As you study criminal justice, it is imperative to examine the various responses to crime through history. Traditionally, responses were focused on current issues without connecting the historical relationship between groups, institutions, cultures, and governmental ideologies. Understanding the historical context of contemporary criminal justice responses is critical. Provide the type of crime you selected. Then explain one ancient governmental response and one contemporary governmental response to that crime. As can be found in this week’s readings, crime is responded to from the relative cultural reality of that time period. Provide an example to illustrate your points. Describe the commonalities and the differences in these responses. Explain whether or not you consider either response effective and why. Finally, explain whether international responses to crime have helped shape the governmental response to crime where you live. If so, explain how. Provide an example and select an article to support your response.Optional ResourcesDepartment of Criminal Justice, University of Illinois at Chicago. (2000).

To prepare for this assignment, review Waring’s article about employee compensation, which is also listed in the required reading section of the Unit IV Study Guide. Note: both links contain the same information; only one needs to be reviewed. Waring, D. (2013). How to design an employee compensation plan [SlideShare slides]. Retrieved from http://www.slideshare.net/FitSmallBusiness/how-to-design-a-compensation-plan-dave? ref=http://fitsmallbusiness.com/how-to-pay-employees/ Waring, D. (2013). How to pay employees – The ultimate guide. Retrieved from http://fitsmallbusiness.com/how-to-payemployees/ You are the director of compensation for a midsized organization. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation that justifies the implementation of a new compensation strategy that will support the motivational needs of knowledge workers and reinforce the real-time performance appraisal system that the organization has embraced. While your goal is to retain, motivate, and grow the current workforce of multi-generational knowledge workers, you must also justify to your senior management that this compensation strategy is competitive in the marketplace. Your presentation should describe a compensation program for knowledge workers. The title of the knowledge worker’s position is entirely up to you (e.g., sales executive I, systems engineer III, etc.). You may use various sources (including the lesson materials), but you must use at least one additional resource from the CSU Online Library. Include a reference slide, and cite any sources used in proper APA format. Your presentation should be a minimum of 12 slides in length—not counting the title and reference slides. You may also use the slide notes function to explain slide contents as necessary, but this is not required. Be sure to address the questions below in your presentation. What is the compensation strategy being proposed? Did employees provide input? Who else provided input? What incentives are included in the plan? How will it motivate the employees? How will employees determine fairness of the pay structure? Why do you believe the employees will be satisfied with this plan? Justify the compensation strategy that supports the motivational needs of knowledge workers. What is your communication plan for rolling out the new program?

Topic 1: Project Costs How do you estimate project costs? As you learned earlier, customers and stakeholders expect project managers to deliver a definitive and functional cost estimate in a timely manner. How do project managers do this? Good question. As you read, there are three levels of estimation in a project: the WAG, the SWAG, and the “you bet your job on this figure” estimates. Actually, they are referred to in industry as, the “Order of Magnitude” the “Budget,” and the “Definitive” cost estimates. The PMBOK addresses them under Analogous, Parametric, and Bottom-up estimates respectively Explain which of the three is used where in the project lifecycle. Topic 2:  Why should you know how to use EVM? Project costs are monitored and controlled using a common technique called Earned Value Management (EVM). Review the following figures below: Project          PV    AC    EV A               10,000 11,000 10,000 B               9,000   8,000 7,000 C              8,000   8,000 8,000 D              7,000   7,000 5,000 Based on the Planned Values, Actual Costs, and Earned Values listed for Projects A, B, C, and D in the above table, how would you rank these four projects, from best- to worst-performing?
