Assignment:
1. VICTIMOLOGY
Training Program Development: Overview
Now that you have assessed the department's and community's understanding of crime victims' rights and conducted research on important best practices for training officers on victims' rights, you are ready to assist the training program director with development of an entry-level training plan and presentation regarding the topic of your choice. You will want to utilize your research from Project 1 and gaps in knowledge from Project 2 to guide your training concepts that you include for one of the following topics:
1. Intimate Partner Violence
2. Sexual Assault
3. Stalking
Training Program Development: Description
Your assignment requires that you submit the following training plan materials:
1. Training Lesson Plan
• The Lesson Plan is a written description of the training objectives, required topic areas to fulfill the training objectives, a presentation guide that includes trainers notes for each slide in the training, and supporting resources (cited in the Lesson Plan using an APA formatted Reference Page) (see real LE Victims' Rights Training Lesson Plan here: https://www.mdle.net/pdf/crimeviclesplan2012.pdf).
• The Lesson Plan must be 8 to 10 pages long and include instructor's notes for every slide in your Power Point presentation.
2. Training Power Point
• Your training module presentation should provide content consistent with your Lesson Plan that covers the following information:
o Training Objectives;
o Icebreaker activity (something that engages the audience immediately);
o Overview of the crime (prevalence rates, history, changes in laws over time, impact the crime has on the overall community);
o Barriers for victims in reporting and seeking assistance;
o Challenges for criminal justice professionals in responding to the crime, investigations, etc.;
o Best practices for law enforcement and community response to these victims;
o Any applicable requirements for first responders and law enforcement in the relevant jurisdiction;
o Applicable victims' rights and resources; and
o Conclusion activities (something to close out the training and summarize the learning objectives).
• Your training module consists of both the Lesson Plan and PowerPoint slides.
2. CYBERCRIME AND SECURITY
Briefing Project
Read the following scenario and use it as the basis for your answers to the associated essay questions:
Scenario
You are an information system security professional for CCS International, a company that provides IT personnel for a variety of government and private contracts. The organization to which you are currently contracted hires a new chief security officer (CSO) after the previous CSO retires. Although the new CSO is in charge of security for the organization's data assets, networks, and computer systems, her background and most recent experience is in physical security, and she knows very little about information security. Your manager explains that you have been assigned the task of preparing an information brief for the new CSO, which will provide her with the basics of cyber security, acquaints her with the current threats facing your organization's data infrastructure, and the legal issues related to protecting the enterprise. Prepare a slide presentation covering (at a minimum) the following topics:
• What is cyber security, and what are some of its key concepts?
• What are the most significant threats to your data, and what are some of the root causes of those threats?
• Are cyber criminals a real danger to your enterprise? Why or why not?
• What is risk management, and how can the risk management process help you protect your infrastructure and data?
• What are some computer security best practices that you would recommend, and how will they help protect your IT assets?
• If your organization does become a victim of a cyber-crime or a security incident, how will you respond? What types of evidence would be important to your investigation, and how would they be used? What would law enforcement's role be in your incident response plan?
• Are there any laws at the local, state, federal, or even international level that protect your organization by imposing penalties on cyber criminals? Provide at least one example of a cyber-crime court case and explain both its outcome and its significance.
• What do you need from the CSO to best protect your organization? Justify your requests.
Assignment
Prepare a 15 to 20 slide presentation addressing the scenario and covering the topics above. Ensure that you create a title slide for your presentation (not included in the 15- to 20-slide count) displaying your name, the course title, and the date of submission. Be sure to use a background and fonts appropriate for your meeting with the CSO.
Prepare a script to go along with the slide presentation that could be read to provide an in-depth discussion of the topics highlighted on the slides. Research the topics above, using your textbook, information provided in class, and resources provided by the UMUC library or textbooks from previous courses. Your script should be written in an academic format, should be logically organized (e.g., introduction, body, and conclusion), and should include the following:
• a cover page with your name, the course title, and the date of submission
• an introductory section that explains the purpose of the presentation
• the body of the paper, addressing the topics discussed in your slides
• a conclusion section that summarizes your discussions
• a References page in which you reference the text or other sources, which must be properly documented and cited, using APA formatting
The script must be a minimum of 10 double-spaced, computer-generated pages in length, using a 12-point font, with 1-inch page margins (top, bottom, right, and left). There must also be a cover page and a References page; these two pages will not count toward the required page total.
