Criminal Organization Legislation

Assignment: Criminal Organization Legislation

Combating gangs and organized crime groups is a daunting task for a variety of reasons, one of which is the lack of cooperation from witnesses in criminal investigations. Witnesses are often hesitant to testify against gang members and organized crime figures because they fear that they or their family will be harmed. With little help from witnesses, the criminal justice system tends to rely heavily on legislation created through local, state, and federal bodies. For example, legislation such as the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute and even the U.S. Patriot Act is designed to target existing gangs and organized crime groups, levying hefty sentences on those convicted. Other legislation is designed to deter crimes committed by gangs and organized crime groups by targeting core issues that contribute to the development and proliferation of these groups.

 

For this Assignment, assume you have been asked to moderate an upcoming political debate between two candidates concerning crime. One area of concern, and a topic that will be addressed in the debate, is the sufficiency of current legislation to address gang and organized crime violence.

What are the consequences of short staffing in a hospital. How can management help reduce the number of patient to nurse ratio, also explain how over working can negatively effect the nurse in their daily life.

Scenario

Discussion

Scenario: You have just mentored a group of medical-surgical nurses on your unit through an EBP project aimed at addressing Hospital Associated Pressure Injury Rates, and your results were astounding! You want to disseminate your results quickly to let the world know of your team’s successes. The nurses know the results need to be disseminated internally, but are torn between submitting an abstract for a state-level organization, a national conference, or submit a manuscript to a journal for publication

  • Describe your next steps to disseminate this evidence internally.
  • Discuss how a masters prepared nurse would determine the best place to disseminate this information outside of the organization (externally).
