Security, Detective & Crime : World Progress Report Announces Expansion of its New Series: Exposing Scams and Identity Theft
|
| on 2010/8/14 21:00:00 (109 reads) |
(SkyNewswire.com) --- World Progress Report recently announced its decision to expand their Identity Theft and Scam Series to include additional topics. "We had such a great response to our identity theft segment with the FBI that we wanted to provide even more resources to our viewers by including additional relevant topics in our program," said the Executive Producer of the series. "In fact, we're looking to produce segments on child identity theft scams for our series, which seems to be the newest scheme thieves are using to evade authorities."
Growing at a surprising rate, child identity theft is becoming an appealing way of stealing personal information in today's society. According to a recent article, over 400,000 children are affected each year. Since children have no need to open checking, credit or other monetary accounts, thieves are thriving on stealing their social security numbers to open financial accounts and incur debt with the stolen identity. Unfortunately, discovery of this crime most often occurs many years later when the child is fully grown. Though devastating, there are ways to protect children from becoming the victim.

Security, Detective & Crime : Saving Yourself From Medical Mistakes
|
| on 2010/7/29 9:30:00 (102 reads) |
(SkyNewswire.com) --- It is estimated that 98,000 people die in U.S. hospitals from medical errors each year. There are ways to better ensure your safety and to make the most of your care during a hospital stay. An essential part of ensuring your safety as a patient is to ask questions of your caregivers. You have a right to know which medications you are being given and why. There should be an open line of communication between you and your healthcare providers. Bring a list of all medications you are currently taking to ensure your doctor is fully informed.
Make sure that all personal information such as your name, medical history, and drug allergies are correct and properly documented. Doctors and nurses can make mistakes. Something as minor as a misspelled name could lead to mistakes in medication and dosage that could cause serious harm or death. One of the more dangerous risks of hospitalization is acquiring an infection. Infections acquired within a hospital account for 48,000 deaths each year. Infections can be prevented by keeping clean and insisting all caregivers wash their hands and wipe all instruments with alcohol before they touch you. Before an invasive surgery, request to be tested for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSP, which may require further precautions to properly ward off infections.

Security, Detective & Crime : Arizona Turning Off the Lights on Photo Enforcement Cameras
|
| on 2010/7/29 9:00:00 (114 reads) |
(SkyNewswire.com) --- In September of 2008, photo enforcement cameras went up across highways throughout Arizona. At the time, then Governor Janet Napolitano predicted the cameras would make the highways safer and generate $90 million in revenue for the state. Nearly two years later, the cameras are being shut down.
According to a report by The Arizona Republic, in their two year lifespan, the cameras took over 2.7 million pictures. Only 16 percent of those pictures resulted in a fine being paid, providing the state with $78 million in revenue. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently voted against renewing the contract with the camera's vendor Redflex. Advocates of photo enforcement cameras point out the reduction in crashes, property damage and man hours that police take investigating accidents. Joanna Peters, Executive Director of the Arizona Safer Roads Alliance, notes that speed is a factor in nearly one-third of all fatal traffic accidents, trailing only drunk driving as a major contributing factor. She also points to the Department of Public Safety's own report that showed a significant decrease in property damage and fatal accidents on the roads after only nine months of camera operation.

Security, Detective & Crime : Faga Savino Files Civil Lawsuit on Behalf of Estate of Ecuadorean Man Killed in 2008 Long Island Attack
|
| on 2010/7/24 7:00:00 (128 reads) |
(SkyNewswire.com) --- Attorneys from the New York law firm of Faga Savino, LLP, have filed a civil lawsuit on behalf of the estate of Marcelo Lucero, an undocumented immigrant from Ecuador who was attacked and killed in 2008 by a group of teenagers in Long Island. The lawsuit, Lucero v. Conroy et al (Index No. 09-43986), was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of Suffolk. The complaint was served against the seven men who participated in the attack, as well as their parents.
Lucero, a 37 year-old Ecuadorean immigrant, was stabbed to death by a white teenager in Patchogue, N.Y., in 2008 in a case that that put a spotlight on anti-Hispanic violence on Long Island. Lucero, who worked at a dry cleaning shop, was surrounded and attacked by Jeffrey Conroy and six others in a parking lot of the Patchogue train station shortly before midnight on Nov. 8, 2008. Lucero and a friend were walking to another friend's house as the group approached. The two men were taunted and then beaten before Lucero was stabbed by Conroy.

