Analyze the responsibility of the United States today to be the world’s “policeman.”

Consider a few terrorist activities since the 1980s until today. Here is a starting point:

1983: United States Embassy in Beirut and Kuwait is bombed
1988: Osama bin Laden re-organizes Al Qaeda in Pakistan to carry out attacks
1993: World Trade Center Bombing (first time)
1995: Oklahoma City Bombing
1998: United Stated Embassy bombings Nairobi and Sar Es Salaam
2001: 9/11 Bombing of the World Trade Centers
2001: Bio Terrorism begins (anthrax letters and Bill Gates’s warnings on bio terrorism)
2013: Boston Marathon Bombings
2018: Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting

Then, address three (3) of the following and craft a response, as a whole, for your selections:

1. Explain if you think that global terrorism can be stopped.
2. Analyze the responsibility of the United States today to be the world’s “policeman.”
3. Assess if peace and stability in the Middle East are vital to U.S. economy and national security.
4. If the United States withdrew its troops from the Middle East tomorrow, would the terrorist threat end. Why or why not?
5. Assess if the use of military force is the only way to prevent terrorism. Are there other possible alternatives? Which strategy is best and why?

Describe of the risk each vulnerability or threat would have on the organization in terms of its people, network, data, or reputation. 

  • Consider the potential vulnerabilities or threats facing the organization.
  • Describe of the risk each vulnerability or threat would have on the organization in terms of its people, network, data, or reputation.
  • Explain each risk’s impact on the organization.
  • Provide a defined mitigation for each vulnerability, such as an incident response plan, disaster recovery plan, or business continuity plan. Give a defined reason why a vulnerability or threat would not be mitigated, such as the use of a different risk control strategy, if appropriate.

Compare the 2015 crime data from your home area to the overall rates for the United States.

  • Compare the 2015 crime data from your home area to the overall rates for the United States. For instance, how does the murder rate in your area compare to the overall US rate of 4.9 murders per 100,000 residents? How does your home area compare with the rest of the country in terms of overall violent crime and property crime?
  • Choose any two specific crimes that seem to be more common or less common in your area than the rest of the country. Define those crimes and explain why you believe the results are the way they are. For instance, if your area has a high incidence of auto theft, why do you think that is the case?

Part 2

Earlier this week, you examined a list of questions that illustrated the types of studies that criminologists conduct. Choose one of the questions listed or create your own. Then include the following in your post:

  • State the question you have chosen or created.
  • Describe how you think a criminologist would go about finding the answer to the question.
  • State what you expect a criminologist would find and explain why you expect this answer.
