CheckPoint: Don’t Count on it IT 205 Joel Balkum The FDCA project is an evolution into the technology age for the U.S. Census Bureau. Implementing handheld electronic devices improves the effectiveness of the collection process because it cuts down the use of paper for recording data‚ it replaces hardcopy maps that collectors would carry to find their way around‚ saves time and money‚ and makes staying organized easier to do which improves data quality and credibility. The problems that the

Briana Purifoy Effectiveness of Sobriety Checkpoints Special Problems in Criminal Justice Dr. Stone December 1‚ 2010 Abstract A good theoretical basis exists for believing that properly conducted sobriety checkpoints and campaigns‚ may reduce drunk driving‚ and data from multiple checkpoint programs support this belief. The courts have upheld the constitutionality of checkpoints‚ opposing those who believe them to violate the fourth amendment. Each year‚ more deaths result for alcohol-related

types of causation which are necessary to establish criminal liability. These are factual causation and cause in law (also known as legal causation). Factual causation means that the defendant can only be found guilty if the consequence would not have happened ‘but for’ the defendant’s conduct. This was seen in the case of Pagett (1982). Similarly‚ a defendant cannot be found guilty if the victim’s death was unrelated to the defendant’s actions (as in White‚ 1910). Legal causation‚ where the

The Spearman Correlation Coefficient remains one of the most important nonparametric measures of statistical dependence between two variables. The Spearman Correlation Coefficient facilitates the assessment of two variables using a monotonic function. This representation is only possible if the variables are perfect monotones of each other and if there are no repeated data values. This enables one to obtain a perfect Spearman correlation of either +1 or -1. The Spearman correlation coefficient nonparametric

liability is that not all ‘actus rei’ require an ‘act’‚ meaning it is possible for the accused to be liable for simply omitting/failing to act just as the defendant found in DPP v. Santana-Bermudez . The area of law concerning this question is causation which simply means that the defendant’s actions must have caused the required consequence. ‘It is necessary to show not only that the defendant performed an act‚ but that the act caused a particular consequence.’ At first glance this seems straightforward

Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient Pearson’s correlation coefficients are the most widely used method of measuring the degree of relationship between two variables. This coefficient assumes the following: That there is a linear relationship between the two variables; That the two variables are casually related which means that one of the variables is independent and the other one is dependent; and A large number of independent causes are operating in both the variables so as to produce a

Personality and Gender Correlation to Instrument Choice Introduction Do personality and gender correlate to instrument choice in band‚ orchestra‚ and chorus? I chose my research question because I have interest in psychology and music. Also while in band and chorus classes‚ I have seen stereotypes all over and I wonder if they were real. If personality correlates with instrument choice‚ then people could have the best instrument chosen for their personality. Gender Correlation Gender definitely correlates

3.6.2 Correlation Analysis Correlation analysis is one of the data analysis method use in quantitative research when researchers intended to examine the relationship between both variables (Research Methodology‚ n.d.). The Pearson’s Moment Correlation Coefficient (PMCC) ranges between +1 and -1.If the coefficient value is +1 and -1‚ it is an indication that the relationships between both variables are strong. A value of +1 indicate that there is a positive relationship between variables‚ means that
