explanations of crime and its control. Contemporary criminology uses scientific methodology, creating research data that looks at the larger issue of crime, being the social construct of ever altering societies and cultures. Contemporary criminology contains a wide range of theoretical approaches from which all take stands against the older theories like Lombroso’s classic theory ‘Born criminals’. As a result criminologists recognises that what is perceived as criminal activity and crime is constantly
et al (2016) provide a case study analysis of the temporal nature of memory in suspect lineups and crimes being investigated by law enforcement. The study involves a longitudinal evaluation of participants that are given evidence of a crime (through slideshows) that allows them to ascertain the criminal act or to choose a suspect in a lineup. At a later time, the participants are given altered information on the crime, which revealed a greatly distorted memory of the crimes that the participants did
Cyber Espionage Attacks This kind of attacks differ from other types of cyber-attacks as they have a different source from where the actual attack comes from, which is mainly from within the organization that is being attacked. It may be the most difficult type of attack in which organizations are able to defend themselves from, for example if the attack is emanating from an individual that holds a high rank within the company. Taking an example of the United States where the government has a process
Characteristics of ethnographic or case study approach There are multiple characteristics of ethnographic approach. This research is considered to be more of a descriptive type research approach, that is intended for “in-depth research and descriptions of ethnic groups, cultures, large organizations, and their features” (Percy, Kostere, & Kostere, 2015, p. 16). This type of research immerses its selves in the organization or culture they are reviewing, and becoming a part of the culture, so that
that collects data on relevant variables on time only from a variety of people, subjects or situation. The data are collected all at the same time or with a short time frame. A cross sectional design provides a picture of the variable included in the study, at one particular point in time. It may reveal how those variables are represented in a cross section of a population. Cross sectional design generally use survey techniques to gather data. For example census of Maldives Advantages Cross sectional

strong focus especially on “succession, performance, and governance” of these companies (Astrachan & Shanker, 2003; Zahra & Sharma, 2004). Although the first attempt to conduct research on family businesses can be traced back to Trow’s (1961) empirical study entitled “Executive succession in small companies” in which he investigated the factors that affect succession planning for top positions in small companies, its popularity has started to increase after 1980s (Benavides-Velasco, Quintana-Garcia, &
We focused on the Richard Trenton Chase also known as the “The vampire of Sacramento” case study. Chase was further known as the “vampire killer of sacramento” because he would drink the blood of his victims and also practice cannibalism with their remaining body parts. Chase was in and out of mental institutions his whole life, as a child he was known for setting fires and killing animals. Chase noticed early he wasn’t like the other boys in his relationships with females. He wasn’t able to get
However, no study has been given if adolescent sexual offenders are more likely to have a childhood diagnosis of conduct disorder than adult sexual offenders (Morrell & Burton, 2014, p.39). Sexual offences in adolescents does not necessarily continue at 20 years of age (Dudeck, Spitzer, Stopsack, Freyberger & Barnow, 2007, p.494). In order to investigate this phenomenon and address the gap in adolescent sexual offenders having a higher possibility of conduct disorder, the following research study is proposed
