Question Description

Assignment Instructions

Building on the information that you prepared from your Midterm Assignment (Attached) (but without repeating what you wrote), prepare a research paper that addresses the below information in 7 pages:

For the terrorist organization likely to conduct an attack within the United States that you selected, determine:
What data collection programs would be best utilized on the organization you selected? (refer to the Intelligence Collection disciplines discussed in week 5)

Which members of the IC would be the best collectors of intelligence on this particular organization?
What intelligence analysis strategies would be the most effective and why? (choose from the analytical techniques discussed in the week 6 lesson)

Clarification on assignments: The first paper (Attached) was about the group you selected and was basically from a historical perspective about the group. The second paper is a red cell where you put yourself in the shoes of the terrorist group by thinking like they would to determine how the U.S. can do intelligence collection on the terrorist group. NOTE: This is still an academic paper, so you should not write in first person.
Make sure you read the instructions carefully and that you focus your paper on answering the assigned question. This assignment is a research paper, not an opinion paper, so you need to use the class readings to support your thesis. Make sure you use APA style in-text parenthetical citations at the end of every sentence where you are quoting or paraphrasing another’s ideas (or any information) that is not your own thoughts and words, like this (Bergen, 2015, para 14). You are welcome to use supplementary sources to compliment the assigned readings based upon your research, but make sure you use scholarly and credible sources.

Requirements:
– seven (7) pages of text, not including the Title or Reference pages
– Written according to the APA style and format
– Use Times New Roman 12 point font
– 1 inch margins on all sides
– Double space all text (no extra lines or spaces after a paragraph or section headings)
– A respectable number of credible resources used, cited in the paper as in-text citations, and included on the reference page. A good rule of thumb is at least 3 scholarly sources per page of content.

Question Description

During the initial direct examination process, a testifying expert witness must first qualify their expertise within court. For this to happen, the testifying expert must demonstrate competence within the subject, as well as qualification through a combination of subject knowledge, skill, training, and education (Sapir, 2007). To accomplish this, an attorney may ask various questions to help demonstrate to the court the competence and knowledge of the testifying expert. For example, an attorney may ask the expert to tell the court about details regarding where the individual received their education and what degree or degrees they hold. The expert may also be asked to give a length of time they have spent in the area of expertise. Additional questions may include current place of employment, present title, current position, licensing in the field, any publications within the field of expertise, any honors or awards received in the field of expertise, or number of times the witness has testified in court as an expert witness within the field (Sapir, 2007).

While an attorney who called the expert witness will be asking questions to help qualify the expert witness, the opposing counsel will likely ask questions to call into question the expertise of the witness in attempts to discredit the witness. This can be done through various methods to include attacking potential biases of the expert witness or to attack the expert’s qualifications (Evans, 2017). Exploiting possible presence of financial bias within the expert witness is a common technique in which the opposing counsel may call into question the presence of bias due to the witness providing their expert testimony for a fee (Evans, 2017). On the other hand, the opposing counsel may attack the witness’ credentials by identifying a list of relevant certifications within the field which the witness does not possess (Evans, 2017).

An expert who demonstrates contradictions within their testimony may appear incompetent within court which would call into question the evidence collected and produced by that expert. To avoid contradictions during a testimony in court, expert witnesses should prepare for their direct examination prior to court. It is recommended for an attorney to prepare the expert witness on a separate date prior to the testimony date. The preparation includes reviewing related facts, timeline, legal standards, familiarization with any prepared demonstrative evidence, and anything the expert intends to use when testifying (Harlan & Coulson, 2019).

Question Description

I believe that direct democracy is a good idea because it gives a stronger voice to the people and allows them to play more of a hand in deciding what they want the governing laws of the society that they live in to be. For example, in 1990 the use of a Referendum allowed citizens to vote on whether or not they agreed with Roe v. Wade and the freedom to have an abortion should one want one; during the election, a strong majority of voters agreed with the outcome of the case and what it represented, and the freedom to choose abortion was turned into a state law in Nevada. This is especially important today, where many states are challenging the case and enacting state abortion bans; Nevada had already decided on the issue before it even was an issue.

While this is an effective means of democracy at the state and city level, it may be more difficult to execute on a national level due to the significantly larger population that it would involve and require. Obtaining enough signatures to even initiate the process would be difficult, though the internet would be a massive help in that area. By the same means, it is also possible that extremist and even jokester groups could bring issues that are not as relevant or even nonsensible to a high level of attention, though that would be worst-case-scenario. The process would be extremely effective in terms of bypassing bipartisan gridlock, as there will always be a majority of votes one way or another (giving more power to the citizens, which will, though potentially having an unequal party representation, show what the majority of citizens want, so long as everyone participated, which is not guaranteed). Meanwhile, disagreements could create a lot of tension within the nation. If the process were implemented on a national level, I do believe that the Supreme Court (or other legislative body) could nullify the voters’ will if they see that the action would do more harm than good to the nation, as a means of checks and balances would still be the best course of action.

