1. Walls, Fencing, and Gates: Oldest but one of the most reliable methods of keeping unauthorized individuals from gaining access to resources. The NWU has two main gates at the entrance of the university. To enter the gate you must have student card. There are roller gates at the computer facilities on the top floor where a student needs to swipe his or her student card in order to gain access. The NWU also have walls and fencing around the campus. This is extremely relevant to keep unauthorized users outside the university and play a big role in improving the security.
2. Guards: Unlike walls and fences which are static guards can analyze different situations and act accordingly. At the main entrance of the university there is always a guard at the gate. If a student forgets his or her student card the guard can identify the individual and open or not open the gate. However this system can be improved – Sometimes the guards open the gate too easily and sometimes the guards do not always check a cars boot on the way out (there can be a stolen computer inside the boot). This is relevant in order to make sure unauthorized people stay outside of the university and no resources get stolen for example a computer. This certainly contributes to improving the overall security.
3. ID cards and Badges: ID’s are normally concealed were a badge have a name and picture on. These can serve many purposes but in the university’s case they serve as a key card. The university uses a badge type system and they are called student cards. Student cards have each student’s name, surname, and student number printed on the front of the card. The card also contains a RFID tag inside which acts as a key for entering gates. They are very secure but can be i...

Controls that is not in place that can be considered
1. Dogs: Guard dogs are sometimes used when protecting valuable resources because of their keen sense of smell. For a university dogs is probably not the best way to improve security. There are too many people that move about throughout an entire day. It will maybe improve security at night. The money spend on guard dog is better off spend elsewhere to improve security.
2. Mantraps: Can be defined as a small enclosure with separate entry and exit points. The university has somewhat of a mantrap system with the roller gates and the hall but not completely (because the entry and exit is the same gate). A mantrap system can be implemented easily with almost no effort at all, but do not think it will quite work for a university setup.
When the members of the International Olympic Committee meet, it is required to show their identification cards at the gate.
National ID cards are applicable in countries all around the world, however, we can say that there exists a huge debate about their purpose and implications that it may provide. This debate has been around for as long as ID cards have been issued, due to different perspectives that people have towards them. For this reason, we have 2 big groups; those who are against ID cards and those who are for them. Since we are in a democratic society, everyone is allowed to have its own unique way of thinking, so it has been mentioned and talked from a lot of people, including writers. William Safire is one of the writers that will be mentioned in this essay as well as Alan Dershowitz. They both state their own perception of ID cards with arguments for
Populous places such as shopping malls or airports contain metal detectors in all the exits but in schools they are not necessary. People think they wont change much and they can be added to the school without any negative effects but they disrupt the school much more than that. The article discusses, “The weapon detection program requires 9 security officers for approximately 2 hours
Currently, in most universities, students are not allowed to carry any type of defense mechanisms. Pepper spray, tasers, and guns are meant to protect individuals
8. Is there a University police force or is the campus under the jurisdiction of the local police force? (Yes, the college has five security officers.)
In light of recent acts of violence in the nation’s schools, school safety and security have become a hot topic. However, the issue of school safety goes beyond student violence. It includes property damage, theft, and anything else that concerns the overall well being of schools. While it is important to create a safe environment in schools it is also necessary to make sure students feel comfortable in this atmosphere. The security can not be so overbearing that it becomes a negative tactic that gets in the way of the students main objective, learning. Barely noticeable cameras, ID cards, and security guards without uniforms can help generate this safe, but comfortable learning environment. On the other hand metal detectors and mini police forces may be a little too reminiscent of George Orwell’s novel, 1984, or even modern prisons. School security should not be overbearing or obtrusive where it gets in the way of a comfortable environment that is conducive to learning in the nation’s schools.
Three walls of the house. One toilet seat and one toilet. Bars made of mild steel and a lock only accessible to men who government calls authority figures. Prison systems are known for three things: to protect the people, to punish the criminal and to rehabilitate the prisoner so that a crime will not be further committed. However, it has been causing ongoing controversy on whether or not it has been stripping away the earned rights of citizens or indeed helping them become “better” for society.
Campus crime has become a more significant area of research, with much of the literature focusing on specific areas such as binge drinking, whether university police should carry weapons, overa...
College campuses have been known to be popular breeding grounds for rumors. Ask any college student walking around a typical campus for the latest gossip, and they may flood you with more stories, quips, and anecdotes than you may have ever asked for. Some of these stories lead to codes and rules for living safely on campus, as urban legends about campus-related murders and crimes begin to circulate more frequently. In addition, these stories may deal with some supernatural elements. With the increased security alerts nationwide, caution is exercised in all circumstances and a bit of the anxiety and security alerts have spread to American colleges as well.
Except for the main entrance, which was only used by guests (it was off limits to students), all of the doors to the building had metal detectors.
Crime and fear of crime on campus are major concerns for college students, parents, administrators, and policymakers. Students must feel comfortable living on or at least walking on campus. College populations may be more at risk of sexual assault than the general population because they are in the age group that experiences the most rape generally and because they participate in many dating and social activities. In addition, substance use of all kinds is common among college students and it increases risk of victimization by reducing the aptitude to battle unwanted situations. Yet the majority of college students are not victimized. Fear of crime can stem from many things, either the population size, neighborhood you are in, age, gender, and even your ethnicity. There is much curiosity that is growing with wanting to understand the level of fear on campuses at Universities all around the world. Questions such as what constitutes this fear or how safe is the university are essential.
Which can be having armed officers walk though halls, making sure the school is safe from any harm that could potentially happen.
Well there are a lot of different options by which we can get a premises secured. However the following three options of surveillance are probably best for physical surveillance:
The overall recommendation of "…the use of such identification badges to all of our clients." sounds reasonible. A closer look at the conclusion that identification badges alone will resolve the greater issue of employee theft is difficult to support with the amount and type of data given. In today's complex business environment, an identification badge would not address much greater corporate assets and their protection. To the technology industry for ...
...h there were a number of rooms separated and specified for certain activities, it is not enough. Each of them has a potential of risk, and again that is as a result of their ignorance. Nonetheless, if they work more concentrating on personal and place hygiene. Inspection and observation for everything including documents and records. The more improvement they will get.
