  • Dangers Children Face Online Dateline Hidden Camera Investigation Turns Spotlight on Internet Predators
    Dangers children face online Dateline hidden camera investigation turns spotlight on Internet predators By Chris Hansen Dateline NBC updated 11/11/2004 11:19:20 AM ET Instant messaging on the computer has become the phone for kids today. Children spend hours chatting online with their friends, and sometimes with strangers. A recent study found that one in five children online is approached by a sexual predator, a predator who may try to set up a face-to-face meeting. In a Dateline hidden camera investigation, correspondent Chris Hansen catches some of these men in the act. Also, scroll to the bottom of the page for the software mentioned in the story and more resources. To follow the trail of an Internet predator prowling for children, from seduction in a chat room to a face-to-face meeting, Dateline rented a house, wired it with hidden cameras, and enlisted the help of an online vigilante group called "Perverted Justice." Volunteers from the group posed as teens in chat rooms, saying they were home alone and interested in sex. Within hours there were men literally lining up at our door. The men who turned up in our investigation included a New York City firefighter and a man with a history of mental illness and a criminal record. And they all had something in common: the same excuse. Just about every man who came to our house said it was the first time he had done something like this and most claimed they really had no intention of having sex with a minor.

  • The Cost of Complaint Filing, Accountability, and Law Enforcement Outcomes in Chicagoъ
    Going the Extra Mile: the Cost of Complaint Filing, Accountability, and Law Enforcement Outcomes in Chicagoú Bocar A. Ba† UC Irvine October 7, 2020 Abstract While much of the economic literature has centered on the impact of policing on crime, there is little empirical evidence evaluating the effect of oversight on police mis- conduct and use of force. I use novel data from the Chicago Police Department and a policy change that generates exogenous variation in the cost of filing a complaint. I find that civilians facing higher travel costs are less likely to complete the complaint filing process and more likely to experience police use of force. These effects are larger for residents of non-white areas. I estimate civilians’ complaint valuation and construct counterfactual scenarios. I find that the individuals who benefit most from oversight are those with the lowest valuation of their complaints. Simulated counterfactual sce- narios show that reducing the cost of filing a complaint increases the number of com- pleted complaints, and thus the number of investigations. Under a policy that reduces the cost of complaining, the number of sustained complaints about failure to provide service increases by 8.1%; the rate of sustained allegations of police brutality, however, falls by 9.8%. Complainants who would benefit the most from this policy are the ones seeking help from the police, and who live in the most violent neighborhood of the city. This research sheds light on the complex relationship between public safety and the cost of reporting police misconduct. úMany thanks to Robert Lalonde for his guidance and support.

Also known as the internet bubble it was a surge in the prices of stocks in the U.S. primarily pertaining to Internet / Tech companies. This was supplemented by the bull market run around the same time which fueled the upsurge in prices. From 1994 to 2000 the equity stock of these so called “Internet-Based” Companies grew aggressively 5x-6x. Such exponential growth was driven by the sentimental estimates of analysts/investors that, internet would be the next big thing. Nevertheless, the internet did end up being a phenomenon. However the value expectation may have been slightly over-estimated. The entire episode led to the crashing of NASDAQ with an estimated loss of $ 5 trillion in Market Capitalization. The aftermath being NASDAQ taking 15 years to recover its all time high it once honed at the peak of the dotcom bubble which can be seen in the figure shown below:

To Catch a Lawsuit: Constitutional Principles at Work in the Investigative-Journalism Genre ABSTRACT This Note examines two causes of action, civil rights violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and IIED claims, in the context of lawsuits against investigative journalists. Examining two recent cases in particular, Tiwari v. NBC Universal, Inc. and Conradt v. NBC Universal, Inc., which arise out of NBC's conduct in its primetime series To Catch a Predator, this Note concludes that legal standards governing conduct by investigative journalists are currently unclear. Investigative journalists are not adequately on notice as to when they might be liable under § 1983 for violating a subject's civil rights. And district courts have failed to appreciate journalists'First Amendment rights when analyzing IIED claims.

  • U.S. Banks and International Telecommunications (October 1992)
    U.S. Banks and International Telecommunications October 1992 OTA-BP-TCT-100 NTIS order #PB93-116200 GPO stock #052-003-01311-8 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, U.S. Banks and International Telecommu- nications--Background Paper, OTA-BP-TCT-l00 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1992). For sale by the U.S. Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop: SSOP, Washington, DC 20402-9328 ISBN 0-16-038188-6 Foreword U.S. banks competing in the European market for financial services are among the largest users of international telecommunications networks. Their ability to create innovative financial services and deliver them through public, private, and shared networks provides a competitive edge and allows financial services to contribute strongly to our positive trade-in-services balance. At the same time, however, reliance on electronic systems means increased risk to our national payment system, probably the most serious of the public policy issues related to U.S. banks and international telecommunications. This background paper on U.S. banks is one of several case studies prepared as part of a huger assessment of International Telecommunications Networks and U.S.-European Trade in Services. The assessment, requested by the Senate Committee on Finance and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, will be completed in the spring of 1993. The case studies focus on exporters of trade in services as users of global networks. This background paper is being released separately from the larger assessment to make it more readily available to those congressional committees whose primary interest is in financial services rather than in telecommunications or foreign trade.

This company has grown to what we are today, but I think it's pretty clear, you can see outside we meant it when we said a year ago we're taking this thing down and we're moving forward with the new headquarters. That's the right thing for JPMorgan Chase going into the future. But before we get a few years ahead of ourselves here, let's start with why you're here today?
