Artefact 2 requires that students write a report in response to a criminal event/offence type (see https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/30/teenager-and-man-killed-in-triple-stabbing-in-north-london-archway-islington) . Use the offence type introduced, you are required to recommend a criminal justice response for the offence. The focus can be on the offender(s), the victim(s), the police/courts, or the prison or probation service. 
The report will have 4 components:
Summary of the case study
An explanation for why this offence happened using a psychological theory/approach 
Identification of an alternative psychological theory that could be used to explain the offence 
Evidence-based recommendations for practice based on your chosen focus – so if you are looking at the offender, what are the treatment/punishment recommendations? If you are looking at the police/courts, what needs to be considered when prosecuting? If you are looking at the victim, how can we support them through the criminal justice system and beyond?
Additional information:

A manager of an emergency response team is responsible for emergency management services and resources. Their duties include routinely planning for responses to incidents that require communication with law enforcement agencies at multiple levels. For a city to host sizeable events, it needs to establish working relationships between agencies to execute incident response plans successfully.
Emergency management is not the sole responsibility of one individual government or private organization. The federal government and each state, along with its different counties and cities, share the responsibility for planning, managing, and responding to disaster events within their jurisdictions. Private sector organizations also play a vital role in augmenting government agencies during disaster recovery. When these organizations come together to manage an emergency, a standard is required to ensure that each organization works effectively with the others and has a shared understanding of key terms and response options for managing incidents effectively. FEMA established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to standardize how personnel from multiple agencies plan and work together during and following an emergency incident.
ScenarioA city in your state of residence is planning to host a concert that is expected to bring in several thousand people for the event. City planners will be managing the security and emergency services during the concert and will be meeting with the other agencies involved to finalize the plan for the event. Before they do, they have asked local agencies to present their plans for responding to different incidents that may occur. As the manager at your agency, you have been tasked with presenting information on a specific type of incident for the city to consider during their emergency management preparations.
PreparationReview the FEMA EMI Course IS-700B: An Introduction to The National Incident Management System (NIMS) from Week 1 to become familiar with NIMS concepts, principles, and components.
Select a real city in your state that might host such an event. You may select a real or fictitious concert to use as an example, or you may focus on planning for a general concert situation.
Select an example of an incident likely to occur during the concert. Choose an incident with a realistic risk level that justifies having a city-level emergency response plan ready. Research standard procedures for responding to this kind of emergency incident.
Examples of realistic incidents include fights or riots, crowd surges or stampedes, active shooters or terrorist attacks, bomb threats or detonations, or fire or structural failures.
Select a real or fictitious agency that would be responsible for handling the type of incident you selected. Research the protocols that such an agency is likely to follow in this situation.
Assessment DeliverablePrepare a plan for responding to the type of incident you selected as if you were presenting to the city’s emergency service planners who will be managing the security and emergency services for the concert.
Using information from your research, create a 10- to 12-slide presentation as if you were an agency’s emergency planning manager explaining the relationships between governmental organizations using effective emergency management to respond to an incident that might occur during an event.
Include the following in your analysis of the relationships between emergency management agencies responding to an incident at a large event such as a concert:
Summarize the details of the example situation and incident that you selected. Identify the government agencies involved in managing emergency services for such an incident during this kind of event.
Explain how the government agencies plan to work together during the event if the incident should occur. Include the chain of command and standard policies and procedures used to manage this kind of incident.
Describe how the government agencies plan to communicate with each other during the emergency. Summarize the roles and responsibilities of each agency that would be involved in this kind of incident.
Identify the required FEMA training agencies may need to be ready to facilitate effective emergency response and communication during the event. Explain how management, communication, and collaboration between agencies during the incident align with the guidelines in the National Response Framework.
Cite at least 2 scholarly sources in your presentation as evidence to support your explanation.

It’s supposed to be an persuasive business email, following the 5-paragraph structure of an essay, intriguing people to support the Law enforcement and learn more about the criminal justice system in their town.

For this discussion, consider the business you selected for your course project. Pretend that while you were working to perform a risk assessment on the organization the unthinkable occurred – you discover it has been hacked (and may, in fact, still be under attack). At this moment, you have no idea how long this has been going on, the level of damage, the persistence of the hack, and what (if anything) has been compromised. You have learned that some hackers may gain access to network resources and stay relatively inactive until there is something of value to steal or exploit. Other hackers seek to embarrass or steal quickly, hoping to benefit immediately from the access gained. You do not know which type of situation you have, what type of hacker(s) you are dealing with, if it is a lone instance, or if there are multiple exploits across your organization’s vast network.
Now consider you found a way to answer at least some of these questions quickly. While you may not have all the answers, you have identified some characteristics of this hack and need a plan to move forward. Moving forward includes isolating all access and compromised systems, identifying hacking methods (what was successful and what was not), and determining if the hack is a compromise that must be reported per the governance required of your type of business or industry.
Create a basic plan of how you would identify the extent of the damage/access/breach.
Who/what has hacked your organization?
What was the goal?
What can you do to immediately triage the organization’s network?
What specific steps can be taken?
Who should be notified?
Do you alert your customers/patients/students/stakeholders?
***The selected line of business for my course project is digital forensics.***

I need a paper on research and capstone related to a theoretical background on prison population density to include the causes and effects of that topic. 

For the organization you selected in Module 1: Case Study Milestone 1, consider your answers to Discussion 4: You’ve Been Hacked! Craft a summary including the details of the breach and what you and the organization are doing to identify, isolate, and remedy that hack. Executive summaries are brief summary statements that are clearly and plainly written to show upper management the main points of a situation so that they need not read an entire report or brief on a matter. Imagine that you only have one hour to brief the entire organizational board (CEO, CSO, CFO, etc.) on the situation and they will need part of that hour to ask questions on what you present. This is not a paper. It is a very brief, complete (including what you do and do not know) statement of the situation up to this point in time.
Consider the elements from the discussion question:
You discover the organization had been hacked (and may still be under attack).
You have no idea how long this has been going on, the level of damage, the persistence of the hack, and what (if anything) has been compromised.
You have learned that some hackers may gain access to network resources and stay relatively inactive until there is something of value to steal or exploit. Other hackers seek to embarrass or steal quickly, hoping to have immediate benefit from the access gained. You do not know which type of situation you have, what type of hacker(s) you are dealing with, if it is a lone instance or if there are multiple exploits across your organization’s vast network.
You found a way to answer at least some of these questions quickly. While you may not have all the answers, you have identified some characteristics of this hack and need a plan to move forward, which must include isolation of all access and compromised systems, identification of hacking methods used (i.e. what was successful and what was not), and if the hack is a compromise that must be reported per the governance required of your type of business or industry. Share your basic plan for identifying the extent of the damage/access/breach. Who/what has hacked your organization? What was the goal? What can you do to immediately triage the organization’s network? What specific steps can be taken? Who should be notified? Do you alert your customers/patients/students/stakeholders?
The following resource may be helpful in learning what to include and what tone to use for the summary of the hack. It also shows how to write a marketing executive summary but much of the basics and mechanics apply to the summary of the hack. https://www.inc.com/guides/2010/09/how-to-write-an-executive-summary.html
***My chosen topic for my ongoing assignment is digital forensics. For continuity I’ve attached my module 1 case study as mentioned above. I’ve also attached my other two assignments to ensure the respective individuals are utilized for their chosen roles i.e. CEO, CSO etc.***
