...Adjusting to Terrorism Zanetta Eave CJA/454 December 2, 2013 Ms. Candy Atkins Adjusting to Terrorism The adjustment to terrorism can be quite a lengthy process. Americans today see terrorism in the United States starting on September 11, 2001. That in itself is not true, terrorism has been going on in America for quite some time. Our hugest terrorist are not foreign they are home grown. America has different sectors of terrorist such as the Ku Klux Klan, Bloods, Cripps, Black Gorillas, Italian Mafia, Aryan Brotherhood, etc. Most Americans’ do not look at these different groups as terrorist, and this is how we adjust to their existence. “We see outsiders as the eternal evil” (Hing, 2004, pg. 111). With that being stated this paper will focus on an administrative change that will enable the criminal justice system to more effectively combat terrorism. Reasons for Proposed Change The author resides in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where there are huge drug trafficking incidents. The drug cartel from Mexico has to travel through Oklahoma to get to Texas where they drop off their product. Local, state, and federal officials have been manning the Oklahoma highway for years to gain a better control of the situation. “On May 16, 2013 in Tulsa Oklahoma it was reported that 80 percent of meth in the state of Oklahoma is provided by the Mexican drug cartel” (Fullbright, 2013). The author believes that the criminal justice administration should automatically deport these criminals and...

...Adjusting to Terrorism University of Phoenix CJA/453 Criminal Justice Administration In today’s society there are many things this nation is up against and one of the main things is the war on terrorism. Terrorism is a high priority in the US for this is why we have so many agencies to track and prevent an attack. Unfortunately not all acts of terrorism is known, however what this paper will do is look at bioterrorism and examine what can make it better or worst in the efforts to combat it. Many believe that society may not be ready for a bioterrorism attack for this is why we have make some changes therefore making society feel like their nation is prepared in the event of a bioterrorist attack. One of the targets that would be on the front line in the event of an attack are the medical and health departments mainly emergency rooms, this is because with bioterrorism it is a chemical attack were antibiotics and medical attention would be needed immediately. This is what is purposed; first set a facility in place along with fully equipped doctors and medical emergency staff to handle any type of case in the event of a sudden attack. There also would be sets of individuals who will do research, put in time and effort to come up with several kinds of antibiotic in the event of an incident that there is no cure for. What this does is help supply a treatment until our teams of researchers can come...

...Boeing Management Planning Paper Marcia Davis MGT/330 January 12, 2011 Sylvester Taylor Boeing Management Planning Paper Boeing like many successful companies today does not stand still or rest on their laurels of previous accomplishments. If they do they can become vulnerable to competition, technology, changes in customer preferences, and the business environment. Instead, they use their current successes to continue to build a competitive advantage for the future, constantly seeking new ways to remain flexible, innovative, efficient, and responsive to their customers. One of the most important ways of accomplishing this is to make sure that their organization structures and systems remain adaptable. A business must always be prepared to meet the complex and ever-changing challenges that managers and their organizations constantly confront. Boeing like many other companies has to use innovations in design and manufacturing as well as a focus on quality and other vital factors in the development of airplanes. Not long ago Boeing was in turmoil in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorists attacks. (Bateman & Snell 2009) Boeing suffered turnover in their executive ranks that caused uncertainty coupled with their chief rival European-based Airbus surpassing them in annual sales, Boeing decided it was time to make some changes. The Boeing Company business has many members including employees, managers, chief executive officer James McNerney, and the board...

The paper evaluates, identifies and assesses recent future and current trends affecting the criminal justice system. Lastly, it defines the values of the system in a changing society. Recent trends affecting the criminal justice system are related to gender and racial barriers. According to Roslyn Muraskin and Albert R. Roberts (2009 ), assessments of statuses of women and minorities in police work shows that there are obstacles in official and informal structures of police work organizations related to gender and race. Regardless of assessment studies, which show that women are effective patrol officers, organizational principles of law enforcement has repelled the combination of women into patrol officers for more than 20 years. There are three kinds of organizational resistance to slowing down staffing and preservation of female patrol officers. The first organizational resistance is called Technical Resistance. Technical Resistance comprises of failure to adjust police uniforms, gear, and tools sufficiently for women, and constant issues on physical testing, and firearms during their drills, and preperations. The second organizational resistance is named Political and Cultural Resistance. According to Roslyn Muraskin...

...Abstract This paper seeks a philosophical insight of democracy in general and American democracy in particular by unfolding the paradoxes entailed to whittle a credible conclusion. It attempts to explore contradictions of democracy whether democracy is a best system of governance? Is true democracy possible? Has it to be moral in character? Why other systems of governance tend to challenge the basic fabrics of democracy? Why democracy has turned out to be more productive than other forms of government? Then focus shifts to paradoxes entailed in self evident truth of American democracy. Is American democracy a representative of a true democracy? Does it cater the smaller factions of society? Has the democratic system fostered the rights of liberty, justice, life and pursuit of happiness to good effect for masses once challenged by terrorism, racism, poverty and recession? What good it has brought to its people? Why does America deserve to lead world community? Finally, conclusion is inquired about by addressing the question that How American dream can be pursued in its true democratic meaning? Isn’t it strange that few render democracy as the bludgeoning of the people, by the people, for the people? On the other hand, for some, it is a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; a government after the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God; the idea of freedom. Idea of democracy as rule of people traces its expression from...

