Threats To Information Protection - Industry And Academic Perspectives: An Annotated Bibliography, Michael E. Whitman, Herbert J. Mattord

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

Threats to information assets have always been a concern to those responsible for making information useful and defending its value.

A summary of threat classification models used in academic research is provided along with a summary of recent industry threat assessment reports. Finally, the results from a recent study, 2015 SEC/CISE Threats to Information Protection Report Including a Current Snapshot of the State of the Industry, are given.


Smoke And Mirrors: Generic Manipulation And Doubling In Dancing To “Almendra”, Amanda Ruth Waugh Lagji Dec 2016

Smoke And Mirrors: Generic Manipulation And Doubling In Dancing To “Almendra”, Amanda Ruth Waugh Lagji

Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal

This paper explores Mayra Montero’s novel Dancing to “Almendra” as a specifically postcolonial revision of the classic detective novel. Through an examination of the novel’s generic characteristics, I argue that elements that might be at first considered mere postmodern play—the conflation of the real and the performed or the illusion, anachronistic film references, the implantation of historical figures and cinematic personas alike into an otherwise fictional detective narrative—serves the novel’s socially committed, political critique. The doubling and smoke and mirrors that structure the novel ultimately serve to show the truth more clearly, as the postmodern play of performance, smoke, and …


Bringing Balance To The Force: The Militarization Of America’S Police Force And Its Consequences, Anta Plowden Nov 2016

Bringing Balance To The Force: The Militarization Of America’S Police Force And Its Consequences, Anta Plowden

University of Miami Law Review

The current trend in the militarization of police can be traced back to the earliest times in our country. We are soon approaching a tipping point in which the combination of aggressive military tactics, wrongful deaths and injuries, and a lack of accountability will lead to an increase in civil unrest and animosity towards those who have sworn to uphold the law. In an ironic twist of fate, the military force, which law enforcement is trying to emulate, has made sharp adjustments in the way it operates due to the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has adopted more police-like …


Drugs & Thugs: Funding Terrorism Through Narcotics Trafficking, Colin P. Clarke Oct 2016

Drugs & Thugs: Funding Terrorism Through Narcotics Trafficking, Colin P. Clarke

Journal of Strategic Security

To date, much of the literature on the financing of terrorism and insurgency has focused at the macro-level on groups involved in financing their organizations through involvement in the drug trade. This paper discusses some of those implications, but argues that to better understand the threat faced by the new generation of jihadists in the West, security forces and intelligence services must also look at the micro-level of how lower level trafficking, drug dealing and petty criminal activity, combined with prison radicalization and ties to the black market and illicit underworld, combine to present a new spin on a longstanding …


Niños, Niñas Y Adolescentes In Guatemala: Reflections On The Implementation Of The Ley Pina, Stacy Kowalski Jul 2016

Niños, Niñas Y Adolescentes In Guatemala: Reflections On The Implementation Of The Ley Pina, Stacy Kowalski

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

This Note examines Guatemala’s Ley de Protección Integral de la Niñez y Adolescencia (Law for the Comprehensive Protection of Children and Adolescents, or Ley PINA) and analyzes why this law has not effectively protected the rights of children and adolescents, within the context of historical and structural violence, which contribute to a lack of prioritization of youth in Guatemala. In 2014, the United States experienced a large influx of unaccompanied minors fleeing primarily from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. A delegate of attorneys and law students traveled to Guatemala to interview child advocates, including government officials, and representatives of non-governmental …


Sí, Tengo Miedo--Yes, I Am Afraid: How The Current Interpretation Of Asylum Law Is Contrary To Legislative Intent And What The Courts Should Do About It, Chelsea Mullarkey Jun 2016

Sí, Tengo Miedo--Yes, I Am Afraid: How The Current Interpretation Of Asylum Law Is Contrary To Legislative Intent And What The Courts Should Do About It, Chelsea Mullarkey

Cleveland State Law Review

This Note examines the current interpretation of asylum law and its misapplication when it comes to Central American asylees. Migrants from Central America who are escaping gang violence have long been neglected and overlooked. Thousands of them make the long and arduous journey to the United States borders only to be deported back to the violence they have been trying to escape. This Note first examines the history of refugee law in the United States and the recent actions taken in an attempt to stem the flow of Central American migrants into this country. This Note then demonstrates that Central …


