2. What are the 3 classic principles of CPTED?

Explanation

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) involves using the built environment to create a safer space. The three classic principles of CPTED are natural access control, natural surveillance, and territoriality. These principles focus on designing spaces in a way that guides people through natural pathways, increases visibility to deter crime, and establishes a sense of ownership and responsibility among residents or users.

3. When conducting mobile surveillance on a target who boards a bus, where should the surveillant sit?

Explanation

When carrying out mobile surveillance on a bus, sitting behind the target on the same side allows the surveillant to maintain visual contact without raising suspicion. Sitting directly across from the target or in front of them can make the surveillant more noticeable, while sitting at the front near the driver may obstruct the view of the target.

Submit
4. Whose work laid the foundation for CPTED?

Explanation

Oscar Newman is recognized as the individual whose work became the foundation for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). While the other options have made significant contributions in their respective fields, they are not directly associated with CPTED.

Explanation

The correct answer shows that without the fear of getting caught, a potential criminal is more likely to commit the crime.

Submit
6. According to which theory, does the presence of a capable guardian reduce crime?

Explanation

Routine Activity Theory suggests that for a crime to occur, there must be a motivated offender, a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian.

Submit
7. Logical access control encompasses two processes, labelled?

Explanation

Logical access control involves verifying the identity of users (authentication) and determining what resources they are allowed to access (authorisation). Identification and verification are part of the authentication process, while encryption and decryption are related to securing data. Monitoring and logging are important for auditing and tracking access but are not the primary processes involved in logical access control.

Submit
8. What is considered the litmus test for a trade secret?

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Secrecy - the extent to which the secret is more widely known'. This is because the defining characteristic of a trade secret is its secrecy, and the level of secrecy determines its value as intellectual property.

Submit
9. A camera is to be mounted on the side of a building, 40 ft from the ground. If the center of the scene is 30 ft from the building, what is the distance from the camera to the scene center?

Explanation

To find the distance from the camera to the scene center, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The distance is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, where one leg is 40 ft (height of the camera from the ground) and the other leg is 30 ft (distance from the building to the scene center). Therefore, the distance from the camera to the scene center is 50 ft.

Submit
10. What type of interview is simple and usually unstructured, used to interview witnesses, friends, supervisors, and anyone other than the subject or suspect in the investigation?

Explanation

An administrative interview is used to gather information from individuals other than the subject or suspect in a less formal setting compared to a structured interrogation interview.

Submit
11. Which drug was synthesized by a German scientist during WW2?

Explanation

During WW2, methadone was synthesized by a German scientist as part of efforts to find a synthetic substitute for opiates like morphine due to shortages. LSD was first synthesized in 1938 by a Swiss chemist, Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928, and Morphine has been used for pain relief since ancient times.

Submit
12. In PPS system design, what is the first task of the planning and assessment phase?

Explanation

During the planning and assessment phase in PPS system design, the first task involves identifying assets, threats, vulnerabilities, and risks. This step sets the foundation for creating an effective security posture.

Submit
13. Which of the following intrusion sensors would not be suitable for a perimeter with a creek at one corner?

Explanation

Ported coax sensor is not suitable for a perimeter with a creek as it requires a constant electrical connection between the sensors to detect intrusions. The presence of a creek can disrupt this connection. Pressure mat, Microwave, and Fiber optic sensors are better suited for such environments due to their design and method of intrusion detection.

Submit
14. Which of the following internal intrusion sensors would not be suitable for a room with thin walls?

Explanation

Microwave intrusion sensors emit and detect microwave signals that can penetrate thin walls easily, making them unsuitable for such rooms. In contrast, ultrasonic sensors rely on sound waves, and infrared sensors detect heat signatures, both of which are less affected by thin walls. Pressure pads rely on physical pressure and would not be impacted by wall thickness.

Submit
15. Which of the following internal intrusion sensors would be most suited to protecting a safe?

Explanation

Capacitance sensors are ideal for protecting a safe as they can detect changes in the electric field caused by proximity or contact, making them highly effective for detecting unauthorized access.

Submit
16. What is the term used to describe a CCTV camera's ability to compensate for light changes without the use of an automatic or manual iris?

Explanation

Electronic shuttering refers to the method by which a CCTV camera adjusts its exposure settings to compensate for varying light conditions. The other options listed are common features in CCTV cameras but do not specifically pertain to compensating for light changes without iris adjustments.

Submit
17. On which of the following media can video signals not be transmitted?

Explanation

Video signals cannot be transmitted on DC lines due to the lack of bandwidth required for video transmission. Fiber Optic cables, Radio waves, and Coaxial cables are capable of transmitting video signals efficiently.

Submit
18. Which of the following video transmission means is limited by distances that should not exceed 1,000 feet if there is no signal amplification?

Explanation

Coaxial cable is limited by distances that should not exceed 1,000 feet without signal amplification due to signal loss over long distances. Fiber optic cables can transmit data over much longer distances without loss, HDMI cables are typically limited to shorter distances, and wireless transmission range can vary depending on the technology used.

Submit
19. Which of the following communications media is better suited to an intrusion detection system in the event of a signal line fault?

Explanation

In the event of a signal line fault, point to point configuration allows for the detection of issues at specific points along the communication line, making it easier to pinpoint and address the problem.

Submit
20. What are the major component parts of an intrusion detection system?

Explanation

An intrusion detection system typically consists of sensors to detect intrusions, a control unit to analyze and respond to the sensor data, and an annunciator to alert users of potential intrusions.

Submit
21. Which of the following best describes the component parts of a HID lighting unit?

Explanation

In a HID lighting unit, the key components are the luminare (the fixture that houses the lamp), the lamp (the light source itself), and the ballast (the component that regulates the electrical current to the lamp).

Submit
22. Which of the following surfaces provides the poorest reflectance?

Explanation

Asphalt has a low albedo, meaning it absorbs more light and reflects less, resulting in poorer reflectance compared to the other surfaces mentioned. Freshly painted white surfaces, polished metal surfaces, and glass surfaces typically have higher reflectance due to their smoother and more reflective properties.

Submit
23. What is the best method for random drug testing of a large number of employees?

Explanation

Thin layer chromatography is a versatile and cost-effective method for analyzing a large number of samples quickly and accurately. While urine dipstick testing, hair follicle testing, and saliva swab testing are commonly used, they may not be as efficient or accurate for testing a large number of employees.

Submit
24. Which drug is derived from the Peyote cactus?

Explanation

The correct answer is Mescaline, which is a naturally occurring psychedelic alkaloid that is derived from the Peyote cactus. Cocaine is derived from the coca plant, LSD is a synthetic drug, and Heroin is derived from morphine.

Submit
25. In suspect interviewing, the question 'Did you plan this or did it just happen on the spur of the moment?' is an example of what questioning technique?

Explanation

In suspect interviewing, using alternative questioning technique helps provide the suspect with choices while subtly steering them towards revealing more information.

Submit
26. What technique involves a systematic evaluation of a person's verbal and non-verbal responses through systematic behaviour-provoking questioning?

Explanation

Behavioural analysis interview (BAI) is a technique used to assess an individual's responses through questioning. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychoanalysis, and hypnotherapy are different approaches and not specifically focused on evaluating verbal and non-verbal responses through behaviour-provoking questioning.

Submit
27. What is the duration of a patent?

Explanation
