Even thenm once in a while the heads of the more powerful families would meet to work out differences (Meltzer, 1990, pp. 40-41). Still, striking at the mob could not be effected easily by the use of normal investigative methods alone.
Indeed, the failure of the FBI to use even those methods in a concerted manner is noted by Kessler (2002), who reports that Hoover usually claimed that the FBI had no jurisdiction in such cases, which Kessler denies, citing laws on interstate transportation of stolen goods. During the Kennedy Administration, Hoover was forced to admit that organized crime existed and also put more pressure on the mafia as a result. Still, as Kessler (2002) notes, "the bureau still adopted a haphazard, piecemeal approach, charging Mafia figures if they submitted a false loan application to the government, for example. Having been allowed to grow, the Mafia was now difficult to…...

egardless of these facts, the media failed to put arguments such as these on the front page of the paper because of the control the Administration had on the media channels at the time. It is rather difficult to say the extent to which the independent or small town media actually covered the stories, with its details and discoveries. The internet search can prove more useful, but for the aim of the sociological research, it is not relevant for the case in point, given the fact that the internet is yet to be spread around the world and throughout the U.S. This is why the written media has a more important impact on the population.
The impact and the message sent across were crucial for the U.S. And its president. It offered the legitimacy needed to go to war in Afghanistan and then Iraq. This is largely due to the fact…...

However, the Academy of Sciences definition of the term enterprise architecture also extends beyond mere IT architecture, although such architecture will certainly support the Academy's definition. This definition denotes "a detailed characterization of the bureau's goals, tasks, strategies, and key operational processes" (National Academy of Sciences, 2004). These objectives would then be facilitated by IT solutions it implement them.
One of the most important lessons learned in this particular case study is the fact that the lack of support from upper-level management can certainly hamper any efforts towards enterprise level of IT solutions. Although funding was certainly there for Trilogy, many upper level executives did not want to become involved in the process because of the perceived difficulty not only in implementing IT solutions -- thereby linking reams of legacy data from an assortment of disparate silos -- but also because of actual difficulties in getting representatives from different departments…...

Introduction The USS Cole Bombing in October 2000 was a prelude to the intense focus on the spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) that the FBI took up in earnest one year later in the wake of and in response to 9/11. With the killing of several crewmen and the wounding of several more, the USS Cole Bombing was in reality just one more terrorist incident in an already growing line of attacks (both foreign and domestic) that revealed a pressing need for a counterproliferation strategy. When the USS Cole was hit in Aden harbor, the FBI began focusing on suspects who would later be tied to 9/11 and the spread of terror cells throughout the Middle East.[footnoteRef:2] It was not, of course, the only incident to spark that focus—but it was an important factor in the development of a new counterproliferation strategy that would inevitably become the plan to…...
Criminal Justice Issues
Since there is no official legal definition of sexual homicide, therefore sexual homicide cannot be truly characterized as criminal behavior.
Reaction
Although there is no specific legal definition for sexual homicide, homicides that are listed as "criminal" include the killing of humans by either murder or manslaughter, so a closer look at what "sexual homicide" really refers to is warranted. In the book Sexual Murder: Catathymic and Compulsive Homicides, Louis B. Schlesinger explains that there is a "blurred distinction between a sexual murderer and a sex offender who commits a murder" (Schlesinger, 2003, p. 6). The sexual offender who murders his victim may not have intended to commit the murder at all; the victim may have resisted and the offender responded violently and killed the person. Hence, Schlesinger writes that this was not a "sexually motivated" murder because murder wasn't on the mind of the killer at the start of…...

FBI vs. Apple in elation to the Patriot Act
America is divided over the tradeoff between personal privacy and security needs. The focus is, now, on the government surveillance, but there are concerns over how data is being used by businesses. The issue was raised after the federal court was requested to force Apple to assist the FBI to unlock one of the phones used by a suspect in the terrorist attack carried out in December 2015 in San Bernardino, Californian (ainie and Maniam, 2016). Apple petitioned the order to safeguard the security of other iPhone users. This provoked a national conversation on how far the technological firms should go in as far as protecting their privacy and cooperating with law enforcement agencies is concerned.
The unfolding events have had an impact on how the public feels about the issue. Terrorism generates a lot of anxiety. A good example is the San…...

