Assignment
Subject: Homeland Security and Terrorism: Intelligence and Law Enforcement: APA style
Prior to 9/11 intelligence and law enforcement were thought of as separate areas that did not necessarily overlap. Law enforcement is focused on bringing a criminal to justice while intelligence is focused on national security and potential military action.
After 9/1 we changed the way we defined terrorism and now we consider it both a threat to national security and criminal.
Prepare a research paper that analyses the intersection and divergence of the intelligence and law enforcement communities. In your paper you will:
• Identify the agencies and types of organizations involved in law enforcement and in intelligence.
• Identify the regulations that control law enforcement and those that control the intelligence community with respect to obtaining information and evidence, classic and electronic surveillance, questioning and capture. Compare and contrast. Consider the effects and reasons for these.
• Review the history of cooperation (or lack there of) between the two fields. Discuss changes, progress, and remaining hurdles.
Present facts, research and expert opinion to support your position. Your paper should be approximately 2,500 words, use at least 5 academic sources, and be formatted and cited in APA style.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
