The Progressive Era: select one of the following laws or cases from the Progressive Era that is interesting to you then, consider the impact this law or case might have had on the current U.S. criminal justice system. Explain how this impact may have an influence on your role in the U.S. criminal justice system.
Labeling Theory would posit that crime is a product of increased legislation more than inherent criminal tendencies. In criminal justice history it might be argued that custom has remained more influential than law.
For this Discussion, select one of the following laws or cases from the Progressive Era that is interesting to you: White Slave Traffic Act, the Sullivan Law, the Drug Laws, the Eugenics Movement, the Red Scare, or Weeks v. United States. Then, consider the impact this law or case might have had on the current U.S. criminal justice system. Explain how this impact may have an influence on your role in the U.S. criminal justice system.
ANSWER How did the laws and cases of the Progressive Era affect what happens today? Provide one example. Using one of the laws or cases provided, explain any parallels of this to current laws or cases. What might be the lasting effects on today’s U.S. criminal justice system? How does having this information as a leader in criminal justice influence your role?

communicate the corporate parent’s nature and its level of influence over the proceeding business segments within its portfolio.
1000 word report on the strategic context of
the FTSE firm selected. The formative is designed to be an introduction to the in-depth strategic analysis that will be required for the summative assessment. The goal of the formative is to provide a sophisticated contextual background on their firm’s strategic intent, performance, and any general opportunities/threats that warrant the need for a fine-grained
strategic assessment/change. The formal details of the summative assessment will be released shortly, and are pending approval by the external examiner. However, the general objectives/goals will remain as a focused analysis on the strategic issues outlined in the formative using further models taught throughout the course to build on the work completed at this stage. A strong strategic analysis needs an appropriate focus and positioning over a
strategic issue, which is the goal of the formative assessment. The formative assessment is designed to support students with the initial elements of the summative assessment. The students will be permitted to re-use and expand elements of this work for their final submission. However, it is highly recommended that the formative submission is edited and adapted to address any feedback/suggestions provided at this stage.
The students should critique, examine, and understand the different strategic decision-making levels within their firms. They should communicate the corporate parent’s nature and its level of influence over the proceeding business segments within its portfolio. The student should point to any explicit statements of ‘strategic’ motivations/intents made by the firm. For example, does the firm state they are interested at growing their portfolio into a
health/wellness market, address climate change/sustainability issues, improving their geographic market coverage, invest in R&D/Technologies, etc. The company data (website/financial reports/FTSE website, etc.) and various external sources (Industry Reports/Press Releases/Bloomberg/Financial Times/etc.) should support this. The student should attempt to paint a broad picture of the FTSE firm; which may include information on market share, key categories, structure, vision/mission, M&As, Mega Trends, and synergies
among the business units, etc from a top level.
The students are then expected to select a corresponding business level/competitive market that is involved in delivering the strategic intent outlined previously. Students should clearly identify the geographic and competitive market that will be analysed in-depth for the summative. Students are encouraged to elaborate on the value propositions, alongside the type of product and/or segment, and general information on how this segment is
competing/developing/acting within a specific geographic region. The students should reflect on the notion of competitive advantage and explicitly state if they believe the firm currently in possession of, at risk of losing, or has an opportunity to obtain it. Some useful tools/frameworks that the students may choose to set this contextual scene are: Porter’s Generic Strategies, Ansoff Matrix, Innovation Posturing Strategies, Value Propositions, etc.

