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)
Theoretically, the agency was formed to eliminate waste, duplication of effort and bureaucracy. However, since its inception, it has been critized for over excessive bureaucracy, ineffectivness in its mission, and the waste of billions of dollars in federal contracts (Hedgpeth, 2008)
It also ensures that appropriate duties and taxes are collected on the alchohol and cigarette industires, and that the products are legitimate. The ATF works closely with other agencies, particularly the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) to monitor and prosecute illigal smuggling activities involving firearms or illegal substances (Kurian, 2010)
However, since the latter decades of the 20th century, American law enforcement and policing have become world class in terms of their organizational sophistication, operational capabilities, and ethical values. The Early History and Evolution of Modern American Policing The first formally organized and funded municipal police department was the New York City Police Department in 1845, followed shortly after by several of the other largest American cities such as Boston, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia within the next decade (Conlon, 2004; Scmalleger, 2008)
By the latter part of the century, constitutional standards of police and criminal procedure had developed sufficiently to allow for uniform standards on a national level, but isolated instances of large-scale institutional corruption erupted periodically, such as that disclosed by the Knapp Commission in New York in the early 1970s (Conlon, 2004). While federal and local law enforcement authorities developed elements of mutual antagonism in many respects, the aftermath of 9/11 inspired substantial change in that regard and has resulted in considerable cooperation at every level, particularly but not exclusively in the counterterrorism capacity (Johnson, 2007; Spiller, 2006)

Today, American policing has evolved into a highly regulated field in which sophisticated methods are used to select and train the best qualified candidates (Schmalleger, 2008)
To portray how serious the acpect of cyberattacks is to the states, the people employed to deal with the menace are fulltime employees and soldiers, most have worked for employers who deal in internet service like Verizon, Microsoft, Google and Cisco. This gives them the ample time and the best technical skills to handle the criminals who exploit the internet for their own illegal gains (Homeland Security News Wire, 2014)
