Objective: Describe the advantages that surveys have to offer.
Surveys attempt to fill the gaps of the UCR. There is so much crime that goes unreported to law enforcement that this approach is necessary to attempt to get an accurate picture of crime and victims in the country. Over the years, these surveys have had to be changed to address problems with their predecessors.

Charity starts at home." If you don't think along these lines, ask the Salvation Army. A few years back, one of the Army's neighborhood offices found that it had an issue with robbery among its pot workers,the individuals who gather cash for the Army amid the Christmas season. A portion of the Army's kettlers were taking the Army's gifts previously the association had an opportunity to dole out the cash. To put a stop to the issue, Army authorities looked for the help of Dr.John Jones, executive of research for London House Management Consultants. London House is one of a few organizations that market trustworthiness tests for planned workers. 117 Although solid figures are difficult to get a hold of, the U. S. Council of Commerce trusts that upwards of 75 percent of representatives may take and that 30 percent of insolvencies originate from worker robbery. Regardless of whether these figures are overstated, nobody questions the issue is serious.Honesty-test creators say the best way to manage the issue is before laborers are contracted by subjecting them to a pre work mental test that will recognize those planned representatives who are probably going to take. James Walls, one of the originators of Stanton Corporation,which has offered composed genuineness tests for a quarter century, says that deceptive activity candidates are astute at duping potential businesses in a prospective employee meeting. " They have a method for acting that is most likely better than the generally safe individual. They have realized what it takes to be acknowledged and how to defeat the typical meeting system," he says. " The high-chance individual will get enlisted unless there is an approach to screen him." For this reason, Walls maintains,written, target tests are expected to weed out the convicts. A large number of composed genuineness tests are given yearly, on account of congressional confinements on polygraph testing. Notwithstanding being legitimate, genuineness tests are likewise practical in light of the fact that they cost just a small amount of what polygraph tests cost

Dr. Vegapunk thinks that watching anime (Japanese animated shows) decreases social skills in college students. To test this, Dr. Vegapunk randomly selected 30 brooklyn college students and assigned them to watch an episode of anime everyday for a week. After the week, each of the students answered a questionnaire about their social skills. The results showed that the sample had a mean social skills score of 7.3 and a standard deviation of 2.4. A previous study showed that the overall population of brooklyn college students had a mean social skills score of 6.2, but the standard deviation was not reported. Dr. Vegapunk decides to use an alpha level of 0.05.

Describe an ethical dilemma you have encountered in your own life. Provide enough information so we can understand your situation, but please change details to protect the innocent (or the guilty). Why did the situation present a dilemma for you? How did you resolve it?
I once worked for a company where I was in one department and that department reported to another department. There was a top manager in that other department who was over all the departments. I had a co-worker who decided to leave the company. That co-worker then wanted to come back to the company. They also wanted to go and work directly with that top manager in the other department.
There was going to be a very high level meeting that was to be attended by most of the people in my department, as well as that top manager and a few who reported directly to that top manager. The top manager also wanted to bring the co-worker who was not an employee to the meeting. Highly proprietary confidential information was to be discussed at this meeting. I was in a dilemma as I knew that by having the non-employee attend this business meeting was against company policy. There were written guidelines specifically on this matter. I was expected to attend this meeting. "What should I do?", I thought. If I did not attend the meeting, I could get fired, yet if I did attend the meeting, and the ethics department found out, I too could be fired.
I decided to go to my two managers within my department and explain the situation and explain to them that I would not be attending this meeting. I stated company policy on why I could not attend this meeting. A week before the meeting was suppose to happen, the top manager of that department was fired. I do not know all the details on why that top manager was fired, but I have my suspicions.
I believe if the top manager was not fired, all those who were going to go to the meeting would have been fired including myself. It would have wiped out a whole department. The reason would be discussing highly confidential information with a non-employee of the company. It was a very difficult position to be in, but I knew the stakes were very high and that I needed to do the right thing, even if it meant that I lost my job. Through my actions, I believe I saved some people their jobs, including my own. No one knows why that manager was really fired. There is only a lot of rumors as to what really transpired. It pays to know and follow corporate policy and guidelines, especially when it comes to ethics.
I believe the following quote out of our text book applies to me.
"Although we believe there are many practical benefits to being ethical, many business people make decisions because they believe a particular course of action is simply the right thing to do as responsible members of society." (L. Ferrell, O.C. Ferrell, Fraedrich, 2015)
