1-1 Module One Discussion: Impact of Terrorism
Hello everyone,
My name is Zanaea and I'm from New Jersey but currently living in Georgia with my family. I
am a full-time student and occasionally work as a babysitter. I am interested in criminal justice
because I grew up watching crime shows and found them very intriguing and I also have family
members who work in the criminal justice system. Then there the fact that I always wanted to
help people, so that another reason I'm interested in criminal justice. I do not have any
professional background related to homeland security
Some benefits of U.S. counterterrorism efforts is to strengthen law enforcement and judicial
capabilities, expand aviation and border security, deepen global information sharing, counter
terrorist financing, improve crisis response, and counter violent extremism (DOS, 2021). There
are some counterterrorism efforts that might be considered inconvenient, restrictive, or infringing
on personal freedoms. For example, after the passing of the Patriot Act, it allowed covert or
undercover search warrants which have been blamed for being in violation of the Fourth
Amendment.
