Essay Instructions: The Paper MUST pass Turnitin.com scrutiny.

The main source must come from the following book: The Bureau, The Secret History of The FBI. Here is the link -

http://books.google.com/books?id=5Ge-rFNBhYsC&pg=PP1&dq=The+Bureau&sig=r80qRw_adO8vE0GRSxYCnksug4g

The text must be cited numerous (7 to 10) times in APA style, including the Author, year and page number of citation. This must be the same for all citations (Author, year, page number).

The research paper must focus on the FBI in general and it's failure as a bureaucracy in that text. It also must have a minor focus on how it’s failures were integrity or ethics related. Bring into accounts of other issues that affected the bureaucracy that may have aided in this failure, especially from the aforementioned main source. Additionally, the paper should mention how the bureau continued to fail the American people up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Here are the sections of the paper that must be followed exactly:

I. Intro (2 pages)- Indicate what the topic is (major crisis/problem), why is this an important societal issue?, it's impact on society. Brief description of the FBI's role on society. How was the research conducted, the literature used for insight.

II. Literature review (approx 3 pages) - Framework of theory (digest the authors approaches and the positions they took in the book, article etc. they wrote.)

III. Details (4 pages) - Factual overview of topic, the failure. (example: when FBI agent turned traitor operate undetected for a decade or more). How and why this occurred.

IV. Analysis (4 pages) - What has been read? Relationship to problem. Evaluate and criticize the information. Indicate evidence of symptoms that led up to the failure (it didn't just happen overnight.)

This must be included in the analysis section (word for word)- O'Hara mentions several categories of failure. One such failure is structural failure, "occurs when operations, procedures and processes that are functioning according to design lead to failure" (O'Hara, 2005, p.18). Another failure mentioned is oversight failure, which "occurs when operational supervision and oversight staff fail to detect and/or address organizational conditions that depart significantly from the norm" (O'Hara, 2005, p.19). A third failure O'Hara (2005) indicated was cultural deviation, which "occurs when elements of the organization increasingly operate according to their own standards, with little regard for the larger organization and its rules" (p.19). These categories of failure centralize the problems that persisted and will continue to plague the FBI.

(Explain how the facts of the research fit each of the three failures mentioned by O'Hara).

V. Summary (2 pages) - Conclusion. Briefly describe what the topic was, major findings (facts), current status of the FBI and any recommendations to prevent future problems or current issues that might lead to such significant failure.

Essay Instructions: In 2000, FBI special agents lured Russian cyber criminals Vasiliy Gorshkov and Alexey Ivanov to the United States with a ruse involving a job interview. The FBI also downloaded evidence of their crimes from computers in Russia. Using information from your textbook, additional materials provided by your instructor, and your own independent research, discuss whether you think the FBI's investigative techniques went too far. Did the FBI act under the color of any international laws or compacts, or did they "go off the reservation?" Do the FBI's actions stand up to scrutiny under current US cyber laws? Have there been other, more recent examples of cases in which US law enforcement targeted non-US citizens in a similar manner? What, if any, are the positive or negative impacts of this case on subsequent cyber crime investigations? Your submission should be a minimum of four pages in length, and it should conform to APA formatting and citation standards. A title page and reference list (APA style) are mandatory, but will not count toward the four-page requirement.
