  • identifying Disgruntled Employee systems fraud risk through text mining a simple solution for a multi billion dollar problem
    Decision Support Systems, 2009
    Co-Authors: Carolyn Holton
    Abstract:

    Occupational fraud is a $652 billion problem to which Disgruntled Employees are a major contributor. Much security research addresses reducing fraud opportunity and increasing fraud detection, but detecting motivational factors like Employee disgruntlement is less studied. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that companies archive email, creating an untapped resource for deterring fraud. Herein, protocols to identify Disgruntled communications are developed. Messages cluster well according to Disgruntled content, giving confidence in the value of email for this task. A highly accurate naive Bayes model predicts whether messages contain Disgruntled communications, providing extremely relevant information not otherwise likely to be revealed in a fraud audit. The model can be incorporated into fraud risk analysis systems to improve their ability to detect and deter fraud.

  • THE ROLE OF MICRO ENERGY GRIDS AND CONSUMER PREFERENCES ON POWER RELIABILITY, QUALITY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS by
    2014
    Co-Authors: William Lane, Wayne Pak, Mary Prakel, Cheyne Rocha, Isaac Faber, John V. Farr
    Abstract:

    If the United States (U.S.) were attacked from either a sophisticated enemy or even a Disgruntled Employee, the energy grid would be an easy target with catastrophic results. Lack of regulation, strategic investments in the grid, localized nature of power production and distribution, and old technology have all contributed to a fragile grid that is neither resilient nor reliable. Power outages or an attack from a sophisticated adversary could interrupt power to our military bases and would greatly degrade the force projection capability of our military infrastructure along with crippling the U.S. economy. Creative economic and engineering solutions are needed to finance the upgrades needed not only to ensure the security of our installations, but to also comply with the myriad of regulations, orders, and laws. Driven by the need to have uninterrupted power for our military, this research focuses on linking consumer preferences to selection of energy sources in order to meet the stakeholder priorities. These priorities include carbon footprint, renewable, quality, local production, and resiliency. Applying these preferences into an event simulation for a military installation results in data that illustrates how increased revenues that are driven by consumer demand can result in better designed power grids

  • Disaggregating Mass Public Shootings: A Comparative Analysis of Disgruntled Employee, School, Ideologically motivated, and Rampage Shooters.
    Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2018
    Co-Authors: Joel A. Capellan, Joseph D. Johnson, Jeremy R. Porter, Christine Martin
    Abstract:

    This study compares the demographic, background, motivation, and pre-event and event-level behaviors across four types of mass public shooters: Disgruntled Employee, school, ideologically motivated, and rampage offenders. Using a database containing detailed information on 318 mass public shootings that occurred in the United States between 1966 and 2017, we find systematic differences in the characteristics, motivations, target selection, planning, and incident-level behaviors among these offenders. The results show tha ideologically motivated shooters to be the most patient, and methodical, and as a result the most lethal. Conversely, Disgruntled Employees, who are driven by revenge, tend to have little time to plan and consequently are the least lethal shooters. These, among other differences, underscore the need for prevention strategies and policies to be tailored to specific types of offenders. Furthermore, the results also highlight commonalities across offender type, suggesting that the social and psychological pathways to violence are universal across offenders.
