This document provides an overview of organized crime and discusses key concepts. It begins by summarizing a famous organized crime case involving John Gotti. It then notes that organized crime is becoming more transnational and poses a global threat. The document identifies attributes of organized crime such as being hierarchical, having exclusive membership, using violence, and having a division of labor. It also discusses various models that have been used to represent organized crime syndicates, including Cressey's cosa nostra model and Block's enterprise and power syndicate models. The challenges of defining and understanding organized crime are also mentioned.
This presentation provides an overview of human trafficking and the role of local law enforcement officers in identifying and assisting victims. It defines sex and labor trafficking, explains how victims are exploited, and discusses common myths. Local officers are well-positioned to identify trafficking cases beneath the surface of other crimes like prostitution or domestic abuse. The presentation outlines signs that suggest a situation involves trafficking and advises officers on communicating with victims to address fears and build trust. The goal is to recognize victims, stop ongoing crimes, and connect victims to services while respecting the protections of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
The document discusses how laws intended to protect national security and enforce immigration can be abused and lead to racial profiling and inequality. It provides examples of immigration laws throughout American history that discriminated against non-white groups. While laws like Stop and Frisk and post-9/11 security measures had good intentions, they also gave power to law enforcement that could infringe on civil liberties and target minority groups disproportionately. The document argues that racial profiling has been a problem in the application of laws around national security, immigration, and police stops from the founding of the US to the present day.
This document provides background information on Shared Hope International's Protected Innocence Legislative Framework and Methodology for analyzing state laws related to domestic minor sex trafficking.

States are analyzed based on specific questions within these 6 areas to determine if
This document discusses organized crime. It defines organized crime as groups that use unlawful means like violence, threats, or corruption to gain money or advantages. It describes the characteristics of organized crime groups as having teamwork, hierarchies, planning, and effective member control. The activities of organized crime include narcotics, gambling, human trafficking, and money laundering. There are different types of organized crime like gangs, racketeering, and syndicates. The document also discusses the levels of relationship between organized crime and political corruption.
The document discusses the role of the US Federal Government in controlling organized crime over time. It outlines how organized crime groups like the Italian mafia emerged in the 1800s and began activities like drug trafficking and money laundering. It describes some of the government's early efforts to prosecute individuals like Al Capone in the 1920s. The document also notes that currently, African criminal groups are developing rapidly and pose a growing threat, as well as how new technologies are enabling more complex crimes that are harder for law enforcement to address. It concludes that the government will need to continue adapting to new forms of organized criminal activity.

Racial profiling involves targeting minorities by police and others without probable cause. It may be more common due to hate crimes, gang violence, the war on drugs, and terrorist attacks. Two controversial cases involved racial profiling that resulted in injury and death. Statistics show that African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to be pulled over and searched by police compared to whites. The media can help bring attention to issues of police corruption and racial profiling but may also influence public opinion. Preventing future cases of racial profiling requires stricter laws against the practice as well as more education for police and the public. Racial profiling should not be tolerated at any level.

Gabrielle HetlandAlthough the United States has a very stron.docxhanneloremccaffery
Gabrielle Hetland
Although the United States has a very strong and effective intelligence community, there are several unavoidable challenges that set back some of the processes and hinders the intelligence community from working to its full potential. The most important challenges that I see include flow of information, civil liberties and secrecy.
Since the United States does not have one large domestic intelligence agency that completes all intelligence-related tasks, it is much more difficult for them to be able to transfer information to the right people in a timely manner. I think it is very beneficial that we are able to have such a wide variety of intelligence agencies, each with a specific mission set so subject matter experts can focus on their mission to the best of their abilities, however, on the flip side, many of them have to jump through hoops to get additional information on certain subjects or track down the originator of a product. Having so many different agencies requires a lot more work to get a good flow of communication between the agencies and a lot of valuable information can be lost in the process.
Civil liberties always has and always will be a major challenge for the intelligence community. In order to do their job effectively, intelligence personnel need to be able to conduct surveillance around the clock. Especially in today’s world, people do not want their rights to private taken away, making this jobs very difficult for intelligence and law enforcement personnel. With the rise of domestic terrorism and homegrown extremists, the IC will continue to need increased access in to people’s lives and workplace in order to detect these criminals and prevent future activity.
Lastly, secrecy has been a major challenge to the IC because much of the information dealt with is classified and needs to remain a secret for national security concerns, however, people do not want information kept from there. It is difficult to determine what information should be released to the public to ensure their safety while at the same time, not disrupting an operation. I think the IC has done everything right so far in regards to these issues. There is really no way to fix these challenges while at the same time maintain the high level of national security that we have.

Human Trafficking in United States of America.
Human trafficking is among the Criminal activities that have been so common in most countries worldwide. Some of these countries suffer from the organized crimes by a group of gangsters. The fascinating thing is that majority of these criminal activities are observant with rational choicer theory and the conspiracy theory. By observing these theories imply that the organizers of the crime do it under their full conscience. Before they do the crime, they calculate the impacts of crime and find it more beneficial. They overlook the adverse effects to be outshined by the positive impact. Criminal cases take different nature; some may be due to robbery with violence. Some may be due to conning where the perpetrators of the criminal activity apply their witty character to get what they need from the victims. Human trafficking is one of the criminal activities that has since been ravaging the United States of America.

Others use religious intervention by preaching to people worldwide so that the criminals can change their minds and avoid involved in criminal activities.
