1 Pick A Single Offence Type That You Are Interested In Researching In Depth E G Mur 2759032

/in /by

1) Pick a single offence type that you are interested in researching in depth (e.g. murder, car theft, fraud, etc.)

2) Conduct research about your offence type, specifically looking at ideas/theories concerning why the crime occurs (causation) with regard to a particular criminology theory that we have covered during the semester (e.g. strain theory, biological determinism).

3) Select the theory that you think best explains why/how this offence occurs.

4) In your essay, you are required to explain the links between your chosen offence and the crime causation theory that you have selected. Outline the reasons why you think that this is the best explanatory model.

5) To strengthen your analysis, compare the best theory you have chosen with two other theories and discuss why it is the superior approach in explaining your offence. For example, you may decide that strain theory is a better explanatory model in accounting for car theft than labelling theory. Outline the reasons that you think this – do not simply tell the reader which is better – you must explain whyas well.

6) In your conclusion, suggest one potential policy response that may help reduce/address the crime that you have researched. This suggestion should be broadly consistent with your theoretical analysis. For example, if you have chosen serial murder and explained it with reference to biological determinism, you may suggest compulsory psychological screening for young offenders convicted of a violent offence.

Research essay Value: 40% Length: 2000 words The research essay is the major piece of work for the semester and marks the student’s debut as a junior criminologist. Each student will select one particular type of criminal offence (e.g. assault, car theft, financial fraud) and choose whichever criminology theory studied in the semester that can best explain it. The research essay requires students to conduct research about the chosen theory and offence using different academic sources, and analyse this research to explain the causes of crime. What to do: Pick a single offence type that you are interested in researching in depth (e.g. murder, car theft, fraud, etc.) Conduct research about your offence type, specifically looking at ideas/theories concerning why the crime occurs (causation) with regard to a particular criminology theory that we have covered during the semester (e.g. strain theory, biological determinism).

1 On November 2 201 7 Scannell Ltd Issued A 200 Million Five Year Maturity Cds Liabi 2843573

/in /by

1. On November 2, 2017, Scannell, LTD., issued a $200 million, five-year maturity CDs(liability) denominated in Dollars at an interest rate of 2.25 percent. The CDs pay interest annually and the principal value of $200 million at maturity. Also on November 2, 2017, Scannell invested $150 million in a Rouble (?)-denominated ten-year maturity loan with an annual interest rate of 11 percentand $50 million was invested in a ten-year maturity U.S. Treasury note with an interest rate of 2.34 percent. The Rouble denominated loan pays interest annually with the principal paid at maturity (remember this loan contract is denominated in Rouble (?)). The ten-year U.S. Treasury note pays interest semiannually. The exchange rate on November 2, 2017 was ?59.0141/$. The exchange rate on November 2, 2018 was ?66.0468/$. Market interest rates in the U.S. for four-year maturity CDs on November 2, 2018 are 2.50 percent, the current market yield to maturity for an 9-year maturity U.S Treasuries is 3.20 percent, and the interest rate on an 9-year maturity Russian loan increased from 11 percent on the loan when originated on November 2, 2017 to a market rate of 13 percent on November 2, 2018. Thus, values of both assets and liabilities decline since interest rates increased in both Russia and the U.S. Note that the values of each of the balance sheet assets and liabilities change because of changes in market interest rates, changing time to maturities and changes in exchange rates.Fill in the table below for the balance sheets in Dollars and Rouble (?). Since Scannell, LTD was exposed to both interest rate risk and exchange rate risk, what were the gains or losses resulting from interest rate changes, maturity changes and the gains or losses due to exchange rate changes?

1 Read The Elder Research And Unilever Case Studies And Note The Types Of Informatio 2031987

/in /by

1. Read the Elder Research and Unilever case studies and note the types of information they were able to extract from the text data. (We don’t quite have that amount of information available, or quite that level of software, so your conclusions won’t be quite as detailed.)

a. Elder Research Inc. (2013). Improving customer retention and profitability for a regional provider of wireless services. Retrieved from http://datamininglab.com/images/case-studies/ERI_nTelos_Customer_Retention_Case_Study.pdf

b. Jiffy Lube Uses OdinText Software to Increase Revenue. http://odintext.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/odinText-Shell.pdf . There’s also an interesting interview video here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/2Zxmjir8Zwo?autoplay=1

c. These case studies are for inspiration only; there is nothing to turn in from them.

2. Choose a readily available text item which recurred over at least three time periods, spaced some distance apart. You want to make sure you have at least several hundred words of text (approximately one – two pages) for each time period, and you want something which will change noticeably over that time period. Some options could include:

a. The CEO’s letter to shareholders (I do Amazon.com below as an example – you may choose any other company) in three different years.

b. The State of the Union Address (or other political speeches) from three different Presidents, such as those from Woodrow Wilson, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Barack Obama

c. A writeup of something technical (like descriptions of Motor Trend’s Car of the Year and Finalists) from 1950, 1980, and 2010.

d. Some industry writeup (such as PC Magazine’s best new computers for 1979, 1989, and 1999).

3. Match your timeline to the subject. For political speeches, you will get the best results if they are at least 50 years apart. For faster-changing items (such as the cellular phone user’s manual), you can probably get away with things 10 years apart. You will have a much easier time making good graphs if you give yourself good raw data to work with.

4. Select your desired number of time periods. You must have at least three, and can use as many as you like. (i.e. 2000, 2005, and 2010 would be three time periods.)

5. Take your text items for each year and convert them into a text input file.

6. Run a Python program to determine the top X word count for each year. You will need to determine how many words you are going to use in your analysis; you should probably have somewhere between 5 and 30.

a. You will need to make decisions about stop words.

b. Make sure the bulk of your text processing is done in Python, not using the “search/replace” functions in Excel or Word. Part of this class’ skillset is exposure to Python, and this is how you should do it here.

7. Merge your Python word count data into an input file for Tableau. You may find it helpful to use Excel or some other tool for this.

8. Analyze your data. Emphasis here will be placed on visual analysis and text analysis.

9. As part of your analysis, take the top 3 interesting relevant words from your latest time period. (You can use some judgment here; for Amazon, “kindle” would be more interesting than “book” even if “book” had more occurrences.) Trace the trajectory of each of these 3 words over time – for example, at Amazon, the word “kindle” gains tremendously in popularity over time.

10. Create a managerial report outlining your findings.

A successful report will

· Contain a title page and a list of references and pass a plagiarism check in Turnitin

· Begin with a results-filled Executive Summary (half a page to one page)

· Be otherwise 5-10 pages in length (I will stop reading after page 10). So if you have 1 title page, 1 list of references, and 1 page of Executive Summary, you could turn in up to 13 pages of stuff.

· Contain reasonable typeface and margins (12-point Times New Roman with 1-inch margins work just fine).

· Show mastery of the readings in the class to date

· Showcase your data visualization skills in Tableau, with up to 5 graphs (I will not look at a sixth or further graph)

· Contain a list of your top 3 words, with your reasons for choosing them, and trace their trajectory over time

· Analyze anything else you find interesting

· Integrate your charts with your conclusions

· Give a busy executive a clear path to follow in terms of action items and a “to do” list

Please submit:

· All Python code you used (it’s OK if you simply used or modified the code I have here; just ensure the comments reflect your name and what you did.)

· All .txt text input files you used (I imagine you might have one input file for each year)

· All Excel (or other format) input files you used for Tableau, so I can see how your data shaped up

· Your managerial report (ensure the bibliographic reference include the source data; my report should include a reference to the Amazon.com shareholder letter). Name this file “XXXX-text-analysis” where XXXX is your name.

Good luck!
