CHILD ABUSE IN MINNESOTA

Critically evaluate the role corrections plays in prevention and response to the type of abuse you chose in Module 02(CHILD ABUSE IN MINNESOTA). First, conduct scholarly research to examine the role corrections has in preventing the type of abuse. Provide a thorough summary supported with research of at least two prevention efforts used by corrections. Keep in mind this could be efforts to reduce recidivism. Next, provide a thorough summary of the correctional system’s response to the type of abuse. What role does corrections play in responding to this type of abuse? What policy recommendations or statutory requirements are used to guide the response? These could be treatment options as well as other sanctions. Finally, conduct research to expose the challenges of these prevention efforts and responses. Incorporate at least one challenge to a prevention effort discussed and one challenge of response. This section of the assignment should meet APA formatting guidelines and incorporate at least two scholarly sources (from the library databases). Here is the section of the outline provided in the Project Introduction of Module 01 that provides a breakdown of what should be included in this segment:

   1. Statutory requirements and/or policy recommendations
   2. Supported with research
4. Discussion of challenges faced by corrections
   1. One challenge of prevention efforts
      1. Supported with research
   2. One challenge of response

Critical Thinking: 

Complete the following steps and then discuss your findings in a 900- to 1,200-word paper: 

1. On the website for MindTools, Inc., read through Hofsteade’s Cultural Dimensions. 

2. Then, toward the bottom of the website, under “Apply This to Your Life,” click on the scores by country link. 

3. Choose two countries and compare them, based on Hofstede’s Five Dimensions of Culture, and discuss how the different dimensions in each country relate to leadership. 

4. For this assignment, you will need to write in the third person. Refer to the handouts and templates you used for the first Critical Thinking assignment in Week 2 in developing your effective and well-formatted paper. Be sure your paper follows APA style according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements. 

Hofsteade’s Cultural Dimensions

scores by country

Please read the two articles below, then answer the following questions comprehensively:

1. Read the article and complete the survey instrument which Dr. Blessman and colleagues administered to employees of a local health department prior to a training event (last two pages of the Blessman article linked above). Most of you will walk away from this exercise dismayed that you have not performed better. That’s part of the solution to the problem–enlightenment. Briefly discuss how you did on the survey, why you think you performed well or poorly, and what you think you can and will do to improve. There is no correct answer here, but the results will generate their own discussion.

2. Read the Noji article on public health and disasters. Do the myths that he puts forth apply to regional disasters in the United States or other developed countries or only national-level disasters in third world countries? Support your opinions with some examples from history. Include references.

Important notes:

– please use APA format for citation.

Identify a message you have received from one or more of your institutions of socialization (family, media, school, religion, peers), about a culturally subordinate group in the United States to which you do not belong (i.e. “Women are not as good at sports as men,” or “Pacific Islanders are friendly.”) Analyze the origins and effects of this message.

4 discussion replies. I will copy and paste what you need to reply to. Each needs to be at least 120 words, with propers references. Just put them in a document and number them just like I did here. They do not all go together.

1) The Wireless Transport Layer Security is also known as WTLS is the security layer of the Wireless Application Protocol. This layer provides encryption, authentication and data integrity for wireless devices. WTLS is widely implemented in wireless devices because there were problems such as limited processing power an low band width. The communication between the WAP client and the WAP server is protected by WTLS. Wireless transactions like those used between a user and their bank require encryption to ensure data is protected an secure. This makes perfect sense to me because I have always been cautious and some what insecure about transactions and information I submit on my mobile devices.

2) ypes of Clouds

There are four types of cloud technology within the cloud infrastructure; private cloud, public cloud, community cloud and hybrid cloud. A private cloud is a type of private infrastructure that is provided for the use by an organization. This organization typically has multiple consumers. This cloud is usually owned and managed by the organization itself and can be located on or off premises. A public cloud is a cloud infrastructure that is capable of being used by the general public. This type of cloud may be owned by a certain company but is not located on site; it is located at the provider’s location. An example of this type of cloud is online document sharing/collaboration. A community cloud is somewhat like a private cloud in that it is designed to service a “private” group. The community cloud is more for use by a specific community of consumers that have shared concerns. This cloud can be managed or owned by on of the organizations in the community or even a third party. The last of the cloud models is the hybrid cloud. This cloud is basically a combination of two or more of the other cloud infrastructures. In other words, any combination of private, public and community cloud is considered a hybrid cloud.

3) A sandbox is a tightly controlled environment where programs can be run. Sandboxes restrict what a piece of code can do, giving it just as many permissions as it needs without adding additional permissions that could be abused. For example, your web browser essentially runs web pages you visit in a sandbox. They’re restricted to running in your browser and accessing a limited set of resources so that they can’t view your webcam without permission or read your computer’s local files. If websites you visit weren’t sandboxed and isolated from the rest of your system, visiting a malicious website would be as bad as installing a virus.

4) good security administrator never trusts a software/system vendor in their claims regarding security. When a system or software is acquired, administrators must read and fully understand the technical aspect of acquired asset. Once completed, the acquired asset must undergo “overhaul” in order to customize it to organizational needs. This would include disabling unneeded services, applying least privilege access, installing updates that may have come available since purchase of asset, and testing the asset for any vulnerabilities not previously identified.

The acquired asset must undergo numerous tests in test environment for determined period of time prior to deployment in production environment. As chapter 6 discussed, systems must be tested for fuzzing techniques (as in databases) to ensure system is capable of preventing unexpected responses that may cause disruption of productivity.