Instructions

Refer back to the two reading assignments for this unit. Then, write an essay that addresses the areas listed below.

  1. Read “Should Cross Burnings be Protected as a Form of Free Speech?”, and address the elements listed below.
    1. Summarize the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in both of the cases that are excerpted in the handout. In a few words, explain why the court in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul overturned the decision of the Minnesota Supreme Court. Explain why the court upheld the Virginia statute in Virginia v. Black.
    2. In Virginia v. Black, what did the court mean when it held that “just as any state may regulate only that obscenity which is the most obscene due to its prurient content, so too may a state choose to prohibit only those forms of intimidation that are most likely to inspire fear of bodily harm”?

Information sharing, collection based scenario

/0 Comments/in /by

Question Description

A Provided Source: https://www.dni.gov/files/ISE/documents/AnnualReport/2011_ISE_Annual_Report.pdf

Most people attribute the creation of law enforcement and intelligence fusion centers with the events of September 11, 2001. However, from 1999–2002, a series of major events primed policy makers within the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities to formalize cross-community information sharing activities and ultimately to create an effective law enforcement and intelligence information-sharing environment.

As the new millennium was set to begin, Ahmed Ressam (the Millennium Bomber) was stopped as he exited a ferry crossing from Canada to a remote U.S. entry point. The contents found in his trunk would have allowed Ressam to achieve his goal of setting off an explosive device at the Los Angeles airport. This event, which occurred just two years before 9/11, led to meetings regarding the creation of some type of fusion and/or sharing process. Further discussions would advance this idea in the fall of 2002. In October of 2002, unprovoked shootings in the Washington DC metropolitan area resulted in 10 people dead and three critically injured. At the outset of these shootings, a massive police investigation across local and federal levels developed to apprehend the so-named Beltway Sniper. Local and federal law enforcement officials in the East attempted to fit the pieces together and analyze messages left by the killer or killers. This sniper case, combined with previous lessons learned, culminated in the realization for the need to formalize a multijurisdictional information-sharing activity. Members from across the law enforcement community—combining with elements of the homeland security, defense, and intelligence communities—set about institutionalizing this effort as quickly as possible.

Assignment Guidelines

  • For this assignment, you are a member of the law enforcement community tasked with institutionalizing this effort.
  • Address the following in 2-3 pages:
    • What are the challenges for federal, state, and local law enforcement in collecting intelligence information as it pertained to these two events? Explain.
    • What lessons were learned from these events with regards to intelligence collection and information-sharing? Explain.
    • What recommendations can you offer on how to create an information-sharing environment? Explain.
      • How would your recommendation effectively formalize multijurisdictional information sharing to counter some of existing challenges? Explain.
  • Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

U2CD: Leadership and Issues in Diversity

/0 Comments/in /by

Question Description

Using 400-600 words respond to the following questions:

George is a college student in North Carolina. Every weekend, he drives into Georgia to visit his family. George’s family is well-respected and are influential members of their community. They are wealthy enough to give George a good education and supply him with an upscale, flashy, and expensive automobile.

George is very religious, has extremely high ethics, but is also an eccentric and unique individual. He does not follow the trends in clothing or personal presentation. He has long hair, a flashy car, and wears “hippie” attire. Every time he travels through the northern counties of Georgia, he is either stopped by the Georgia Highway Patrol or the local sheriff’s office. They stop him because he fits the profile of a drug dealer.

The Georgia Highway Patrol and the local sheriff’s office have policies and procedures pertaining to drug trafficking. The highway that George is traveling is known as a “drug pipeline.”

  • Do you think these repetitive stops are reasonable? Why or why not?
  • What would be the reasoning behind the stops? Explain.
  • If these stops are based on policy and procedure in your state, what would the major in the Georgia Highway Patrol and the sheriff of the local county say to officers who did not stop George? Explain.
  • If the patrol had a field training officer (FTO), and you were a new recruit, how would you react if the FTO said “just skip him”?

On his last trip home, George passed a large city, and the highway patrol stopped him. This officer carried tools and a battery-powered screwdriver. He proceeded to take George’s car apart, piece by piece. When he did not find drugs, this officer just drove off, leaving George stranded. It was found that this officer just received a commendation for the highest amount of drug busts on this highway.

  • Should he be put up as an example of a good leader to follow for other drug officers? Why or why not? Explain your rationale.

Support your answers with scholarly sources and research into the laws and policies of LOUISIANA.