There have been several attempts in the past to resolve cultural conflicts between the two groups. The need to develop greater cooperation is a shared goal. In the 1990s, the FBI and CIA formed a group of top executives called the Gang of Eight, whose purpose was to attempt o resolve the cultural divide between the two groups. This group encouraged an exchange program where members of the CIA and members of the FBI would work for the other organization so that they would learn more about how the other one worked (Gorman, 2001).
In 1999, it was determined that the efforts at cooperation had been successful. They felt that they had accomplished their goals and that their work was done (Gorman, 2001). However, after 9/11 the old feud was rekindled as each side attempted to shift blame to the other one. This represents a transactive goal and a dysfunctional…...

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 up. The FBI effectively abandoned its custom-built Internet surveillance technology, code name, Carnivore. This software was designed to read e-mails and other online communications in relation to suspected criminals, terrorists and spies, according to bureau oversight reports submitted to Congress.
To remedy the failure of the software, the FBI decided to switch gears and use an unspecified commercial software to eavesdrop on computer traffic where they would pay ISPs to monitor and wiretap their customers, the customers the FBI believes are…...

Abstract
This paper addresses the FBI and its agents lacking funds to live in major cities where they must work. The major issue is the lack of control within the FBI and the risk that agents will fall to corruption.
Introduction
With the FBI in dangerous territory due to budget restrictions and funding issues, the fear that the Director faces is one that could undermine the entire Bureau. If the Bureau cannot afford to pay its agents fair wages, those agents—who are privy to all manner of intelligence—become susceptible to fraud, bribery, kickbacks, and other types of corruption just to make ends meet. Already this is being seen with cases of FBI agents like Robert Lustyik, convicted of bribery (Clark, 2015; Huynh, 2015). Preventing this type of situation would be the best type of control to implement, as the situation presented in the case given to the Director is what that calls for…...

Apple vs. FBI
What is this controversy about?
A federal court judge approached Apple, in the month of February, to seek assistance for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in unlocking an iPhone that was seized from Syed Farook, the man charged with committing the San Bernardino shootings in December that claimed fourteen lives. Apple was asked to offer reasonable technical aid to American authorities; this would entail overhauling of the system by which phones get disabled after ten wrong passwords are keyed in. As soon as this system gets activated, phone data cannot be accessed at all. Apple refused to aid the FBI. Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, claimed the order was 'chilling', stating that they would have to write new software, which had to be the master key that could unlock several million locks. Cook argued that even if one phone became accessible to the FBI, there was no telling how many…...

S. policy regarding limiting numbers from rising too high. Although around 2,000 refugees in Iraq arrive in the United States per year, there have been many denials. What Pincus points out is that the policy regarding dealing with these refugees is improving to better help provide them a safe environment.
This improved policy on immigration of war refugees coming out of Iraq will most defiantly disperse this group within a wider spectrum of the population. This dispersion will also spread the real life stories of those refugees who actually lived in the war zone, thousands of miles from American soil. Here is where Hamid's opinions start to take over.
Mohsin Hamid would definitely explore this topic as a way for ignorant Americans to get a first hand account of U.S. foreign policy. Increasing numbers of war refugees will bring a new face, much more real; to the war on terror which most…...
The FBI, Counterproliferation, and Weapons of Mass Destruction The United States government significantly increased activities in programs involved in the protection of the nation and the world against weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in 2009 and 2010. The Obama Administration, in December 2009, gave a presidential policy directive aimed at countering biological threats with a focus on infectious illnesses whether such threats were manmade or natural. It was the second such directive the Administration had issued. The Quadrennial Defense Review in 2010 emphasized on how WMD’s proliferation was a threat to global security. In April of the same year, the Administration unclassified the Nuclear Posture Review for the first time and it was released alongside the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. The treaty was aimed at lowering the number of deployable US and Russian weapons. Representatives drawn from all over the world met in May with a goal of renewing the Nuclear…...

Serial killers are a topic that has fascinated people, beginning before the term was even coined. They have been romanticized in pop culture, but their crimes seem to be rooted in a personality disorder that keeps them from empathizing with others. They kill in a variety of ways and, when left unchecked, the number of people that they can kill can get into the 100s.
