Assignment:
The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.
To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates' initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of the week.
Anti-Terrorist Actions and Civil Liberties
The battle against terrorism and organized crime has led some to advocate stricter police actions. One visible change that followed 9/11 was the enhanced airport security procedures, such as removing shoes for inspection. Determining the extent to which police and government should go in order to gather intelligence or conduct an investigation is a matter of ongoing debate.
Discuss what law enforcement should be doing to protect U.S. citizens from future attacks. How can law enforcement agencies identify terrorists living on U.S. soil? What methods should be used to monitor terrorist activities?
Should foreign suspects be brought to trial in the same manner as U.S. citizens? Should citizenship bestow more rights upon a suspect than a non-citizen would receive?
Is it permissible or desirable for the police to utilize drones as surveillance tools?
Support your responses using appropriate examples and references from the textbook, websites, other references, or personal experience.
Cite any sources using APA format on a separate page. Let's learn how to cite sources using APA guidelines.
