Submitting Your Assignment

Compose your Assignment in Microsoft PowerPoint and save it in the following format: Last name First name Assignment. (Example: SmithJohn_Unit4_Assignment2). Submit your Assignment to the Unit 4 Assignment 2 Dropbox by the end of Unit 4.

Choose one topic from the course that particularly struck your interest and explain why this was the case. Some possible topics might include the Supreme Court and some of its more important members; significant court decisions; important amendments and their impact; etc., etc. Be sure to provide plenty of relevant details and plenty of analysis. DO NOT SIMPLY TAKE ONE OF YOUR WEEKLY ESSAYS AND REPOST IT! This essay will be held to the same standards as the weekly essays, WITH AN ADDED EMPHASIS ON GRAMMAR.  If you are one of the students who has continually ignored the instructor’s comments regarding spelling, grammar, and the need to italicize court cases, this is your last chance to try to write like a college student.  Also, more is expected, since this is worth 40 points rather than only 20, so do not skimp on the length.  NO ESSAYS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 12 NOON ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11.

For this assignment, you will evaluate each scenario below.  You will use information throughout the course to help you provide a basic analysis of the limited information. 

Follow these instructions for each scenario:

From chapter 4: Assign a level of confidence (High, Moderate, Low).  If you were the intelligence official evaluating the information, how certain would you be of the credibility?  Explain why you would assign each scenario with a particular level of confidence.  Remember the recurring phrase heard in today’s IC: “All source is best” (pg. 101 in your text).

From chapter 4: What “INT” was used to collect this intelligence?  Is there another “INT” that could be used to gather more information that may be turned into useable intelligence?

From chapter 5: Are there barriers to analysis related to each scenario?  Any potential bias or potential for misperception?  If there are no easily identifiable barriers, explain your position.

From chapter 10: Are there any constitutional issues that need to be considered? Explain.  If not, explain why. 

From chapter 14: What type of threats are being considered, or should be considered? 
Guidelines to follow:

From chapter 6: Apply critical thinking skills to your assessment of each scenario.  Think out of the box and beyond the obvious.  Demonstrate your skills to do so by providing a well thought out analysis, avoiding unstated or unexplored assumptions, and considering any driving issues that may be in play.

From chapter 11: Write clearly and concisely. 

Scenario #1:
I received information that Saddam Hussein is hiding WMD in Iraq. I was told this by an informant that I havent known for very long. An intelligence agent working for one of our allies said this informant cannot be trusted. There isnt much else to go on, but my boss really needs this information to make a decision.

Scenario #2:
I have proof that a suicide bomber will board an airplane at 6:00 am on Wednesday morning. A very reliable source that I have trusted for years is in the inner circle of the bombers organization. He has taken a picture of a note being delivered by a courier that gives the go-ahead to complete this attack. He has also given me detailed plans of this attack and the individuals involved. I received confirmation that NSA has intercepted communications between the involved parties. The communications consist of discussions about the attack between two men from the same organization.

Scenario #3:
I have researched emerging violence occurring on the Mexican-American border. It appears that the violence is getting dangerously close to U.S. border patrol agents. One of the agents received a report from several civilians that the drug cartels are considering launching an attack intended to kill agents and civilians at one of the border crossings. I sent a new source to verify the rumor. My source says it has been discussed by the Los Zetas but cannot confirm a definite time of the attack.

The constitutional rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights are most highly protected during the trial stage of a criminal proceeding. This is when the adversarial process, which characterizes the U.S. criminal justice process, is at its peak. Use the Strayer Online Library (https://research.strayer.edu) to research, identify, and discuss a criminal case from within the last three years. Analyze and evaluate the steps which brought the individual to trial beginning with the arrest phase of the process.

Write a 4- to 6-page paper in which you:
Summarize the events leading up to the arrest and identify and discuss the four elements of the arrest related to this case.
Identify the four requirements for search and seizure with a warrant and describe how the search and seizure process was carried out for this case.
Explain the various aspects of the plain view doctrine and describe how this is relevant to this case.
Compare and contrast the various means of identifying suspects and describe the process used in this case.
Summarize the basic constitutional rights of the accused during trial.
Use at least five quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

A common theme is emerging in both the study of criminal justice as well as among practitioners and government officials that the criminal justice system is in need of reform. One suggestion, although not a new one, is to re-examine citizen oversight/review of police. 