A Comparative Approach To Economic Espionage: Is Any Nation Effectively Dealing With This Global Threat?, Melanie Reid May 2016

A Comparative Approach To Economic Espionage: Is Any Nation Effectively Dealing With This Global Threat?, Melanie Reid

University of Miami Law Review

In 1996, Congress passed the Economic Espionage Act (EEA), 18 U.S.C. Sections 1831 and 1832, to help thwart attempts by foreign entities intent on stealing U.S. proprietary information and trade secrets. Despite the passage of the EEA almost twenty years ago, if recent statistics are to be believed, there is so much trade secret thievery going around that the United States finds itself in the midst of an epidemic of economic espionage. Currently, any and all U.S. technology that is vulnerable and profitable is being targeted. Unfortunately, existing remedies and enforcement have barely blunted the onslaught against the U.S. which …

To Discovery And Beyond: A Comprehensive Look At Argentina’S Data Protection Laws, Sean Mccleary Feb 2016

To Discovery And Beyond: A Comprehensive Look At Argentina’S Data Protection Laws, Sean Mccleary

University of Miami Inter-American Law Review

This article strives to shed light on the interplay between discovery practice under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Argentina's data protection laws, and the ever-present possibility of discovery sanctions. For all intents and purposes, data protections laws serve as a double-edged sword that seek to protect an individual's privacy; however, data protection laws were not designed with litigation in mind. And because of that, it can be difficult for an Argentine company to comply with a discovery request that would implicate an individual's data privacy under Argentine law. In the end, it comes down to a balancing test. This …

Coyote Ugly: Ineffective Human Smuggling Statutes In Central America Call For A New Regional Treaty, Natalia W. Nyczak Jan 2016

Coyote Ugly: Ineffective Human Smuggling Statutes In Central America Call For A New Regional Treaty, Natalia W. Nyczak

San Diego International Law Journal

This Comment calls for the rethinking of the international emphasis on human trafficking by looking at its neglected sister and illuminating the consequences of mis-defining two related yet distinct international criminal offenses. This Comment is an original intervention in the area of international and transnational crime. It is the first of its kind to examine the deficiencies of the Smuggling Protocol through case studies and the first to offer practical reforms and theoretical clarifications of the definition of human smuggling to serve as a useful tool in future attempts to combat human smuggling and human trafficking. Part II examines the …


Left Behind: The Dying Principle Of Family Reunification Under Immigration Law, Anita Ortiz Maddali Jan 2016

Left Behind: The Dying Principle Of Family Reunification Under Immigration Law, Anita Ortiz Maddali

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

A key underpinning of modern U.S. immigration law is family reunification, but in practice it can privilege certain families and certain members within families. Drawing on legislative history, this Article examines the origins and objectives of the principle of family reunification in immigration law and relies on legal scholarship and sociological and anthropological research to reveal how contemporary immigration law and policy has diluted the principle for many families—particularly those who do not fit the dominant nuclear family model, those classified as unskilled, and families from oversubscribed countries—and members within families. It explores the ways in which women and children, …

Guilty Until Proven Innocent: A Comparative Analysis Of Organized Crime Laws In The United States, Italy, Japan, And Ecudor, Christina M. Strompf

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

“[T]he ‘relative power’ of criminal networks will continue to rise, and some countries could even be taken over and run by these networks.”1 The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines “organized crime” as “any group having some manner of formalized structure and whose primary objective is to obtain money through illegal activities.


Global Insecurity: How Risk Theory Gave Rise To Global Police Militarization, Nicholas S. Bolduc Jan 2016

Global Insecurity: How Risk Theory Gave Rise To Global Police Militarization, Nicholas S. Bolduc

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Today, across the globe, police agencies are militarizing to confront modern-day threats. This gradual shift towards militarized policing stems from the concept of risk-risk has driven nations to amend their laws so that their law enforcement agencies may militarize to meet whatever risk they face. In the United States, the gradual shift towards militarized police occurred after the crippling of the Posse Comitatus Act in the face of the developing 'War on Drugs" However, America is a late development in this trend; the majority of the Western world militarized themselves through the concept of 'gendarmes", while the Chinese militarized their …
