(Brookes, 2001)
Mobile surveillance is when officials are monitoring the cell phone communication of a suspect. A good example of this; is when federal agents are listening in on the cell phone conversations of suspected terrorist leaders. (Brookes, 2001)
Camera surveillance is when video cameras are used to monitor what is occurring at a particular location. A good example would be when; surveillance cameras are used to monitor public infrastructure such as: the subway system for suspicious activity. (Brookes, 2001)
Social networking analysis is when you are monitoring the overall activities of someone on the different social networking sites. During the course of a terrorist operation, this would be used to establish the overall personality of the suspect; and determine how they are connecting with the rest of the organization. (Brookes, 2001)
Biometric analysis is when you are using biological features to identify suspects, such as: finger prints or facial recognition technology. An example, as to when this would be used in terrorism; would be when law enforcement is trying to indentify someone as the terrorist that they are looking for. (Brookes, 2001)
Aerial surveillance is when various aerial drones are used to gather information. An example of this; would be when an aerial drone is monitoring the activity of a terrorist operative in Yemen. (Brookes, 2001)
Satellite surveillance is when satellites are used to gather intelligence. In this particular case, officials could use the high resolution cameras to monitor the location of suspected terrorists.
Data mining is when you are looking for abnormalities to determine the activity that someone is up to. An example of this would include: monitoring those IP addresses for unusual activity at web sites that are known for terrorist activity. (Brookes, 2001)
Surveillance devices are when you are using electronic devices such as: bugs to gather intelligence. An example of this; is when; law enforcement is using a bug to listen to what suspected terrorists could be involved in. (Brookes, 2001)
Global position is when the police are planting an electronic tracking device to monitor the movement of an individual. An example of this would be: when law enforcement places a GPS tracking device in a vehicle, to see where suspected terrorists are going. (Brookes, 2001)
Left wing terrorism is when: individuals that are of particular left wing belief are engaging in terrorism, to have their concerns heard about a particular issue. An example of left wing extremism would be: the Simbonese Liberation Army. Who kidnapped Patty Hearst during the 1970's. Their overall objective; was to hold her for random, so that they can continue with their overthrow of the U.S. government. At which point, they would impose a communist leaning government. In this case, left wing groups want to see the ideals of communism, socialism or anarchy addressed. (Schmid, 2006)
Right wing terrorism is when: individuals are motivated to engage in acts of terrorism based on right leaning issues. An example of right wing terrorism; would be the Oklahoma City Bombing, where Timothy McVeigh was motivated by the writings in the white supremacist book the Turner Diaries. In this case, the right wing extremist wants to have their agenda addressed. The only way that they can achieve this objective is through violent means. (Schmid, 2006)
Single issue or special interest terrorism is when: the individual is motivated by a single issue to commit various acts of terrorism. An example of this; would be when animal rights activists break into a laboratory that is used in medical research. At which point, they destroy the lab and set the different animals that are experimented on free. In this particular case these individuals are motivated by the sole purpose of having their concerns pointed out on the one issue. (Schmid, 2006)
While all of the different terrorist may have underlying reasons for the activities that they engage in. The reality, is that all of these groups are using terrorism to point out issues; that they feel are not being addressed by the political process.

Cyber Crime Task Force "Are computer vulnerabilities growing faster than measures to reduce them? Carelessness in protecting oneself, tolerance of bug-filled software, vendors selling inadequately tested products, or the unappreciated complexity of network connectivity has led to…abuse…" (Lukasik, 2011). The evidence is overwhelming that cyber crimes are not only increasing each year, but the sophistication of the attacks is greater each year and the impacts of attacks are more severe each year
Law Enforcement Differences Between Various Levels Of Law Enforcement Federal prisons are for conviction under Federal laws. State prisons are similar in all concepts and applications but are for convictions under state statutes (Albanese, 2002). Privatized prisons are owned by the state in which they are in and have been tried (or are being used) by several states on the assumption that a privately operated prison will cost less money over
Zalmai Azmi, the FBI's chief information officer for the last year realized the need for change, even if it would garner political heat, and decided to implement changes to the organization known as the FBI. The change was related to the growing innovation behind technology and the September 11th attacks. The FBI's technological upgrade has been seen by some as lacking efficacy and reliability. Software dilemmas appear to be piling
War has undoubtedly shaped the course of human history. Conflicts, through sheer human nature often arise through disagreement. Occasionally these conflicts end with war as opposing sides believe so vehemently in their respective reasonings and doctrinal views. Oftentimes, these war's end with one "victor" and on defeated party, however, in war everyone losses. The Vietnam War in particular is an example of how war is a zero sum game that only
Criminal Investigation Investigative Task Force Assuming that legal authority was not an issue, should this investigation be conducted by VPD personnel or a multijurisdictional task force? This investigation should be carried about by VPD personnel as the lead agency and head of a multijurisdictional task force. There are several reasons for this. First, VPD was the first agency to begin investigation of the crimes because the first explosion and damage occurred there.
Mexico faces an array of drug-related problems ranging from production and transshipment of illicit drugs to corruption, violence, and increased internal drug abuse. Powerful and well-organized Mexican organizations control drug production and trafficking in and through Mexico, as well as the laundering of drug proceeds. These organizations also have made a concerted effort to corrupt and intimidate Mexican law enforcement and public officials. In addition, the geographic proximity of