Security, Detective & Crime : CARE2 Youth Behavior Assessment and Treatment Planning Tool Is Now Online
|
| on 2010/7/19 6:30:00 (116 reads) |
(SkyNewswire.com) --- The US has a higher violence rate than Europe, Asia, Canada, or Australia, while South America, Africa and Russia have higher rates of violence than the US. The cost of violence in death, injury, suffering and damage to communities and economies is massive and unacceptable. The World Health organization estimates the monetary cost for US interpersonal violence at $300 Billion per year and an additional cost to victims of $500 Billion. This is around 8% of the GNP. Therefore, reducing violence will have a huge positive economic and social impact on the US.
To reduce violence, one must be able to measure risk in a valid manner and know how to manage risk and prevent future violence. An assessment tool that links problems and resiliency with evidence based treatment, such as the CARE2 has been needed in the field of youth violence. It is not enough to measure risk for violence, professionals must also provide effective treatment to at risk youth.

Security, Detective & Crime : DNA Testing and the Presumption of Innocence in North Carolina
|
| on 2010/7/12 9:00:00 (101 reads) |
(SkyNewswire.com) --- In May, the United States House of Representatives approved the Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection Act of 2010, which makes funding available to states that require DNA samples from adults arrested for certain serious crimes, says CNET News. News 14 reports that Attorney General Roy Cooper has asked the state House Judicial Committee to approve legislation that would require felony arrestees to provide a DNA sample in line with the federal legislation. State House Rep. Wil Neumann, the bill sponsor, says it would prevent violent crimes by repeat offenders, save costly investigative resources and improve identification procedures.
Currently, unless a warrant is issued or consent is given, DNA is collected only after a conviction. According to the Carolina Journal, Daren Bakst, Director of Legal and Regulatory Studies for the John Locke Foundation, said, "If lawmakers approve this bill, North Carolina would treat innocent people as if they're guilty. The state would require for the first time that innocent people provide DNA to the government."

Security, Detective & Crime : Consequences of Being a Convicted Sexual Offender
|
| on 2010/7/12 8:30:00 (99 reads) |
(SkyNewswire.com) --- In reality, Hugh Edwards, the victim of a brutal murder in Florida, was an elderly man with no criminal history who lived alone in a trailer. In the mind of the alleged murderer, however, Edwards was a convicted sex offender who deserved to be beaten to death with a baseball bat. Regardless of the reality of actual or perceived sexual predators living in local neighborhoods, there are people whose motives are to remove any threat of others committing sexual crimes against their family or friends. This mentality can lead to many challenges or even death for anyone identified as a convicted or perceived sex offender.
Sexual Crimes in the U.S. According to a Center for Sex Offender Management publication in 2007, around 150,000 of the approximately 1.5 million criminals housed in federal and state prisons in the U.S. were convicted of sex-related crimes. Around 40 percent of these offenses included rape, while the other 60 percent consisted of other sexual acts, such as indecent exposure, fondling and lewdness with children. At any given time, convicted sexual predators may make up to 30 percent of prison populations across the nation. Once sexual offenders are released, however, the real challenges and threats begin.

Security, Detective & Crime : Private Snoops Use Law-Enforcement Technology To Bug Meetings, Spy on Spouses and Steal Company Secrets
|
| on 2010/6/28 11:20:00 (88 reads) |
(SkyNewswire.com) --- Spying conjures up images of sexy secret agents like James Bond executing daring undercover maneuvers in distant lands. But spying is not just for real (or fictional) spies anymore. And whether you run a large business or a small family household, you could be victimized by the very same surveillance technology that is used by law enforcement to catch the bad guys or by real spies to steal business and government secrets.
An astounding array of sophisticated espionage gear is now marketed to the general public as if it were just another consumer electronics product. These small, powerful devices include room bugs, telephone taps, vehicle trackers, keyloggers, hidden cameras, and spy software that can be installed on your computer, cell phone or PDA. “A downturn in the global economy creates more adversarial situations including job insecurity, financial difficulties, divorces or business partnership dissolutions,” says countersurveillance expert, Norbert Zaenglein, “and these are precisely the type of situations where individuals will resort to any means, including spying, in order to gain private insights, useful evidence or competitive advantages.”
