1.     Due Week 7 and worth 160 points

According to the text, there are nearly 815,000 suicides in a year in the world. The truth of the matter is that this number is probably much higher due to underreported instances of intentional death. As a result of technology, a new trend in suicide is death due to “cyberbullying.” In this case study, you will review suicide as a result of cyberbullying. 

Read the article titled “Police file raises questions about bullying in Rebecca Sedwick’s suicide”, located at http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/18/living/rebecca-sedwick-bullying-suicide-follow-parents/. Next, view the legality of cyberbullying located at http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/cyber-bullying.html

Write a three  (3) page paper in which you:

1.     Examine three (3) elements of cyberbullying and then determine whether or not defendants, Katlyn Roman and Guadalupe Shaw should be charged with a cyberbullying crime. Provide a rationale to support your position.

2.     Based on what you learned about the relationship between suicide and depression from the text, support or refute the following statement: “People who die by suicide are usually experiencing undiagnosed depression”. Support your opinion.

3.     Analyze the significance of why suicide is becoming a more prevalent area of interest due to the wide-use of social media. Next, debate whether or not suicide will remain a focal point or receive the notoriety necessary for agencies to continue working to get support for individuals who are considering suicide. Provide a rationale to support your response.

4.     The text states that suicide rates vary around the world. Based on the text, propose two (2) possible causes for the differences around the world. Next, give your opinion as to whether suicide should be considered a deviant behavior. Justify your response.

5.     Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar type Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

·       Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

·       Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

·       Properly classify suicide and suicidal tendencies.

·       Describe the procedures for handling mental illness in the criminal justice system.  

·       Use technology and information resources to research issues related to the criminal mind.

·       Write clearly and concisely about the criminal mind topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.

Assignment 2

The Performance of Feedback Control Systems

1. Watch video “EE495 – Week 2 – Lecture”
2. Read Chapter 5 in the text Modern Control Systems, 12th Edition.
3. Work the following problems:
   1. The closed-loop transfer function of a system is T(s) = 11.1(s +18)/ ((s + 20)(s2 + 4s +10))
      • Plot the poles and zeros of this system and discuss the dominance of the complex poles.  What overshoot for a step input do you expect?
   2. A unity feedback control system has the loop transfer function: L(s) = Gc(s)G(s) = K/(s(s +sqrt(2K))
      • Determine the percent overshoot and settling time (using a 2% settling criterion) due to a unit step input.
      • For what range of K is the settling time less than 1 second?
4. Save work in a file with the title: “HW2_StudentID”, with your student id substituted in the file name.  Show all work for full credit.
5. Upload file “HW2_StudentID”

Lab 2

The Performance of Feedback Control Systems

1. A closed-loop control system has the transfer function T(s) as follows:  Y(s)/R(s) = T(s) = 2500/((s +50)(s2 +10s+50))
2. Use MATLAB to plot y(t) for a step input R(s).
3. Include all MATLAB code and screenshots in a Word entitled “Lab2_StudentID”.
4. Upload file “Lab2_StudentID”

Discussion Question

Begin your discussion by sharing your problem statement and research question. Next, discuss your sampling plan. In addition, discuss your research design. Consider the following as you craft your response.

Sampling

• How will the sample be selected?
• What type of sampling method is used? Is it appropriate to the design?
• Does the sample reflect the population as identified in the problem or purpose statement?
• Is the sample size appropriate? Why or why not?
• To what population may the findings be generalized? What are the limitations in generalizability?

Research design

• What type of design will be used?
• Does the design seem to flow from the proposed research problem, theoretical framework, literature review, and hypothesis?
