  • Unit 4: Noise Part 2

    Part 2 of Noise (chapters 4 to 8) provides a lot more detail in terms of what noise is, what its sources are, and how we can measure the different types/components of noise. There is a lot we could potentially unpack in this rather long section of the book; however, lets try to use our own examples to try to further clarify noise and the different sources/types.

    In an initial discussion post of at least 250 words, address this prompt:

    In this section of the book, the authors further discuss the example of sentencing to explain how we can measure noise and how we can break noise into its components (level noise, pattern noise, and occasion noise). Think of your own example of a judgement that may involve noise (it can be the example you used in the last discussion or another one). In as much detail as possible explain noise (including level, pattern and occasion noise) in your example as the authors do with sentencing in chapters 6 and 7.

    In chapter 6 (on page 73 of the paperback version of the book), the authors effectively claim that more information (in this case regarding cases and defendants) leads to more noisy judgements. That seems counterintuitive (as you would think that having more information would lead to better judgements). Do you agree or disagree with their explanation? (If you can, relate this to the example you discussed).

  • Movie Review

    MUST HAVE ACCESS TO WATCH THIS MOVIE. NO AI, NO AI THOUGHTS, NO GRAMMERLY. ZERO AI . I WILL RUN THROUGH MUTIPLE DIFFERENT DETECTORS. IF FOUND THAT IT WAS USED WILL REFUND AND REPORT.

    Films are a valuable part of this course because they provide students with an opportunity to visually learn about the dynamics of family violence. Students are expected to watch the movie Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke and write a 3-5 page reflection responding to these prompts:

    1. How did the family’s online presence both conceal and reveal abuse?
    2. What systemic and social failures allowed the abuse to continue unchecked?
    3. How should content creators, viewers, and tech platforms respond when family vlogging crosses ethical lines?
    4. Examine the emotional aftermath for the childrenwhat support systems are depicted, and what gaps remain?

    The movie review should also integrate and analyze the material that is covered during the course. The movie review should not be a summary of the movie. It should not be a movie review regarding the quality of acting, cinematography, lighting, or other aspects of the quality of the production of the movie. Any paper that is a summary, a movie review, or a reflection that does not integrate material learned in class AND respond to the prompts listed above will only receive half credit (50 points).

    Minimum requirements: The movie review must be a minimum of three (3) full pages double-spaced, one inch margins on all sides, using Times New Roman 12 point font and appropriate grammar and spelling. A full page consists of text only; headers/footers, titles, name/date, and the like are NOT calculated in the full page requirement. Any paper that is a summary, a movie review, or a reflection that does not integrate material learned in class AND respond to the listed prompts will only receive half credit (50 points). The movie review is worth 100 points and must be submitted through Canvas. Any movie review of more than one (1) movie will not be accepted for extra points. Failure to meet any one of the minimum requirements will result in a 30-point deduction.

  • Report 1 Emergency Planning

    Report 1: Emergency Planning

    Overview

    Following the team’s descriptive analysis, you will now work independently to perform a prescriptive analysis. Your goal is to move beyond describing the current state and instead evaluate performance, identify gaps, and prescribe specific improvements.

    Objectives

    By completing this analysis, you will demonstrate the ability to:

    • Evaluate the robustness of a risk management framework using a real-world “stress test.”
    • Synthesize primary research data into a formal executive communication.
    • Formulate prescriptive recommendations that balance organizational constraints with best practices in emergency preparedness.

    Instructions

    Step 1: The Pandemic Stress Test

    Using the novel coronavirus pandemic as a case study, evaluate the flexibility of the organization’s risk management strategy.

    • Retrospective Analysis: Did the organization have a pandemic response plan prior to March 2020? If so, was it sufficient? If not, how did they develop one, and has it functioned adequately since?
    • Flexibility & Omissions: Based on the data gathered by your team in Part 1, does the overall emergency framework seem flexible enough to handle unexpected, high-impact situations? Identify any clear omissions.
    • Theoretical Stress-Testing: How would the current plan hold up against other non-typical emergencies, such as large-scale civil unrest or localized environmental disasters?

    Step 2: Final Deliverable (Business Report)

    Prepare a report (2-3 pages) to an organizational leader in the form of a standard business report. This memo must extend your descriptive research into a set of prescriptive recommendations.

