Terrorism, Hate Crimes, and Racial Profiling
The challenge of terrorism against the United States led the
government to create the Department of Homeland Security with
the hope of leveraging federal, state, and local police agencies,
intelligence agencies, and immigration agencies to cooperate in
communicating findings and creating joint efforts to stop threats
of terrorism or confronting a terrorist attack.
The current threat of terrorism has made many senators and
representatives in Congress think about the United States
combining all of its police agencies into one national police
organization. The centralization of power would stop the
discombobulated nature of the 3 government levels of police
and provide a clear, overall standard on how to police not only
terrorism acts but crime in general.
Please answer the questions below. Give your opinion
concerning the topics, and provide examples. Discuss your
findings as far as any statistics that you list concerning the
victims. You have an opportunity to discuss your thoughts about
what options might be taken concerning victims of racial
profiling. Be sure to back up your opinions with facts from
cited sources.
· Do you believe that the establishment of terrorism as a crime
that can be committed domestically has changed policing? How?
Why? Provide examples.
· Have the number of victims of racial profiling increased over
the last decade?
· What laws and services are available for victims of racial
profiling?
· What other actions might be taken on behalf of victims of
racial profiling?
· Has the Department of Homeland Security helped fight
terrorism, or has it simply duplicated the efforts and
jurisdictions of other agencies? How has it helped?
· Be sure to cite all references in APA format.
Deliverable Length: 3-4 pages
