Why is deterring terrorists a challenge? Do you think terrorists can be deterred? Address both sides of the argument.

Global terrorism

In week 3, we discussed the Dilemmas in the Deterrence of Terrorists (Chapter 4 in The Counter Terrorism Puzzle). Why is deterring terrorists a challenge? Do you think terrorists can be deterred? Address both sides of the argument (through diplomacy, information, military, economic, financial, intelligence and law enforcement (D.I.M.E.F.I.L.) means).

The U.S. Government published the most recent National Strategy for Counterterrorism (NSCT) in October 2018. For this second topic you are to develop a framework for a brand-new National Strategy for Counter Terrorism of the United States. Address both domestic (homeland) components and offensive overseas elements. Make sure to address how you will balance domestic security with civil liberties at home and how you will be effective in dealing with terrorists abroad without creating even more terrorists in the process.

Make sure your framework employs all elements of national power (diplomatic, informational, military, economic, intelligence, law enforcement, financial). Also describe the importance of gathering all sources of domestic and overseas intelligence for effective counter terrorism efforts. You do not need to write an entire strategy, just the outline or framework for a new NSCT; an executive summary or details of your pillars or plan of action for a comprehensive strategy.

 

The states are invested with various police powers. However, the federal government limits that police power. Do you think that the control of police power best lies in the federal or state governments?

Right and Civil Liability DB

Each question should be about two paragraphs. You can use outside sources to define and explain your answers. As long as they are scholarly sources, you do not have to write this in the paper form, just answer the questions.

Week 4: The states are invested with various police powers. However, the federal government limits that police power. Do you think that the control of police power best lies in the federal or state governments?

Week 5: Are Terry stops more in line with the crime control or due process model of criminal justice?

Week 6: Police officers are permitted to approach citizens, ask questions, and even ask for consent to search. These stops are allowed if a reasonable person would feel free to disregard the officer and go about his or her business. At what point does a reasonable person feel that he or she is being detained? When does a consensual stop turn into a seizure?

Week 7: The Supreme Court gives the police some leeway when assessing the legality of police use of force when affecting an arrest. Why does the Court give the police this leeway? Why has the Court not given a “bright line” rule to determine if the force use was excessive?

Week 8: Search warrants must identify the place to be searched and the items to be searched for. Why is this necessary?

What gang or controlled substance appears to now pose the most significant threat to the U.S. and why? Are these newly emerging threats or have they continued steadily over the past decade?

Threat Assessment

This week’s readings included the 2020 Drug Threat Assessment report by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the 2015 National Gang Threat Assessment by the National Gang Intelligence Center of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Both provide detailed looks at these significant issues in criminal justice, which include those organizations’ predictions (“Outlook” section) about the future of drug and gang prevalence in the United States.

Pick one of the reports and answer the following questions based on the totality of the report:

  1. What gang or controlled substance appears to now pose the most significant threat to the U.S. and why?
  2. Are these newly emerging threats or have they continued steadily over the past decade? Provide evidence to support your answer.
  3. What has the law enforcement strategy been to contain these activities? Do you think it has been successful or not? Why or why not (provide evidence).
  4. What would the components of a successful LE program against these activities be? Examples of enforcement programs include: border interdiction, following the money, anti-crime education in middle and grammar schools (e.g., “DARE”), community job and sports programs, curtailing incarceration of first-time offenders, for example. Explain why they would be successful and in what time frame? If there are examples of how your chosen program has been successful in some area, provide that information as support.

Your response will be judged on your ability to provide evidence in support of your statements and choices.

 

Briefly summarize the basic facts of the underlying dispute. Highlight any internal policies of Big Mike’s that you think have been violated. What potential legal claims does Ms. Michael have against Big Mike’s?

Writing Assignment 2 – Business Risk Memorandum

As you are aware, Big Mike’s Construction (“Big Mike’s”) is a Texas-based company with one location in Dallas, Texas. Our office facility has two levels. Big Mike’s superintendents, carpenters, and general construction employees are on the lower level. All executive offices (including my executive suite, accounting, and human resources) are on the upper level. Big Mike’s consistently employs 50 employees, 38 of whom work on the lower level. Three years ago, Big Mike’s hired Samantha Michael as a carpenter. Ms. Michael was 55 years old when hired, and the only female carpenter during her tenure. I am not sure if it is relevant, but she was unmarried, had a short haircut, and never wore makeup. It is my understanding that the male carpenters and general construction employees began to treat Ms. Michael cruelly. They called her names such as “butch,” “old maid,” “spinster,” and “geriatric.” They would make comments telling her to “file for social security” and “we have reserved you a nursing home.” They also told her to “get a makeover” and “no man would ever marry you.” They would frequently make comments on her appearance. Ms. Michael would pretend she did not hear it, or she would respond with, “Please just stop.” She stayed pretty quiet and kept to herself. It is my understanding that her work was exceptional. She has never had any employment issues, write-ups, or performance improvement plans (PIPs). The men did not treat other men the way they treated Ms. Michael. She also never reacted or responded similarly to the employees who mistreated her. When we formed Big Mike’s, we were sure to include an anti-harassment policy which our lawyers assisted us with drafting. You can find that policy in the uploaded materials. Our policy directs all employees to contact the HR Manager, Melinda if they believe they have been subjected to any type of harassment. Ms. Michael never reported any of this behavior to Ms. z as she feared the other employees would retaliate and make her life worse. Six months ago, Ms. called Ms. Michael into her office stating that she was investigating the alleged misbehavior of carpenters at Big Mike’s. Ms. asked Ms. Ml if she ever observed any such behavior. Ms. Michael burst into tears and told Ms. Sanchez in detail about how the male carpenters and general construction employees constantly harassed her. A week after Ms. M met with Ms. S, she was placed on “suspension without pay for rudeness to coworkers” pending an internal investigation. Ms. Michael was the only employee disciplined for rudeness to coworkers. Big Mike’s permitted Ms. Mto return to work 30 days later, determining she had not been rude to co-workers, and issuing her full pay for all of the workdays missed during the suspension. Supervisors have now shared that when Ms. Ml returned to work, the male carpenters and general construction employees resumed their mistreatment of Ms.. However, now they included “snitch” and “rat” to their name-calling. They would remove her tools when she was not looking. Again, Ms. M did not report these actions to Ms. , her supervisor, or any executive, for fear of further actions by her colleagues. It is my understanding that the supervisors did oversee and overhear these actions but did not intervene or report to Ms. Yesterday, I learned of all of this from Ms. S after Ms. Ml turned in her resignation. I am told she left stating, “I can’t endure the abuse any longer” and immediately departed the building. I have attempted to reach her but Ms. M will not return my phone call. Since you recently completed your M.Jur. degree from University School of Law, I thought you might be the best person to review this fact pattern, initially, as we think through whether we should consult our litigation counsel further.

Write a memorandum highlighting any potential risks that you believe we may have (maximum 2,000 words) which should address the following:

  1. Briefly summarize the basic facts of the underlying dispute.
  2. Highlight any internal policies of Big Mike’s that you think have been violated.
  3. What potential legal claims does Ms. Michael have against Big Mike’s? Feel free to perform supplemental (minimal) research to support your analysis.
  4. What defenses, if any, do you think Big Mike’s might have to these claims?
  5. If Ms. Michael files a charge of discrimination with the EEOC, identify what Big Mike’s should expect through that process.