Part 1 –  Based on findings from the academic literature, assess the utility of citizen oversight in reform.  You may find it useful to examine the NCJ report that describes the different types of oversight,

Part 2 Reform of any kind is often difficult for many reasons, including political buy-in (i.e. getting politicians to support changing codes/legislation), buy-in from citizens, and buy-in from criminal justice actors, in this case, law enforcement agencies and officers. 
How would you propose buy-in from all of these entities to enact civilian review?

Please note that this is not asking your opinion of civilian review.  I am asking you to examine the literature and devise the most effective form of citizen review based on your reading of that literature.  Steer clear of online resources and professional publications that are opinion-based and/or not founded in the research of some form.

The key is to make sure you have thoroughly answered all parts of the question. Be sure that your final product is in the correct APA format and that you include both in-text citations and a reference page in APA format.

As you progress through the modules of the course, you are learning how the United States Intelligence Community operates as it pertains to the 5-Disciplines of Intelligence Collection. For this assignment, you will have an opportunity to deal with a real national intelligence collection issue, the Iranian nations capabilities to acquire and utilize a nuclear weapon, as well as their ability to fund and utilize terrorist groups to attack U.S. interests and allies.

You will assume the role of a DNI analyst and you will be tasked to conduct a 3-page open source analysis of the Iranian threat. You will then identify at least 3 Intelligence gaps that resulted from your OSINT analysis. Next, you will assemble an intelligence collection plan in which you appropriately task the members of the United States Intelligence Community. The plan will include at least six intelligence collection requirements, an agency assignment for each requirement, and a justification for assigning that agency.

I have included a sample collection requirement. You are welcome to use the intelligence gap and intelligence requirement used here in your paper, along with two other gaps and five other intelligence collection requirements you create. There is no page limit for this assignment but you’re probably looking around 7-8 pages of analysis. 3 pages for the OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) overview of the Iranian threat and 4-5 pages for the collection plan. Usually the best way to break down the paper is 3-4 pages of OSINT analysis on the Iranian Threat, then 4-5 pages for the collection plan. As long as
it’s at least 3 gaps and 6 requirements you’re good to go!

The idea of this assignment is that each step will build on itself. Through the OSINT analysis (only one we can really utilize since we don’t have access to classified) you will identify intelligence gaps, as in information you wanted to acquire but didn’t have. Once you have your gaps identified, you will create intelligence collection requirements that intelligence collectors from your assigned agencies will use to collect information to answer the requirements and close the gaps.

Short Scenario:

During a recent briefing, the Deputy DNI (Director of National Intelligence) for Intelligence Integration advised that the President informed his cabinet that he feared that the Government of Iran would join North Korea as a rogue nation with nuclear weapons capability.  He wanted to ensure that the IC was doing everything possible to prevent and counter the spread of WMDs, and that the United States Government was prepared to respond to any scenario involving the possibility of Iran possessing nuclear weapons.  The Director is meeting with the members of the IC and White House staff to update the IC (Intelligence Community) requirements for our national security.  In anticipation of this, the Deputy DNI has instructed you to prepare a draft collection plan that encompasses the entire IC and concentrates on the mission and asset management of the second (Determine Resource Availability and Capability) and third (Task Resources) stages of the collection plan.  He also asked that you perform a preliminary OSINT collection prior to tasking the IC along the 5 Disciplines of Intelligence Collection.  The Deputy DNI asked that you be specific in assessing the capabilities and tasking of the IC as it pertains to the Iranian capabilities.  He further advised that although the Department of Defense oversees multiple IC organizations, such as the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the National Reconnaissance Organization, and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, you must task the specific agency.

Explain how the Western and non-communist European nations rebounded and rebuilt economically after the Second World War while, at the same time, relinquishing control of many of their colonies. How did relations change between nations in the 1950s and 60s? How did relations with colonies and former colonies change?

Your essay should be at least two pages in length and be double spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font. Outside sources are not required; however, when directly quoted or paraphrased works of others are used in any manner, the writer is obligated to properly cite the source of the original material.
