Corporate Executive Criminal Conviction: American Commercial Colleges Employees have a responsibility to do what is ethically expected and legally required, but often allow the thought of profit maximization overcome them. Doyle Brent Sheets, the one-time President of American Commercial Colleges, made an unethical decision that not only impacted his life, but the lives of many students that trusted him and relied on ACC to provide them with a quality education. Sheets falsified financial records of ACC in an effort to remain eligible for Federal Student Aid. As a proprietary college, American Commercial Colleges holds a

    In this case well no he didn’t do. 2) Next is concealment, this one he did do by compiling mass amounts of paperwork, and case files from not only the U.S. government, but other companies and governments as well. 3) The third is violation of trust, or abuse of power, and trust. This one is a little tricky because of the law that states on the theft, compiling and use of government documents. He had the power to view these documents and the trust from the government to see such thing so when he went out on a limb and published those in a webpage format then he violated this rule, or element. The other thing is that he is NOT a citizen of the U.S. therefore the first amendment right would not apply to him. Because of this; it is an American document, and doctrine. So implies the Espionage act which he falls under and has violated. So the final question in this topic is he a criminal, well yes he is because of the amount of data, and the amount of sensitive information that he and his team has exposed. White collar crime yes because he leaked in cyber form information that could cause harm, and damages to a nation, person, or group.

    Some of the earliest examples of white collar crime would be scandals such as the 1920's Teapot Dome Scandal that involved members of then President Harding's administration. The Scandal involved the leasing of naval oil reserves without going into the bidding process. Another example would be the S&L scandal of the 1980's. The amount of money may never be known and the scandal was known as the biggest white collar crime in history. This scandal involved the intentional mismanagement and personal appropriation of depositors' funds by institutional executives. More recently, the Enron scandal shook the financial world. Enron…

    Chapter 5 describes how, within the last century, mounting scholarly evidence has exposed institutional flaws within our judicial and police systems, resulting in the convictions of innocent persons for capital crimes. In some cases, overzealous behavior by police and prosecutors, led to the imprisonment of “factually” innocent defendants. While police sometimes coerced confessions or failed to conduct full investigations, prosectors and judges failed to evidence which might exonerate the defendant. Other judicial violations found through study included failure to follow courtroom procedures related to rule of law. One of the first wrongful conviction initiatives was through a congressional investigation in 1912. Although a noble undertaking for its time, the reports was flawed in its evidentiary compilation. The data was poorly collected and its findings poorly deduced. According to the report, no innocent person had been executed by the Federal government.…

    President-elect Donald J. Trump’s real estate school, Trump University, was facing three lawsuits about the quality of education and business practices of the university. Students complained that they were swindled out of thousands of dollars in tuition and that the education they received was not up to par with the university’s claims (Eder). Mr. Trump’s school operated from 2004 to 2010 and offered a wide variety of packages that students could purchase after the free introductory seminar (Eder). These packages were priced up to $35,000 (Eder). The school faced much criticism, from Trump’s level of involvement in the classes to managers of the school saying that it was “a fraudulent scheme” (Cassidy). In addition, the school was penalized for violating state education laws in New York (Eder). Trump’s defense included information from the website 98percentapproval.com, which claimed that students were overwhelmingly satisfied with the quality of the programs, when in fact, these students were pressured into giving the school positive reviews despite their dissatisfaction with the program (Cassidy). Mr. Trump also made remarks about the judge overseeing the California lawsuits, implying that he is not impartial because of his Mexican heritage (Eder). One of the federal class-action lawsuits in San Diego was 10 days from being presented in front of a jury when Trump agreed to pay a settlement (Eder). The two California lawsuits were to be paid $21 million, and the New York attorney general lawsuit was to be paid $4 million (Eder). As a result…

    Background Checks

    Criminal record checks are high in demand for decision makers to predict future unwanted behaviors during employment screening. Employers conduct background checks on job applicants for several reasons. One reason may be to confirm their moral character. Another reason may be the desire to assess their risk of committing crimes that could cause somatic, monetary, and reputational damage to the company. Consequently, if a person has had their record expunged then it isn’t protecting the company at all, it only allows them to see what they would like. Background checks act as a filter for the ideal candidate, for companies that rely on the screening, because you can’t trust what can be hidden.…

Moreover, they work to reform the criminal justice system in order to prevent further injustices that will occur.

Minorities and the lower classes are not treated equally in our justice system. There have been far too many advancements in our world today to still be wrongly accused for crimes and paying the ultimate price for them.The system is starving for reform to ensure that every single American citizen is equal and treated accordingly to his or her inalienable…
