Larry Gaines in his article: “Homeland security: A new criminal justice mandate” (pages 67-85 in your text) talks to the bureaucracy established to address homeland security issues. Use this article as a springboard for this discussion. Bureaucracies are the offices where we take theory and put it into practice—it is where the rubber meets the road. These offices carry out or implement the laws and policies passed by the legislature. Select a specific crime control policy initiative, and show how the initiative is implemented in the judicial, law enforcement, or corrections bureaucracy. Then, address how the bureaucracy influences crime control policy. Initial Post: Explain how the discretion of the bureaucracy to implement policy influences criminal justice policy. What instruments of power are used by the bureaucracy to carry out the policy? Explain how the policy process and the relationships of stakeholders influence criminal justice policy. Support your claims with examples from the required materials and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite your references with both in-text and APA citation at the end of your post. Your initial post is due by Day 3 (Thursday) and should be at least 400 words in length. Guided Response: Evaluate and respond to two of your peers’ posts, and respond to at least one Instructor Response in the discussion. In your response, determine the effect of the policy on the criminal justice system. Evaluate the effects, and address the limits and controls in place to ensure that these bureaucracies are carrying out the original intent of the legislatures. Do the bureaucracy policies as implemented have social justice implications? Respond to two peers by Day 7.

Provide details and examples that help the audience understand the specifics of the policy or issue.
Finally, include information about the potential implications for the issue or policy as it affects the nursing perspective you are representing.
Conclusion:
End with a strong conclusion that reviews your main points and makes a clear recommendation for the action that needs to take place during the meeting or in subsequent meetings. 
Remember that you need to be convincing as well as professional demonstrating your thorough knowledge of the subject and the perspective of the group you are representing.

Using the assessment scenario, write a 3-4 paper double spaced paper.
Must have 2 primary sources and 2 secondary sources.
Focusing must be on the expansion of executive power after the 9/11 attacks as the prevailing theme of the essay.
Assessment Scenario: As commander-in-chief, the president retains the ability to commit troops to action and maintain them in theater for up to 90 days without need for Congressional authorization. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, President Bush sent troops into Afghanistan and Iraq in support of the war on terror. This assignment will provide students an opportunity to investigate the arguments in support and in opposition to military involvement, evaluate Americans’ levels of support for the conflicts, and describe the global impact of this military intervention.
1. Outline the president’s justification for military intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan.
2. Additionally, students should identify another government official who supported military intervention and their reasons for doing so.
3. Identify two government officials who disagreed with military intervention and their reasons for opposition.
4. Explain the impact of U.S. military intervention domestically.
Questions that should be answered in addressing this section include:
Did the American public support intervention?
Did the level of support change over time?
Did these opinions result in any electoral shifts?
5. Describe the impact of U.S. military intervention on other countries.
Did the U.S. receive international support for our military intervention? Why or why not?
Did our military intervention lead to regime changes? Describe them.
What has been the impact of those regime changes?
To complete this assessment satisfactorily, you will need to gather and assess information relevant to the Assessment Scenario and the questions listed within the scenario. Next, analyze, evaluate, and synthesize. Synthesize means combining two or more pieces of information to form something greater more complex.
For example, the U.S. invaded Iraq (information piece one) and the government of Saddam Hussein was overthrown (information piece two) which allowed a democratic government to be installed (synthesis.) The decision to invade Iraq (and Afghanistan) involved decisions by the President and his immediate advisors. Other decisions dealt with how to prosecute the war in each country, how to deal with enemy forces such as the Taliban, our response to fighting among factions (Sunni and Shia) in Iraq, etc. You will be required to evaluate U.S. choices and actions, and relate the consequences of these actions to Presidential decision-making (i.e., was there an alternative to invading Iraq? Why or why not? Should we have pulled out of Iraq when we did? Why or why not?) Finally, after reading the Assessment Scenario, was invasion the right thing to do? What was the impact of these wars on the international reputation of the U.S.? Did the wars in any way affect you, your family, or your community? If so, how?

What is the basic framework that continues to resonate within the politics of America?
What is the nullification strategy and how did it impact the supreme court nomination process? Is this still in place or was this strategy used in the confirmation hearing of Judge of Ketanji Brown Jackson?
What does it mean to be a citizen & have birthright citizenship in America? Do you trust Democracy as a citizen? Why or why not? -This question can be answered whether you’re an American citizen or not(I’m not,have lived in the US for 5 years )
