CJ 406 1-2 JOURNAL With the increased technological advances in criminology, the use of body cameras plays a significant role in the field. One of the pros of using body cameras is increased transparency. The front-facing screen displays footage in real-time as it is being recorded, and this will be appropriate evidence in a court of law. With such, the police department is likely to be open and transparent on how they relate with the community. Also, the use of cameras will likely reduce the use of force incidents; de-escalate violence and aggression while building community trust in
policing activities (Lum et al., 2020). However, body cameras can be of a disadvantage since they may invade the privacy of citizens and potentially expose victims as well as subject citizens to facial recognition software. On the other hand, body cameras tend to be expensive and may be
unreliable in many police departments (Davies, 2022). Police officers need to budget ancillary equipment, training and maintenance costs and therefore, managing body cameras each will be expensive. Body cameras can be a source of threat to police officers, and such may lead to a negative effect on their physical and mental health. There are several factors within the criminal justice system that are likely to impact the use of body cameras. For instance, areas such as law enforcement and courts are affected by standardization factors during the implementation of body-worn cameras in the sense that there need to be mandatory activation policies, including balancing of privacy and surveillance abilities on marginalized communities and efficiency in public footage access (President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, 2015). In other words, lack of standardization in the use of body cameras while implementation may be a source of inaccuracy when performing arrests and thus, courts depending on the evidence to give verdicts, may make wrong decisions. On the other hand, technology may not be perfect, just as the police operating it and the organizational context

governing its use, since they may not work well on key enforcement encounters and camera footage may disappear after an incident has occurred. Such incidents may impact the use of body
cameras. Elements of society have significantly contributed to the use of body cameras. For instance, based on social factors, body cameras are perceived to influence the faster resolution of
citizen complaints and lawsuits that are associated with allegations of excessive use of force and another form of police brutality. Considering that there is a cultural perception of police use of force, the use of body cameras provides a different picture since they improve police behavior and that of community members during encounters. Community policing focuses on bringing change to society. For such to happen, police officers need to first build community trust. In this way, body cameras are seen as a political factor in police reform that will be significant in improving policing.

Question #66: Lamar LLC is in the process of updating its revenues and receivables systems with the implementation of new accounting software. James Loden, Inc. is an independent information technology consultant who is assisting Tamar with the project. James has developed the following checklist containing internal control points that the company should consider in this new implementation:
Will all data entry clerks and accounting personnel have their own PCs with log‐in IDs and password protection?
Will different system access levels for different users be incorporated?
Will customer orders be received via the Internet?
Has the company identified an off‐site alternative computer processing location?
Does the project budget include line items for an upgraded, uninterrupted power source and firewall?
Required: In a two (2) page response, describe the control purpose for each point presented in the case.

Forensic Accounting: Unraveling Financial Deception
Forensic accounting stands as a specialized field within the broader domain of accounting,
with its primary focus on the detection and prevention of financial fraud. In a world where
financial crimes are increasingly sophisticated, forensic accountants play a crucial role in
unraveling complex financial transactions and uncovering deceptive practices. Their expertise
extends beyond traditional accounting methods, encompassing investigative techniques,
legal knowledge, and a deep understanding of financial systems.
Fraud Detection: Unmasking Deceptive Practices
One of the primary objectives of forensic accounting is to identify instances of fraud within an
organization or financial system. Forensic accountants employ a variety of techniques,
including data analysis, financial statement scrutiny, and interviews, to uncover irregularities
or anomalies that may indicate fraudulent activities. They delve into transactions, scrutinize…

Fraud Detection and Prevention in Civil Engineering - Brief Information
Step 1: Risk Assessment and Identification
Effective fraud detection and prevention begin with a comprehensive risk assessment. Civil engineering projects involve financial transactions, procurement processes, and contractual agreements, all of which are susceptible to fraud. Identifying potential risk areas, such as billing irregularities, fake invoicing, or unauthorized changes in project scope, is crucial.
Step 2: Implementation of Internal Controls
To prevent and detect fraud, civil engineering firms should establish robust internal controls. This includes segregation of duties, where no single individual has control over an entire process, and implementing stringent approval processes for financial transactions. Regular audits and monitoring mechanisms further enhance the effectiveness of internal controls.
Step 3: Employee Training and Whistleblower Programs

Systems Analysis
Consider the following dialogue between a systems professional, Joe Pugh, and a manager of a department targeted for a new information system, Lars Meyer: Pugh: The way to go about the analysis is to first examine the old system, such as reviewing key documents and observing the workers perform their tasks. Then we can determine which aspects are working well and which should be preserved. Meyer: We have been through these types of projects before and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised; we get a modified version of the old system. Pugh: Well, I can assure you that will not happen this time. We just want a thorough understanding of what is working well and what is not. Meyer: I would feel much more comfortable if we first started with a list of our requirements. We should spend some time up-front determining exactly what we want the system to do for my department. Then you systems people can come in and determine what…

Question 1The accounting information systems designed and installed in organizations are exposed not only to risks that emanate from users such as fraud, terrorisms, theft and other intentional acts for which control measures must be installed to check and minimize these risks, but also risks that emanate from natural disasters such as widespread flood, earthquake, fire, hurricanes, pandemic outbreak etc. which in most cases are uncontrollable or prevented. In this regard, organizations must have a disaster recovery plan (contingency plan) in place so that the full impact of a naturally occurring disaster can be absorbed to ensure business continuity.Discuss the contingency plans that must be in place before, during and after the outbreak of COVID-19 so that businesses can fully absorbed the pandemic to ensure business continuity.
