Essays on Money Laundering

Of all wars to have been conducted by the USA, the war on drugs is the least promising, with government and law enforcement agencies fighting it in a losing battle. When American authorities got it going some 4 decades ago, it was doomed to be a losing war for a number of reasons, of which one is a historic precedent never taken into consideration. It is well-documented that the only lesson we ever learn from history is that we do not learn any lessons from it at all. However, what America should learn is that conventional tools of mandatory bans and restrictions imposed ...

EO 13493 and 13567 is a follow up reversal of EO 13492, which was a presidential order for the close down of Guantanamo Bay. Guantanamo Bay is the detention camp for terrorist suspects under investigation by both the U.S government and the Interpol. The president signed the executive order in January 2009 (Whitehouse.gov).

The order sought to create and try out new ways of arresting, detaining and convicting the terror suspects as opposed to exploiting ways of closing it down. This decision by the president of the United States was possible due to various factors. The EO could have been ...

The creation of modern technologies enabled people to experience a luxurious life compared to the past century. However, through the use of the new technology, criminals can easily penetrate through the protective security and steal one’s identity with a single click of the mouse button.

- Find an outline an example of one economic policy/practice from any country that fits into the realist perspective of IPE. Don’t all choose the same country

The great example of the economic policy in realist context is Russian gas policy. Currently Russia uses its neighbor Ukraine to deliver gas to Europe, however the emergence of new projects for Russian gas exports to Europe provoked the gas conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began at the turn of 2005-2006. Then Ukraine created obstacles to the free transit of Russian gas to Europe. Particularly acute gas war was at the turn of 2008-2009. The absence of the Russian-Ukrainian agreements on gas supplies and its conditions of transit interrupted the supply of hydrocarbons from Russia to Europe through ...

Chechen Terrorism in Russia

Religion, culture and politics have played a huge role in the terrorist attacks executed by Chechen rebels in Russia. The conflict instigated by Chechen rebels stem from the fact that Chechnya, the territory they claim, became part of the national territory of Russia due to historical circumstances. Long before Russia emancipated as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Chechnya was part of an independent republic called the Mountain Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. However, that nation did not last long, as the USSR occupied it and made it into a province called the Chechen Autonomous Oblast (Kramer, 2010). To quell strong ...

The rational choice theory is of the opinion that an individual acts by weighing the costs and benefits brought about by an action at the end through the use of personal advantage. As far as crime is concerned, the theory assumes that the rational decisions made by criminals to engage in any crime are made through the revision of all outcomes and possibilities. The outcomes depend on the benefits the criminals get by committing these crimes. Criminals do however consider the consequences of their actions, such as imprisonment and tread with care in the process of committing a crime. The ...

Question 1

The government of the former President George W. Bush was lenient in the control of torturing of terrorist suspects. In a statement through the department of justice, his government issued a document confirming the torturing of Al-Qaeda suspects.

This is a technique of covering a suspect with a cotton cloth over the head then pouring water over it to block any breathing avenues (the mouth and nose). The technique is extremely painful and has numerous resultant effects of the individual that is tortured. Sources close to the former president that have ...

International Drug Trafficking: The Prevalence of Economic Crimes

Introduction Sobering are the statistics of modern-day illicit drug use; it is estimated that over 210 million people per year use illicit drugs, with 16 million of these users living in The United States alone (Levitsky 228). Annually, the annual economic and social costs to the United States total over a staggering $100 billion, and the majority of research suggests that this number is set to increase as the global trend of drug trafficking increases as well (Cox et al. 430). Consequently, the most obvious result of increased international drug trafficking is the increase of crimes that associated with ...

Introduction

The task of this report requires the development and analysis of a counterintelligence activity, which specializes in the involvement of drugs, pertaining to an operation conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). A plethora of counterintelligence sectors exist including matters involving illegal drug activities, terrorism, child pornography rings, money laundering, Internet scams, corporate security, and more. In general, counterintelligence competes with these aforementioned areas sometimes in ways that overlap. For example, an Internet scam may involve theft of consumer credit card information – as well as running illegal or non-existent gambling websites. The chosen case study to be developed concerns ...

The Patriot Act was passed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to strengthen domestic security and increase the ability of the government to identify and stop terrorists. It has proved to be one of the most controversial laws in U.S. history (Doyle, 2001). It is comprised of ten titles which give federal law enforcement greater authority. Advocates claim that the Patriot Act is constitutional and instrumental in the war on terror. They cite a number of successful investigations and arrests of terrorists, and believe that law strikes an effective balance between civil rights and the ability of the government to protect ...

Planned change is a process that needs a continuous implementation of elimination of the demand for illegal substances. Setting up goals and objectives would unilaterally resolve the drug problem eventually, as absent demand. Thus, the impetus for the drug trade would disappear. Therefore, the cost of social and health costs related to drug abuse would reduce. Goals and objectives establish a framework for the program to be effective. They create a direction for the program. They also make the goals and objectives measurable through periodic assessments of items achieved. Goals have the mission of orienting the integration activity and budgets of the program ...

In the opinion of Pickett and Pickett (2012), corruption may be described as the misuse of power for individual gain. Sometimes, corruption is interchangeably used with bribery. In the opinion of Santoro and Strauss (2013), bribery is the act of offering, seeking or receiving any valuable item to sway the actions of people with power in discharge of public duty. Forms of corruption involve fraud, embezzlement, favoritism, collusion, and extortion. Evidence shows that corruption and bribery have been practiced for many years; although up to date, they have attracted increasing attention. It is unclear whether the attention of corruption ...

Bribery and corruption are two related vices that are prevalent in virtually all global societies. Bribery is defined as the act of giving or receiving something with the core intention of influencing the actions of the recipient. These actions most often than not induce the recipient to carry out illegal, dishonest or activities that breach trust in the conduct of business. Corruption on the other hand focuses on the misuse of public office, rank, or status for one’s personal gain (OCSE, 2000). Bribery and corruption happen to be impediments to both global and national development. Countries and ...

Abstract

Alternative dispute resolution has been hailed by many people for the crucial role it plays in finding solutions to disputes outside the courtroom.

In this kind of dispute resolution, a third party reviews the facts and evidence of two parties and imposes a legally binding decision. The fact that the parties to a dispute have total control over the process makes it more admirable as compared to the judicial process. The parties have the ability to make their own schedules and choose the arbitrators. For a ...

Based on the article of Cerf (2012), he stated that internet access is not either a civil right or a human right. Internet access is powered by technology and technology is a means to enable rights, but cannot be considered as a right in itself.

Internet access is only a precondition for enjoying a number of human rights. The transformative nature of the internet does not only enable the individuals to ...

Introduction

The inter linkages of the international finance systems cannot be denied nor overemphasized. A movement in one major stock market signals either a threat or an opportunity in another stock market. For instance, a boom in the New York Stock Exchange will also signify the upbeat in the other foreign stock markets such as in Asian and Latin American markets. Conversely, the fall of the U.S. housing markets led to the credit crunch felt by most financial centers in the U.S., Great Britain, and other European markets. Hence, any threat to the global financial market may mean a single threat to the ...
