On Monday, June 5, 2017, at 3:00 p.m., the investigator canvassed the neighborhood where the insured, Mr. Jefferey Alejos’s boat was vandalized on April 29, 2017. Out of six houses which were near as to where the loss occurred, we could contact three homeowners within the neighborhood who provided their opinions and observations of what may have taken place on the date of loss. The residents who wanted to provide their statements requested anomaly because they do not want for the insured to retribute against them and their families legally. At 3:15 p.m., Mr. George Myllo who resides at 6000 Lorelei Avenue, Lakewood, CA 90712 answered the door knock at his front door. Mr. Myllo claimed he has been living at his residence for forty years. He
That very night an old man knocked on the door of the silver smith’s house.
“Various animals build shelters but only humans built homes. (Pg. 1)” The word home evokes so many emotions and mental image of past and future. At the end of the day there is no greater comfort then going home. Yet in our daily hustle and bustle and hectic schedule we seldom take time to appreciate the most age old technology that keep us safe and provide comfort. From the basic shelter and cave dwelling of the earliest humans to the modern concrete jungle of the present, humans have move past the simple shelter. Technology has allowed us to build modern homes in various shapes and sizes but this technology follows thousands of years of footstep. The author did not just catalog different structures and domicile of human history but told a story of what these structure means to us. Moore starts off on a dig site searching for archaic structures. Moore explains how humans just don’t build shelter like most animals, human homes signifies social status, comfort, shelter and creativity. Moore uses the famous multimillion dollar house of Aaron Spelling in Hollywood as an example of how extravagant our humble dwelling can be. Human homes are different shapes and sizes and often build with different material and standard based on geographical location. I believe A Prehistory of Homes is a book about the history of technology because it is written about one of the most essential invention of human evolution. Human went from caves to build our own shelter. It allowed us to be mobile and become a foraging creature. The author addresses the most commonly shared interest and provides knowledge, history and relation to past and future of our homes.
On 04-29-16 at approximately 0951 hours, I was dispatched to 120 W. Bellevue Drive regarding a grand theft auto report. Upon my arrival, I contacted Victim Richard Henry Garcia, who told me the following:
Throughout one’s working life, its highly probable that ethical dilemmas will arise in professional practice in one form or another. Ethical dilemmas bare their heads in many different fashions, including: “…competing ethical principles; empathic failures due to cultural misunderstanding; language gaps; inadequate cultural training to serve a certain population, and so on” (Zoltan, 2016). In the personal experience of this reporter, Claymore Residential Home, a corporately run rehabilitative community for adults with intellectual and cognitive impairment, presents the gravest example of ethical dilemmas. It was a workplace lead by autocrats cloaked in professional titles and facades of altruism. Ethical dilemmas emanated from the top of the hierarchy and trickled throughout the organization.
A group of young, Indigenous adults along with Colten Boushie were consuming alcohol during the day and attempted to break and enter a truck on a nearby farm. They were unsuccessful in following through on their attempt to commit breaking and entering due to a flat tire. In an effort to find help, this group went to the Stanley property in hopes of getting help with a flat tire. Gerald Stanley believed that his ATV was being stolen and fired warning shots believing it would scare the young adults away. When Stanley reached into the vehicle to take the keys, he claims that ‘his gun “just went off”’ (Graveland, 2018).
...he situation. When investigating the theft, they should perform a cost-benefit analysis, and then use both physical and testimonial fact gathering to uncover the culprit.
Now you are going to take a look at the preventive behaviours of victimized and not victimized groups. It is obvious that in many cases the lack of protective measurements contributed somewhat to victimization. If you make a comparison between the two groups, you can see that at the time of the crime burglary victims had fewer household security measurements than not victimized. (Weinstein, 1989) As you can see there is no guarantee when or who is going to be victimized. Many will think that burglary victims’ experience does not deserve to be examined, but they are wrong. The main reason is that households are something sacred, where a family stores its memories, documents and everything else that no one different from family member deserves to see. This mean that these victims do not deserve invaded homes.
Overall, we are seeing an increase in assault/battery incidents (25%) auto thefts (17%) and financial crimes (25%). For the purpose of this assignment, I will focus on auto thefts. Motor vehicle theft is a serious property crime that accounts for 10% of all property offenses reported each year (Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI], 2009). Owners reported to police nearly one million stolen vehicles or one out of every 267 registered vehicles nationwide (FBI, 2009: Federal Highway Administration, 2009). Nationwide auto theft clearance rates by arrest averages 12%. (Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI],
The American dream is viewed in today’s world as working to make the newest technology and make life as easy as possible. This house embodies that ideal; however, it has turned into the American Nightmare. There is no work needed to be put in by this family to keep the house running. The house is the “human” working. It has taken over the American Dream. The home feels like a human would, but continues its tasks even after a revelation of emptiness. This building continues throughout the story to show its humanity and its willingness to survive.
The NCVS was designed with four primary objectives: (1) to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime, (2) to estimate the number and types of crimes not reported to the police, (3) to provide uniform measures of selected types of crimes, and (4) to permit comparisons over time and types of areas. The survey categorizes crimes as "personal" or "property." Personal crimes cover rape and sexual attack, robbery, aggravated and simple assault, and purse-snatching/pocket-picking, while property crimes cover burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and vandalism. The data from the NCVS survey are particularly useful for calculating crime rates, both aggregated and disaggregated, and for determining changes in crime rates from year to year.
Rental personal watercraft were involved in 43 percent of personal watercraft accidents statewide (but the author wonders why authorities pay close attention to these rented vessels).
Arson is one of the oldest crimes recognized throughout the world. It is defined as the intentional and malicious burning of a structure or building (Montaldo). Arson can cost the lives of individuals and the damages can be costly. In 2010, there were about 260,600 fires (“Arson and Intentional Fires,” n.d.). Many of these fires were intentionally set. These fires have resulted in an estimated 390 deaths, 1,340 injuries, and $1.2 billion in damages (“Arson and Intentional Fires,” n.d.). Most of the fires have occurred outside, but most of the deaths, injuries, and losses occurred in structures, particularly in homes (“Arson and Intentional Fires,” n.d.). Arson is considered to be a property crime to law enforcement agencies, despite that the fires created by the arsonist can injure and kill many people. This paper will discuss the history of arson as well as explaining why arson is difficult to prove, why people commit it, and also provides specific case examples and suggestions on what people can do to reduce the risk of arson.

When it comes to theft, losing your personal belongings is not the only consequence of stealing; however, the psychological and physical trauma in victims, not mentioning the pervasive fear and anxiety, stays in their minds the rest of their lives Two years ago, my family and I used to live in a town house 5 minutes away from Dolphin Mall. Our house used to have a front wooden fence next...