    This is an individual assignment. While you may use the data collected by your team, the analysis and the final memo must be your own original work.

    Data Selection for Crime Analysis

    Effective crime analysis begins with selecting the right data for the problem, not simply analyzing what is available. This assignment evaluates your ability to match crime problems to appropriate data sources and justify those choices using analytical reasoning.

    Select TWO Crime Problems

    Choose two of the following problems:

    • Street robberies in a residential area
    • College parties at off-campus housing
    • Traffic crashes around schools
    • Sale and buying of drugs around convenience stores and apartment complexes
    • Shootings at and around night clubs

    Identify Appropriate Data Types

    For each problem, identify the type(s) of data that would be most useful for analysis.

    Note: More than one data type may be appropriate.

    Examples of data types may include (but are not limited to):

    • Calls for service
    • Incident / offense reports
    • Arrest data
    • Field interview or stop data
    • Crash reports
    • CAD data
    • EMS or hospital data
    • Licensing or code enforcement data
    • Temporal (time-of-day/day-of-week) data
    • Place-based or GIS data

    Analyst Justification (One Paragraph per Problem)

    For each selected problem, write one paragraph that:

    1. Identifies the primary data type(s) you would examine
    2. Explains why those data are appropriate for the specific problem
    3. Connects the data choice to:
    • The nature of the problem (place-based, offender-based, victim-based, time-based)
    • The type of analysis that could be conducted (tactical, strategic, or intelligence-led)

  • Module Two Consulting Report: Insights From Trader Joes

    Overview

    As part of the triple bottom line (TBL) focus, your organizations CEO, Ms. Ann Hernandez, has asked each departmental manager to conduct a SWOT analysis of how transitioning to TBL will affect their departments. These SWOT reports will be provided to you for further analysis and interpretation in the upcoming week.

    While you wait to receive these inputs from your CEO, you have decided to hone your business analysis skills by analyzing and interpreting the results of a well-known company, Trader Joes.

    Prompt

    1. Review the Trader Joes Case Study provided in the textbook.
      • Case Study:
    2. Your task is to create a consulting report based on your analysis of the Trader Joes case. In your report, address the following items:

    Part 1: Key Performance Indicators (KPI)

    1. Describe the relationship between strategic thinking and operational thinking.
      1. Distinguish between strategic thinking and operational thinking.
      2. Identify the aspects of the Trader Joes case that relate to strategic thinking.
      3. Identify the aspects of the Trader Joes case that relate to operational thinking.
    2. Determine one key performance indicator for strategic thinking and one for operational thinking. Explain why these are most appropriate for measuring success in marketing for Trader Joe’s.

    Part 2: SWOT Analysis

    1. Identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) from the Trader Joes case. To answer this question, use the SWOT analysis template provided below. One example for each quadrant has been added to help you get started.
      1. Which information from the Trader Joes SWOT analysis is internal? Which information from the Trader Joes SWOT analysis is external?
    2. Interpret your SWOT result by discussing how each quadrant impacts the organization. How should an organization interpret the results from a SWOT analysis?
      1. Consider the ways SWOT results can guide strategic decision-making.

    Trader Joes: SWOT Analysis

    • STRENGTHS
      • This phrase implies that the company has a process for collecting, reviewing, and using knowledge to make product improvements, which results in market responsiveness.
      • Example: Trader Joes culture of product knowledge and customer involvement is carefully cultivated among new hires and current employees.
    • WEAKNESSES
      • Because the company tests new products with customers and is willing to take a loss if customers dont like products, this could lead to increased opportunities costs for those products that company purchasing agents passed up and decreased profits.
      • Example: If customers dont like something about a product, out it goescount spinach and garlic from China among the rejected losers.
    • OPPORTUNITIES
      • This could be an opportunity to bring in local artists and designers to co-promote the Trader Joes brand and to increase local brand engagement and adoption.
      • Example: However, Trader Joes has a cozy and intimate atmosphere that its rival lacks.
    • THREATS
      • This could be a potential threat in times like we are experiencing right now, when global supply chains are disrupted and fewer products are available.
      • Example: search out tasty, unusual foods from all around the world
