In today’s culture, college campuses can face any number of risk, but for the purpose of this paper, I will be looking at what I believe to be the most probable, or there is a high probability level. Probability is defined as (Fisher & Green, 2004, p.139),” Probability is a mathematical statement concerning the possibility of an event occurring.” As stated, natural disasters are considered Acts of God, so they can be unpredictable and must be taking into consideration, especially for those universities located near shorelines ( flooding & hurricanes), and earthquake and tornado zones. Secondly, technological and
Crime and violence is rampant throughout the world. Laws exist to maintain order and peace and provide for the safety and well-being of all members of society. Acts that disrupt and threaten this system of order are deemed criminal in nature and are punishable by law. It is believed that criminal types operate from a self-centered framework that shows little, if any regard, for the safety and well-being of others (Merton, 2006).
In our society there is many different types of crimes, I will be focusing specifically on street crime and white-collared crime. Each of these criminal communities has criminals that in the end are just trying to reach a goal. Whether it is the American dream of living in luxury or just trying to make ends meet. “White collared” crime is defined as a nonviolent criminal act that is motivated by financial gain. Then there is “street crime” which is defined as a criminal offense that is committed in a public place. Some examples of white-collar crimes are: embezzlement, corporate price-fixing, fraud, bribery, forgery, money laundering, cybercrime, copyright infringement, etc. While some examples of street crime are: robbing, murder, rape, sale of illegal drugs, assault, auto theft, etc.
Criminology is focused on the attempt to understand the meanings involved in social interaction. Theorists have tried to explain sociological behaviour by looking at the patterns created by individuals that commit crime. The August 2011 riots are pivotal in explaining criminological behaviour since official statistics show that 865 individuals were put in prison by the 9th September 2011 for offences related to the disorder between 6th and 9th August 2011. This is not to say that others were not involved, but that they have simply not been identified to date and may never be identified, however the evidence we do have about the recent riots gives us plenty to talk about. This essay will

During the crisis at Memorial, doctors and nurses had to find ways of quickly and efficiently moving ill patients when “the hurricane knocked out power and running water and sent the temperatures inside above 100 degrees” (Fink 1). If these nurses, doctors and staff were given an evacuation plan before the storm, they could have practiced it and would not have had to spontaneously make up a plan that no one was familiar with. During college students are always roaming campus and are vulnerable to terrible events happening, this real world situation at Memorial has definitely shown me that anything can happen and there should be plans arranged for each situation whether it is a snowstorm or a gunman on campus. Two main topics that popped up when I read Deadly Choices at Memorial were to always have a plan and work well in teams; if there ever were a shooter on campus, students should be aware and know of the safety plan and work together to make sure everyone was

This type of information is essential because organized crime has be handled in a different way from those of traditional offenders. Researchers can do a more comprehensive understanding could be acquired from the many empirical and speculative theories that contribute in the clarification of organized crime; this writer would it to be known that there is not one theory that can be applicable to the various groups of organized crime or its participants (Mallory & Mallory, 2012).
