  • How the War on Crime Helped Make the War on Terror Possible James Forman, Jr.*
    EXPORTING HARSHNESS: HOW THE WAR ON CRIME HELPED MAKE THE WAR ON TERROR POSSIBLE JAMES FORMAN, JR.* I. INTRODUCTION During the Bush administration, opponents of the prosecution of the war on terror routinely denounced it as a betrayal of American values. The narrative went like this: the United States has a long-standing commitment to human rights and due process, reflected in its domestic criminal justice system's expansive protections, but after September 11, 2001, President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, and their allies dishonored this tradition. Consider the argument of Neal Katyal, the lead civilian lawyer for Salim Hamdan, Osama bin Laden's driver. Katyal describes meeting his client for the first time, when Hamdan asked him, "Why are you doing this?" Katyal responded: The reason that I am here is that my parents came to America with eight dollars in their pocket.... They came to America for a simple reason: they could land on its shores and they'd be treated fairly and their children would be treated fairly. And when the president issued this military order, which said, "If you're one of them, if you're a green card holder"-as my parents were-"or if you're a foreigner ... you get the beat-up Chevy version of Justice. You get sent to Guantanamo. But if you're an American citizen, accused of the most heinous crime imaginable, the detonation of a weapon of mass destruction, you get the Gold Standard. You get the American Civilian Trial." I told him that's why I was so offended.

  • Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook
    U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook Revised 2004 EDITORIAL NOTE: The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program staff of the FBI worked for over three years on the revision of the UCR handbook. Individuals from the various units that make up the national UCR Program read, reviewed, and made suggestions during this long endeavor. Our goal was to make the handbook user friendly as well as educationally sound. From a pedagogical standpoint, we tried to present one concept at a time and not overwhelm the user with too much information at once. Consequently, classifying and scoring are presented in two separate chapters. The user can learn first how to classify the Part I offenses and then how to score them. For easy reference, we consolidated explanations of important UCR concepts, such as jurisdiction, hierarchy, and separation of time and place, in one chapter. We retained many of the examples with which users are already familiar, and we also updated many of the examples so they better reflect the American society of the twenty-first century. Further, where possible, we tried to align summary and National Incident- Based Reporting System (NIBRS) ideas and definitions to help emphasize that summary and NIBRS are part of the same UCR Program. Listening to suggestions from users of this manual, we added an Index as a quick-reference aid and a Glossary; however, we were cautious to retain standard UCR definitions. The national UCR Program thanks the many substance review- ers from various state UCR Programs for their time and for their constructive comments.

  • Terrorism Versus Insurgency: a Conceptual Analysis
    Crime Law Soc Change DOI 10.1007/s10611-015-9601-7 Terrorism versus insurgency: a conceptual analysis Mustafa Coşar Ünal1 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2016 Abstract This study analyzes the distinction between terrorism and insurgency by drawing upon the case of the PKK conflict in Turkey. It provides a conceptual discussion through multi-dimensional analyses from the actor-oriented,theaction- oriented,thepurpose-oriented, and the ontology-oriented perspectives. In so doing, in addition to the organizational characteristics, it critically identifies the PKK’svarying strategies of terrorist and insurgent violence, and their temporality and reasoning as the conflict unfolded to make conceptual inferences. This study found, first, that while the PKK as an actor indicates an insurgent character, the PKK’s use of violence reflects intense terrorism action particularly after its military defeat. Second, the use of terror- ism by the PKK reflects an inextricable overlap in temporality and a direct link with guerilla methods. Despite the PKK’s terrorist and insurgent violence resulted from different factors and reasoning at the intermediate level; they are designed to converge at the overall aim of the PKK’s political campaign. Third, the PKK violence reflects varying purposes of terrorism, e.g., intimidation, attrition, survival and group solidar- ity. Fourth, after reaching the tipping point that resulted in its military defeat in 1994, the PKK resorted to more indirect and asymmetrical violence in an increasing tendency to deflect state power and, thus, to coerce Turkey into a political compromise, i.e., a negotiated settlement. Introduction Distinguishing terrorism from other forms of political violence, particularly from insurgency, has raised questions about how to conceptualize terrorism.
