Civil Liberties and Homeland Security

In week one we discussed the new era of policing and corrections that emerged after 9/11. The era has been characterized as the homeland security era that has brought with it the militarization of the police. The post 9/11 homeland security era has also been characterized by wide-ranging anti-terrorism legislation that has received backlash for infringing on civil liberties (Donohue, 2009). The passing of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act (Patriot Act) has been at the forefront of anti-terrorism legislation and has provoked much controversy (Donohue, 2009).

The Patriot Act set a precedent in what executive strength was capable of passing in the name of national security (Donohue, 2009). In the wake of 9/11, Congress and the majority of the public had minimal objection to the increased security measures. The original Patriot Act was a 342-page document that gained immediate approval just weeks after 9/11 with overwhelming majority of bipartisan support. The immediate approval was made possible through the fear that 9/11 instilled on the United States and the threat of another terrorist attack (Donohue, 2009). In a 2001 study conducted by the Pew Research Center, their results showed that 55% of Americans felt that in order to curb terrorism it will be necessary to give up civil liberties (Doherty, 2013). The same study was conducted in 2011 and only 40% of Americans felt it was necessary to give up civil liberties (Doherty, 2013). Both results 10 years a part show that a significant amount of Americans favor security over civil liberties. Although, I would argue that the study is not representative of the populations anti-terrorism legislation directly impacts.

The intended purpose of the Patriot Act was to improve law enforcement capabilities in response to terrorism by expanding their investigative powers. The expanded powers and use of aggressive investigative measures have had adverse effects on the American population specifically from racial profiling tactics (Donohue, 2009). “Racial/ethical profiling is any police action such as arrest, search, contact or detention which was solely based on the person’s race or ethnicity rather than on the individual’s behavior (Von Kaenel, 2011, para. 1).” Post 9/11 policies have led to racial profiling of Muslim and Arab populations. After 9/11 they quickly became victims of discrimination with many instances leading to their arrest without due process. Von Kaenel (2011) discusses the critics against profiling and how it erodes civil liberties through unlawful/justified arrests.

Advocates of profiling argue that it is a necessary law enforcement tactic when carrying out an investigation (Von Kaenel, 2011). The main argument in support of profiling is logic and that law enforcement will investigate potential suspects based on shared commonalties of race and ethnicity (Von Kaenel, 2011). I understand the arguments for and against racial profiling which stem from security measures intended to increase homeland security. Both sides of the argument present merit but the degradation of freedom over potential security threats has real world consequences. These consequences have been ongoing over 18 years and I think the more we operate in the gray area using national security as justification, will result in continued loss of civil liberties.

Quasi-Experimental Design Considerations

A quasi-experimental design looks a lot like an experiment where you are comparing groups, except that you do not randomly assign individuals to the different conditions (e.g., treatment A versus treatment B) so you can compare outcomes. The people in each of the groups are already there. A key risk to validity of results is that there may be other influences on the outcomes (e.g., reasons people chose one treatment over another that might have motivated their outcomes, such as more positive expectations or other biases). Without knowing what these could be, it is difficult to determine if the treatment would work as well for others.

Again, think about the kind of missions and goals of those who wrote your RFP (e.g., to change behaviors). What might be a program evaluation that could be useful to them, at some point, that would employ a quasi-experimental design?

For this Discussion, assume that a quasi-experimental design could be a viable option for the evaluation outlined in your RFP.

To prepare:

• Review Chapter 10 from your course text listed in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Review U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences (2016) from this week’s Learning Resources.
• Consider how you might develop a program evaluation based on quasi-experimental design.
• Consider the variables and hypotheses you might want to test as part of your program evaluation. Also, what are potential threats to internal validity that might be associated with this kind of program evaluation design?

Post

Post your comprehensive response to each of the following:

• Briefly restate the general nature of your team’s RFP’s program (e.g., school anti-bullying program).
• How might you use a quasi-experimental design to test a question that would be relevant to your program evaluation (e.g., comparing age or gender groups or two preexisting programs)? What is a specific question you could address for your example?
• Describe the specifics of your design for addressing this question. What is your independent variable? What might be a viable dependent variable to answer the question? What hypothesis would you be testing for the proposed evaluation?
• What would be one method you might use to reduce threats to internal validity with this design?

Part 1 Annotated Bibliography

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations of resources (books, journal articles, websites, etc.) followed by a brief description and evaluation. This helps you keep track of each resource, its relevance as it pertains to your study, and its credibility and quality. Your evaluation of each resource may include the purpose and scope of the study, the theories consulted, the conclusions derived, the research instruments used, etc. As you review your annotated bibliography, you can get a quick assessment of the literature you have explored on a particular subject, and this, in turn, helps you decide what to further examine.

In this Assignment (Part 1), you will review five articles, which you identified in the Weeks 3 and 4 Discussions. In Week 7 (Part 2) and Week 8 (Part 3), you will further develop your annotated bibliography.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review the five articles you selected in the Week 3 Discussion using the guidelines described in the Stadtlander text (pp. 81–91).
• Review Chapter 4, “General Guidelines for Analyzing Literature” (pp. 31–42), in the Galvan text.
• Review Chapter 9, “Dissertation Chapter 2: Literature Review” (pp. 81–91), in the Stadtlander text.
• Download the Components of an Annotated Entry: Annotated Bibliography Sample Document.
• Review the following web resources:
  • “How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography: The Annotated Bibliography”
  • “Annotated Bibliography Samples”

The Assignment:

Thus far, you have searched the library and found seven articles: five for the Week 3 Discussion and two for the Week 4 Discussion. Develop and submit an annotated bibliography consisting of five articles chosen from among the seven articles you previously identified. At least one article relevant to the gap you identified in the Week 4 Discussion should be included in the annotated bibliography. Note: You can use this article for this week’s Discussion.

Use the Annotated Bibliography Sample Document from the Writing Center (located in this week’s Learning Resources) as a guideline for developing your Annotated Bibliography.

This is the first draft of your Annotated Bibliography for your Final Assignment. You will be adding to this Annotated Bibliography in Weeks 7 and 8.

Buying a New Pair of Shoes

You buy a new pair of shoes on sale. The printed receipt states very clearly that the shoes are not returnable. After you get them home, you wear the shoes around the house for a day and decide that they just don’t fit you correctly. So you take the shoes back to the store. You start to yell angrily about the store’s poor quality service so that people in the store start to stare. The clerk calls the store manager; after some discussion, the managers agrees to give your money back.

• Is this ethical?
• Provide an explanation and justification for your decision to return the shoes, and why your tactic was necessary. (See some examples of justifications on pages 131 – 132).
