Which members of the IC would be the best collectors of intelligence on this particular organization within the country?

/in /by

Develop a research paper to address domestic intelligence collection and analysis of your selected terrorist group from your Red Cell Midterm Assignment.

2. Domestic Intelligence Collection and Analysis:

Specify the most effective intelligence collection and analysis methods against the terrorist organization likely to conduct an attack within the United States that you selected by clearing answering all 3 of the following:

A) What domestic intelligence collection efforts would be best utilized on the organization you selected? (Intelligence Collection disciplines discussed in week 5) Do not focus on overseas intelligence collection programs; this is an HLSS course and we are focused ONLY on collection within the U.S. homeland.

B) Which members of the IC would be the best collectors of intelligence on this particular organization within the country? (the intelligence and law enforcement agencies of the intelligence community we discussed in week 2) You may address agencies that collect overseas and within the homeland as the terrorism nexus overlaps both domains. You may also consider some of the field agencies of DHS (since DHS I&A is just an office and does not collect) as some of the operating components do collect like ICE, CBP, USCG, and the Secret Service (who does focus on terrorism financing). Again, this is a Homeland Security course, so focus on the agencies that can support the homeland (like the FBI), NOT primarily overseas intelligence collection of foreign targets. Clearly focus your paper only on domestic intelligence and law enforcement and remember the CIA does not collect intelligence on Americans domestically, they are a foreign intelligence agency (as are ALL of the military intelligence branches).

See the readings from week 5 as well as this link to Executive Order 12333 (2008) https://fas.org/irp/offdocs/eo/eo-12333-2008.pdf. However, the NSA is very different as they can and do collect both foreign and domestic communications (when authorized by a court [like FISA] or under certain conditions by the Attorney General to support the FBI). See https://www.nsa.gov/about/faqs/sigint-faqs.shtml

C) What intelligence analysis strategies would be the most effective and why? (choose only from the analytical strategies discussed in the week 6 lesson and specifically the reading A tradecraft primer: Structured analytic techniques for improving intelligence analysis or found at this link https://www.hsdl.org/?abstract&did=20945).

Remember that critical thinking (brainstorming) and situational logic DO NOT in themselves constitute an analytical approach — be specific and pick at least two specific strategies you think will help analyze what can be collected on a clandestine terrorist group attempting to attack the U.S. homeland

Identify three potential options for your chosen topic.

1. Choose a cyber threat that interests you
Identify three potential options for your chosen topic. Using Google and then progressing to the e-library resources and Google Scholar, get a feel for each of the topics and the resources available, and see if one jumps out as especially interesting or viable.Some examples include: cyber-bullying, cyber-espionage, cyber-terrorism, DDOS attacks, disinformation, online child sexual exploitation, online drug trafficking, online firearms trafficking, online fraud, online harassment, online hate, online wildlife trafficking, phishing, ransomware, and SCADA attacks.

Consider whether you want to have a global or national focus, and whether you want to be more specific in the threat – e.g. Action Fraud’s A-Z of Fraud lists many types of fraud, many of which are predominantly or partially instigated online.

Describe both the freelance model and business model of drug distribution.

/in /by

This discussion question will focus on how the drugs are made available to the user. Most illicit drugs are made available to the user through a complex chain of events that begins with cultivation (organic drugs like cocaine) or manufacturing (synthetic drugs like methamphetamine), importation into the United States (if not domestically produced), wholesale distribution and eventually, retail (street level) sales.

The sale of these drugs to the user is the ultimate objective of the entire process because this is where the profits originate. It is important to understand how drug trafficking organizations operate, especially in the critically important point where the drugs leave the trafficking organization and enter the realm of the user.

For this discussion question, please address the following:

There are two basic street distribution models:

Freelance and business. Describe both the freelance model and business model of drug distribution.

Consider the typical relationship between street level dealer and drug user. The drug user (consumer) and the drug dealer (retail sales person) engage in a mutually consensual transaction where the user receives a commodity (illicit drug) in exchange for an accepted payment (cash, property, etc).

If we were to disregard the facts that the commodity has been deemed contraband and illegal by the government and consumption of the product has been deemed physically and socially destructive to the buyer, this is simply a business transaction no different than buying a Snow Cone from an ice cream man. If a drug deal occurs between two mutually consenting adults, how does this hurt anyone other than those individuals who want to engage in this activity?

Be 3-4 pages in length.
Include at least two academic sources, in addition to the Source book of Criminal Justice. The CSU Global Library is a great place to find these sources.
Be formatted according to the CSU Global Writing Center.”

This essay will be written about criminology theory in relation to the recent uptick in criminal activity across the nation!

DO NOT use theory, emotion or what you think policing should be like. ONLY USE facts, criminology theories and legitimate research for criminal justice and law enforcement. Grammar must be correct and proper. This is to be written at an undergrad level, not high school. Follow the directions to completion. No room for interpretation.
