...Criminal Justice Process Alma L. Daniels AIU Criminal Justice Process How does the United States deal with problems related to civil order control? All one needs to do is to take a look at Kent State, Ruby Ridge, and Waco just to name a few to see how the United States deals with civil disorder. The United States Civil Disturbance Plan 55-2 the original name for this project is called “Operation Garden Plot.” This was to be used to deal with civil order. Here is one situation where they would use this “Planned acts of violence or civil disobedience which through arising from the cause as (1) above, are seized upon by a dedicated group of dissidents who plan and incite purposeful acts designed to disrupt social order.” (©2005, Yurica Report) So in order for the United States to maintain civil order control they can use this plan. They also can call out the following people FBI, U.S. Marshals’, DEA, ATF and the Arm Forces along with the National Guardsmen to deal with any civil uprising.

...Civil Disorder By Kevin Penn CRJS305 Unit 2 ~ IP American InterContinental University February 21, 2013 Abstract In this assignment I will be looking at and giving examples of three totally different types of and yet still civil disorder researching and describing what happens when a situation with civil disorder happens within the United States, what plans are in place and how civil disorder is handled in this country. I will look at the different countries of China, and Saudi Arabia, as to how they handle civil disorder as well as show their contrasting methods of handling civil disorder. I feel that it is imperative that I will give a little history to each of the countries that I have chosen to show how their methods of dealing with and handling civil disorder have come about today. In closing I will show the similarities that all the countries have in common as well as make a brief statement on the country that I feel holds the civil rights of people closest to the United States. The United States (U.S.) would deal with problems related to civil order control in two or three different ways depending on the size of the civil disorder. In a worst case scenario; in order for the United States to maintain civil order and control they must use The United States Civil Disturbance Plan (Operation Garden Plot). The...

...AMERICAN INVOLVEMENT RELATED TO COMMON PROBLEMS OF CHINA, JAPAN AND NORTH KOREA This paper identifies some common issues that East Asian countries are struggling to deal with and how they are unique in some aspects and similar in others to problems that Western nations face. This paper focuses on the countries of China, Japan and North Korea and look primarily at the issues that arise from these nations’ struggle to shape their national identity on the world stage as well as how these nations are dealing with the ever increasing force of globalization. This paper also looks at the role that the United States plays in shaping or dealing with these issues, as well as how an American citizen might play a role in perpetuating or resolving these dilemmas. Through this work it should be made more clear what problems East Asian nations share and reveal that they must deal with them in a way that is both uniquely domestic but also influenced by factors that arise from the United States and other International actors. Common Problems in China, Japan and North Korea and American Involvement There are two major dilemmas that are addressed in this paper that are shared by these three nations. The first can be identified as an issue of International Sovereignty where these countries all have a vested interest in exerting their will in the international arena but all have limited ways of making this happen. Associated with the issue of establishing their sovereignty ...

...THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ORDER Controversiae (disputes) is the first word in book I of Hugo Grotius’ foundational text De Jure Belli ac Pacis(The Law of War and Peace, 1625). Much modern scholarship in international law has followed this strand of Grotius’ thought in orienting the subject to the problem of managing disputes. Since the late nineteenth century, generations of leading scholar-practitioners have shaped a view of international law which emphasizes legal doctrines and materials related to disputes: the specific rules one party to a dispute may invoke against another, the sources (e.g. treaty, custom) to which an international court will look to identify international law rules, the general principles (e.g. acquiescence, abuse of rights) that international courts have borrowed from national legal systems to help deal with international cases, the foundational principles of international law (e.g. state responsibility) enunciated by courts, the precedential implications of a specific decision or a specific settlement agreement. This focus owes much to the sociological model of the successful international lawyer as it developed in the English and French traditions of international law over the past century: that of the academically respected practitioner, primarily the world–wise professor-counsel or the erudite lawyer–civil servant, whose career involved both scholarship and representing litigants in the management of disputes, and might eventually culminate in becoming...

...engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings.[1][2][3] Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering,[4] and it was defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering.[5] It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering,geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering,[4] surveying, and construction engineering.[6] Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to federal levels, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies. ------------------------------------------------- History of the civil engineering profession Engineering has been an aspect of life since the beginnings of human existence. The earliest practices of Civil engineering may have commenced between 4000 and 2000 BC in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (Ancient Iraq) when humans started to abandon a nomadic existence, thus causing a need for the construction of shelter. During this time, transportation became increasingly important leading to the development of the wheel and sailing. Until modern times there was no clear distinction between civil engineering and architecture...

