Abstract
This essay explores the flaws within the stages of detection within the judicial system. The essay dissects the three stages of detection: investigation, interrogation and testimony. It finds that the courts and social organization of policing allow detectives to operate according to their own moral perceptions and constraints, framed within an adversary system of justice. Further, the paper finds that the court system gives police encouragement to deceive during all stages of detection as a sub-culturally supported norm.

From the Paper
"It may be quaint and a contradiction of values and norms but it is also factual that police freely admit to deceiving suspects and defendants to catch them, yet lying policemen and detectives do not admit to committing perjury (Skotnick, 1985). Perjury is as systematic as police work and police know among themselves that they perjure as a norm rather than as an individual error. A study, conducted by Columbia law students on the effect of Mapp v. Ohio on police practices in New York City, on certain search and seizure cases showed that uniformed police fabricated grounds for arrest in narcotics cases in meeting the requirements of Mapp. This does not justify but only explains how police who falsely witness justify the practice for the sake of greater persuasiveness.

"Social capital is a measure of involvement in charitable and civic organizations, political involvement and racial and social trust in a community. Common forms of social capital include volunteering for political service work such as political campaigns or school board functions. Other forms of social capital include volunteering time to work with children or elderly individuals, and donating time to support causes to advance or support ones community. Social and racial trust is classified as a component of social capital as well. A community where individuals are accepting of cultural diversity and feel secure in their community is considered to have a strong level of social trust. Brooks's research sought to determine the correlation between social capital and generosity of Americans by asking, "Do all social capital types have a uniform impact on charitable behavior?" (Brooks, 2005 p.4)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at how corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a popular method for organizations to bolster their reputations and respond to pertinent social issues. To illustrate, it focuses particularly on the organizations of Starbucks and Ben & Jerry's. The paper claims that, although CSR programs are important to the organization, the costs of these programs are so extensive that achieving a competitive advantage through CSR can be a notable challenge. In an effort to elucidate these challenges, the paper considers whether or not organizations can derive a competitive advantage through corporate social responsibility programs. The results of the investigation suggest that CSR can lead to a competitive advantage, but only through integration of CSR with all aspects of the organization's operations. The paper concludes with recommendations for organizations to develop and implement CSR programs.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Based on the data provided here, it seems reasonable to argue that corporate social responsibility encompasses a wide range of issues for the organization, requiring the fair, equitable, ethical and legal treatment of all organizational stakeholders. Stakeholders include employees and the public as a whole--i.e. anyone that will in some way be impacted by the organization. Through the adoption of comprehensive programs and policies that support fair and equitable treatment of stakeholders, the organization is able to establish a clear corporate social responsibility program that will have direct implications for the way in which the organization does business. CSR programs are intended to have a holistic impact on the organization, producing improved outcomes in all levels of operations."

Abstract
This paper investigates the case of a 35 year old woman with Down Syndrome, referred to a team of social workers by her parents. The paper shows the methods used in identifying Shari's problems, such as researching her history. The report then draws up a treatment/intervention plan to encourage her to communicate with her environment using a system called Projective Identification. Finally, the report introduces facilities such as vocational rehabilitation centers which work with clients in a residential setting and which would offer a good solution to someone in Shari's position.

From the Paper
"There are three types of projective identification that clients project into the therapist/analyst. First, the analyst's mind is totally attacked this can be likened to acid being thrown into the face, and blinding the eyes. The emotions of the client totally takes total control of the analyst's mind and renders the analyst helpless. Second, the projection takes over just part of the analyst's mind, enabling the analyst to at least continue with life duties. The last type of projective identification puts just parts of the client's self into the analyst. This can be likened to containment of the emotions. (Clarke)"

From the Paper
"In the United States of America there have been case studies performed in relation to the proper methods and practices to utilize in interviewing the child victim of sexual abuse. Studies performed in Israel have also addressed these issues. Countries such as the United States and Israel have been seeking the "best practice" in forensic interviews of children who are victims to sexual abuse. A FBI Enforcement Bulletin dated October 1, 1999 states that: "If investigators have followed basic investigative rules and present well-prepared cases at trial essentially, they have implemented the multidisciplinary method, even if their department has not formalized the approach." Primary practice in investigation in this "multidisciplinary method" are the conducting of well-planned interviews, elimination of tunnel vision, understanding probable cause and understanding that when someone is cleared from arrest that the case should be kept open. Specifics in this method are specialists or those trained performing interviews are optimal conditions and suggest that prosecutors and other member of the multidisciplinary team observe the interviews."

Abstract
The San Francisco division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lists five major crimes that have increased due to technology advancement across the globe. These crimes include identity theft, child pornography, high technology crimes, industrial espionage and computer intrusion of the nation's "critical information, military and economic infrastructures" ("Technology", n.d.). Because of the continued advancements in computer technology the growth in the number of people that have access to information that can negatively impact those within the social order, as well as the foundation of information that supports the operation of businesses and the nation is evident. Therefore, individuals within criminal investigative departments and law enforcement have been tasked with developing methods of addressing these types of crime and ensuring that cyberspace is a safe environment for all who use it.

From the Paper
"The numbers of women in senior management positions in American organizations are disproportionately low in relation to both the numbers of women in the general population and the numbers of women among the employees of organizations (Martinez, 1997; Silverman, 1997; Konrad & Linnehan, 1995). Some analysts have suggested that a "glass ceiling" exists that blocks the promotion of women to senior management positions (Poole, Langan-Fox, & Omodei, 1993, pp. 39). A similar phenomenon is held to exist for individuals of minority population classification status (Didion, 1995). Thus, women who are members of racial and ethnic minorities conceivably face double barriers to advancement in organizations.
A study conducted by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (1999) confirmed the role of gender in promotion to senior management positions. This confirmation was made on the basis of comparing the average hierarchical positions of individuals of different gender and racial background in organizations monitored by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (1999). The criterion for comparison was the number of reporting levels below the chief executive officer (CEO) of the highest-ranking individual classified according to gender and race or ethnicity. The study found that, on average, men outranked women in hierarchical structures among African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and whites."

Abstract
This paper presents a definition for "rednecks" or "hillbillies," and proposes a qualitative case study to explore the way people feel about rednecks on television. The author hypothesizes that uncertainty reduction method is a plausible tool for reducing or eliminating stereotypes of rednecks and other social groups commonly targeted for comedy. The results of this study will prove helpful to sociologists interested in understanding how social identity is formed and why people hold onto negative stereotypes in modern society.

From the Paper
"Despite knowledge that stereotypes in the media leave negative and lasting imprints on the minds of viewers, there is much evidence suggesting blatant misuse of stereotyping in the media. While the media is no longer allowed to support comments or television programs supportive of bigotry or prejudice, there seems to be a consensus that stereotyping of the population labeled "rednecks" is acceptable even if it is derogatory in nature (Booker, 2002). This paper will attempt to discern why stereotyping of this sub-population remains commonplace and acceptable in the media. The objective of the researcher is to find out if any new paradigms may be provided to eliminate the use of redneck stereotyping in the media."
