The Genesis of Crime
There are important practical applications of the theories
on criminal and deviant behavior that officers, detectives
and analysts must consider. Developing an understanding of
criminal behavior is a vital skill for those in law
enforcement. Criminal events from computer fraud to homicide
are made up of a triad of elements: a location, an offender,
and a target or victim. Ultimately, your task is to
understand and explain why the offender and victim
interacted in a space and why a crime then occurred. This
session demonstrates how knowledge of criminal behavior can
be applied in both tactical and strategic analyses and shows
how an integrated theoretical approach that examines
offender behavior, victim behavior and the places of the
crime can play a major role in patrol, investigation and
analyzing crimes.

stability of the organization and often its very existence
that the executive staff know how to properly access and

effects on personnel, assets and reputation. In close
consultation with your public relations representative or

help implement a crisis management framework for improving
media relations. This will include developing user-friendly

relations.

Planning

and identifying support functions is necessary to mitigate
the effects of emergency situations and to improve crisis
recovery. This training is directly geared toward

Risk Assessment
Methodology
Violence, vandalism, and terrorism are prevalent in the
world today. Managers and decision-makers must have a
reliable way of estimating risk to their facilities. Risk
assessment facilitates decision-making concerning the type
and levels of security that are required at various
facilities. A risk assessment methodology has been developed
and applied to assess risk at various types of facilities
including U.S. Mints and federal dams. The methodology is
based on the following risk equation.
The process begins with a characterization of the facility
including identification of the most likely undesirable
events and the respective critical assets. Guidance for
defining a design basis threat is included, as well as for
using the definition of the threat to estimate the
likelihood of adversary attack at a specific facility.
Relative values of consequence are then estimated. Methods
are also included for estimating the effectiveness of the
security system against the adversary attack. Finally, risk
is calculated. In the event that the value of risk is deemed
to be unacceptable (too high), the methodology addresses a
process for identifying and evaluating security system
upgrades needed to reduce risk.
-
Staffing Analysis
for Jails
In correctional settings the staffing costs are far and away
the largest line item in annual budgets. Staffing cost can
routinely require 25% of an organization's annual operating
budget. However, the lack of adequate staffing levels and
lack of forethought concerning human and fiscal resources
decreases security and safety within the facility and the
community and can result in costly litigation. In
correctional settings, effective operations and decreased
litigation and liability are directly related to adequate
staffing. Through proper training, your staff will be able
to conduct effective staffing analysis, profile your
facility, calculate total work hours, develop positional
schedules, calculate operational costs, and prepare,
implement and monitor a written plan of action.
-
Suicide
Prevention During Confinement
While suicides will never be totally eliminated, every
correctional facility and jail is responsible for monitoring
the health and welfare of its inmates and ensuring that
proper procedures to preserve life are followed. Providing
effective suicide prevention procedures and training can
greatly reduce the loss of life in addition to limiting
organizational liability. This suicide prevention training
focuses on identifying suicide risk factors, profiling the
typology of inmates who committed suicide, recognizing
potentially suicidal behavior, identifying and referring
suicidal inmates, and properly responding to suicide
emergencies.

"Criminal Logic". Criminal Investigation of sex crime
