You are an environmental behavioral specialist for criminal justice professionals in the law enforcement field. The chief of police has asked you to review the seven-person undercover narcotics unit because there have been several internal affairs investigations involving excessive use of force, mishandling of evidence, and mishandling of informants. The chief knows the six men and one woman on the team and believes they are all good officers.

He uses them outside of narcotics work to make death notifications to families when someone dies in an accident or crime.  He also knows they have been doing a lot of excessive drinking on the job and after work. They are highly productive in terms of quality cases and seizures of controlled substances, and they are working around the clock, on some cases 24 or 36 hours in a row. You must evaluate the situation and provide the chief with suggestions.

In a report to the chief of police, you will cite the findings of your research and observations with recommendations to the chief. Statements of fact in your presentation require that you cite the reference you obtained the information from in the text of the paper and that the reference be included in your reference page. As always, your paper will be submitted in the current edition of APA format. No abstract is required because this is a short position paper, but a title page, reference page, and appropriate running header with page numbers should be included.

Course Materials

This program will work with file IO and exception handling by building a simple text-based interface for browsing the file system. When the program starts it should ask the user if they would like to dump results to a log file IN ADDITION to standard out. If so, your program should prompt for the name of the log file. If the file already exists, it’s contents should be overwritten. The program will then display (6) options to the user: (1) List the contents of a directory provided by the user (2) List the contents of a directory provided by the user as well as all of its sub directories. (hint: use recursion) (3) Locate a file with a given name. (4) Locate files with a given file extension (5) Concatenate the contents of 2 files whose names are provided by the user and output the result to a third file (name also provided by the user) (6) Exit In addition, provide additional (useful) options in addition to those listed above. For example, locating files based on regular expression matches in the file name or the file content. Be creative. Have fun. Design: Make sure to design the program so that the file system functionality is encapsulated in its own class or classes. Specifically, you should design so that it would be trivial to hook up these features to a GUI rather than the command line. (This means the main function should have almost no code in it, and that all command-line user interaction should be separate of file browsing implementation, etc.)

Assignment 1: Law of Demand

The Law of Demand states that the demand for a product is inversely related to the price of such product. Therefore, the demand for a product is considered downward sloping. This implies that quantity demanded increases when price decreases. Is this always true?

In your answer, provide at least three examples of products for which quantity demanded remains unchanged regardless of a change in price. Also, provide at least three examples of products for which quantity demanded increases in response to an increase in price. Also, include a discussion of the factors of demand that may account for such examples and justify your conclusions.
