Criminal Activities of Gangs and Terrorism

            The city that I personally selected is not yet recognized as a gang issue. However, one additional criterion that I would suggest to umpire the being of a gang contained by a city is homicides. Thus if the crime rate has been low or it majorly focused on one of the areas such as in drug trafficking or rather a prostitution, and then all of a sudden a homicide case occurs, I strongly believe that this would be a warning that would need to raise an alarm. It is evident that most of the attacks from the gangs are usually fights over a given territory and thus in committing a homicide on one of the gang members would be a form of message delivery or rather retaliation (Hess 2014).

            The 9/11 commission report had a core influence on the FBI as well as the CIA in relation to the counterterrorism activities. This report, therefore, assisted both the agencies to start working collectively and helps them to prioritize their search behind any occurrence of an attack. At the start, the FBI had information systems that were poor as the systems limited them to the access that they really needed in their investigation (Kean & Hamilton n.d.).  Thus they were mostly unable to identify potential suspects or missing evidence in the documentation where the suspects of the case moved under the radar. Poor related relationships resulted to poor accessibility to information and this would have outlay a lot of innocent lives. Thus, with these reports, it gave both the FBI as well as the CIA better strategies on the manner in which they would counterfeit potential suspects and probably examine the subsequent move of the terrorist’s organization.
