Homeland Security

How do we define terrorism and why is such a definition important to Homeland Security? Discuss why there is confusion when trying to define terrorism.

Proposed Research Question and Proposed Statement
Throughout the course, you will prepare and submit sections of a research paper that is designed for you to contribute original research and analysis on an issue of your choosing relevant to homeland security.
​I have supplied a template with the required information for the assignment. I do not need more then is required.

Your final research paper submitted in Week 8 must be at least (10-12 pages+) plus a cover page (with name, date, course, and title), and any figures, tables, maps, and references. NOTE, the Title and Reference pages DO NOT COUNT TOWARD TOTAL PAGE COUNT.

For Week 1, you are to submit a research question and design statement. It must contain at least eight sources, at least six must be peer-reviewed. The specific research question should be of depth and breadth required for a major project. I have provided the template as well as an example of a paper that had a good research design.
