is thrown horizontally, the initial vertical velocity is 0 m/s.
150 = ½ * 9.8 * t^2, t = √(150/4.9) ≈ 5.53 seconds

We can use the time to determine the minimum horizontal velocity required for the bag to travel 20 meters.
v = 20 ÷ √(150/4.9) ≈ 3.61 m/s

Since this velocity is less than 5 m/s. I believe that the bag to accused could throw the bag to the accomplice. I would advise the prosecuting attorney to do some pleas bargaining to get the accused the best deal possible. The accused is GUILTY!

Why do state crimes go unreported
Kruka [31]

Answer:

States usually create the laws of their countries and governments can break their own laws. This led Penny Green and Tony Ward in 2005 to define state crime as "illegal or deviant activity perpetrated by or with the complicity of state agencies". The genocide in Rwanda is an example.

Human rights are the challenge of changing norms and values. Wanting to apply Western standards to all societies would be a difficult argument for many individuals. It does not seem acceptable to argue that women should have fewer rights in Saudi Arabia than in the United Kingdom.

State crimes are not reported because states and the government do not always share the same values and norms.

What is security education​
GenaCL600 [577]

<u>Answer:</u>

The Safety Education Program is basically an internal marketing campaign structured to raise awareness of security risks and encourage acceptable good practices and habits throughout the organisation. It should concentrate on those facets of safety that apply to human nature, with awareness campaigns on tailgating, vandalism, awareness of one's circumstances while traveling on the road and preserve documentation.

The Security Education will help make security robust, unobtrusive and effective across the organization in order to improve behavior through constructive, opportunities, positive reinforcement, cross-collaboration, rewards, secure intellectual assets and computing assets.

What are some possible negative issues with the M'Naghter Rule? Select all that apply.
koban [17]

Answer:

A. Fails to distinguish between violent defendants and one that no longer pose a danger to society.

C. Fails to differentiate between mental illness that are temporary or lifelong conditions.

Explanation:

M'Naghten Rule is an insanity defense used by defendant's attorney to plead defendant not guilty of crime due to mental conditions suffered during the time crime committed.

M'Naghten Rule states that a defendant will be pleaded not guilty only under conditions when it will be proved that the mental condition of defendant was not right at the time when crime was committed and that he/she was not able to discern his/her actions as right or wrong.

The criticism received to the M'Naghten rule is that it fails to distinguish between defendants who pose threat to the society and those who do not pose threat any longer. Another criticism is that it fails to distinguish between mental illness that are temporary or conditions which are lifelong.

Therefore, option A and C are correct.
