Freytag’s Pyramid labels

“Review pages 75-83 in the Norton which cover plot, and read/re-read Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles” on 1197-1207. Then complete the Plot Diagram handout (linked above). Map out the plot of the play by identifying the elements that correspond to the Freytag’s Pyramid labels on the handout.

Be sure to properly cite page numbers per MLA.

Instructions

Terrorism and the Internet

Prior to beginning work on this assignment read the Aldrich (2000) article (https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Cyberterrorism-and-Computer-Crimes%3A-Issues-the-of-Aldrich/f6a72f4e980feb8d672601598ea7b7d736314487?p2df) and view the Security Expert Amos Guiora: “Cyber Terrorism Poses an Enormous Threat” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zzNtjxo-bk) video. Review the instructions below and research a minimum of two additional scholarly resources to support your statements. (Access the MSCJ Professional Sources guide (https://ashford-mscj.weebly.com/) for assistance with finding appropriate resources.)

As you have learned throughout the course thus far, the world is just beginning to experience terrorist organizations’ usage of the Internet and social media. This new vanguard for terrorist recruitment, information dissemination, and even target planning and calls to action, require inventive and new methods to gain intelligence, identify terrorist organization members, and to ultimately thwart terrorist activities. The legal issues and investigative techniques for such defensive actions are just beginning to take shape.

Prepare a paper consisting of three to five pages (750 to 1250 words) analyzing the ways in which terrorist organizations utilize the Internet to advance their purposes.

Examine how police and international agencies can use social media to monitor terrorists’ activities and thwart terrorist acts.
Predict ways in which terrorist organizations may use the Internet and social media platforms in the future to advance their movements and/or causes.
Anticipate legal issues that will arise with new, terrorist uses of the Internet and social media.

Patriot Act & Homeland Security Act and Cyber Crime

Prior to beginning work on this discussion read the Fong and Delaney (2013) (Links to an external site.) article and the Mitchell and Pate online resource (https://www.nti.org/analysis/articles/homeland-security-goals-challenges/).

The destruction of the World Trade Towers, the attack on the Pentagon, and the crashing of Flight 93 in September 2001 changed the ways in which the United States sought to protect itself from enemies and criminals, both foreign and domestic. The two landmark criminal justice federal laws enacted after the attacks were the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act (HSA). This week our discussion examines both the Patriot Act and the HSA and their applications to cyber crime investigations. Students will explore provisions of both Acts and explain how they assist in cyber-crime deterrence and prosecution.

Your initial posts will be divided into two groups. Please see the instructions below to determine which topics you must include in your 400 word minimum initial post.

Last names beginning with the letters A through L
My last name starts with a J***
Address the following issues in your initial post:

Explain the major provisions of the Patriot Act which assist the U.S. government in deterring cyber crimes.
Point out at least one example of how the Patriot Act can be used as an effective tool in investigating cyber crimes.
Evaluate whether or not the Patriot Act violates traditional notions of privacy found in the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Critique whether or not the Patriot Act is the most effective way to deter and prosecute cyber crimes.
Suggest alternative methods and provide solutions for the federal government to more effectively combat cyber crime

Last names beginning with the letters M through Z
Address the following issues in your initial post:

Explain the purposes for the creation of the Homeland Security Act (HSA).
Point out at least one example of how the HSA can be used as an effective tool in investigating cyber crimes.
Critique whether or not the HSA is the most effective way to combat cyber crime at the federal level.
Suggest alternative methods and provide solutions for the federal government to more effectively combat cyber crime.

Combined, the Patriot Act and the Homeland Security Act created the foundation for federal cyber crime investigation and prosecution for decades to come. As with the institution of any sweeping, new federal legislation, critics abound. As future criminal justice professionals, your work will largely focus on implementing these two initiatives and seeking ways to continually improve their application to protect society. Evaluate whether or not the Patriot Act and Homeland Security Act would have been created had the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the downing of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania not occurred. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

Constitutional Issues – Right to Privacy

The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has traditionally applied to tangible materials: home, car, purse, personal belongings, etc. This Amendment states in pertinent part, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated…” In your 400 word minimum initial post, examine how this well over 200 year old amendment applies to the Internet and cyber crime investigations by addressing the following areas.

Explain how the 4th Amendment applies to non-tangible materials, such as the Internet, emails, and social media applications.
Analyze the “reasonable expectation of privacy” for individuals and corporations when utilizing the Internet.
Summarize the limits on governmental powers and methods to obtain private information from people and corporations garnered through the Internet.
Evaluate exceptions to the warrant requirement that police agencies can use to prosecute Internet crime.