Discuss and explain which of the two mutations might be the most likely cause of recurrent infections and in which region of the protein would each mutation affect?
In a big cohort study with individuals having recurrent infections, some individuals were found to have mutations in toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4). These mutations were identified as Asp299Gly (aspartic acid is changed to glycine at 299 position) and Thr399Ile (threonine is changed to isoleucine at 399 position). Using the western blot assays identifying the phosphorylation of downstream signaling proteins of TLR4, it was identified that the Asp299Gly mutation disrupts TLR4 signaling, whereas the Thr399Ile mutation has no effect on TLR4 signaling.
Using this information, discuss and explain which of the two mutations might be the most likely cause of recurrent infections and in which region of the protein would each mutation affect?
***PLEASE AIM TO WRITE BETWEEN 140-160 WORDS
Are the mean intelligence quotients different between males and females?
Independent Variable
We will compute and write-up the results for the independent-samples t-test. The independent variable is usually a categorical variable used to group participants into two separate groups. For two separate groups, one variable has two levels. The groups are separated by the levels of the independent variable.
Dependent Variable
The scale of measurement for the dependent variable needs to be interval or ratio. Here, we are referring to either the scale of measurement or the underlying scale of measurement. For example, the time spent shopping is on a ratio scale; height is also on a ratio scale. An interval-scaled variable includes temperature (in Celsius or Fahrenheit units). We may obtain ratings on a 7-point scale from strongly agree (7) to disagree strongly (1). Levels of the agreement are ordinal. The underlying rating scale is an
interval. That is, we can compute an interpretable mean for this rating.
Statistical Assumptions
The accuracy of the probability associated with the t-statistic and the ANOVA F-statistic
depends on upon the following assumptions.
The shapes of the populations for each group are normally distributed.
The population variances are equal for each group.
If the assumptions are violated, the 0.05 or 0.01 alpha levels that appear in appendices of statistics textbooks do not accurately reflect the distribution for the t-statistic and the Fstatistic.
Research Question
The research question takes the following form.
Are the mean intelligence quotients different between males and females?
Hypotheses
Both Population M1 and Population M2 will be estimated by sample means M1 and M2.
Furthermore, the following null hypothesis will be tested.
Null Hypothesis: The Population M1 equals the Population M2.
The alternative hypothesis is stated as follows.
Alternative Hypothesis: The Population M1 does not equal the Population M2.
The test of the null hypothesis that is based on the sample estimates of M1 and M2 are done using the independent samples t-statistic.
P-Value
We should report the p-value. An example of reporting the p-value appears below (Wendorf, 2014, p. 4).
An independent sample t test showed that the difference in quiz scores between the control group (n = 4, M = 6.00, SD = 0.82) and the experimental groups (n = 4, M = 8.00, SD = .82) were statistically significant, t(6) = -3.46, p = .013, 95% CI [-3.41, – 0.59], d = -2.45.
Confidence Interval
We should state the conclusion about the confidence interval. An example appears below.
With 95% confidence, the population parameter is within the interval [-5.70, 3.11].
Null Hypothesis
We need to state whether the statistical null hypothesis was rejected.
Writing Style
We employ APA style when we write the results. As described by Green and Salkind (2008, p. 166), the parts that need to be reported include the following.
State the test, variable, and purpose.
Report the results of the test.
Report the descriptive statistics.
For example, we can report the results of a test on a simulation game in this manner.
An independent-samples t-test was done to decide if the participants’ mean score for simulation game training (M=84.50, SD=9.26) was higher than that of other participants who received video training (M=76.00, SD=12.65). The means were not significantly different: t(18)=1.714, p>0.05, r=0.30.
Appendix
We should include the syntax and output file in an appendix to the submitted document.
Other Considerations
Other considerations include the following.
1. Figures should be numbered and include captions.
2. The figures should appear after the paragraph in which the figure was introduced.
3. Tables should be numbered and include captions.
4. The tables should be included after the paragraph in which the figure was
introduced.
5. Raw data, including per-participant scores or values, should not be included.
6. Include an introduction that describes what we are going to write.

CASE:
(Please read the following case and answer the questions below.)
Alex is the personnel manager of a London-based finance company, XYZ Investment. Recently there have been a number of high-profile reports in the media concerning finance executives who have been sacked fallowing the discovery that they had been using illicit drugs out of office hours.
The report indicate that UK businesses lose around £3bn every year to drink-and-drug-related illness, whilst in the USA, drug use is estimated to cost employers $75-100bn annually in lost time, accidents, healthcare, and workers’ compensation costs. Sixty-five percent of all accidents on the job in the USA are said to be directly related to drugs and/or alcohol. Therefore, drug testing become very common in the USA with around 80 percent of firms currently using some kind of test. Testing is not nearly so common in the UK but is apparently on the increase following the introduction of extensive programmes at companies such as Railtrack and London Transport. The hectic, fast-living lifestyle of the London financial district is thought to make traders and other city finance executives increasingly prone to use drugs and consume alcohol excessively. The government provides no particular restriction for alcohol consumption for out of working hours.
Assuming that using drug or consuming alcohol excessively can affect employees’ work performance negatively. Mr Osborne, the managing director, has decided to ask Alex to consider the case for instituting a programme of drug testing for XYZ-Investments’ employees. Additionally, he also requested Alex to prepare a questionnaire related to alcohol and drug use for the future recruitments of the company.
After a while, as a personnel manager, Alex had to evaluate three shortlisted candidates for an internship position in the company. Although he had chance to observe these candidates’ performance during the interviews, Alex felt unstable among the three good profile candidates. Alex’s assistant George who is an intern too, comes up with an idea suggesting that checking social media profiles of these candidates might be helpful for making decision. Once Alex realizes that two of the shortlisted candidates are George’s friends on Facebook, Alex asks George to log in Facebook using his username and password, so he can see two of the candidates’ pictures shared with friends only.
Alex feels strong pressure on his shoulder for hiring new people who are not involved in drug use or alcohol problems
Questions:
2.1 Read the above case carefully and identify the main stakeholders and ethical issues around them. (10 points)
2.2 Critically evaluate the case using TWO of the following ethical theories: Utilitarianism, Kantianism, Rights and Justice, Virtue ethics. (30 points)
If you were in Alex’s position, what would you do? Justify your answer
