Kostadinov goes on to note that most cyberterrorism actions are generally focused on website sabotage and email blasting. In order to prove that the network breach was a terrorist attack the company would need to provide electronic evidence of these types of information warfare. Information warfare is a term often used interchangeably with cyberterrorism but provides a deeper understanding in the shift of how data has become fundamental to society. As governments, companies and people shift to the use of digital information so have the methods used to attack (Gilmer, 2001). In order to combat this aspect of terrorism, the military have adopted computer forensics as part of their defenses (Vacca & Rudolph, 2011).
Many organized crimes have evolved from illegal immigrants, not to mention the bridge that has enabled cross-border terrorism. Having participants on both sides of the border give better intelligence to form many terrorist attacks within this country. “International fraud, money laundering and other economic crimes (particularly carried out via the Internet) are a growing problem, and one that can be expected to spread.” (Cetron & Davies, 2008) The increasing levels of cross-national crimes will raise the amount it costs for an investigation. This makes fighting these crimes significantly more expensive. There is suspicion that these immigrants will start to impose hate crimes within this
The Issue Since September 11th 2001 the United States have been at war with terrorists who have brought the fight to America’s homeland. This is not the first time wars have been fought within the American borders, but recent events in history have kept the majority of fighting off of American soil. “The militarization of domestic policing in the United States coincided with the onset of two ongoing "wars": the "war on drugs," which began in earnest in the 1980s, and the "war on terror," which assumed much greater dimensions in the early 2000s. Like any other war, these conflicts utilize military personnel, equipment, and tactics to combat and eradicate real and perceived enemies” (Hall & Coyne, 2013). On 9/11 terrorist where able to murder over 3,000 people many who were civilians.
During times of war, it is understandable that the Government will be more apt to protect its people. In the United States, terrorism has become a major concern. This has come to light more recently after the 9/11 attack in 2004. Americans have been told that terrorism is their biggest enemy. Though in the attempts to obtain security, the people of the United States are giving up their freedoms and others are having those same freedoms taken away from them.
Al-Qaeda would eventually use tactics used by the IRA decades before. Both organizations have political and religious motives and use bombings and killings to spread fear of their group, including purposely targeting civilians within their own borders, as well as different sects of the same base religion. Where Al-Qaeda has orchestrated attacks all over the globe, the IRA has kept its target as the British and non-supporting Irish parties. Both of these groups have been in decline in recent years, Al-Qaeda due to immense pressure from global anti-terrorism, the IRA from a shift in using terrorism as a tool and lack of
Unit 7 Writing Assignment Elise Siegel Essentials of Policing Rachel Doolos November 6, 2011 The effects of terrorism on modern day policing can be seen in several different areas. Terrorism has led to an increase in racial profiling. Police are more likely to look suspiciously at someone who looks to come from a Middle Eastern descent then they would have been before September 11th. Another change to policing has been the development of the National Incident Management System. This new system provides a consistent response to several different situations for federal, state and local government agencies.
With the development of strategic warfare the lines between war and terrorism have blurred through a gradual change in the tactics and technology used by military, paramilitary, and other fighting forces. Previous to WWI war was a conventional manner, with large armies fighting over a battle-ground. In the same respect, until the early 1900’s terrorism was a human-to-human contact matter, with terrorists shooting, or stabbing their targets at close proximity. With the development of strategic weapons such as, planes, gun-mounted boats, submarines, and bombs of various forms, a change in the tactics used by terrorists and militaries have taken a strategic turn, breeding new similarities between the actions of the State and that of the Terrorist. Terrorism can be defined as, ‘The unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.’ (FBI).
With the rapid development of the society, Internet plays a larger and larger role in our daily life. The question of how free we are when we express ourselves online also becomes an issue. The Supreme Court deals with a case called Elonis v. United States this term, which involves a man says on Facebook that he will kill his wife, a FBI agent, and bomb an elementary school. As far as I am concerned, the Supreme Court should limit the extension of such kind of violent speech because it has already caused threats to other individuals and the society as a whole, and such fact is more important than whether he intended to do so or not. Elonis believes that his right of free speech under the protection of the First Amendment was violated.
Art of War by Sun Tzu Sun Tzu is the author of “Art of War”, one of the most influential and sought-after books about strategies in battles. However, the Art of War now applied in other fields like politics, business, sports and many more. Of course we all know that in “Art of War”, Sun Tzu was talking about warfare and strategies that can be used to defeat you enemy but, it can also be used to explain human behavior. More specifically there will be quotes pulled from this book to show how they can also be used to examine the behavior of businessmen and college students away for the first time. Master sun said: “Weigh the situation carefully Before making a move.
The Tampering of Freedom of Speech In the Media Gilbert Anthony Martinez Charlotte Samuels Political Science 100 November 12, 2011 In this day and age of modern society dealing with an information based civilization, some people and agencies have a hard time with handling new and expressive forms of art and technological materials and due to this, our first amendment rights of freedom of speech are being violated unknowingly to many. We as a people are heavily influenced by the media and multimedia entities such as television, music, film/cinema, video games, the press, and of course the internet which is the fastest tool used in spreading information worldwide. With the extreme advances in technology and complexity, the world is now being exposed to new and astonishing mediums of art, expression, popular culture, and informative material that seem to anger the government, which in turn, policies supporting censorship are enforced or trying to become enforced. With the ever expanding process of technology innovation, these multimedia sources have gained more and more attention and are becoming increasingly more common. In terms of the general public, the media is most commonly understood or perceived as merely a means of entertainment.
