Congressional Cybersecurity Oversight: Who’S Who And How It Works, Lawrence J. Trautman
Congressional Cybersecurity Oversight: Who’S Who And How It Works, Lawrence J. Trautman
Lawrence J. Trautman Sr.
Cybersecurity remains perhaps the greatest challenge to the economic and physical well being of governments, individuals, and business worldwide. During recent months the United States has witnessed many disruptive and expensive cyber breaches. No single U.S. governmental agency or congressional committee maintains primary responsibility for the numerous issues related to cybersecurity. Good oversight stands at the core of good government.

So many aspects of cybersecurity have the potential for use by: terrorists; by foreign entities as a tool to conduct …
Reliably Unreliable: The Problems With Piecemeal Federal Transmission And Grid Reliability Policies, Joshua P. Fershee
Reliably Unreliable: The Problems With Piecemeal Federal Transmission And Grid Reliability Policies, Joshua P. Fershee
Joshua P Fershee
In the past, electricity was considered a local concern, but over time major portions of the electrical grid have become regional, national, and even international in scope. Electricity regulation has evolved into a complex web of multijurisdictional oversight, and this evolution has created both tensions and opportunities.

The Terrorist Is A Star!: Regulating Media Coverage Of Publicity-Seeking Crimes, Michelle W. Ghetti
Michelle W. Ghetti
Publicity-seeking crimes, including terrorism, almost by definition depend on the media for their effectiveness. Violence or threats of violence have long been deemed “newsworthy” by the media and publicity-seeking criminals have put this fact to full use. By attacking highly visible targets in a dramatic manner, publicity-seeking criminals guarantee themselves saturation news coverage. They make a shocking appeal to traditional news values by making full use of the news industry’s attraction to the dramatic, conflict-laden, and potentially tragic event. The media furthers the criminals’ objectives by publicizing an incident that was staged for the very purpose of obtaining media coverage. …
