Jimmy Richardson is a 15-year-old Centervale high school freshman with no past criminal history. He currently works part-time at a local retail establishment. The local police believe Richardson is involved with a local gang. They also suspect him of having used drugs in school.

Richardson and a friend are caught stealing $150 from a local gas station. The arresting officer smells alcohol on both Richardson and his friend. Richardson expresses regret for his actions and comments to the police and the court staff that he has been depressed lately because of his parents’ impending divorce.

The judge presiding over Richardson’s case decides to place Richardson on probation instead of sentencing him to confinement. However, before this sentence can be finalized, a document called a probation agreement needs to be prepared and authorized by the court. Essentially, a probation agreement is a contract of sorts between the probationer, the probationer’s parents (in the case of juvenile probation), and the judge, and it outlines what is expected of the juvenile while on probation.

Elements of the probation agreement generally include basic information about the defendant (his or her name, the court out of which the defendant is serving his or her probation, and the offense). Other common elements are the general conditions of probation, which are the terms, rules, and guidelines required of all probationers (these are typically the same for all probation agreements within a particular jurisdiction), and special conditions of probation, which are terms specific to each individual probationer. Special conditions of probation are based on the circumstances pertaining to the defendant’s arrest and conviction.

Tasks:

You are a juvenile probation officer assigned to Richardson’s case. Using the template provided, prepare a probation agreement for the adjudicating judge to review.

Write two different stories about my self. it should contain about something happened and it changed my life. (Writing stimuli) for example: when I got F in school, my father did not allow to me to travel with him. So I have to get A to travel with him next summer.

 

In this course, you have been introduced to ethics, social problems, and social policy. This assignment will prompt action from you to help resolve a social issue. You must learn about a problem, find a piece of legislation addressing your concern, and act to help solve the problem.

 

Using the textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, do the following:

 

1. Identify the Problem

 

Select and research a social issue based on the course readings or personal interest.

 

Then, address the following:

 

• Define and describe the social issue in detail using a variety of relevant outside sources.
• Explain the social context of the social issue.
• Identify and describe ethical concerns related to the social issue.
• Determine what population is most impacted by the social issue.

 

2. Find the Legislation

 

Use credible government sources to find and learn about a piece of legislation related to your chosen social problem or issue.

 

Then, address the following:

 

• Explain how the piece of current legislation relates to the social problem or issue. Make sure you provide a description of the piece of legislation.

 

3. Write an Advocacy Letter

 

In order to help resolve the social issue, you must take action. Identify your elected representative(s) and find their contact and e-mail addresses.

 

Write an advocacy letter regarding the piece of legislation and your support of or opposition to it.

 

The purpose of an advocacy letter is to support or oppose the legislation that affects a social issue of concern to you. This letter is a way for representatives to stay in touch with the constituents they represent. The letter consists of a brief introduction identifying and addressing the social issue of concern (through personal experience, if applicable), an identification of the piece of current legislation that addresses your chosen issue, and your request advocating your representative to support or oppose the legislation.

 

Be sure to address the following in your letter:

 

• Identify the purpose of your letter.
• Identify House bill (HR) or Senate bill (S) number of the legislation.
• Briefly summarize the social problem or issue.
• Explain the importance of the legislation as it relates to your issue.
• Advocate for or against the legislation in a knowledgeable and respectful tone. This includes the following:
  • Evaluating the proposed impact of the legislation on target population
  • Proposing possible ways the legislation can influence the social problem or issue

 

Download and review samples of advocacy letters. Use either of the sample letters as a template for your own letter.

Social engineering attacks are the most prevalent types of attacks against IT systems. This is primarily due to the fact that they directly attack the weakest link in any IT system…the users. While there are many ways to lock down, or secure data residing on a computer or other device, securing data held in the brains of users is difficult to secure for a number of reasons. People have the ability to reason and even redefine rules, while computers do not. If you tell a computer to not allow access to a particular file by a particular user, the computer will do just that. However, a human can be tricked into giving up all sorts of information, often without even knowing that they have done so.

For this lab, you will conduct a social engineering audit on various social media websites. Almost every social engineering attack begins with the collection of data. The aim of collecting this data is to discover ways in which the target of the attack can be tricked into giving up potentially valuable information. This initial data can take many forms: birth dates, addresses, user names, pictures, phone numbers, names of co-workers or relatives, and much more. Often times this seemingly innocent data can be used to either directly impersonate someone the target trusts, or to build a collection of data which can be used to know more about the movements, personality, or general life of the target

 

 

Instruction: Please solve following 10 questions (show the detailed works). Each question is accounted for 10 points. There is 20% deduction for untyped homework. This homework is due at 11:59 pm on Sept. 14, 2015.

1. Consider a coupon bond that has a $1,000 par value and a coupon rate of 12% The bond is currently selling for $1,280 and has 12 years to maturity. What is the bond’s yield to maturity?
2. Consider a bond that promises the following cash flows.
   Year :                         0     1       2      3       4
   Promised Payments:     150   170   210   260
   Assuming all market interest rates are 14%, what is the duration of this bond?
3. You are willing to pay $25,000 now to purchase a perpetuity which will pay you and your heirs $2,200 each year, forever, starting at the end of this year. If your required rate of return does not change, how much would you be willing to pay if this were a 15-year, annual payment, ordinary annuity instead of a perpetuity?
4. 4. The demand curve and supply curve for bonds are estimated using the following equations:

Demand: P = – (5/6)Q + 1400

Supply:   P = (1/3)Q + 700

As the stock market continued to rise, the Federal Reserve felt the need to increase the interest rates. As a result, the new market interest rate increased to 14%, but the equilibrium quantity remained unchanged. What are the new demand and supply equations? Assume parallel shifts in the equations.

5. 5. The one-year interest rate over the next 10 years will be 3%, 4.5%, 6%, 7.5%, 9%, 10.5%, 13%, 14.5%, 16%, 17.5%. Using the pure expectations theory, what will be the interest rates on a 4-year bond, 7-year bond, and 10-year bond?
6. 6. A bank has two, 3-year commercial loans with a present value of $80 million. The first is a $30 million loan that requires a single payment of $37.8 million in 3 years, with no other payments until then. The second is for $50 million. It
   requires an annual interest payment of $4.5 million. The principal of $50 million is due in 3 years. The general level of interest rates is 7%. What is the duration of the bank’s commercial loan portfolio?
7. One-year T-bill rates are 3% currently. If interest rates are expected to go up after 4 years by 3% every year, what should be the required interest rate on a 10-year bond issued today?
8. Calculate the present value of a $1,000 zero-coupon bond with 8 years to maturity if the required annual interest rate is 12%.
9. Calculate the duration of a $1,000, 5% coupon bond with three years to maturity. Assume that all market interest rates is 8% for next three years.
10. An economist has estimated that, near the point of equilibrium, the demand curve and supply curve for bonds can be estimated using the following equations:
    Demand: P =-(2/7)Q + 1000

Supply: P = (1/7)Q + 700

1. What is the expected equilibrium price and quantity of bonds in this market?
   b. Given your answer to part (a), which is the expected interest rate in this market?
