However, once Clinton was in office, he shifted focus from crime, and began addressing other civic concerns (Marion & Oliver, 2012). The first 100 days of Clinton's presidency were largely quiet; congress neither drafted, nor was it pressured into formulating any anti-crime policies during this period (Carter, 2006)
1). A 28% reduction in crime was reported in California between 1995 and 2006 (Fields, 2006)
It is the basis through which new resources are injected into crime-control efforts at the local level to enable police work hand in hand with their local communities (DOJ, 1999). In the state of California, "crime rates remain at historically low levels," and although this trend cannot be fully attributed to the Violent Crime Control Law, the possibility of its contribution cannot be ruled out (Lofstrom & Raphael, 2013, p
This text dwells particularly on the policy of grassroots/community policing, and the "100, 000 Cops" initiative, to which the bill allotted a substantial $8.8 billion in funds (Marion & Oliver, 2012, the Legal Dictionary, 2014)
The costs, needless to say, have turned out to be quite considerable. And what does law enforcement have to show for over a decade of pursuing this new top priority? Aaronson's 2011 examination of terrorism-related arrests in the first decade after September 11 demonstrates that most of what has occurred is entrapment orchestrated by law enforcement itself -- statistically he offers that 48% of arraigned "terrorists" were "targeted by an informant," 31% were "nabbed via a sting" and 10% were "lured in by an informant who led the plot" (Aaronson 2011, 38)
In point of fact, the American and Mexican governmental attempts to contain Los Zetas have been miserable failures, but the most significant threat to the organization may have come from an otherwise unrelated group, one which indeed blurs the lines between organized criminal activity and terrorist activity, namely the "hacktivist collective" referred to as "Anonymous." The Guardian on November 2, 2011, reported that the loose affiliation of computer hackers had obtained substantial records that could be used to "expose collaborators with [the] cartel," which resulted in Los Zetas "hiring its own security experts to track the hackers down" (Arthur 2011)
bank notes across the southwest border annually as they seek to circumvent banking regulations and the suspicions aroused by large cash deposits, studies by federal officials, regulators and academics show." (Booth and Miroff, 2010)
The three noteworthy examples of domestic terrorism perpetrated on Americans by Americans all demonstrate their status as ideologically motivated terrorism, and also as far-flung outliers. But in each of these three incidents we can at least understand the motivation as being ideological and therefore solidly within a definition of what terrorism is -- even the Haymarket bombing, which may not have been perpetrated by anarchists but "likely as not a Pinkerton agent provocateur," would have had an ideological motivation of discrediting the anarchist movement (as a "false flag" operation of sorts) if it was not an anarchist-perpetrated act of terror (Green 2007, 230)
Since it began, both administrations who have waged it have expressly acknowledged its virtually indefinite - and thus unique - nature." (Greenwald 2012)
The first is known as a 'net worth analysis,' generally used where the target has conspicuous assets, and a 'source and application of funds analysis,' generally used where the target has conspicuous spending habits." (Richards 1999, 215)
The Haymarket bombing may or may not have been perpetrated by anarchists, but even if it was the ideological threat posed by anarchism was more frightening to law and order as an ideology than as a political reality. Likewise McVeigh's deranged motives -- as far-right libertarian revenge attack on the idea of governmental overreach, as vengeance for Federal raids gone wrong at Waco and at Ruby Ridge in the early nineteen-nineties -- were not shared by anyone on the American right, even if he might have been seen as a direct inheritor of anti-government rhetoric from the political right wing in America (Serrano 1998, 73)
What is astonishing is not that such a large drug-trafficking organization would need to launder money but the fact that they were so brazen in the way that the did it: the Times reports that their activity began with buying "an estimated $3 million in quarter horses, including one named Number One Cartel" and eventually attained a level where "the Zetas funneled about $1 million a month into buying quarter horses in the United States." (Thompson 2012)
As a result, national borders have become increasingly porous." (Williams 1997, 318)
The internet allows the ability to create an online presence that has virtually no relevance to the real world character of the user. People can now create an online presence with the ability to construct a range of pseudonymity that was never before possible (Gyorgy, 2002)
S. Justice Department warned the company about suspicious activity involving payment cards; about 40 million payment card records were stolen from the retailer, along with 70 million other records with customer information such as addresses and telephone numbers (Jayakumar, 2014)
First, the security officers will be specialized in dealing with the sporting events. Second, they operate with fewer restrictions but with greater focus (Adam, n
Security Private Security vs. Law Enforcement: Matrix Summary "Private security and public law enforcement share many of the same goals: preventing crime and disorder, identifying criminals, and ensuring the security of people and property," ("Private Security and Public Law Enforcement," n
The intensification of police patrols represents a hybridization of the traditional "law enforcement" and "crime fighting" police functions. The case study is significant because it provided the basis to test the theory that reducing the number of guns in an area would prevent crime, and counters the argument that more guns would result in less incidences of crime (Sherman, Shaw, & Rogan, 1995, p
Lauderdale, is the village's first city marshal, Kossie Goodbread, was awarded the monthly salary of 40.00 and 1.00 bonus for each arrest (Ruby, 2012)
In general, their primary mandate is to help maintain societal order and the rule of law by assisting subjects with legal compliance, protecting property, helping to keep citizens and property safe and secure, and for assistance in extraordinary events. The police force is part of the social order of society and mediates public events, pre-empts anti-social behaviors, helps mitigate potential dangers at large events, works with other agencies in general search and rescue, crowd control, regulations, education and awareness campaigns, and to support the rule of law (Cole, 2004)