FEMA also coordinates federal emergency management activities and planning for the continuity of government should national security be threatened. Since 1979 FEMA has administered a range of authorities that enable the agency to serve as the primary source of federal technical and financial assistance for emergency management. Among the types of aid provided through FEMA programs are grants and material to help disaster victims meet pressing needs such as food and shelter, education and training programs to improve the response capabilities of nonfederal officials, and mobile communications equipment. FEMA exercises little regulatory authority, but directives that underlie the agency’s mission authorize the agency to establish standards for reconstruction of buildings after a disaster declaration is issued, for the construction of federal buildings in earthquake-prone areas, and for the operation of first responder equipment. FEMA has responded...

...as though no matter how bad the economy gets or how poorly a company performs, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (and other top executives) always come out in the best possible position, especially with compensation. Besides lavish compensation packages and best possible amenities, the CEO’s generally enjoy large severance packages or “golden parachutes”. Severance packages are basically contractual deals between the CEO and the corporation that in case the CEO is terminated for some reason or leaves the company, he/she is entitled to a specific sum of money on departure. Golden parachute is a term used to describe rich severance pay packages which in addition offer cash bonuses, stock options and benefits – essentially a complete and wealthy severance pay package. (Carroll & Buchholtz, 2009) The purpose of these packages was logical for industries prone to mergers, acquisitions or failure – it would protect the CEO in case the company experiences any of the above. Nevertheless it increased the moral hazard problem and the principal-agent problem within organizations. Basically the rationale has a fallacy where it protects the CEO and his/her pay if the company should fail, merge or be acquired but it doesn’t protect the company if the CEO performs badly and decides to bail out when the company is taking a dive. In this situation the CEO is capable of earning his/her regular salary and then collects the severance pay, benefits and other outstanding deals when the golden parachute...

... Introduction and Historical Background A. What the course will cover? This is not an introductory course. You are all lawyers; I shall assume a good deal of professional expertise, and that many of you already have a body of knowledge about American law. The task: prepare you for the coming year, give you the basic grounding that you will need for the courses you are going to start taking in September. For this, you need two things: ♥ A great deal of basic factual information about how the courts and the legal system function, and about basic legal concepts (and legal vocabulary); ♥ But more importantly: background information about some of the critical ways in which the American legal system is unique, and differs from legal systems elsewhere in the world. This is hard: often you will find that your professors or fellow‐students will make assumptions or presuppose certain ways of doing things that aren’t explained in class. A large goal of this course is to explain those assumptions, and make them explicit. >> UNIQUENESS OF AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEMS Briefly, there are four aspects of the American legal system that set it apart: 1) Inherited common law, existing out of three components: (a) judicial power; (b) civil jury trial; (c) law‐equity ; 2) Written Constitution and Bill of Rights; judicial...

...is rampant but still it has not reached its peak. Cyber crimes can take place across various jurisdictions and hence the legal issue of jurisdiction of International Courts and country specific Indian Courts arises. Throw light on the present system in India, how it is ineffective and also upon international treaties and legal solutions to deal with the same. I have suggested possible ways to tackle the problem taking into consideration the domestic laws in India. The inefficiency of legislature to enact a more user friendly law is also examined in detail. Turning back our focus on the main legal dilemma of Jurisdiction of Cyber Crime Courts we have suggested a model that would be successful in India taking into consideration its working in other countries. In my concluding remarks a problem solution approach is taking where we have addressed the issue and after due consideration the solution is suggested. If proposal taken and implemented with effectiveness it would lead to a better result and can be followed by other nations in solving the predicament regarding cyber crimes and criminals. In recent years, use of the Internet has grown at an explosive rate. However, there currently exists no single entity to control the enormous amount of information that is transmitted through it. In its beginnings, the...

This act was signed then into law by former president George W. Bush on October 26, 2011, just six weeks after the September 11th attacks to the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. This act reduced restrictions in law enforcement agencies’ gathering of intelligence with the U.S. The act also expanded the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism. The Patriot Act made many changes to U.S. law, such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA), the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA), the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), as well as the Immigration and Nationality Act. It was strongly opposed by Senator, Russ Feingold; he was the only Senator to vote against the bill. The final Act had a number of sunsets that was supposed to expire on December 15, 2005. On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama used an Autopen to sign a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act while he was in France.