...crises, only one international carrier has consistently managed to increase revenue and report a profit for the last 25 years. This carrier is Emirates airline (Riva, 2013). Emirates has managed to achieve in less than three decades what giant and well established global carriers like British and Lufthansa managed in about five decades, and that is to serve all five continents without any alliances or partnerships. The objective of this term paper is to analyze some of the competitive dynamics that Emirates, legacy airlines and regional rivals have had to contend with and how Emirates has managed to come out on top especially in some business-hostile territories like North America and Europe. The history and origins of the Emirates airlines are highlighted as this paper outlines the business strategy that has propelled the carrier to international stardom. Also articulated from the research is the ambitious expansion that has European rivals worried and in some cases like Canada, the government stepping in to protect local carriers. The paper concludes by examining the viability of the carrier maintaining the growth and profitability curve and the expected rebound from regional carriers who seem to be currently languishing in losses as Emirates takes over their skies. Competitive Dynamics in Emirates Airlines Quest for Global Expansion The year was 1985; the place is Dubai, a sleepy gulf trade center and a small part of the seven Emirates that make up the...

...Internal Audit Chapter 5 Review 1. A business process is the set of connected activities linked with each other for the purpose of achieving an objective or goal. 2. Two general types of business processes are present in most organizations that deliver goods and services: the operating processes and the management and support processes. The operating processes include strategic planning, product and service design and development, marketing, production/delivery, invoicing, and collection. The management and support processes include obtaining and managing the organization’s human resources (this could include hiring, training, benefits), managing financial resources (including budgeting, financial accounting, treasury), managing the information technology resources, managing physical resources (facilities management, security, maintenance, etc.), the organization’s compliance and governance systems, and the process for managing the organization’s external stakeholders (government relations, public relations, etc.). 5. A top-down approach begins at the entity level with the organization’s objectives, and then identifies the key processes critical to the success of each of the organization’s objectives. A bottom-up approach begins by looking at all processes directly at the activity level, and then aggregates the identified processes across the organization. 7. The two common methods used to document processes are process maps and process write-ups. Process...

...MANAGING CRIME AND QUALITY OF LIFE USING COMPSTAT: SPECIFIC ISSUES IN IMPLEMENTATION AND PRACTICE By Dr. Vincent E. Henry* I. INTRODUCTION The highly effective management model or paradigm that has come to be known as Compstat was first developed within the New York Police Department in 1994 as a process for managing crime and quality of life in New York City. Compstat was developed in response to a very specific set of immediate needs confronting the NYPD at that time: the compelling need to bring spiralling rates of crime and disorder to within manageable bounds and to refocus the NYPD on its primary mission of effectively ensuring public safety by reducing crime and violence. Since its introduction in early 1994, Compstat has proven to be highly effective in achieving the goals for which it was initially intended. Over time it has also evolved and grown from a basic and fairly rudimentary process involving the collection and analysis of crime data as well as a mechanism for ensuring accountability and information-sharing into a more complex, more nuanced, and eminently more effective management paradigm. As Compstat grew and changed over time, so too did the issues and problems challenging the NYPD. As crime and public disorder offences declined to within more manageable limits, the agency had the luxury of turning its attention to a range of other management problems and issues. While reducing crime and disorder and increasing public safety have never lost their prominence...

A Bermuda-incorporated, Paris-headquartered firm, listed on the NYSE with US style investor protections and disclosure rules, a chief information officer in Bangalore, a chief finance officer in Brussels and a chief operating officer in Beijing may not sound nearly so fanciful in the near future.

...3 COUNTERTERRORISM EVOLVES In chapte r 2, we described the growth of a new kind of terrorism, and a new terrorist organization—especially from 1988 to 1998, when Usama Bin Ladin declared war and organized the bombing of two U.S. embassies. In this chapter, we trace the parallel evolution of government efforts to counter terrorism by Islamic extremists against the United States. We mention many personalities in this report. As in any study of the U.S. government, some of the most important characters are institutions. We will introduce various agencies, and how they adapted to a new kind of terrorism. 3.1 FROM THE OLD TERRORISM TO THE NEW: THE FIRST WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING At 18 minutes after noon on February 26, 1993, a huge bomb went off beneath the two towers of the World Trade Center.This was not a suicide attack.The terrorists parked a truck bomb with a timing device on Level B-2 of the underground garage, then departed.The ensuing explosion opened a hole seven stories up. Six people died. More than a thousand were injured. An FBI agent at the scene described the relatively low number of fatalities as a miracle.1 President Bill Clinton ordered his National Security Council to coordinate the response. Government agencies swung into action to find the culprits.The Counterterrorist Center located at the CIA combed its files and queried sources around the world. The National Security Agency (NSA), the huge Defense Department signals collection agency, ramped up its communications...

...as well as of visitors is guaranteed. After the 9/11 attacks, the level of policing had to move to the next level because, airports and planes were exposed as vulnerable means. In the United States, policing is done at different levels. The federal government through different local policing agencies does the coordination of all the activities. One of the major features in local authorities policing is the use of the police department located in different states of the country and cities for that matter. The Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) Police Department is one of such departments spread all over the country. The department, also known as the LAX Police Department has a rich history, which is evident from its long existence. This paper presents a research about the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) Police Department from an argumentative perspective. Different matters emanating from how the department operates in Los Angeles are discussed based on how a good policing entity operates when serving the public. The major responsibilities of the police are investigation of crime, patrolling, encouraging community participation in policing, and maintaining law and order (Tambe 42). This requires close coordination and cooperation between different policing experts within a department. It is important to note that police departments are run by security agencies who work under the federal government in a concerted manner. This means that investigative, traffic,...
