  1. Do you think that hospital integration can deliver better care to the patients and community? Why or what are the advantages to integration?
  2. Do you believe that gate keeping by a primary care physician should play a greater role in the provision of health care services to patients? Should more insurance carriers make gate-keeping a requirement so that it is not just solely a part of managed care plans?

Currently, the White House wants to repeal and replace the ACA.

How did the ACA improve access and quality, and contain some costs?

Discuss the importance of recognizing the signs of stalking and criminal definition of stalking for your jurisdiction

/in /by

When you were attending AIU, you thought of yourself being an undercover narcotics officer or working for a bank as a fraud investigator, but you were initially exposed to the role of a victims’ witness assistant during the Criminal Careers course at AIU. Then, your best friend became a victim of a crime of violence after being stalked for several months, and that incident changed your life. As you provided comfort and support to your friend during the judicial process, you were exposed first hand to the role played by the victims’ witness assistant during the criminal judicial process. The role of the victims’ witness assistant changed you, and you decided then that you wanted to pursue a career as a victims’ rights advocate somewhere. It has been a year since you were able to start your career in the victims’ rights advocate position, and every day, you feel that you are making a difference in society and your jurisdiction.
The prosecutor for whom you have been working as a victims’ witness assistant has had several calls from victims of stalking. Some cases seem more serious than other cases; however, one case that no one in the office thought was serious resulted in the victim’s death. Everyone thought that the couple was just going through a difficult breakup. This case had a tremendous impact on the entire office, especially you.
To help make sure that the office does not minimize a potentially dangerous situation again, the prosecutor has asked you to put together an intake, evaluation, and assessment instrument to be used in taking information on stalking situations. Be sure to check stalking statutes, and cite the elements of the crime of stalking in your documents.

In 2-3 pages, complete the following:
Create a topic paper (2–3 pages) in APA format discussing the following:
Importance of recognizing the signs of stalking
Criminal definition of stalking for your jurisdiction (cite a relevant stalking statute)
Key facts that you felt all office personnel should know about stalking, such as the remedies designed to help a stalking victim
Create an intake form in addition to the topic paper that can be used to get important information from alleged victims of stalking.
The form should require information about the nature and frequency of stalking and should determine if the elements of the crime of stalking are present.
The form should also ask questions that will elicit answers that help indicate what type of stalking situation exists, asking things such as: Is the victim acquainted with the suspect, and if so, how? If not, how does the victim think the suspect knows or has encountered the victim? It should ask for the frequency of the annoyance and if the victim is in fear and why. Most stalking statutes require a pattern of harassment or annoyance that would make a reasonable person afraid or seriously annoyed; the form should ask something that would capture that information. The form should indicate whether or not there is a pending divorce or other legal matters between the 2 parties.
Create an evaluation and assessment form in addition to the topic paper based on the intake form you have created that will help rank the seriousness of the threat from the suspect who is stalking.
The evaluation and assessment form should indicate your familiarity with the contemporary information on what constitutes the most dangerous threat to the victim and then provide a ranking accordingly.
Your forms should reflect contemporary information, the legal definition of the crime of stalking, and the factors that distinguish the most serious situations.

Identify the types of cyber-crimes that may ultimately lead to a physical crime against the victim

Explain the role of local law enforcement (LE) in combating terrorism. What unique advantage(s) might local LE have to help in counter-terrorism efforts?

/in /by

As part of the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City in April, 1995, researchers and law enforcement officials have come to recognize the need for effective coordinated efforts in the fight against terrorism. Major situations such as a terrorist attack that require the needed services of various emergency agencies and other support services must have a well-coordinated crisis response system. Knowing what resources are needed during a crisis helps allow for better coordination and execution of such services when needed. Note: A crisis response plan typically is a multi-agency written plan to coordinate the response of the multitude of agencies expected at big events. Such agencies may include law enforcement, fire departments, federal agencies, hospitals, and so on.
