For your main post, answer this question:
Pick one of the two discussion questions below to answer in your HS Chat; please be sure to present research to support your discussion and document that research in APA format. Your initial post should be in by 5:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday.
1. Terrorism is not random. Like any good military force or covert agency, terrorist groups require the use of strategy. The advantage of strategy is that terrorists have the ability of striking in a seemingly random manner. The terrorists almost always take the initiative. Law enforcement and security forces tend to respond to the terrorists’ strategy. If you know the strategies, however, you can better predict terrorists’ actions and take the initiative away.
Discuss some of the most relevant characteristics of terrorist strategies. What does it mean to Adopt an Intelligence-Based Approach to Antiterrorism?
2. List some of the common Characteristics of Terrorist groups.
Please use a case example in your answer, as well as research to support your opinion.

Sample Discussion Board Post for Criminal Justice
Submitted by Melissia Anderson
Effective writing is so important to criminal justice professionals for many reasons. According to
Wallace and Roberson (2009), it is estimated that we use 70% of our time communicating. This may be
accomplished either verbally or in writing. A verbal communication is considered less formal, while a
written statement is lasting and given more significance. Because written statements are permanent,
they are assessed as more significant. A report filed by a law enforcement agent can be used for the
prosecution or defense of a defendant in a court of law. Inaccuracies in a written report can result in the
failure to convict an individual of a crime. The legal ramifications of unclear or imprecise writing can be
substantial. An officer must be able to explain the reasons a report is written and filed. They must be
able to defend errors in their reports. Under oath, they will have to testify from the contents of the
report. Criminal justice professionals must be able to not only file written reports, but to draft narratives
that are comprehensible and logical for others to grasp (Wallace & Roberson, 2009).
Working in Pretrial Services I know that clarity is particularly essential. If our court officers do
not precisely note the judge’s terms or conditions of release, a defendant may inadvertently violate
their release. It could cost the individual their freedom. Many times, the judiciary may be vague when
defining terms of release. In this instance court communications must be sent to distinguish the original
intent from the judge. It wastes valuable time and court resources to clear up ambiguous conditions.
Plagiarism involves stealing another person’s ideas or works and using them as your own.
Sometimes this can be blatant, like copying sentences word for word without using quotation marks. In
other situations, it may be less obvious, such as paraphrasing content from another source but not citing
it. This; however, is still plagiarism because that content originated from someone else’s ideas or
research, not your own. Plagiarism in this instance can be avoided by simply using an in-text citation at
the beginning or the end of the paraphrased content. It is always a good idea to cite a source rather
than chance an allegation of plagiarism (Keiser University, n.d.). Stealing from another can destroy the
credibility of any criminal justice professional. Because they represent the law and courts, law
enforcement agents need to be above reproach.
